No shorting issues if you take it out?

The insulator in the wick hole can be removed without much of a problem on the ZAP's, it allows you to use a slightly larger wick if you wish to. The problem is that IF they are speaking of the insulator between the atomizer base and the center post then WILL be a problem because that insulator must be there in order for the device to work. the Center post must be insulated in all genesis devices in order for the entire thing to operate. If not then it is a dead short I believe is what it is called because if the positive post contacts the body which is what the negative wire is attacked to then there is no solid circuit being made.

Hope that makes sense;
Sincerely;
Nate aka Darth Vapor

This is what a Properly built coil and wick should look like. Take special note of the white insulator at the base of the center post, (Center right of the bottom lit coil), if that is the piece that is being melted then that creates a problem. If it is the insulator around the hole the wick goes in that is no big deal with a properly Oxidized wick as you can see because my Mini did which is what this atty is does not have any insulation between the wick and the hole it goes in.





Hope this helps :D

The zenesis is the only genesis device I know of that has a wick insulator, its made of PTFE *Teflon* I will not use a teflon inuslator because at higher temps teflon CAN become toxic and cause sickness, its usually after temps exceed 200°C and the coils dont get that hot, but why take the chance! Plus I think it wicks better w/o it

Not worried for insulator but that plastic thing inside the positive post and where the retractable connector is popping out. I have full strength on the way and would be nice if someone can confirm its not that wat is melting. Spare parts are hard to get over here.

I do not own any Zen atty's but I cannot imagine pluid is melting it. I would think it would do the same to my DID's and I have three of those and a Cobra that I have been running pluid through for over a month and a half now and there is no signs of damage from it. I did completely kill a Chinese Knockoff though because my bottom coil was too close to the insulator and overheated it to the melting point. :( Sucked too because that knockoff mini DID was a vape machine almost as good as my real one.

Hopefully someone with a Zen will come by and verify this :(
Sincerely;
Nate

waited a week and 2 days to get mine and to boot the box looked like someone attempted to rip it open.
Was stuck in Brooklyn for 4 days. Antying with tracking?
Still waiting on my order of pluid from 310 vapors from last week... :\ anyone else have issues with shipping?

I really think 310 should have done priority mail
would have cost them 4.95 a package and I am sure most everyone that ordered would have opted for it.
and they would not have had to buy those padded envelopes they sent the bottles in
both me and a buddy ordered the same day.
He ordered for me cause he does not really like it but I told him I wanted to try both.
his got here a day before mine and tracking was all messed up online.

I dont even remember what it charged for shipping because I never got a invoice by email

Don't get me wrong, it's not melting like the wicked witch of the west. It has softened a touch and begun to leak down the center post.
And yes I'm talking about the center post insulator. I find pluid on my 510 connection. Same goes for my positive contact of my iHybrid. When I take my battery out I find a little pluid on it.

I would have paid 2 bucks more for priority mail no problem
I am in california so was not as big a deal for me but clearly for people farther its an issue

First Class and Priority Mail are handled the same way and in most cases arrive at the same time. Be happy you saved $2.
