I'm going to look into the various thread covers soon. I can get them from the same supplier I order drip tips from so it might be the new years before they show up.

I'm also researching the kanger t3s since they seem to be so popular. I'm not a fan of the 'ego thread required' thing but if the masses want em and I try one and think it's a quality product, I'll carry it and ego adapters.

There is a piece of hardware I actually haven't tried yet.
You play a dangerous game my friend

I opened with limited stock. I'm flipping 100% of my profit into inventory right now to increase my offerings. I'm hoping to plane out and get a set product list so I can use the sales from those items to maintain stock and then take any profit and flip it into my product development after the new year.

Next year is going to be the Year of the Steam Monkey.

FYI: Coming in January, The New Aga-T (name to be determined)

Changes:

All stainless steel construction, nuts, center post, eveything.

Removed knurling from the device for a more sleek look and feel.

relocated wick hole for better set up with stainless steel mesh.

O-ring attached top cap so you can place the airhole wherever you want. If you'e using silica, move it over there, mesh, move it over to the mesh side, mesh with a quartz tube over it, go 90 off in either direction.

And....

Borosilicate glass tank as an option!

Best of all... Based on the numbers I'm getting right now, I'm planning to absorb the majority of the cost increase and keep the kits extremely close to my current price. There may be a 2-3 dollar increase but unless they throw me a dramatically different number I'll be carrying the new Aga-T very close to my existing price point and with all the same goodies inside.

Night primates, looks like I'll have mesh and my new mesh packaging materials tomorrow. I ordered more this time so it should last longer heh. Expect product updates at some point tomorrow night.

Also... if you're holdin out on the zmax kit sale, be careful, once that stock is gone the sale is over ;)

+1 vote for skirts for the twist to go with the aga-s or vivis. Maybe a smaller tank for the twist would be nice too, although I don't know what works well. I'll give the ce5 a go when I get the zmax, since it seems to be thinner than the vivi mini. The vivi mini I think is just a bit too wide. Looking for something other than carts to use with the twist and still feel ok putting it in a pocket (short and thin). Also, some kind of basic 510 atomizer for drip testing flavors would be nice.

Just realized the kanger t3 prob fits my requirements, so I guess ++ on that!

The kanger is a ego 'required' device since it only has ego threads, no actual 510 threads. My test unit will be here tomorrow I think?

I'm not making any more restock orders until after Xmas, the shipping out of china right now is terrible and I'm going to be out of town for 6 days so... I can't have product sitting on my porch while I'm out of town and I can't be sure anything I order right now will make it before the 20th. SO... while I'm on vacation I'm going to place a bunch of re-stock orders that should be here for the new year. I'll also be picking up a few more "new additions"

Right now, the ego skirts are a deffinite, more drip tips are a deffinite. I'm going to be picking up 3 different style skirts, the plain mini cone, a straight walled thead cove that should make the mini vivis look ok, and a flared thread cover that should make the full sized vivis, igo-ls, and other 'larger' devices look ok on the Ego-Twists.

Kangers are a big 'maybe' right now.

Efest batteries in 18350, 14500 are a big maybe right now.

Nipple top Panasonics for those users of devices that won't accept a flat top are a big maybe right now.

And soshine chargers for 18650s are also a big maybe. I use soshine chargers and love the series mine comes from so I'm debating a trial run on them to see if people want em.

The Zmax I carry is the Sigelei version yes. It has an OLED screen and slightly different internals. It tests almost identical to the latest Smok version as far as performance, it is slightly larger in diameter (mm or so) and is a polished stainless steel. It also comes with 2 generic IMRs, a charger, 2 end caps (extended and flat) and some random CE4 in a pretty box ;)

I love my Sigelei. I would love to by another, but I just can justify it lol. Especially since I won a zmax v1. Will the sigelei be available in different finishes anytime in the near future?

I may be replacing the zmax with a different device for 2013.

I don't know what I've done wrong, but I just can't get the thing to work, used up all the included screen and wire, no matter what I did wouldn't go over 1.5 ohm, just the first wrap would glow and blow constantly, i would just leave the wire unwrapped connected to the posts and can get 3 ohm that way so don't know what the hell is going on, but about ready to give up already lol i think out of a tank of juice i've been able to get 3 drags out of it

This thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...zer-systems/309261-wick-coil-tips-tricks.html has some really helpful techniques on the first page.

Genesis atties have a learning curve so don't be discouraged, once you get the hang of it, its smooth sailing... most of the time.
