Ahem.... Cotton is awesome, so is xc132- both for micro coils, and both with a bottom feeder.
Why would you need anything else? juice contaminants from the metal, hotspots.... Genies are TRULY a tinkerers game. For the most consistent, amazing vape, try an rm2 and a reo set up micro coil ( whatever ohms you prefer for a mech)

sounds like a clone - they dont come with drip tips - and the real one is made of titanium only and costs around 165 bucks with very limited vendors in the US. still one of my favorites. all the copies don't even compare.
I agree the learning curve on mesh is pretty annoying for many but once it 's figured out its easy, and puts hair on your chest .

Yeah, its a really, really cr@ppy clone. That center post is all over the place. I have to back my adjustable center pin back on my Magneto, then screw it into the top cap, and gingerly tighten the center pin back up to it. Lol. At least I didn't pay for it. This is it. http://www.fasttech.com/products/14...obra-genesis-style-rebuildable-atomizer-3-5ml

Hah! The nerve! Calling cotton, the Mayfly of wicks, more consistent than the immortal SS mesh.
On a more serious note:
Why would metals contaminate my juice? I use 316-grade SS mesh. What is the Reomizer made of?
On a more helpful note: If your gennie develops hotspots after it's been properly set up; something's wrong. Most likely an Aga T2 that has a tendency to adjust its own center post at various occasions.

That FT cobra clone and my RSST both like to adjust themselves so I have to adjust every battery change. Its ok tho because my friend from the B&M is bringing me his z-hybrid because he doesn't use it. I love all this hand me down vape gear.

Oh, not to sound all gushy, but I am in love with this build right now ... hands down one of the most pleasant vapes I have had to date. I only hope that when it comes time, that I can duplicate the effort. Three months ago I was giving mechs and gennies the side eye, whereas today I am like "what took me so long?" ... real talk. But I do see the benefit in crawling before I walked. ;-)
Really? .. The difficulty I found in changing my cotton wick in a Genesis, not to mention the frequency, is what made me decide to have a go with SS Mesh. I found that 2 out 3 attempts to change the cotton wick, ruined my build because the gunk between the coil and cotton would stick, and I used a fairly thin cotton wick too. For whatever reason, I found changing cotton wicks in RDA's to be easier than in a Genesis.
Heh that's why I bought a second Aga T2 when I got the first one set up right. Wouldn't dare taking it apart in case it was just a stroke of luck.
Agreed! .. I don't know if I just really lucked out with this build or what, but it has been a week now, and I have not had to fiddle with it at all since I built it. I refill twice a day and go on my merry way ... and I chain vape this thing like the answer to world peace is in it!
Hearing about the constant fiddling, and fixing from some users is exactly what kept me away from it until now.. But like Thrasher said, every device, and its builder is different, so its all relative. The AGI is working great for me, but then I have nothing else to compare it to .. yet. I am looking forward to experiencing the differences of other Gennie's .. now they just need to get here from China.

Ya know ... I was also gonna comment on that "metals contaminating juice" comment, but initially opted to pass. Where the hell do people get this from. Between this, and the NEW brass hysteria, I am starting to get aggravated ... Where are the vapers who have contaminated juice? Where are the vapers who were lead poisoned by brass atties? Where are they? Who are they? ... Been in this game for 2 1/2 years, and been a member of this board for most of that time, and I have never, ever, heard of a single vaper being sick, or negatively effected by metal contaminated juice, or poisoned by lead from a brass atomizer.
Enough with this nonsense already! Unless someone can present an actual, verified case of a poisoned vaper, with some medical records, I find it irresponsible to keep putting this imaginary fear out there ... And random dudes on youtube hypothesizing about the dangers of brass and metal in my atties do not count.
Yea don't care about the hazards.... The stuff that flakes into the juice reservoir is just icky. That's all lol
Well... du-uuh! They're all dead
Have to admit I find comfort in knowing the metal in my atties is food grade, tho.
I'm still on ss, simply because its so friggin low maintenance. This wick+coil im vapring right now i built 7 months ago and it last developed a hotspot like 2 months ago or so which took around 2 minutes to fix... Also "mirco" coils arent exclusive to cotton, this one has 12 wraps of 0.1x0.3mm kanthal around it and i was doing that way before it was mainstream! /hipdouche
I do admit you can get superior performance out of a cotton build that is the same volume but just like silica they get clogged every other week and you have to build a new one while all it takes to unclog a SS wick is a single dryburn and bam good as new.

Just curious what device you're using that requires you to completely rebuild when using micro's and cotton? I have an auto drip set up on one of my devices and all it requires is removing the old cotton dry burning the micro's the replacing more cotton.

you will certainly be able to replicate. in fact, youll find it easier and easier each build you do. i used to DREAD setting up gennies. straight up hated it. but i loved the vape so i put up with it. each build took a shorter and shorter amount of time. i am now at the point where setting up gennies is a breeze, and i actually enjoy it! hotspots? bring em on! i shall slay thee. hotspot schmotspot. i have come full circle
as far as your cotton build getting wrecked by pulling out the wick- ive run into that with non-micro coils and yep its a PITA. but if you use thicker wire (28g and thicker) it will hold its shape better. same with micro-coils. they will hold shape much better. best of both worlds, use thick wire AND make it a micro. these coils are solid as a rock. i yank my cotton wicks without being overly ginger and they slide right out, without deforming the coil. perhaps that will work for you too.
