Boba's works best for me on 400 mesh, solid-wick. That's the setup I used to test the mini when I got it in, and I was vaping boba's out of it
If I wasn't about to pack it up and send it back, the next thing I would do is probably try it without the insulator in there, because the other secret to Boba's is to have the widest possible wick- that's been my experience at least. I'm sure Zen put it in there for a reason, but none of my other Genesis systems have an insulator in them, and it has never been a problem.
Yeah. None of my other gennies have insulators either. It's all in the oxidization. If it's done right, you don't really need it. But it helps to eliminate one more spot to short.

Mike's "marketing" of the Zenesis was an "APV for EVERYONE." So easy even vicsan can do it!
The insulator gives one less place for a short to occur and makes it just that much easier for a rba newb to troubleshoot. I know a lot of people forgo the insulator...but that requires a very well oxidized wick.
The one my SW came with so I don't know if it's 325 or 400. I'm waiting on my iPhone olloclip lens and tripod to make the fat tank wick with the thin one for the coil video
I'm calling it the 50/50 wick

Do you ever make your way down South? You should.
Umm. I'm not sure how to take that lol
I actually haven't been to PDX in a while. After seeing that collection I just might have to visit
Is anyone here other than me using just a silica wick (special XC-116)? No Mesh, no insulator, no hotspots & no shorts . . .
Hi obster. My pleasure to help. Since you were otherwise occupied, someone needed to help him see the light.
Your just the woman for it
Grammies, I'm using silica sleeve in some other devices, but can't get the one I have to fit.
It's too big.
Lob for Ian
Me. But as I stated in a previous post, it started to taste a little off today. That's the only reason why I changed it. I'm still using it with other gennies.

p.m. me your address I'll send you a couple to try!
Evening all.
So I decided to test the voltage while the unit was on with a fresh battery. Freshly charged, reported at 4.16V. Tested on the negative and positive posts, 3.66V. Is that normal to experience that much of a drop? This is on an SS mini.

Awe snap! The parcels app just told me that a little blue PV has landed in my town. Great vapemail day tomorrow!
Are you using it with a ss mesh insert?
I can hardly believe the wick is still white in the tank (with all my dark coffee juice). Cleans up really easy too, just empty the tank, heat up the coil and dunk/swish (thanks vicsan for the tidbits of tricks)!

Ah good to know that other people have been taking the plastic out as well- I'll be doing it with whatever gets sent back to me from Jason.
I've been into the genesis devices now for quite awhile, but I've always been into the DIY stuff. These days, I spend a good deal of time posting in the RBA forum and my blog, and testing new builds and devices...and I do have to say, there are a lot of things about the Zenesis that I thought were pretty impressive compared to all of the Chinese builds that I've been using lately. I really liked the build quality- I knew it would be good, but taking off the bottom cap for the first time was when I realized just how great it was. And as far as ease-of-use, I think you're right- If I wouldn't have rebuilt the whole thing as soon as I took it out of the package, it would have been the easiest Genny system out-of-box that I have seen so far.
No. Not using the P54 Chimichanga method. I just use it as a straight wick. It works very well. You just have to use less wraps because it's so fat.
