What? lol
What my problem was- In preperation for the Ihybrid I took my Zens insulator out to try and wrap a coil It pops everytime near the positive post. The wick is not touching the postive post or the bottom of the tank in any way.
Well, I'm a genesis noob, but hopefully this will help. I had no issues with the first SS mesh wick I ever made (which was earlier today) and I did the following:
1. Jack frost method
2. Torch and quench 3 times
3. VG burn off 3 times
4. Cigarette paper method
Did that and no issues. I probably went overboard, but hey it works.

Note: The bottom coil doesn't have to touch the insulator to melt the insulator. When you do a dry burn you will see the mesh get orange, not just the Kanthal, the heat from the mesh can and will travel down the mesh and melt the insulator if the bottom coil is too close.
I will assume you pulled on your wick and the insulator didn't slide up with your wick, if it did then it has melted against the wick, even a little bit will inhibit wicking.
There is a happy place for your coil to be.....not to tight and not to loose.
Guess what my iHybrid did today?

Watched some people who know how to play golf while you kept huffing and puffing on it, thus making it miss the best shots of the day?
Watch rnmreviews on youtube.
I pretty much do mine the same as Rick.

So you like the thin walled but thick wicks too? You could nearly suck a blizzard through mine....or she could.
maleko: you caught me before editing the post - I do not use the insulator in the Zenesis, no...
I guess you could do without number 2. Otherwise, that's exactly what I've been doing.
Ughhh... no! Golf course gangbang shoot? That's so 70s! You need a new agent, man!

Jack frost method (no quench)+ cigarette paper trick+ Zen's method for coiling= EPIC WIN!!!
Got it on the 1st try. Not as pretty as Zens but no hot spots. Now to just break in my wick. So not used to how quiet a genesis is compared to how loud my carto tank is. I keep thinking it's not firing.

faceless do can you tell me the thread size and pitch of the poss. screw?
im looking into getting a button head screw to use.
I want to try to keep my wicks as straight as poss.

hey guys ,cant wait to compare the V1 to the V2.. Should be getting the V2 tomorrow hopefully.. Then on to different types of tubes.. Im most excited about the 26500/26650
Just take the one that came with it and tell them what you want and that it needs to be the same length and thread configuration. I would definitely tell em it has to be SS as well. Have you tried pulling the one from the Zen you have, to see if that fits. If it does then you can just order one from Mike.
