I'm still pretty new to vaping, 2 months since my last smoke.... I've not any kind of expert on the lingo, so I'm totally dumbing this down. I've been through SEVERAL ecigs. Started with generic iclear starter that sucked, being determined I ventured onto the internet.. found my baby, my tumbler. I've used it with no problems aside from learning how to use it. My bf, however has fallen in love with mechanical mods. Until yesterday when my beloved tumbler, took a tumble off the fireplace and broke, I was a perfectly happy camper. Long story short he's determined to get me vaping with a mechanical mod. He ordered me something... the case says "hybrid mod elite" on the other side it says "Vaportech" I've watched video after video. My main question is, which hole does the wick go in??? There's a "big" hole next to the screw, and on the other side is a smaller hole, with an even smaller hole next to it (obviously not where the wick goes) I'm assuming the wick goes in the smaller hole, because i don't see how the juice goes in otherwise... please help!
hybrid mod... something???? please help!!

Oh, and if you gotta build the coil, please do a research here on how to build and the safety you have to check first before you jump in building one. You wouldn't want the battery that cannot handle the coil you build or a short coil.
I didn't realize I was on my bf's profile... I think I have the coil down. Just confused about the hole. Meh... trying to prove a point ultimately. So put it in the small hole, wrap the wire around the coil, connect it to the screw. i have an OHM tester thing, what should I be shooting for?
na. wick goes in the big hole. and it depends on what kind of battery you have. buy about 1.0 ohm is a good starting point.
ss mesh as a wick is tricky to get down at first. do you have hot spots? what are your ohms reading?
ok. well if you have any problems let us know. and we will do our best to help you get through it.
Have fun take your time and make sure to oxidize your wick...goes a long way in the build process!
Yeah the rainbow Elite Hybrid is a cheap mod, that has some easy fixes for the switch. Go to the Elite Hybrid thread to see what every one has done. Also, a genesis atty is one of the most difficult builds to master. If you have a loose loop, or loops are to close and not evenly spaced, you are going to get a hot spot, and the vape is going to be nasty. Also this not a good go to mod. can be lain down flat because it will leak through the SS mesh wick. You'd be better off with a regulated voltage mod or a inexpensive mech mod with a kick and a good atomizer. Even a clone rba with a micro coil would be way easier to master than SS mesh genesis.
You can do a micro coil up there and use either a few strands of SS cable or SS mesh with a cotton core to wick the juice to the coil, and have less trouble. The rainbow is for someone who likes to fiddle with things and loves to get frustrated a lot, before it is device that works well. But there are some tips and tricks to get it running well. And once you master a genesis, you will have great tasting vape, but till then, it's just a form of mass frustration.
Good luck, poor choice for an advanced vaper or beginner. But it can vape, just have to be stubborn.

bf has a reos, and is being the "lady" I am, I'm more about esthetics at this point. I don't want a block in my hand. Put my fav juice in it, it's not horrible :/... better than the left overs set up I've been using the last 2 days. I'm a little proud of myself! It's 4am, I'm drunk and am having a better vape than I've had the last 2 days 
LOL We'll see what I think in the morning! Thanks for all your help!!!

Be vary careful if you have no way to test it before you use it! I would recommend getting a tester before starting any RBA, especially a genesis. That is a lot of heat and power you are putting up to your face. Best not to take chances.

I'm also a lady, and my REO is the sexiest mod in my collection, and it performs awesome with the best taste of them all.
I would also caution against using a coil that you do not know the resistance of. That's an accident waiting to happen. Anyone tell you otherwise is being wreckless with YOUR life.

IMO a hybrid is for an ADVANCED USER ONLY! In the hands of a novice they would be flat out dangerous. A person needs to know all about battery safety, and have building coils down to a science before venturing into the realm of hybrids.
The problem with a true hybrid is you can't take the head off to test the resistance like you can with most mechanicals. (first reason why I don't like them) Also you can't remove the genesis atomizer and use something else. (second reason why I don't like them)

I've built coils before, and have an understanding of them. I tested it today and it was 1.5.. tasted great fired great. Built another one this evening for bf's and it was crap. Rebuilt mine just to play and it was no where near as good. OHM's were fine, but it taste's burnt, not horrible, just off. Guess I do my best work drunk at 4am. So far I like this mod. It's my first mechanical. I know there's better ones, but I'm not ready to invest a big chunk until I have it down. I tried dripping (that's where I learned about building coils) and didn't love it. Obviously need to practice, but I really like the look and idea of this. Thanks again for everyone's help ps I was posting under rhyknow last night
