2.4 ohm coil at 4.7 volts producing clouds of flavorful vapor. This product has blown me away. Best vape I have had yet.
Damn, how did you get that many wraps in such a tight space?

Im not sure lol I counted wrong and ended up with 6 wraps. The vapor production im getting from this thing is unreal. Hopefully tonight I will have time to make a new coil and set up my reactor tank so I can try that setup out and vape 2 juices.
Okay, everyone needs to know that any and all traditional genesis style atomizers are not intended to be in any other position than standing straight up, unless vaping on them. They are not pocket friendly if you do not have them straight up and down. And they should not be laid down. Because of the wick having tiny holes in them and being that it does have an air-hole, on top of having a fill hole that is best left without a screw put in it while being used, There will always be juice leaking when not in the right position. I know that the inverted genesis tank system like the G-tank US, and the Cyclon V2 have the juice portion on top of the wick and coil, and those are pretty nice for not leaking, but some may have the tendency to do so. But the standard genesis style ones do not.
That being said, I have SEVERAL Genesis devices, most being the standard style, and 2 being the inverted. And I really do prefer the standard style over any other design of vaping devices. I do have other designed devices like the GG Ody, and regular carto tanks. But love my Genesis one.
When I first seen the Lavagen, and then had a chance to try one at Vaporcon 2, I was very impressed, and had to have one. I really do love the Lavatank, and then there was going to be a genesis drop in for it, YEAH!!!! I got mine the other day, and have been vaping it non-stop. I do not much like the ploy tank that comes with the drop in, I much rather have the fused quartz tube from Bedazzle, just because I do vape some juices that tend to crack tanks. Not that there is anything wrong with the poly tube, just my opinion.
I will be doing a full video review on the Lavagen this coming week, and hope you all enjoy it! But until then, I hope you all enjoy your Lavagen, and if you are trying to decide if you want to pick one up, DO IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! But remember that is just my opinion!!

Could you give us newbies your youtube channel name or link please? Thanks & looking forward to it!
Other than the wick, what else do I need to buy to use with the lavagen? Do I need to buy the little coil shown in the pictures, or does it come with the lavagen? Also, does anyone have a recommendation on a decent torch?
If you are just getting the drop in, you need wick, kanthal or nichrome wire, a lavatank and patience. If you have never used a genesis RBA before, I would suggest looking at Dino's video on how to set it up because it will get frustrating at first.
Heres a video:

Thanks for the information. So does the coil come with the lavagen or do you have to purchase it separately? Also where is a good place to purchase the wire?
Moon,
You have to purchase the wire. I prefer 32awg Kanthal, but there are many options.
Here are a couple places you can buy kanthal:
Kanthal A1 resistance wire 32 gauge-10' - $4.99 : Stormys Vapor Cellar, Electronic Cigarettes & More
Wick & Wire
Thanks AJ. I'm also looking at what kind of silica wick I need. I saw on the other place there's something about a modified silica wick. Do you have any advice? I'm not sure what size or what not that I need.
Mesh = wick
Wire = coils
That is the beauty of the genesis style atty's. All you need is wick (for the lavagen either SS mesh or Silica) and wire for the coils. Add some juice and your done. A 12x12 sheet of SS mesh should last you months.
I would go with 3mm silica. I have zero experience with silica. The hybrid wick you are referring to is silica sleeving over ss mesh, and I hear it works great, but I would stick with the basics to get started, and once you get the hang of it, you can branch out and experiment.
