It looks great for sure. Too complicated for this simpleton.

The idea of use the heater under the tank, is so far the best. Gravity accelerates the process of wick saturation and no leaks. Are we may ask for more....

Dan, goooooood work

This is how we weed the men out from the posers LOL
Really it is not that hard to setup
Just looks complicated but is really easy to tear down and build up.

Thanks, I kinda like the clear tubes so I can see what is going on inside. I have some pyrex tubing comming so it will be interesting to see the clarity that provides, and resistance to some juices like cinnamon.

Where'd you get that ceramic tubing Dan? I thought of using a ceramic rod instead of the stainless but thought better of it because I wasn't thinking it would wick well enough to keep up. Using it as an insulator for the mesh though....great idea

Is there any detectable difference in taste w/ the ceramic vs ss mesh?

Very good question.

I don't know if I missed it, but is it absorbent?
So its kinda like a reserve.

None that I can disern, the ceramic does not lend any foul taste that I can detect. The only bad taste I got was the first 5-10 puffs when it burned off any production residue. Since then it is like using the SS.

Very absorbent, soaks the juice right up.

I'm liking the sleeve idea better and better. I'm using cartomizer sock as a sleeve on my ce2 genisis tank mod now with good results.

Scubatdan, you are a real modder. You feel uncomfortable if everything works perfect a few days...

hello Dan
wat is this set-up on, is that like the aTo-mizer or is it on the scubagen

Mjm. Do you find that the sleeve method helps increase the flavor?
The first genesis I made worked awesome. Then it broke, now I can't seem to get the flavor to pop consistently.
Some times its bam, then blah, ect...
Sound like a good idea.

That is on the scubagen, the sleeve is slid onto the apex of the wick.

LOL I feel uncomfortable if it works good for a month. I am comfortable when it has been a year and it is still working

There's no increase in flavor that I notice, but no Ill effects on the taste either. The sleeve simply lets me skip the oxidation burn and coil fiddling steps entirely as the sleeve is contacting the mesh, and the coil is contacting the sleeve, thus no shorting is possible. It does take the sleeve a bit of time to fully absorb but is doing well for me even with a ss wick that looks like a train wreck. It MAY be helping with wicking a little, it definitely is not hurting wicking.
