I'd just try the thing out like it is man
Yep, I have every type of cartomizer, clearomizer, tons of rba's etc... The only thing that is vapor and flavor heaven IMO is the AGA+
I don't know what the difference is, but I got another 2 T2's in the mail today. Total of 5 of them and 2 naturals.
That AGA T2 is a sofisticate mans vape. The rest of the sh(t out there is a beggars vape. Once you get the damn things working that is. I have 5 right now, running like a top fuel dragster. Today that is. Hopefully they work the same tomorrow. I went through a lot of hell and misery in the past 2 days to get these Genesis clones to work right.
Got my Natural in the mail today from GotVapes. This has probably been said in the thread, but the bottom post is NOT designed to be adjustable. It's spring loaded, but mine bottomed out in the bottom cap, so the spring was useless. I ground the lower part of the pin down, just until the screwdriver slot went away, then cut a new one with a dremel. I sanded down the top post just until I saw brass. I did the same for the atomizer side of it. They don't state it on the site, but 18500 protected batteries will not fit with a kick. I removed the protection to make it a normal non protected 18500. It still had a little gap with the kick, before I did the mods mentioned above. Now it fits with no gaps and no rattles. The 18650 fits as well, even though it's a mm or so shorter. Now I just need to find a weaker spring for the button and I'll be good to go.
Set up my AC9 today, first coil sucked and popped. Second coil is a vapor making fiend, almost no fiddling to get it to fire right. This thing rocks on my Natural...
I nearly bought the AGA T2 instead of the IGO L, but I figured I'd start on RBAs without the 'hassle' of a genesis tank, then once I'm comfortable I'll move up. I also like the idea of the IGO L as a dripper too, but I do look forward to an AGA T2
I just did a little more work on my switch, and that nut is 10mm. I sacrificed an old 12-point 10mm wrench, ground the closed end so it would be thinner and it works great. I couldn't find a suitable donor spring, so I cut one and a half coils off normal spring and stretched it back to its original length. The switch is now much easier to press. I don't have any noalox, so I used petroleum jelly on the firing pin and it slides pretty smoothly now.
Sure.
I could have ground it down a little bit more and made it fit better, but it worked. The nut is really close to that round plastic piece the negative pin goes through. With just a little more grinding on the end of the wrench, it would fit between the gap easily. You can see I tried grinding the open end down, but the tube is too narrow to be able to use it. If someone decides to do this, make sure it's a 12 point wrench and not a 6 point. The 12 point doesn't have to move as far to grab a hold of the nut.

Thank you! I see a wrench in my toolbox trying to hide from the files now
Absintheur, that is one cool looking pipe. Did you make it? If you ever decide to let it go I want first dibs!!!!!
Oh! I love Blue Mist "Clove Tobacco", and "Smooth" (all day vaping) I ordered some Robacco to try and was so disgusted with the taste I had to set the bottle on fire and watch it burn.
Different people different tastes. Glad someone enjoys the stuff.

Same mods here, as I said elsewhere, this mod will be popular with the handy folks. Others as I can see from their pictures are making due with gaps at the threads, this mod has poor stability if I do that. High drain - unprotected batts already fit but now so do protected. I'm betting I can get a kick in as well since I ground everything to the max, so that for high drains I put a plastic peg in the bottom cap to act as a stopper under the bottom post, remove the peg and I have the maximum amount of space this tube is capable of.

Just FYI. The spring in the switch and the spring under the Negative post are identical on mine.
I removed the spring under the negative post to allow more travel for slightly taller batteries, and all the seems close up with anything I use.
This is good also for modding the switch spring. A user above cut a coil out of the spring to make the action lighter. Because there are 2 springs, you could do this without feeling too bad.

You can remove that washer between the bottom post, too. Should add a mm, and makes reassembly easier by just dropping the pin in. Mine is sitting loose so I can turn it over and drop it out, but someone else used a rubber grommet or o-ring on the bottom of the post to secure it. This should strengthen the contact too since you can clean the plating off where the post screws together. That little washer works great in a genesis.
I have 3 different battery types and have no gaps. Slight gap on the Natural that I didn't sand the top to. The other one I sanded the battery contacts a tad bit and still no gaps. I have a couple batteries that had button tops, I carefully smashed down the button. I know this is not recommended with lipo batteries, but they didn't have an issue. I also store all my batts in a lipo sack at the end of the day too.
I think this is a killer mod for under 1 hondo. I might even order 1 more so I have 3 for my favorite flavors and then I don't have to keep switching atty's
