I think I have NEARLY mastered re-wicking and coiling this new toy.

Does it take time to bed in? I also put on 4 coils and am getting a reading of 1.6 ohms.So is this wrong do I need to pull it apart and recoil again ?

[Deleted]

nope that sounds good
just bed it in

[Ron]

I thought it had to be 2.2 to 2.6

depends on the battery you are using mate

My last one was 1.6 and is working quite well. The flavour does improve after a tank of juice has been through it on a new coil and wick.

Have you seen that they have the clear tanks for these on the site now

Lavatube

what voltage should the Genesis run at?

You can set the lavatube to any voltage and it will scale down to what ever the atty can handle. Normally I can get about 3.9 on a 1.6 coil. The Provari gives an error if you set it too high.

Erm hope you dont mind me asking this here but I could do with a bit of help

So I cut the mesh to 25cm x40cm oxidised on the stove a good few times folded one side over by 2mm then rolled it up from the other side around a syringe needle ,till it was small enough to slide into the wick hole snugly  then I oxidised it heating it up red hot then dipping it in water about 5 times then I tipped some juice on and light it with a lighter a few times 
Then I but the wick into the hole with the Needle still in place got my wire heated it with a lighter a bit then attracted it under the bottom screw connector and wrapped it around the coil 4 times (clockwise) connected it to the top post adjusted the coils a little more evenly 

Now is where I got a little confused what should I have done from here?

What I did was filled the tank with juice down through the wick then hit fire on an ego t battery and a pittyful amount of vape came off I gave it a slight sniff and eww it wasn't pleasant put it on the lava tube checked the resistant and it says 1.1 
Is that ok :s I was expecting more around 2 anyway I put the cap on made sure airhole was dead on with the wick and started to vape
The taste wasn't all the nice compared to a mini nova and seems to have far less throat hit 

When I hold the fire down with out the cap on I can see the juice fizzing away and the vape coming off but the coil doesn't look red for a few seconds when the very top bit does go bright red .. Is this a hotspot? Lol I'm gushing that's what I'm tryin to avoid

I'm hoping someone could help me from that point
How tight should I have the wire around the coil ?
Is there any reason to turn clock wise or anticlockwise?
And how do I know or test to see if I've managed to make a good or a bad coil ? 

Bit of a rant I know sorry I'm just so confused

Where is the airhole in the top cap when compared to the wick when it is screwed in?

1.1 ohm is a bit low. You are lucky your ego survived that..I would go another wrap around the coil. There is minimal difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise. Wrap the coil in such a way that the run to the posts is at a minimum. I usually start clockwise at the bottom and go anti-clokwise aroud the center post at the top and this keeps a tiny amount of extra coil in contact with the wick but like I said it's marginal.

The top coil is the most troublesome. Bend the wick gently towards the center post and minimize the run to the center post. It does not matter if the wick touches the nut so long as the wick is properly oxidised. What number mesh are you using?

I used a bit of wet n dry on The cap so I've managed to get it directly infront of the wick
Glad the ego didn't die I'm not sure I'm using the mesh and wire that came with it at the moment , with regards to the wick should it be tight in the hole or have some play to wiggle about , oh and should I be able to move the wick up and down or even get it out
Reson I say is I read somewhere if the coil isn't touchin the wick it will taste rancid burning air , but now I think I may have it to tight ???

[maccafan]

It's ok if it's tight in the hole so long as the wick has a hole through and through..Also cut the bottom of the wick off @ 45 degrees..

Yes it will taste funky if the coil is not touching and that's the reason for minimizing the run to the posts..

Mine came in at 1.6 ohms and tasted not great until I had a couple of tanks full then it is the best vape I have tasted

well i think its just coincidental but ive had to leave it alone for a few days now i think i seem to have developed a bloody wicked cough and feel like ive swallowed razor blades into my lungs , very strange tho not had a cough like this since i stopped the cigs , eek

[Ron]

Just going to try to re-wick my newly delivered second genesis
