OK... now I'm getting frustrated..

[okeephoss]

I've watched countless videos on how to set up my Genesis atomizer. Oxidize the stainless steel wick, wrap a coil, no hotspots. put juice in it and no matter what a get that burned taste. I have a mechanical mod. It seems no matter what I do the vapor is terrible. Going back to my carto tank that I know works.

are you tilting it up when you vape?

Many times simpler is better.

Try a Pro Tank. Real simple to use with stellar results.

Great investment and the replacement heads are real cheap and rebuildable if you desire to do so.

Vape On!

yep... does the kanthal need to be tight against the wick?

If you could post pictures of your setup, maybe someone will have a thought.

you dont want the wire too tight to where it could choke off the wick. also what kind of mesh and how tightly wrapped is it?

What is your coil resistance?

Actually, you can do it real tight or just fairly so,

I just did a micro coil on a RSST with 0 hotspot yesterday with a VERY tight coil.

the trick with tight ones is to use a center pin / paperclip, or, like I used, a syringe needle. I rolled the mesh directly on it very very tight, put it vertical and started wrapping my kanthal 28 (32 would be a lot harder), each wrap perfectly in contact with the previous one

trick here is to the needle vertical the whole time, SPECIALLY on the last wrap when you reach the positive post, you dont want to pull into it or far away from it, just leave it vertical, any tension and extra looseness will result in hotspots, then I removed my needle and all was nice and peachy
