Leaking of the Genesis LV rebuildable atomizer

[Ace of Spades]

Hey guys,

I have a friend who has an Genesis LV back a few months ago. It was working quite great until last few weeks, the Genesis LV always leaks out. My friend does not know the cause of this leak. Every time he puts the Gen LV in his bag, after a few minutes when he takes the Gen Lv out to vape there droplets of juices seen on the outside of the Gen LV.. might there be any broken parts that need to be replaced or style of wicking is wrong or pressure build up etc.? It is always a waste as the juices keep leaking and he does not get to vape on it much.... Soo sorry for this noob question, I can answer it myself as I havent gone into the world of rbas and still sticking on cartos and vivi nova. And last but not least thanks for helping out!

Hi!
Many people complain that the gene leaks, even in a horizontal position. It looks like it's design features.

Not sure if you are still watching this thread... two things come to mind:

One of my wicks was too small in diameter and I noticed leaking down into the bottom chamber.

Second, the plastic insert gave out and eventually started to leak into the bottom chamber. Electra Pipes offers a new (version 3) middle section as an upgrade for a Genesis LV/LV2. It is fairly inexpensive and I like it better than the original insert (which I believe used a modified bottle cap).

Personally, I like the v2 with the new insert and an additional o-ring so you can adjust the air hole but keep it screwed tight. I have a v3 but prefer the v2 setup as described.

Still my favorite Genesis atomizer and I use it on my eVic.
