Slimest, really nice job, but I'm puzzled about the capacitor you've added. Is it attached to the positive and negative leads, and how does it offer the circuitry some protection from it's location after the circuitry? It seems to me that if the coil is shorting, then the surge comes from the circuitry itself and not from the site of the short. Does it slow down this surge? Sorry, but sometimes I am just dense.
When I first time connected my previous version of Genesis to eGo battery, accumulator declared short circuit. I spent a lot of time to find a short, but without success. Then I remembered that eGo has the step-down voltage regulator, but without any capacitors on its board. It means that this power supply gives high frequency pulse voltage to a heater. If we connect Genesis with a mesh wick which has only one electrical connection inside (only wick itself, not coil), we get a short coil. I decided to check out my theory, connecting the same atomizer using a capacitor. It helped.
After that I tried different versions of Genesis on eGo batteries. Sometimes they worked, sometimes not. But with capacitor they all work without problems.

Scubatdan, very, very good idea with two spacers used for connection. The first spring system I really trust.

which is why a vv mod has no problems w a coil-less atty is it has capacitors...and a better regulator of course...or am I going the wrong way with this...what I wonder is you guys with the coil less attys what are you doing with the mesh oxidizing or not...and how far is the mesh going up above the pos connection...also is it a thicker roll than the gen atty or the same...

Madman, Sturm's recent vid has just mesh and no coil, but slimest has a coil, and without the coil you don't oxidize the mesh as you want the current running through it. With the ego batts there is a mosfet driving it and it offers short circuit protection which blinks several times when it detects no resistance, but when the coil is shorting to the mesh ( a small section of the coil is being used or glowing) and there is very low resistance, it burns up the mosfet and the battery is unusable.

So slimest, you've gotten the no-resistance situation beaten with the capacitor, but also the very low resistance?

you do seem to have a novel idea
To the ear: what if raidy made something similar... I just imagine...

The capacitor is just a compromise. I think, if you use a pulse-width systems to heat a genesis system, you should consider using a capacitor in parallel to heater, otherwise you could meet a high power consumption.
