I need some advice on the Macaveli, I am thinking about getting on the next list on 12/10, But I just want to hear from people who have this device is there any advantages over other similar hybrids like the Ihybrid? any input is greatly appreciated
I hope my pare doesn't mind me posting this, but these are my opinions of other genisis mods.
I've owned both the ihybrid (1st run, 9/11) as well as the zenesis line (standard, mini, zap) and though these are all spectacular devices, they also had their flaws. Both are well made, but what I didn't like about the ihybrid was it being made out of aluminum (though, I know newer models are made of 316 ss now). I just never liked aluminum tube mods (even the old GG's worth a fortune), they just felt flimsy to me. I also didn't like the huge wick and fill holes, I'd get constant leaks and have to keep it upright at all times. Also, know way to make a dual wick or u-wick set up, not that it's important to me, but some people like that extra kick. The great thing about the ihybrid was the tank cover and different LE's that come out.
The zenesis are all greatly made and perform extremely well. All are made out of 316 ss and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. To me the Zap and provari combo was the cream of the crop. The only thing I hated about the zen's was the top cap easily falling off and the ptfe insert for the ss mesh wick melting at times. I personally removed the insert and just made a fatter oxidized mesh wick, though this was not recommended by Zen.
The macaveli is an awesome device that has nullified these flaws in other genisis devices. You can set up any type of ss wick set up you want and it's design is really streamlined. I really like the heft that you feel in your hand when vaping with it. The top cap doesn't fall off easily and so far I haven't had any major leaks with it when leaving it on it's side for a while. I love it in it's 18490/18500 mode because of it's size, but the 18650 mode is a little too big and heavy for me and I have large hands...lol! The magnetic bottom button is awesome, though I wish it were a tad bit wider. Mac made a great device and you'll be happy with your purchase.
