Need help I narrowed it down to 3 genesis attys

[ALPHA Q]

Im looking into buying my first genesis atty for my provari mini but cant decide which one to purchase. All 3 are about the same price Need your opinion on which one to buy. Please list pros n cons for each one below if you have tried them before

Zen-Pro
AC9
Cobra

It kind of depends on what you want to do wick wise with it. I personally like the z atty I have 8 of them and to me they are easy to set up IMO, they are built well, and parts (tanks, o rings, top caps) are pretty available for the most part. Now if you want to use a U wick the cobra is what your gonna want. Since this is your first genesis I would say z atty its the easiest to set up since it comes with pre rolled wicks (you can learn u wicks and dual coils after the basic wick and wire). Also it's gonna take a while to get it down perfect for your tastes but just stick with it when it gets really annoying.

I own a ZAP and love it. Unfortunately I do find myself dripping a lot more lately, so it doesnt get all that much use. Be advised, Its a heavy beast. I do curls with my Provari/ZAP just to get a good work out.

 

[Hello World]

The ZAP is most definitely the toy to get your feet wet and extremely well-built. I have one.

The AGA-T2 I'd recommend for the more budget conscious vaper. I have 4 of them. There is a learning curve, but when all is said and done it vapes every bit as good as the ZAP.

I'd recommend both.

I use a modded Smok Tank. One of the cheapest ways to get a Genisis-style setup.

with the money you can get the aga t2 and a mech mod for $70. just saying

I'll probably go with the zap because it's made for the provari. The only con that I could think of is that the top cap pops off too easily. The only fix I found is to purchase the tighter draw cap which came out to be $28 shipped.

to jamesphan and jimmyhat
the ZEN is actually my first option but theres 2 things that concerns me about the ZEN-Pro (things ive read and watched on reviews)
1: the top cap comes off easily like what jamesphan mention on this thread
*is there an option of buying a thicker o-ring so its tighter instead of a new cap
2: this is a video i saw on youtube and he mentions that the ZEN kinda wiggles once attached to the provari at 7:13

Well the top caps are weird sometimes they want to come off with a slight breeze and sometimes they are almost stuck on. The reason they can fall off so easily is that juice from the wick saturates the top cap and o ring that is used to attach the top cap. To fix this all you have to do is get some vodka and clean the top cap and o ring and the problem will be fixed untill everything gets saturated again which can be a couple minutes to a few hours of use, it really depends on if your flooding the wick or not. If you are foir the most part careful and don't put it into your pocket you will not really have issues with the top cap falling off. I have never had the zen wiggle once attached to the provari but there are always variations and I'm sure there are some zaps' that may wiggle I just have never had that issue

 

[JamesPhan]

I don't know where to get a thicker o-ring but if you can find one it'll work too. The tighter draw cap has a smaller air hole then the original cap. Reason why I bought one because I thought I lost my cap but it turns out it popped off and fell in my friends car. I was drunk at the time so I didn't know it popped off . The tighter draw cap is a really tight fit and it will push the o-ring down. You'll have to perfectly align the cap with the o-ring and lube the rings with juice so that you can fit it in easily.

I recommend the Cobra or the Nimbus.

Jimmy ive seen threads where people mentiion that you have to take the zen apart to clean it ( taking apart the center post to get into the spring and the end connector). They said if it doesnt get cleaned that it tends to get gunk build up from juices. Recommending to clean it every 2 wks. Have you tried tried cleaning it out.

P.s just lost a battle trying to buy the M1 Juggernaut on 310 vapers tonight

 

[Jimmyhat]

Yeah that's a sore subject especially since the first release was a ridiculous raffle. I lost that battle too I had it in my cart and hit the check out button in 23 seconds after release (I timed it) and got that error message and after the 6th try at check out it was sold out , I hate 310 with a passion every sale is a cluster you know what and all they seem to care about is having the sweetest mods to sell. That being said. I have heard some stuff about this and I have only done it to one and that was a used z atty u that was all messed up when I got it. I'm sure after a while it will gunk up but it will take a lot longer than 2 weeks i'd say if you really wanted maybe every month or two unless if you are constantly flooding it out. To clean it isn't really an issue though, it's pretty straight forward you just pull out the post, unscrew the metal top then the stud and clean it all out then reinsert it with some silicon around where the plastic center meets the metal to keep it from leaking into your mod.

I would suggest giving another look at the aga-t+, I know a lot of people who have the ZAP but say the aga-t works better. I also know a lot of people who try a genny and then decide they don't like them. At least with the aga-t+ it will give you one you can learn on see if you like them, then try for one of the high dollar ones if you want to. The aga-t is also easier to get.

I am not saying the others are not good and or worth the money, but I really do think someone should start off with a cheaper one just to see if it will be their vape.

 

[Jimmyhat]

^^ couldn't agree more with this if this is your first try on gennies, I push the zen only cause its well made and for me it works better than the aga-t. This however does not mean that the aga-t is a bad product, it's a great rba for the price
