Question about genisis attys.

[urquidezj]

I made this og style genny, it works awesome. I made it out of ss turned it down to fit poly tube one problem I'm having is that a lot of juice ends up on the top part where the coil is. Is there a secret to these? Here is a pic
Thanks

Is it juice or condensation? If it's condensation you can add a small hole to the top portion so you actually clear the chamber each time. Placement should be about level with the coil if I remember correctly.There may be other tricks in the scubagen threads. I hope that helps.

Edit - Just realized you're in AZ. What part?

 

[otrem]

agree,condensation. when the air came frm the side of coil, the chamber is moist to almost dry.

 

[urquidezj]

Tucson bro, its not condensation, I can see it seep through the fill hole I don't kniw how to make it stop, it messes with my vapor production if I don't open it and clean it out, also hurting my juice intake

 

[urquidezj]

Oh yeah, link to that line looking atty otem please

 

[nicotime]

I dunno about the genisis...but on my mod I have a Pyrex tube right down almost against the coil with an air intake tube positioned also near the coil......if you pull the vapor right off the coil as its produced you dont give it a chance to form condensation...which is what you have in the pic...if it was juice leaking in to the chamber it wouldnt look like that in the tube wall. You will never get rid of all of it though.

I don't quite follow what you mean with the fill hole seeping, is that plugged when you aren't filling? What you are getting is likely a combination of condensation and splatter and a bit of gunk coming off the wick to make sure it gets a slightly darker coloring. Being as that surface is cooler than the wick and coil or even the metal below it, that is where it will go and you can't help it. As it builds up it will run down, and in your pic it clings to where the SS and the clear tubing meet. If you can (much easier with a lathe) you can make the floor of the chamber concave or add a dam so that this runs back to the mesh and can recycled and vaped. In the G-tank the chamber always comes out clean as a whistle, but the tank is covered in goo.

 

[otrem]

urquidezj. i assembled it frm ce3.

 

[urquidezj]

Here is a better pic, as u can see that's juice, the more I use it the more juice ends up there, I think what asdaq said about making the floor concave will help out. Will do Monday at work. Or until my coil goes out cuz its vaping awrsomely lol

 

[otrem]

move air hole lower(?).

 

[otrem]

so much vapor prod'n. that you cant cope inhaling that it stays in chamber and condensed.(?) (guessing here)

 

[urquidezj]

Will try that, my tube is gonna be completely covered with tape with all the holes in it already LOL

 

[urquidezj]

Not sure, the vapor I let out isn't insane a 306 throws thicker vape might havr a bad configuration Idk.

 

[otrem]

vapor prod'n continues even after releasing the fire button. (suck once or twice right after release of switch).

 

[nicotime]

Its the heavier components of the juice that doesnt vaporize or falls out of suspension easily...it happens in attys too...you just dont see it because they arent clear. Try a tube down to pick up the vapor off the coil and you will see some of that go away...air hole location would only help if the flow can be directed at the coil to make it hotter. And like asdaq said...get it to drain to your wick...you could even tuck some wick down on the floor to wick it to the SS mesh. Having a tube sticking down in the chamber also helps prevent getting juice in your mouth when tilting the PV since there would have to be enough juice to make it all the way to the tube opening at the coil which is pretty much centered in the chamber depending on how you do it.

 

[asdaq]

It's present in your RDA atty too, but there the wick lies along the bottom and mops up the excess.

 

[urquidezj]

So here is what i did,

Also polished her up a bit

Works good

I re did the coil and wick and notice that I'm getting very little vape, will wait to see if it breaks in. I rolled the mesh with a toothpick, don't know if its maybe too big on the center. It sucks awesome but vapor is not as much, could that be my problem or should I let it break in. Thanks

 

[asdaq]

Looks nice and shiny, good contour too. Is that white thing around the wick an o-ring or some sort of insulator? Also, I'm curious where do you fill your fill your tank? I'm not sure about the little vape part, the action shot looks like it is pretty good.

 

[urquidezj]

Thanks, I took the insulator off as I don't need it, there is a fill hole there next to it but in the pic its covered up. The vapor production is good with the cover off but sucks with cover on. I just redid my mesh so it might still be breaking in? Idk.

 

[urquidezj]

I'm having a hard time with this thing, its not wicking, I know its not shorting but after two puffs it glows and the wick looks dry do I have to remake it or what?
