the price listed is incorrect. when i ordered it it changed in the cart, the price was a total of 101.59 euro shipped or about 141.50 as of last nights exchange rate. so actually cheaper.

Looks like a Z Atty and Cobra. Any advantages to this one over the other slightly cheaper tanks?
a Z is 22 mm a cobra is 20mm. other then fit and finish they all work the same, but usually with the hand made stuff more attention to detail, little things like better fitting of the posts and grommets used as well as spacing of the hole next to the post for easier assembly with less problems like hotspots.
i just prefer to invest in a nicely made mod that doesnt come from china.

Is z-atty or cobra made in China? How does the z-atty compare directly to the Somnium?

my misconception i saw the word cheaper and took it from there, i do know it has a 1.5mm airhole and the wickhole is 2.8mm with insulator and 3.5 without.
i wont know how it compares till i get it next week lol

while the zap is still nice i personally lost interest as many of the newer ones are bit more updated in design like using dual orings so the caps dont come off so easy and several like the somnium are using thumbscrews and going toolless.
I love my cobra so it interested me to see what looksto be a SS version with an airier draw.
and scotts review shows it vaps like a train so
e-cig-reviews.com/Somnium%20Atomiser.html

he has reviews of all the popular genis if you want to get a feel for them and see them in action and setup.

Yeah I've seen many of his videos. What other tanks are "newer ones are bit more updated in design" other than the Somnium? Foggatti? BliSS?

i was going to get the bliss but i didnt care for the screw top, nice kit though.

best i can tell you is keep looking around here and get verified to cruise the classies. i see more stuff i never heard of then anywhere else. there was a wicked geni for sale today i never heard of called a GkmF with 7 holes in the deck capable of quad wicks if desired and before i could review the pics and ad it was sold.

the genesis market is just now taking off and there is just too much to keep track of, and i think some of the older designs should be a bit updated to keep up. again not putting down the ZAP but you take away the provari skirt and really it's just a genesis with a top that falls off, lol and now with the provari hippo making a splash most atty;s look good on a proV.

Still waiting to get approved, the guy approving them has a sick family member atm.

I just want a solid RBA tank to put on my newly acquired Dingo. I have a Reo & Chalice RBA for everyday use. Just wanted to see what the Genesis style was about and rather than collect every one of them comes out like so many people, one solid 18350 mod would be good enough.

i agree. i had the MMV DID to start its a great atty, but i found the draw too open for me , so i got a cobra, and love it, perfect for me like drawing on a carto, but there are times now i would like a more open draw so i figured instead of buying a top cap for 1/2 the price of the atty i would buy something close to the design with a more open draw and saw the somnium when scott reviewed it.

all the nice ones basically vape like trains, just little differences like draw, ease of setup, small features etc separate them. and really if your new to geni's get one of those aga's cheap to see if you even like them. i went with a cheap did clone first time and was hooked.

I'd like to put something pleasing to the eye on the Dingo. :)

I bought 2 cheaper REOmizers then a Chalice, rather just buy the better stuff first. Then which of the gennys would you say is easiest to set-up?
