New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

Let me clarify the word clockwise in my original post under the section THE vaping CHAMBER.

“Be aware that as the wire is wrapped around the post in a clockwise fashion (the better practice), when tightened, it will pull the wick closer to the nuts. Clockwise wrapped wire, when tightened, will be pulled inward towards the center post, instead of being pushed away.”

It may not have been very clear that both sentences were addressing the wire to either the ground or center post nuts, not the coil or wick.

“will be pulled inward towards the center post, instead of being pushed away.”

The effect of pulling inward vs. pushing away could be better illustrated if one is using a stranded wire vs. solid wire on a light switch's screw-on connector. Picture Here.

In this case, for the coil, it makes no difference whether the wire is going to and out of the wick clockwise or counter-clockwise. There will always be one entry or one exit that is in-between the ground nut and the center post, either the coil is wrapped clockwise or counter-clockwise. For example, starting from the ground nut, clockwise wrapping will put the wire between the ground nut and center post first, then come out from outside, at the top, to the center post, and vise versa, if it is wrapped counter-clockwise. In fact, every turn of the coil is in between the wick and center post.

“Clockwise wrapped wire, when tightened” not only will pull the wick toward the center post, (danger of shorting to the center post) it will also cut into the wick’s oxidized layer and shorting it to the wick, from the wick’s rebound tension. The perfect example is from sweeperdk’s first attempt photo.

Leave some room for the wire, before you tighten it or secure the wire while you are tightening it.

Since the original post was long already, I might have left out reasoning behind some of the important principles.

I will be the first one to admit that my English is worse than Jim’s.

“For example, starting from the ground nut, clockwise wrapping will put the wire between the ground nut and center post first, then come out from outside, at the top, to the center post, and vise versa, if it is wrapped counter-clockwise.”

This is a bad example. Even though it is easier to illustrate the point of in and out, the “and vise versa” did not stand out. I should have worded it the other way around.

Instead of spending another 5 pages on the reasons, this is what I would wrap.

Wrap the ground nut and the center post clockwise (screw tightens clockwise) and wrap the wick counterclockwise (by now, you all know why). Yes, there are a lot of good reasons.

Phew, now I can sleep better.

Jim,

if you could only make some good Greek Baklava e-liquid and add to your website for us to go in our DID's for an after dinner treat we could have a cup of coffee and vape Baklava

 

[Jim Damianidis]

Thank you!

Hell, I'm happy to be of service. It's the least I can do to give back to Jim for putting in the hard work that he has towards making the DID such a well performing and easily accessible atomizer. He's done something revolutionary for the vaping community, making a top shelf rebuildable genesis atomizer that anyone can get ahold of without kissing the maker's ... or waiting indefinitely on a list, but by broadening the spectrum to include people whose vaping experience has been isolated to 510 atomizers and cartos, I think some level of accountability falls onto the shoulders of the experienced genesis users to help guide and inform the beginners, especially if we all want Jim to continue producing the DID's as quickly and precisely as he is.

Well... I am (ugh ! ) back reading and checking this out...I think I'd like one !

 

[Jim Damianidis]

A good day to all of you!

I am trying to keep the quality you all mentioned and make it better
I have to say that in August my website will have!
DID satin and polish with SS positive pole and nuts (The brass positive pole and nuts will be as a spear in my site)
The screws will be SS and knurled (no alen key needed)

miniDID satin and polish
Gemini satin and polish

and a good day to you, Jim

Personally this guys vid is wrong for the did. If you really want to see, roll your coil on drill bit slightly larger than wick hole. Put coil on smaller drill bit, Stick drill bit in wick hole and attach coil. Remove drill bit, and wah lah, you should see a perfectly built coil, which will dry burn a perfect glowing coil. Insert wick, if you get hot spots, it is do to an improper wick, not problems with basic DID construction. I swear, if you do it this way with a properly prepared wick, it works great. The other plus to this method, is you can remove wick, dry burn gunk off coil, flame up wick to clean, and all is again golden. You need the bottom nut tightly locked down to avoid fluid down center problems. Just my opinion.

+1 ricklynchcore that's how I have always done mine either using a Drill Bit or a the exact size nail, its the best way to do it in my opinion, and always dry burn before adding juice to get the wire glowing perfect first.

I use a screw to wrap my coil around. Perfectly spaced coil each time.

Now just to get the wick right and I'll be a happy camper.

Thanks for the heads up Jim, lots of new things and I want them ALL!!!!

A good day to all of you!

Yes! It's very good news Jim.

 

[BigBopper]

Not trying to be smart or anything but,if you intentionally wrap it away from the nut or just adjust it above it there is no issue.There is no reason for Jim to change anything just those folks having issues just need to adjust how they do things.

I had to chuckle as this reminded me of Steve Job's response to the whole iphone 4 antenna issue, "...don't hold it that way"

Order ID: #1138
I used his TNT shipping method. I'll let you know how it goes.
If this works as well as claimed, I'll have a Bulli A2 or two for sale

To follow up on this.
Order was placed on the 6th,
Processed on the 12th,
Shipped on the 18th,
Delivered on the 20th.

So overall it was 2 weeks, similar to what others have reported using the standard shipping. However, most of their time was spent in customs, not on getting the order shipped, where my order only took 2 days shipping. Others have also reported similar transit times using the TNT shipping option. In my opinion it is work the additional 12 euros, especially if you want to diminish your wait time.

I'm still having issues with my wick, so the Bullis aren't for sale yet
I also had a burr on my air hole, but since I noticed that before assembly it didn't cause an issue for me. I would also like to mention that the threads for the top cap of my DID are not as "buttery smooth" as others have claimed. There is a couple of definite rough spots. They seem to be smoothing out as I work the threads, but still noticeable enough that I don't think they will completely disappear.
I'm not complaining about these issues, just noting them.

Jim, will these be offered as separate accessories so I can upgrade my current DIDs? If so, count me in for 3 upgrade sets!

A good day to all of you!

Thanks Jim for the upgrade, but can we buy SS positive pole and nuts separately?

 

[Uma]

[Jim Damianidis]

Double post sorry!!

 

[Jim Damianidis]

Yes bravehart I will have them in my site

[Jim Damianidis]

UMA you are an excellent example for anyone who has millions of problems at his start in this world of mesh!

Jim, is there any chance of re-doing your video so we all have a place to learn the correct way of preparing the DID. I imagine after these more than 2900 posts we all learned some new things and just want your idea of the best way to do it. I did watch your video a few weeks ago and it got me going but I learned allot more from this forum but I am always hearing 2 or 3 different ways of doing things. I would like to hear your thoughts. Some of my my concerns/questions would be...

type of mesh 325/375/400
Should it be cut the mesh diagional
type of wire? Kanthal D A A-a 28 or 32 etc...
how to wrap the coil
do you use a drill bit or not
burning the mesh correctly
keeping the screw on the airhole or not
should I drill a hole in the top 1/16 or not

I would love to hear from you or maybe we could do a survey on the forum on how most people do this.

thanks for all your great work on the DID and your customer service

Mike N
