This is actually sounding like the ick is clogged up and in need of a cleaning.

Fire the katana till the coil and wick are glowing red hot then while it's still hot run it under cold water. Dry and repeat a couple of times.

Then tilt it and fire till the juice starts feeding. Put the cap on and start vaping. It should be 100% better after this.

lord,
with this method, I can never get the wick to glow. Is that bad? I normally do it with juice in there.

ob I do lords suggestion every time i run the tank dry before i refill with new juice. It makes a difference in the long run. I just empty my tank, (what little there is) and then dry burn and run it under cold water a few times.

Exactly, it just keeps it fresh, clean and tasting good. Even though it looks and sounds like abuse to the coil, I find that they last much longer and taste great right till when the coil pops when doing this.

I just got some 30ga kanthal and tried it on a new toy ;)

WHOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!!!! THIS THING KICKS!!!!!

I should have done this a while ago, lol. 4 wraps of 30ga is about 1.0 ohm and I gotta tell ya, this is what Genisis is all about! What a BEAST!! This setup has 2, yes I said 2, 1/16" holes for air, it keeps things cool under the cap and what comes out is mountains of cool-warm to warm vapor with a smooth and mellow but strong TH and good to very good flavor. Utterly enjoyable and you can take just a handful of puffs and then put the APV down for a while (assuming the buzz does not knok you out). This will definitely require a lowering of nic content, at 24 mg/ml this setup will send me to the hospital for sure ;)

I bet I know what new toy you got with the two air holes . How long does the 14500 battery last with a 1.0 ohm coil?

Not sure yet, it has been going strong for about 20 minutes of use, my head is spinning pretty good right now though so I don't dare push it to test battery life yet ;). I should have mixed the juice down to like 8mg for this one!!

Sounds like an awesome trick. I am going to give.it a go.

a couple of things. First where the bottom screw is attached to the coil, are you angling it up at a angle so that it is coming off the base?
.

I'm not sure what you mean here. I tried and nailed the cigarette paper trick though
