I loved mine...especially after U-Wicking it. As for the more recent generation....I also love my Sat-22s and my Oz22. Genesis atty's are not for everyone, that is for certain.
I can never get it to wick with anything except the mesh and maybe it's just the Aga but no matter what I do the ohms fluctuate. I had it working for a few months so left it alone but it needed new mesh so I rebuilt it tonight resulting in nothing but frustration. And you have to hold it practically upside down just for it to saturate the wick.

Sorry you are having a hard time with it. :(. They tend to be a love or hate bit of kit.

With all the modern tanks and rebuildables it just seems like an obsolete way of doing things, expecting the juice to climb all the way up the wick like that. And I don't know what's up with this ohm fluctuation. At least now it's just jumping from 2 to 2.2, earlier it was 2 one second and 1.1 the next. I don't even know why it's two, I'm using 28g wire.

Lack of oxidation between the coil and the wick. My 22's are wicked with Japanese Cotton....basically auto-dripping....you still have to tilt, but whilst the flavour is not as vibrant as mesh....it works exceedingly well.

Not me. About to go to the rink and sit in a pseudo heated pseudo cafe while the daughter skates.
I went out to dinner...now I'm home for the evening. Tomorrow night I have a vape meet/cloud comp to attend.....large amounts of money shall be spent. John from Wizard Mods and Fred from Death Modz both have goodies for me. People ADORE spending my money it seems.

yeah I thought it might have something to do with oxidation. I doused it with juice and set it on fire. What else can I do to fix that?

Proper oxidation only happens when the surfaces are dry. Torch the wick and coil with the wick in place. After that, do not move the wick anymore. Another thing to keep in mind is the Genesis mantra regarding wick diametre. The coil should "Hug it, not choke it"

Other than a few team get togethers, hanging out in the AU is the most social I've been with a group of people since college.
I am social in the course of what I do....but for entertainment purposes...I have the two vape shops I frequent, and that is it.

After dicking around with this AgaT2 for the last hour I've come to conclusion that genesis style RDAs are just stupid.

I loved mine...especially after U-Wicking it. As for the more recent generation....I also love my Sat-22s and my Oz22. Genesis atty's are not for everyone, that is for certain.
I don't want to try one because of what I read to be increased risk of leaking.

If you ever feel up to visiting the left coast, I'll help you spend it, too

I think my coil actually may be too loose. I may have used the wrong bit to build it. I'll probably have to do it all over tomorrow but sick of messing with it tonight, just want a vape without all that hassle. ;)

I bought won to have shipped with the Cloupor T8 I won from Cigabuy. Figured for $16 with free shipping, it was worth taking a shot.

Been frustrated as hell with the thing. Been leaking most times I fill it and prompts a "check atomizer" message probably 30% of the time.

Took it completely apart and been diagnosing the problem for a while today and here are the tips I have for you:

The positive pin holds the base and the liquid control ring together. If you liquid control ring is even a little tight, loosen the positive pin some.

The deck telescopes out from the base into a sort of rounded square area. Make sure it moves easily into and out of the base. If it doesn't try another o-ring and if that isn't any better, then take the base and the deck and sit down and peruse VU for a bit while you push the deck into and out of the base until the o-ring is broken in/down a bit.

Note that it is important for the liquid ring to move smoothly and with minimal effort so that you can tell that the liquid is actually cut off because it is a simple bit of plate pressing on plate to cut it off so even a small miss makes a mess and you have to do a lot of cleaning because of the way the air flow is designed it floods a surprisingly large air chamber under the deck that the positive "pin" goes through. The positive current is actually transferred through a small spring :eek:

I've just learned all of this today and haven't put it all together again yet because I'm a bit sick of it at the moment and think I'd rather leave it in pieces for a bit than risk the chance of failure... o_O
I will be messing with it this weekend, so i will make sure i make a note of those things. My juice shutoff does move freely in and out, so thats good i guess, if i have to many problems with it i can take it back and get in store credit.

Easier to just roll a thicker wick.
Yeah I guess that's the other problem, I only had so much mesh left, so the wick is too small and the coil is too big. On the other hand I got my dripper working perfectly so I'll just stick with that tonight.

I will be receiving one from Cigabuy in a few days from the contest as well....I may hit you up if I can't figure out how to put it together correct o_O Sounds like it's a pain

On a positive note I ordered a Smok Tech Extender Mech Mod from MyFreedomSmokes. They're having a huge sale and it was only $11 marked down from $43. Looking forward to that.

It will be first time in a while to try the kayfun again, "I have not really been a fan other than a black russian 91% that I still use. I just have not been to impressed with the flavor out of the kayfun :( I really been happy with the Squape lately, Lemo is not bad, I am still on the fence with that one. I hope they did something to make that v4 taste better :)
