In the video above, he uses a burner for the mesh, but only a lighter for the wire.
not sure how a hi or low res genny compares to the same in cartos, as i always was partial to lower resistances, but one thing i can tell you imo is that i have tried both hi & low in genesis rebuildables and what i have found is that a higher resistance coil to me tastes much more harsh,maybe it has to do with more voltage to the coil. most out there go for higher resistances though, so just this weekend i said lets try one of those hi res coils. set-up 2 different configurations, one was my normal 28g wire, 1.1 ohms @ 3.7 volts, the other was a 2.0 ohm coil of 32g wire @ 5v. both set-up equal about the same watts although the lower resistant coil pushes alot more amps and does drain the batterys a little faster. to me it wasnt even close, for one the 28g wire produces way better flavor. throat hit has to go to the higher resistant coil. vapor production is equal, but here is the big thing for me, the lower resistant coil produces a much more thicker vapor, its hard to explain this, but the color of the vapor is whiter in the low res set-up. not sure what this means but i have heard the phrase big white clouds of vapor, well its true in the low set-up. its like its more fuffilling(is that a word?) anyways thats why these things are so cool, they can be set-up so many different ways. i personaaly love trying different set-ups(at least i did) but know i know what i like personaaly. every one who you speak to has a different opinion in regards to the high or low resistances, wire, volts, watts, wicks. it comes down to what you prefer, all i can give you is an opinion(and you know what they say about that) you are probably a somewhat mechanical,curious and patient person if you are getting into rebuildables, thus you will eventually find a set-up that is for you. you will not need wire cutters for the mesh is soft, a scissors is sufficient. oxidation of the wick is another issue, some oxidize some do not, personally i do and a bic lighter doesnt do it, you need a chiefs torch, its kind of small, you dont need one of those big bunson burner things that a plumber has, they are to big, but same principal. also most use a multi-meter to measure resistances, i personally do not. i know how long my wire needs to be for my wraps for a certain resistance, and my provari tells me the exact resistances. some get into finding out how resistances are lost through vaping and efficiency, so a multi meter can tell you alot about this. you will need a syringe to fill up your genesis device, because the fill holes are to small for a regular juice bottle end. some of those pointy tips work, but you still need to be able to get your juice out. ntt syringe co. has beautiful glass syringes for about 10 dollars each, a 2ml and 5 ml work good. you can use the plastic ones, but are a pain, glass is so smooth to operate. a 3in, 16gauge blunt tip needle or 18g needle is the best. avid vapors sells them, couple of dollars each. but the main thing you need is patience, but after a month youll be reaping the benefits. good luck

yes, like rule62 had said, you definately would need to up your volts on your mod if you had a 2.0 ohm coil. if you set -up a genesis atty at 2.0 and 3.7 volts you might not get sufficient vapor. at 2 ohms you would be satisfied at around 4.7volts. but comparing a genny to a cart is definately comparing apples to oranges, but 2 ohms is a good place to start. for me, the first time i tried 28g wire there was no going back, the taste just blew me away compared to the 32 wire i was using. at that point i would do anything to use this wire, meaning i needed to lower my coil resistance. that is one of the biggest reasons why i go with a lower resistant coil. you see with a SS wick there is only so much room to wrap a coil, about 3/8 in. so if you are using thin wire(32g) you would want to use most of that space on the wick for your wraps. using most of that space with 32 is going to give you a high resistance, unless you just make like 2 wraps of 32, which just isnt enough wire on the wick, so 32g is going to be a high resistant coil. 30g wire can give you lower resistances, and 28 gives you low resisatnces, although i have heard of people making like 8 wraps of 28g on a wick, i dont know how they do this, but i guess you can. i make about 5 wraps of 28g , and this seems to take up the whole area. i suppose if you spent alot of time and got all the coils almost touching it can be done, but 28g is really for a low res set-up. anyways if you want around a 2 ohm coil and up, i would go with 32g wire. if you want a resistance between 0.08 to 1.4 ish, 28g. and in between the low and high, 30g wire. these are just my feelings on the wires, there are certantly people using successful coils with different parameters entirely, its just how it feels to you. but these are some initial guidlines. vaping a certain ohmed coil with a specific wire still leaves an undetermend voltages, this is going to be up to you. i think in general 10 to 12 watts is average. example/ a 1.0 ohmed coil @ 3.4 volts is 11.56 watts, to figure this, you square the volts, 3.4x 3.4, then divide by the resistance, which is 1.0. ggod luck
