Trying something new

[SheerLuckHolmes]

Just got excited about genesis style attys last week when I saw the variety is growing.

Am waiting with anticipation to get a Genesis style atty. Have ordered AC9 but they say 5 - 6 weeks before shipping on that. Should get a Chinese Genesis style this coming week. Just missed several co-op opportunities to order other options.

So, since I have SS mesh and Kanthal wire I rebuilt one of my vivi novas. Came out at 1.2 ohms. Vapes fine. No appreciative change in taste. I am getting a tingling across my temples. Nicotine rush? Any advice or comments. Only been using it for about half an hour so far.​

Forgive my ignorance, but what constitutes a 'genesis-style' rba? Is it the whole wicks-thru-the-lid-and-into-a-tank thing?

Two sections to the tank. Lower tank has the juice. Upper tank a wick (usually SS mesh) sicks up into an empty chamber which has a positive and a negative connection the coil wire spans the two and is wrapped around the wick which is in a vertical orientation to the device. This empty chamber is where the vapor coming off the wick and coil can whirl around in a vortex before moving up into the mouth piece. There is usually an air hole in the outer cap that should line up with the wick so the incoming air is immediately combined with the vapor.

Benefits are much greater sense of flavor from the juice. More efficient delivery of nicotine allowing you to cut down on nic level. Which for me allows me to save some $$ since I make my own juice and can use less nic and less flavorings but get more nic and flavor out of the device.

Nice! Sounds like just the thing to sit on top of a tube mod! If you get it in before the meet, PLEASE bring it and show it off!

As the title suggests, I've been mulling over my options lately and having a hard time deciding. I like the idea of home-repairable gear, but I really, really would like something that produces plenty of vapor, Doesn't Clog, and is durable.

Between the Vivi Nova and "Genesis style" (which one?) what do you suggest? The Nova's currently leading for me due to price. I still like the Vision CCs, but find they plug up pretty frequently for me.

Thanks!

I am currently using the ViVi nova right next to a genesis. Both produce nice clouds of vapor. The ViVi is attractive to me for it's low price and low price for extra heads. The genesis is attractive to me for the independence from needing to buy atomizers from china over and over and over and over. The ViVi is simple. Screw it on a device, screw off the top and dump the juice in and start vaping. That is nice. The genesis' satisfy the hobbist in me. The ability to play and experiment and fiddle. Both work fine. Both are a joy. You have to decide what your interests are and which best meets you usage.
