My FrankenGenesis

Thought I'd try to make a Genesis style atty, it works great (to my amazement)...it's more of a proof of concept to myself than anything, there's some mats used that aren't the best choice for vaping on long term, I just thought before I spend a bunch of time building a proper unit, can I at least get the basics right such as draw, wicking, connections, etc...

 

You guys are killin' me...well, maybe a little deep sea diver would look cool or that shrunken submarine from Fantastic Voyage, but no fish!

 

Already have 2 in there

 

Whatever you do find (I used the clear Smok Mega dual coil cartomizer which just perfectly fit on the 10ml bottles I had)...make sure you can get an "O" ring in there...vaping draws the juice up the wick and what doesn't get cooked off pools in the bottom of the coil chamber...not sure it's a problem with mine or if it's just a Genesis thing...do what I do, got to a dollar store and buy one of every big novelty pen they have...even if none of them work for that particular design it may make you think of something else...worst case, you have a box of big novelty pens ...lots of good modding parts for projects down the road...

 

I use it all the time, it's a little fragile so it's on my PT at my computer desk but it's been a great learning experience...

I do have an air hole Willy, my second attempt, if you see the hot glue blob on one side, that's to seal the first hole I drilled, a 1/32" if I remember but the draw was way to airy, so I heated a sewing needle and melted it through...now it's a little tight which is maybe why I'm drawing juice up...I need to find that sweet spot I guess...I also rolled the wick around a piece of stripped, solid #22 wire so it's a tube...it wicks like crazy but maybe the "drinking straw" I've essentially made could also be part of my problem, but the wick on my V3 is a tube (which is maybe why it's so intense) I roll solid wicks for my GTUS but it's a top tank...one thing I will be doing will be what I did with my V3 (which I sealed up the center CE2 air intake and drilled the vape chamber for air) and that is to put in a piece of 14 gauge (or whatever gauge will work for this set up) syringe needle aimed right at the coil so that if you lay the unit on it's side, condensate and un-spent juice doesn't leak out.

I'm getting there in this world of Genesis's...couple more years, I should at least sound like I know what I'm talking about

 

Brilliant asdaq, a truly elegant solution...how did the Lockheed engineers solve the leaking fuel tanks caused by thermal expansion on the SR-71 Blackbird?...while on the ground, make sure it's in a dark hanger, sitting in a giant dripcup...as the fuel leaks out, just keep pumping back in...sometimes we just over think things...here's a couple pics of the slow improvement process...top down piece of 14 gauge syringe (a la Nicotime), slightly bent to get it away from the wall (I can now lay it down without it leaking (yay!), I also shortened the vape chamber and got rid of the Mega baby bottle tip...as you can see by the pics, the swimming pool fills even faster now...it makes a ton of flavour, decent TH but little vapor?, I also have to do my usual take a wrap off the coil, R climb as the coil/wick carbons up...it's getting better though
