House of Hybrids featuring the Zenesis PV

There is no need for a plugable fill hole

Welp... both the chinese piece of crap, as well as the original it was based on, have BOTH been laying on their sides on my desk (I've got them hooked up to pass-throughs... cable coming out the bottom, can't even stand them up really) and neither is leaking. Sooooo....

... and both are wicking fine.

 

[tybin]

i just read that it doesn't on some of the super t and gg devices

i thought it was because the battery was touching it so even though the buton in the zen is not pushed its still touching the spring or base of the pv

Damn, I finally caved and turned my freaking furnace on.

yes pressure in the tank matters for capillary action. you need air to get there to fill the void from juice usage which can't happen with a wick like i use, no air is getting through that thing. if you have a vaccum in the tank, juice will be sucked down to the vaccum and not up through the wick. in a straw like wick it barely matters cause there is a way for air to get into the tank. here is your science lesson for the day

Question for all of you geniuses...

What's the smallest and lightest 18650 PV that doesn't look like crap with a ZAU?

* ... only something click-and-buy commercially accessible. Don't make me drool over more caravellis...

Agreed, completely. I have found that if you roll your wick thinner than the wick hole you can achieve the necessary air displacement needed for proper capillary action even with the fill hole plugged. Theoretically leaking could still occur with this setup, however in my experience leaking is not an issue, even leaving your PV on it's side for extended periods of time. This provides for a pocketable genesis atty/pv.

That all being said, I see no need to plug the fill hole in the Zenesis APV's. It's too big to fit in my pocket anyway

Good eavining everyone

Thanks for the pics, looks like everyone is having a blast at VC. Whose with me for a west coast VC tour

 

[KimberlyM]

I have to admit that I am looking at all of these pics of the people at VC with jealousy in my heart!

 

[kilala]

oops, wrong phone... lolz

 

[kiba]

Many thanks to Chief Thunder for bringing this for me, glad I got to meet you all... err most of you, and got to see lots of cool stuff. Im done for the night but Ill be back at vc tomorrow. I actually got that Chinese DID working lolz, w/ a whole lot of fiddling. thanks for that btw.

BTW I am insanely jealous at anyone who got a sidewinder you have no idea how ridiculously beautiful that thing is and well put-together it is untill you hold it. IMO the pics do not do it justice, Very tiny too, I love black PV's and I wanted one so bad but w/ the 2 provaris and a zap/other zap that I am getting for my gf's ProVari, I might have to wait a month or two. but well see how much willpower I have tomorrow If there are any left.)

Thanks for all the pics everyone. It sucks sucks sucks not being there, but at least we get to live vicariously a bit.

 

[hiatus]

I agree! Thanks for the pics. No way I could be there. PARTY ON!

 

[Shaitaan]

Welp... cut too big a piece of wick. Roll it normally. Try to insert it into hole. Realize it doesn't fit. Tighten it down. Still doesn't fit. Tighten it down s'more... barely fits, but now you've got a 'solid' wick exactly like he was suggesting. I was surprised that it still worked well, and listening to him talk it seems like it's even optimal if he's doing it habitually.


I haven't ever covered the fillhole on my zen. But the other-device-that-I-probably-shouldn't-be-talking-about is designed for it. It actually comes with a screw you have to remove to fill. 'interferes with the wicking'... I imagine it does because of air pressure in terms of tipping.. but it SHOULDN'T interfere with capillary action.

if there's no negative air pressure at all, YES it will

As soon as the doors opened people ran straight there, one guy bought one of everything!!!

That guy is my new hero.

 

[LadyStrick9]

OMG These pics are so awesome! Thanks guys! It's nice to see everyone smiling and having a good time!

MISSEMMA! You taking the pics? LOL I don't see you????? That Sidewinder is AWESOME!!!!!

Someone get me some pool noodle pieces? I can't find them in Colorado in the fall (swimming season is over!).

Have fun all you guys and gals! I'm so jealous but SO enjoying seeing you have a good time

p.s. Good morning to all my Zen friends here on the forum...

 

[quynhwil]

Good morning everyone.
If I was at Vapercon instead of at work, I would have a very big smile on my face.

Hope everybody have fun. Maybe next year.

regarding the kick and it's drain. I just read in another thread something that is noteworthy. It probably will not have the drain problem in the Zen. I am thinking this, cuz you need to push the button on the zen devices for it to complete the circuit. correct?

Ty, I'm pretty sure there is a separate circuit inside the Kick. That's why it has that little spring on it that has to touch ground. It also has to sit on top of the positive battery terminal right? There is a circuit that is always complete. I am not an electrical engineer, but if there is some kind of 'check' circuit in the Kick there will be a constant draw on the battery. Certainly not much, but an unswitched circuit nonetheless, regardless whether the main switch in the device is closed. The reason it doesn't bother me at all is that I vape a lot, so it simply won't sit for a matter of a couple of days without getting a fresh battery anyway because whenever I vape I'm putting a way bigger draw on the battery than that little 'check' circuit anyway.

Good Morning everyone Hope there's not too many sore heads at the con this morning

Well, if the room was open until 4:00 am, there are probably some heads at the 'con that won't see morning.
