Yesterday in another thread spraintz provided the folowing link:
Mesh/Cotton hybrid wick Bluegrasslover's method - YouTube
It shows you how to make a hybrid ss mesh/cotton wick. This hybrid wick makes setting up a genesis style atomizer in the traditional way of wrapping coils completely foolproof. No more hotspots to worry about and the taste is just like a well set up genesis IMO. The only problem is once you set it up...you are stuck. You can't clean the coils by dry burns. You can't change the cotton unless you redo the coil. You can't clean the wick unless you redo the coil.
The best way to setup a genesis style atomizer with ss mesh is by the Petar K method. Here is the link:

The great thing about this method is you get perfect coils using a drill bit. You size your wick to the coil. And once set up...you can easily remove the wick so you can do dry burns and you can clean the wick. But this is not a foolproof method.
BY combining both methods you can have the best of both worlds....the easiest setup with the ability to maintain your coils and wick.
SO make the perfect coil using the Petar K method. When you roll your wick....roll it to a point that it is just tiny bit too thin and falls through the coil. Now add little bit of cotton to the wick in the area where it is going to be in contact with the coil (see video in first link). Add some eliquid to cotton and slide the hybrid wick through the coil. This time the wick won't fall through because of the cotton. Vape away!!! I think you will agree that the vape is amazing.
PS Look at how Petar wraps his coils super tight and very compact....he does 7 wraps in about 3mm of space. I highly recommend this. The coil puts all the heat in a small area of the wick...you get a more intense, hotter and more flavorful vape. Also the coil becomes self cleaning.
