Most comprehensive Genesis style rebuildable guide?

[Leonem]

So I got vapemail yesterday, 2 gennys (AGA-T2 and AGI) and some new juice (Extreme Ice and Black Rock from MBV). I made my first attempt at building from what I pieced together from searches and youtube and they turned out pretty bad. They looked nice but where weak and one tasted burnt. Is there a website or post that is like the encyclopedia of genny rebuilding? I have the basics but need to troubleshoot and tweak.

This is my only fear of buying one these. How easy were they to build in the first place?

Well I raided someone else's tools so I had an amazing selection of picks, mini screwdrivers, needlenose pliers, tweezers, and even some helping hands with magnifier. That made things super easy, which I guess holds true for all projects, if you dont have the right tools it makes things 10000% harder. The building and making it look good wasnt hard, and I enjoyed it. But, they dont work as they should, so none of that really matters. Just have another mod with a carto tank so you can vape something easy while you learn. Anyway I'll give it another shot tonight assuming I can find additional reading material.

I've got plenty of clearos to use while I screw up one but I want to see what all the craze is with Carto tanks.

Whoa TyEllen. Leonem is not talking about carto tanks but rebuildable atomizers which are totally different.

Hopefully you already have a strong foundation in battery safety, APV safety, and have a multimeter and know how to measure a coil's resistance.

I've written a blog that has links to the above topics for reference use. I have links to a couple of good videos on RBA's. E-Human has done a great blog on the AGA T2 which I have linked to, also.

I've found you don't really need a comprehensive guide, just some time and experience. If you are getting a burnt taste or if the vape is too hot, then you usually didn't make enough coils or didn't oxidize it enough. On all of my Genesis style devices, I use 32g Kanthal and I start with 5 to 6 wraps around the coil. Then I'll vape and unwrap as needed until I get to the right wrap. Works every time. This video from zen will take you through most of what you need to know.
