Heads up anyone looking for a rebuildable atty Electra Pipes have the genesis LV for sale at about £55 with shipping from the 16th from what i have heard its a pretty good atty... i have a similar inverted genesis design and love it ...great taste from these genesis attys due to the use of stainless steel wick and pennies to rebuild

Looks nice Gordy, but got me a RTA coming from clockworks soon.
Hoping it`ll be here before next weekend so one of you clever guys can give me a heads up on wicking and coiling. Seen vids, but dont think you can beat a face to face tutorial.

have you got some stainless steel mesh yet Brian? the RTA with ss wick is 100 times better than a fiber glass one plus the wick will last for months and months

ok so if you look at the first piccy you rool up some stainless steel mesh sheet into a tube and wrap some wire around it attaching either end to one of each of the posts. next you screw on the middle section. the attomiser chamber the fill the little bottle with juice and pop that into place too screw on the cover and away you go gravity feeds the juice so you get a fab vape.... when you want to refill of change juice either pull the bottle off and top up or replace the bottle with another one.. they sell extra bottles separately flavour changes are almost instant when swapping flavours to clean remove the middle section and was the wich under running water... it cleans up very easy and the wick lasts for months

I bought an RTA on the classies a couple of months ago. Got fibreglass wick, ss wick, 4 types of wire, chefs blowtorch, and a voltmeter.... I tried and tried to get it going.... watched vids, read tutorials, just could`nt suss it... In the end i sold the lot on UKV classies to a guy in Austria.... 3 weeks later it was still in, now this is the thing that almost sent me back to smellies....... AUSTRALIA!!!! How do you seriously explain to a buyer that your postal service has buggered up to such an extent, that they not only deliver to the wrong Country, but wrong continent, on the other side of the planet??? To his credit though, he had the tracking details, so knew it was on the way...... Talk about slow boat!!

yep comes in the hole in the front and past the coil and up around the edges of the bottle ...the pics arnt great but you can just make out a hole in the second pic ...i have a cyclon v2 and mine has 4 holes... some peeps have blocked a hole to give a firmer draw
cyclon v2 that i have and works about the same way... the cyclon v2 is £65 from a guy on UKV

the RTA is a bit more of a pain due to the U shaped wick i found it didnt wick quick enough with the fibre glass wick
when you get it i'll be more than willing to talk you through it even if i have to make you a wick at the mini meet LOL

So i'm presuming that when you have bought one of these it wont need replacing, just the coil and wick to change?

If i cant have it by then, at least i`ll be able to see a few in real life and have a play... Cheers for the offer though Gordy..

Is the bottom coil genesis a Russian design originally? dont quote me on this but i think the G-Tank from Sturm was the first or at least the most popular, he's from poland i was a tad sceptical as i imagined leaking may be an issue but apparently not works great, never a dry hit. a tiny bit of condensation around the bottle and the vapour is cooler but a tiny sacrifice for a wonderful flavour

So i'm presuming that when you have bought one of these it wont need replacing, just the coil and wick to change? once you have bought the unit all you need for life is a 40x30mm piece of stainless steel mesh per wick ...a user may replace this every 2-4 months i reckon depending on use. and a 50mm length of resistance wire ...replace every 1-2 months as its a stainless steel wick so they dont degrade like fibre glass one would and a wash, brushing or dry burn gets rid of the gunk build up and its like new again making the wick is a tiny bit fiddly but pretty straight forward ...10 minute job cost wise for wick and wire is £3 for A5 size sheet of mesh and £1 for 2 meters of wire...so for £4 you can run one of these for years

Thanks Gordy..
Would you happen to know how it compares with a traditional genesis?
