House of Hybrids featuring the Zenesis PV

[Murdock Ruml]

I'm still using my original wick and on 3rd coil. I bet it's the coil, but idk. I've yet to have wicking issues since I got her Rollin

Yeah, vapor production drops when iy is time to change the coil. I change mine about every week. I could get longer then a week with dry burning. But I figure why bother.

Plus rinsing and dryburning takes about 7min. I am down to 3min to wrap a new coil. Times money!

In my hand.

you certainly won't lose it that way...

Well I went through two tanks on my Zen~ standard yesterday on the edge of my seat all day......ok who am I kidding I go through two tanks on my standard every day
GOOD MORNING ZENFIDELS!!!!!

I hear you there, lol, I go through about a tank and a half between my Katana and Zenesis Mini

 

[UnFettered_Soul]

I can just see my wife hand it to me and tell me it's not working after the battery runs out.

I won't post all the teasing I get.
Not to mention the guffaws when I mention all I need is juice and batteries.
Every new PV I buy just gets bigger and better. I can take the teasing tho'.

Question fellow Zenfidels: When is it time to switch out the wick? D: I seem to have to tilt Adrianna at about a 1o'clock angle because at a 3o'clock angle, it just doesn't wick well enough. BUT! I might have a short because my 2nd coil isn't glowing as brightly. I'm confused. D:

Move that 2nd coil until it does glow as bright as the others....then

Dry burn, dry burn, dry burn...PLUNGE HOT COIL AND WICK into a glass of water. Dry burn, dry burn, dry burn...PLUNGE HOT COIL AND WICK into a glass of water. Scrape any gunk you can see off with your fingernail, dry burn, fill the tank and vape. You can get a LOT of mileage out of dry burning the gunk off the coil and wick.

Your new coil may need to be gunked up MORE too though. Once you have juice in the tank, fire up the coil, tip the Zenesis until the juice puts the coil out. Refire the coil, tilt and let the juice put the coil out...try vaping and see if that helps.

Odd, I find mine works better if I just rinse and dry burn now and then.
But, my juice is heavy on the VG.
I changed wicks to go to the 325, but bent it trying to get it in.
(why does everything to do with vaping sound so darn dirty?)

So, I trimmed some off the mesh and re-rolled it.
I have 5 wraps, but it seems to "burn" my juice, it gets dark not even half a tank down, so I'll probably go back to 3 or 4 wraps.

Thanks for offering help earlier Vic - that wasn't the issue, but I appreciate you trying to help!!!

PP sux

. . . . yep that's about it - g'night Zenfidels!

I love the sound SS makes when you quench it.

Reminds me of the sound fairies make during my Pluid making process.

I dry burn/plunge whenever I see a bunch of gunk on the wick and coil. It helps a lot too. Use a paperclip to roll the wick. Leave the paperclip in the wick when you insert it in the wick hole and while you wrap the coil. It gives me the rigidity I need on the wick to insert it and wrap the coil....not too tight on the coil wrap, but enough to touch the wick and have the ability to move the coil for adjustment.

Well, I hope you figured it out!

Yes, PP SUCKS. Good night, Paislia!

 

[Paislia]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I just need another ptfe insert - must have singed mine and shrunk or at least warped the opening. It is working now, but I will not be posting any pics lol. Thanks again!

feel bad for you zen....the joy of dealing with corporate america! bankers are right up there with lawyers as the lowest form of life on the planet. hope it all works out for ya zen!

Get that tire filled and drive that thing! 5.0s sound so nice!

Ya I know. I am in the middle of doing a 3G alt swap on it. Its a long story.

She has every bolt on part known to man. Including off road H and flows. So this one sounds even better. Cam, Heads ETC ETC.

How many PVs can you get in it? Looks like maybe 4?

I've been using one since before I got my Zenesis. On the left side I can fit 4 tube mods in the elastic loops and Zen's wrenches and spare mesh & wire in the little bag that comes with the case. On the right side I fit 4-6 bottles of juice in the sewn-in pocket, a small plastic case with 2 spare batteries above the juice, and a small, zippered Blackberry headphones case that holds about half a dozen cartos/attys/dca's above the battery case. I toss it in my messenger bag every day and take it to work. It's a great, versatile case.

Thanks sinnyc ... I think I'll have to get me one!

vicsan.... I looked through the FAQ and didn't see it. Is there any place where the group has stashed away maintenance tips like this?

My thoughts on hitting 500,000 views...

Half a million views in 6 months... I'm blown away by all of this!

In October when I went to Vapercon I was worried that nobody was going to like the Zenesis... In February when the first units shipped and there were switch/finish and oil issues... I thought I was going to lose my house over this endeavor...

But the tide has turned and we reached a tipping point. I am not sure if there is a more sought after PV on the market... is there anything else out there in such demand?

And how long has it been since we had anybody that was REALLY angry about a PV in their possession? Now people are angry because they CAN'T get them!

Now, most people would get all full of themselves and say "LOOK AT WHAT I DID!"... "I'M A SUCCESS!"

That won't happen here... because that's not real... and I'll you why...

Because when these things FIRST shipped it was me and Riddle and Lorderos in here trying to help people get things working... and people fighting back pretty hard when we tried to help...

TODAY if a person comes in here with an issue there are DOZENS of people that jump in and help... and that number is growing every day!

I DIDN'T DO THIS... WE DID THIS! ALL OF US COMBINED!

This community is growing, and it's one of the strongest on ECF at the moment... sure there are others with even bigger numbers... but they are not growing at this rate! Hoards of Zenfidels show up on Stickam shows... Spreading the word! Zenesis is no longer a product... it's a movement.

Every last one of us should be proud of what WE have done... And what we will do in the future!

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for making this dream into a reality... without the Zenfidels... there is no Zenesis.

Yup, remember it well I am glad to see that just about everyone in here is now a bonafide Genisis pro. This is one big happy group of colorful characters and growing every day. It's great to see such a strong community here and everyone (for the most part anyway) getting along and having good conversations.

Cheers Zen~ and Zenfidels

I do the same, except with a mini case and much less stuf, lol

With all the nice car photos I thought Chevy needed some representation. Here is my toy. 355cid, 4-speed with 373:1 posi 12 bolt.

Nice Nova. Ive had the stang since 2002 but first and foremost am a Chevy man. I just could not part with the Stang and one had to go. So I turned my beloved Camaro into a 4 door Buick. Some guy bought it for his kid and that kid is beating the crap out of it. I had to yell at him one day. He passed on my offer to buy it back too. Lil punk. Kids just like I was.

My chevy love now goes to a 88 K5 Blazer.

do you recommend a mascara brush or maybe a tooth brush?
