Hi,

Have a question about rebuildable genesis type atties on the grand? Can it be done? I am very interested in the Genesis (line), but they all have tanks...and of course I dont need that on the grand, but I would like to benefit from the stainless steel wick-rebuildable set up, so I can have a new experience, perhaps better flavor...and not to have to keep buying atties and cartos. Also if anybody has used these...will they short the reo. Thanks.

I can answer some of your questions. I had a G-tank (genisis with SS wick). I bought it for my Provari and eGo. The design can be changed to bottom feed type and there are few prototypes around. If it works and set-up properly these atties have tons of flavor and produce some serious vapor amount. But, there's a catch.

One has to DIY own wick, oxidize it and wind kanthal/nicrome wire. If design is compact like a G-tank is, there is not much room for error and can easily get coil and wick positive shorted to the body. By the time I got it figured out I had several shorts on Provari (E1 error), current overload. Luckily, Provari is an intelligent mod and will shut itself down without damage.
Then I tried the tank on eGo - all good until the eGo got toppled over from its horizontal standing position. Picked it up, fired and immediately fried brand new 1000mah battery.

If I was to use these kinds of DYI atties on REO I would make sure I have two dozen spare springs laying around. Just my 2cents on the topic.

Back to zombies.

you win, I'll survive but you'll live better if shorter

Make no mistake about it - when whatever form of apocalypse hits us, I'm the guy looking for the big red X to stand on. Spare me the horrors of survival, thank you very much. I'm all about quality of life over quantity.

Guys the SS wicks work very good if you do them correctly, no shorts, no issues what so ever and are very strong in a G-Tank set up as well. Flavor and vapor in the 2 G-Tanks I run is great the more the wick gets oxidized the better both wicks have been in my G-Tanks for over 3 months now and though I dont just use my G-Tanks all day I do use them often and like I said they just keep getting better. I'm sure sooner or later I will have to replace them but it takes me like 10min to roll oxidize and install a new one and that includes wrapping the wire. I also use a small piece of the XC-116 Ceramic wick material. I roll my mesh, oxidize it, then slide it through the center of the XC-116, do my wire wrap, then trim off the excess XC-116 thus giving me a superior vape.

I also use them on my VV Ego's doing a 1.5-1.7ohm wrap, and they work super on these as well.

You can also mod the vision ( CE2 type carto's ) with mesh as well

I love both discussions. The genesis and zombies. I'm in line to get a line by van, and am looking out for scubabatdan's bfg. Can't wait to get something that I can use on the reo.

As for zombies, I got em down pat. Survival bag, bowie knife, SKS, pistols, shotgun. We are ready to go!
