Well, I was sitting at my desk, being green with jealousy over everyone who is getting one of these devices instead of me, and then I started thinking about one of the posters who had mentioned being warey of replacing the mesh and coil when the time came for it. So then I got struck with this idea.

Why not take this Personal Vaporizer that is already, IMHO, the BEST mod design I have come across so far, and take it one step further! Now, in addition ti being an incredible juice tank feeding high vapor production device, you can make them ULTRA EASY to maintain as well!

Now please bear in mind, I was just toying with this idea and I have not made anything. This is just a concept I came up with for a Genesis add-on, and I figured I would throw the concept your way and see what you think of it. I mean, I don't think it would really work with anything other than the Genesis mod. I was just goofing around though, and I called it The Warlock Cartridge for the Genesis PV. Excuse the name, I live in Salem, MA. :D

So as if you did not have enough work to do already.. Modify your genesis design to accept The Warlock cartridge and then build us a bunch of these cartridges as well! LOL

I tried editing this. the image is 800 x 600 and I dont know how to make it look bigger in the post. Shouldnt 800x600 be a LOT more visible???

Great idea! but maybe over engineered? The picture is too small on my screen to read the text but I think the difficulty with implementation would be standardizing the electrical connection. Physical spacing on the contacts would have to match for everybody's top cap.


Some general musings:
yes, convenient but... That would kind of defeat what I consider to be the greatest strength of the genisis. The fact that the mesh and kanthal are easily replaceable and user ADJUSTABLE to suit individual preference :)

Everybody is different, everybody uses different juice, everybody vapes/inhales differently. Even with those the same, people want different vapor, different throat hit, etc. I think that's one of the (if not THE) biggest mistakes/confusion/frustrations. Everyone is looking for that "perfect" vaporizer. What most everybody fails to grasp is that it's different for each individual. The manufacturers design for what they think is the common denominator due to physical and practical limitations. End result is everybody lives with a compromise.

Being able to vary your mesh, kanthal, and heat to your individual tastes (on a non-disposable device) is huge. For example I have currently settled on #400 mesh, 20 mm rolled to 2.1 mm diameter with 6 wraps of 0.20 kanthal with 1.9 Ω resistance. Works perfect for me to direct inhale with a huge air hole using what is my preferred juice at the moment. Any or all of that might change next week. When I swap out mesh and coil I can do it in about 5 minutes for a cost less than $0.10.

While a pre-made mesh and coil might be convenient to change in and out, thousands of variations to choose from would be impractical. And cost? and connectors (they'd all have to be to some standard)?

Right now this only takes me 5 minutes to change everything using a prepared mesh roll. 10~15 min if I have to prep the mesh. scissors, screw driver and mini-torch. There might be a market for pre-rolled and preped mesh maybe.
