Pulse Genesis clone

[Commie]

...from fasttech.

This thing is freakishly good! Took a bit of tedium to set it up, but it functions great! I have it with a solid SS mesh wick, 28 gauge kanthal, single coil at 1.7 ohm. The weird thing is that my usual genesis is about .8-1 ohm, but this seems to perform at higher resistances.

Bottom positive pin is a copper screw. It's long and sturdy enough to be able to adjust its height.

Glass is pretty slidey. I ended up having to put some kanthal wire under the o-rings.

Airholes were packed with some unidentified gunk, and were *tiny*. I drilled one out to 1/16", and had to clean the whole thing with a toothbrush. Too much machine oil. Wick hole had some small burrs around the edges, I had to smooth it out.

The spare airhole doesn't fully get covered by the spacer, no matter how much I try to move it over. Clones, eh? Oh well, not too big of a deal. The hole is small enough to be negligible, and I hear some people cover it with mesh/putty/tinfoil.

So far no leaks, even when laying on the side for an hour or so. Great taste. Tons of vapor. Not a lot of throat hit, just how I like it. For more TH, just turn the cap a bit, dur Looks very clean.

Overall, $13 well spent

Thx for the review. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a few of these.

Sent from my Provari mini with my Cobra!!!!!!!

Thanks for the write-up. I've got one on the way from slowtech as well.

Probably my last order with them, unless they get their act together with the shipping. I placed this order in early November, here it is one week 'til Christmas and I'm still waiting. It just got to Singapore a few days ago.

Anyway, I'll be satisfied if everything arrives functional.

Several folks - including myself, I picked up three of 'em - have experienced shorting with the spacer installed. It has a lower lip which can, and did, make contact with the positive post. A bit of grinding sorts that... Also, a few, again including myself, have experienced stripped threads.

Like a lot of FT-sourced gennies, it's serviceable enough with a modicum of work put in. I'd never call them great, though... They're just serviceable. That suffices at times.

No issues with mine, I get a lot of condensed juice in the top cap though, guess it comes with the reduced chamber size, flavor seems decent enough, but not hugely better then my other Genny type attis. I thnik build quality is decent no cpmplaints. Glass is a bit "slidy" Bedazzle has spare tanks for the Pulse which should fit fine.
