my favorite menthol is fire and ice from smokecignals.com....a bit of cinnamon in it though so you have to be mindful of your tanks....i've been using a lot of their juice though as they have recently opened a B+M in my area....as far as juices i'm an RY/citrus kind of guy...ikenvape makes my favorite RY4 right now (as well as the only cartomizers i use) and i like lemonades and stuff of that sort...all time favorite juice is brawndo from dfwvapor....tastes like lemon/lime gatorade.

Not quite...its a mix of mints...hard to explain off hand...you clearly get cinnamon though
....and for those of you guys wanting to see....
as you can see the red is very intense and glaring, where the blue doesn't have as much forward contrast and is almost legible on the camera lens
It would probably survive...not sure about the chipper though
You haven't seen the ignorant creations I make! I'd hold off on that call for now!
i have definitely decided that i like the painted finish over the satin as well...the satin stainless finish gets slick after holding it for a bit...where as the black painted finish is textured and i've never felt as if i were going to lose grip on it....other than that i'm pushing the AGA with the mini right now getting right about ~14.5 watts on a 7 wrap 1.1 ohm coil...performing like a champ.
they aren't all that confusing once you've built a coil or two....you get preferences on wires and wick material etc.
as far as flavor goes...it's quite amazing, i like vaping the donut juice hot because, well, it's like vaping a hot glaze donut.
as far as usefulness....the genesis style rebuildables i have stay at home. all genesis attys will leak if left on their side, but my GG penelope travels well, and i bring it to work without worries of leaking...and have more than once stated (and still hold the opinion) that is nearly a perfect juice delivery system, but comes with a cost to back up that opinion....i also don't recommend them to anyone starting out, as they have a steep early on learning curve, however, once you have made a few coils it becomes incredibly easy and even more cost effective
I use my mini for testing out my Penelope's and Ody's. I like my rebuildable to work on a mechanical mod. The provari has been priceless in this regard because sometimes I just don't have it in me to build another after a screw up and my mechanical will struggle to fire it ...
In comes the provari to the rescue. As it will fire almost anything up.
I'd go as far to say that if you have the cash it's a must have for new users learning to build their own RBAs. The mini is just adorable.
And tough. It's only when you hold it in your hands do you feel how tough they are. Pictures don't do it any justice on Provape.

i've always held the statement that the vivi nova is a nice intro into RBAs, but if you want to skip the nova (as i don't find it performs well enough most of the time anyways) then the COV gen-1 over at clouds of vapor is only 12 dollars, however, clouds of vapor also sells the same genesis i've been using, the AGA-T, for 30 dollars, and is solid stainless vs stainless plated brass on the COV gen-1....all you need other than the atomizer is some wick material and some wire.
if you are going with a genesis style atty, mesh wicks are the way to go, they sell mesh on COV website, but you can find a better deal on ebay for larger quantities, though it doesn't matter too much early on as the wicks are very durable and can last long periods of time, so it's probably better if you grabbed a few of the pre-cut sheets from them as well. you'll want the #400 mesh, as it's the best all-around mesh
next up is wire....for wire you want KANTHAL. some people will say nichrome works fine as well...i find the nichrome too brittle and that it gives a funky metallic taste...preferably you want a wire gauged somewhere between 28-32...when dealing with wire, the LOWER the wire guage, the LOWER the resistance you will get...32 guage is the most recommended as it has the most flexibility and is widely considered the easiest to work with for it's flexibility, however i've grown to like ultra low resistance stuff that i make with 28 gauge, as the wire is thicker and more durable...you can pick up both 28 and 32 gauge kanthal over at mountain oak vapors and try a few coils out that way to see which one works best for you.
the only thing you will need other than these things is a torch that produces a blue flame so that you can oxidize your wicks....a quick trip to lowes/home depot/harbor freight can solve this problem for you for less than 10 dollars...check the plumbers section for a butane soldering torch, preferably one that can stand itself up so you don't have to juggle so many things in your hands at once.
Edit: just keep in mind the Genesis attys are fairly substantial devices...here is a comparison to show you:
