that i will have to try. i did it by hand and am pretty good rolling by hands :winkwink:
i saw the zen's vid of that. definitely was turning it. i may have made my wicks too thin. didn't realize the mesh was gonna be so flippyfloppy.
otherwise i got it at least running. having to hold it at like 2 to get it full o juice so it doesn't get hot spots. i rolled two wicks, tried the rolling paper, worked but shortly after got a hot spot. will refer to the ihy gdoc that got made up to see how big to cut the wick, but i did something around 2.25x5 cm. but i'll definitely use the syringe.
i used a propane torch to oxidize and it went pretty quick imo. i have a butane torch, but it's a lil girl compared to the propane. so i oxidized, rolled, and yeah. hot spots. just new to gennies. i'd heard that it takes a lil getting used to. will try rolling better later ;P thanks all, and thanks FACE for such a badass mod. after i got it working, it's a ....... cannon. ferreal
I haven't tried this and don't know if it's even possible but have you tried taking the switch apart. Removing the brass screw and once apart, unscrewing the locking ring? I would guess it would screw all the way out so you can get a look see at what is going on in there and maybe then take a picture. I may try it now just to see if it can be done and will report back.....wait for the edit.
Yes it can be done, maybe lube with a lil Vaseline.

It can...I did it the other day.
Yea honestly it can take a long time to get your first Genesis going.
As a crutch and "purists" will argue this day and night resort to rolling papers. No joke. Wrap the part of your wick that the coil goes on in about two wraps of rolling paper. Use VG or juice to stick into place and then wrap your coil. On a dry wick when you fire it, it will burn the paper to ash leaving a perfect carbon layer right under your coil. This is the same thing you are doing when oxidizing your wick.
That trick got me over the hump with building a DID on a ProVari. That thing was a nightmare....you couldn't even find the short before the ProVari E1'd and cut all power.
If you quench your wick(some do and some don't) it makes it stiffer. I still quench most of my wicks.

I wonder if any of the threading at the transition threading from the batt tube to tank assembly will gall. This can be slowed down if you apply some nolox, I would think. Looks good btw. Good idea on this design otherwise, Faceless.

I don't know lol, the purple is pretty sick!!
I LOL everytime I see FTW LOL
Glad yall got some iHy's today!!
Noflex was PM'd and taken care of. He said he got it and its working like a charm! on that note: The threads are all custom, you cant tap them, they are small threads and even dirt will make it feel rough. I recommend vaseline or no-ox-id, it will lube and clean your threads, it isnt needed though, just makes it were you dont have to clean the threads as much
Also, I take pride in my customer service, if your not happy with anything just shoot me a PM, I'll take care of you next business day. Also, a few people didn't get them directly from me and I have no control over what the other "people I can't talk about" have done with it, like take it apart, cross thread it, play light saber wars, etc. I was very nervous using that method and I finished my website today, now to just wait and get ECF approval and I will sell everything directly also
Just in case anyone forgot, not me LOL my appointment notification just went off. Faceless is having a contest tonight for a green tube set, everybody ready? I know I am
Wow! It would be so cool to add green to the black and red.. Although, I may never use any color but red... It really turned out well.

I watched but didn't see or hear any farting (that is what toots were when I grew up
), and what is this v3? I thought we were on V1, the proto and then the official version V1 which those who received a proto got as a replacement or a backup. I watched but didn't see or hear any farting (that is what toots were when I grew up
Oh crap I just spit my drink out tooty toot toot.

I was going to polish out these tubes but the finish has really grown on me...glad I left it alone. It's like the only PV I have that I don't have to constantly hit with a micro fibre towel.
Might still polish out the top cap but that doesn't get handled. I'll save doing that until your site is up and you have extras for sale

I either need to reduce my nic level or this wick is still breaking in.
I'm still getting throat hit 30 seconds after putting it down.
