Patience and one mistake at a time will get you there. Do you have a link to the one you bought I went to their site but didn't find anything called 'DID GEN rba'?

Ooookaaay, guess I'll go with IffyBerry... although I'd prefer IffyBerries (no war injuries here)!

When I first made it I didn't know it was called Janets Heaven, I sent some to a friend and needed to put something on the bottle. What ever it's called it sure is good!

I won the thing in a giveaway and I've been looking for info on it--haven't found much that is exactly right.
Basically I'm working from some youtube videos.
I had one link to something close, if I can find it again, I'll post it.

Well I got my first RBA.

Now I got to get the courage to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-o

How is everyone in here?

I'm considering an RBA too, just not sure what tools I need.
I think coiled would be my choice, and a cheap one to make
sure I can handle it.

You will be fine lots of vids on youtube, its a lot of trial and error but you will get the hang of it. Once you get it right the vapor production is outstanding! Did you get mesh and wire? me I need some strong reading glasses and some black label to make the whole rebuilding process go smoothly! Good luck

I think once I get use to it, it won't be hard at all. It's just getting over the those first time jitters! 8-o

I got the mesh ready with using a paper clip. DH is going to do the burn thing for me.
Then it's putting it together and giving it a try.

Using mesh and wire...they both came with it.
I do have some wire here but I will eventually have to get some more mesh.
And I so have to use reading glasses too!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

oops! I indeed was the cause of confusion as to the correct name Janet's Heaven. Iffy send us a sample of Janet's Heaven and Janet was just starting her DIY endeavor. So in the beginning around the house I was referring to the original as "Iffy's juice" or "your juice" when asking Janet which bottle was which. So I kind of got used to calling it Iffy's juice (that and when I think of Janet's Heaven I think of something else :blush:)

Ummmm, this may be why we're the only couple posting on this thread! :blush: :blush:

Yes the burn thing, I don't know the details. What do you "burn" with? Can I use a lighter?

I went on a RBA kick I have since given them away too much work for me! I have little patience when I can just screw on a new T2 head for .99 cents.

Uh Huh, you sound like me. I'm definitely a KISS person. That's why I keep Mike around. He'll take anything apart to figure out how to make it better - he's pretty good at it too. We call him Inspector Gadget. I get to watch and he's pretty good at explaining. Part of the fun of vaping is that people can get as involved as they want, there's something for everybody.

Hmm… I know it's a loaded question, but how often do you have to rebuild?

You can use a ligther, but a small torch is easier and does a better job. I've gotten a month of heavy vapin' with the same coil / wick. Though I do dry burn/clean it every couple-few tanks.

Here's a good step-by-step of doing a geny setup.

And a video version of the same technique.

Lookie what I found jj, just in case you need one while you work through the learning curve. First time I've seen where you can actually buy one already made :)

Genesis Stainless Steel Mesh Wick

Happy Friday everyone!

At only buck a piece too. House of Hybrids used to sell pre-made wicks (rolled & oxidized). But HoH no longer does sells stuff, now other places carry his products. Here's another place to get pre-rolled only wicks, in either 325 or 400 SS mesh.

Normally I love to fiddle with stuff but for some reason the RBA's just ...... me off. I think it was because I followed directions and was still having to tweak it, never got it quite right. I was expecting some mind blowing taste and vapor, instead I got muted flavor, dry hits, and minimal vapor.
