Most of you know that I love my gennys....but I realise that in some parts they are seen as yesterdays attys, and people think they have been made obsolete by more modern atomisers.
I use them simply because, for me, the vape you can get from a properly set up genisis atty with a decent mesh wick, is second to none for flavour, usability and long life coils and wicks. I still have gennys that I wicked and coiled over 18 months ago, and still vaping great today. Get em hot and dunk under the hot tap and its good to go again..
Who here is still using these attys, and if you are, what do you use and why do you use them?

nextasis + nextiny clones, the wick , esp with doughnut king, in anything silica/cotton gets manked to the point of uck taste after 4-6ml , ok so the juice goes Darker in the next's but a glow and blow on a refill is less faff than rebuilding a cotton tank,, ease of use with manky coil killer juices for me and they work Very well flavour wise with menthol ,, IF you like uber cold menthol

I've been vaping with gennys for over four years now, I think it's hard to beat the flavour you can get from a good mesh built genesis atty. And talking about the Aga-T2 I haven't used them in ages they just sit in my vape draw feeling lonely, but I still use my 2 Aga-S as I get a better favourable vape from them.

I have an inax clone taht gets blasted daily. Also have a next gen that gets the odd toot. And then theres the nahulanoonan or however its spelt, gets a blast once in a while but the draw on it is so tight.

Here's a list of mine... G-Tank by sturm x 3 Hellfire 22mm x 1 Nahual x 1 Nahualon x 2 G22 by Frost Mods x 1 Gkmf 22mm x 1 Nextgen x 2 Minigen x 1 Aga-T x 2 Aga-S x 2 I also had a few others but those have since been passed on to others or sold. But the one's I have I will be keeping because unfortunately genesis atty's are no longer as popular as they once were and so only a few new ones pop up now and again. It seems that the majority of vapers want a simple easy and quick set up, and I can fully understand that. But back in the day when I started vaping, the genesis atty was king, and there were very few tanks about, if you wanted a cotton build then of course you had a rda's or a carto stuck in a tank, and sticking cotton in a genesis atty was a mortal sin. But as many genesis uses will know, the vape that you can get of a good mesh wicked genesis atty is very hard to beat. Thank goodness I was one of the lucky one's who was around when genesis atty's rules the roost.

Currently a Dome with a 2.5mm wick made with 400 mesh. 5 turns of AWG 30 kanthal. Also still have a Kraken that gets some use. There's something about a mesh wick that's hard to beat when it's built properly

I have never vaped a Genisis atty but do have one still in it's box that I bought some time ago in a b+m sale. It's a kraken but through a combination of laziness and lack of knowledge of this type of atty it remains unused. Could anyone link me to a good tutorial in how to best set it up as it's about time I gave it a go. Those of you in the know how would you rate the Kraken as a genisis atty, will I be starting with an awkward one to use?

I am sure those with a Far better understanding of gennies will be able to advise better sarah For me the nextiny / nextasis are the easiest to build Aga t series are easy as is the rsst Nahualon being a git bag but if you like golf ball / hosepipe its outstanding flavor wise
The next series being a central wick makes adding the coil a lot easier than having to work around the + ve post I find and they are the least liable to leak genny I have found ,,, he's a genny you can lay on its side without the genny seep ! And no need to tilt-n-vape to make sure the wick is in juice

I still use my Kraken mate, its a good genny, lots of taste and not too hard to build. You tube has lots of build videos for these, and i have linkd Todds one below here. I use SS Rope in mine with 3 wraps of 200 mesh on top of it to wrap the coil round, and it works superbly well. Good luck with it, Iam sure you will enjoy using it..

The best advise I got about making a wick mesh was from one of the nicest and most genuine reviewers I have watched, Mr Scott Bonner, AKA igetcha69. Here's a link for the list of genesis atomisers he has reviewed.

Those of you in the know how would you rate the Kraken as a genisis atty, will I be starting with an awkward one to use? Just take your time and make sure and work out all hotspots. At first it can take a while to get the coil right but it's worth it in the end. Patience is key when learning to build any genesis. A good tip I got in the beginning was to make the coil first and fit it, then make the wick to fit the coil. That made it a lot easier to get the coils spaced properly and glowing properly.

And another link for you and this is an old one, back in the day's of a AGA-T, the page takes you to one of Phil PBusardo pages where he explains in good detail the aspects of building with a mesh wick.

Peace, SC HI SC, will look forward to seeing those...love some of the older style Genesis attys. I find them interesting, unlike most of the modern tanks which all seem to be small variation on a theme.. thanks.....

I found it easy to build, but taff is the chap when it comes to mesh. It was considered a cloudy atty at the time, and gives great flavour especially with a dual build. It also wicks really well compared with the other gennys I've had.

Thanks for the images...that coil looks great.. haven't used 400 mesh for yonks...
Thanks for the comment about what happened in London... It was bound to happen one day and was surprised it took so long to get here after what has happened in Europe.

Genesis atty's that don't leak on me are the G-Tank by sturm the Nahual and Nahualon and finally the Nextgen, and I'm sure they are plenty more out there that don't leak in you when the are laid down. You missing out on a good mesh vape by not having any.
