NEED ADVICE, crude idea for genisis type atty

[Bnormous]

So to give you a little back story on this post.
I originally saw 1getcha69's review of the genisis line/maxi and was IN LOVE....with the concept

not in love with the fact that genisis's are harder to come by than big foot
and really not in love with the prices for the odysseus or the zenisis

so i lurk and lurk the atomizer mod section on ECF and i come across two threads that catch my eye

dont remember the posts link or name, but one was of a man who took a bunch of washers and sanded them down, added a little solder and some tubing to make a genisis style atty that was pretty legit, but that's too much work/money for my broke 21 year old self

then i came across a guy who made one from a 10ml bottle and an old ce2 and some wires, again looks like some hassle



now lets fast forward to yesterday when i got my vision stone v3 tank in the mail. started vaping it and realized why dont i combine these two ideas and apply them to this tank. i think it would work if i drilled two holes in the top cap, ran some posts down to the bottom where i solder the posts to the base(for the electrical connection). but thats about as far as i got to before asking what next?

basically i have this crude idea in my head on how to build this atty but i dont know how to or what problems i may want to try and avoid.

VISION Stone 3 - Tank Mod : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more here is the stone tank to see what im talking about

REVIEW OF THE GENESIS MAXI REPAIRABLE ATOMISER - YouTube and here is the video of the genisis (in case you dont know what im talking about)

any help would be great.

Well your nearly there, the issue then is how will you seal the top area with the coil? That's why most genesis atomizers look like they have 2 tanks, the top one is really just to seal up the top coil area. I'd recommend making a genesis line copy, using the f1 or ego-w cartomizers. Gotvapes has something like them, the new phoenix would be easy to turn into a genesis because of the screw on pen cap.

YES that is the problem i was running into. how do i make a top cap for this idea. but i like the idea of using the stone tank because the base is the conductor for the connection so itd make it easy to just solder on two posts and call it done.

 

[Bnormous]

to anyone reading this. anyone got ideas for mouthpiece to fit onto the top cap. id like it to be easy to put on and take off obviously. and a simple build.

Read your post earlier and have been thinking about it.

Vision also produce the Ego Vision or Stardust. Was watching a vid on this board about re wicking that device and wondered about just exchanging the fiber for mesh. May have to widen the slots the wick slides down into position by filing.

Now I haven't actually seen the Vision Tank but don't think it is that different to the Stardust.

If you search youtube there is a vid for the Wildfire rebuildable tank atty. Think igetcha will be reviewing it soon. Anyway think of the fiber wick looping both sides of the central post nearly touching the bottom and replace that with mesh.

Think it would work but need to get the kanthal and mesh. Oh and a Vision as well lol

I don't think you'll be able to create a "standard" genesis atomizer out of that unfortunately...

HOWEVER, I don't see why you couldn't set up a bottom coil genesis "tank" system style atomizer. The wick is mounted at the base and the top of the wick goes into the juice tank.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Going to have to get the kanthal and mesh anyway as I have a Line coming at some point in the nearish future.

Once I have them I will have a play and see.

the stardust is narrow at the top. which is why im choosing the stone tank. or maybe the new vivi nova that dropped yesterday. also the base caps are metal for a conductor and they're fairley wide. im thinking i could replace the center post of the ce2 with the mesh and put the positive and negative terminals on either side which brings me to another question. how do i make each terminal positive and negative? or does that not even matter?

and sumoman25 are you talking about making a bulli type set up?

OK... I have a stardust currently running in genesis config with 34gauge nicrome at 2.4 ohm. Working great with no other mods. YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN OHM METER AND A TORCH OF SOME KIND! I torched and dunked in TAP water 4 times then loaded the wick with juice and burned it of 4 times. OXIDIZE WELL and TEST with ohm meter! You have been warned!

That being said it works well.

 

[Bnormous]

can i get a tutorial of some kind or a better picture

I have seen lighters like these for as little as $3 at walmart:

Once it is together, test the resistance! Very important!

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Hmmm may speed up my kanthal and mesh plans

Looks awesome. Thought it would work.

How long do Stardusts last for I wonder.

[Bnormous]

yeah thats the tutorial i was talking about in the description. im confused on alot of the steps and where to get the tubing

 

[Bnormous]

BASICALLY. i have a good idea on how to make the terminals and the wicking areas of the tank. i need advice on a top cap. i was thinking of using an o-ring type system. idk what do you guys think?
