I took the Gene apart again ... and looked at my silicone and wires ... all is good.
but played a bit with the exit temp of the Gene (not mine) ... stuck it down farther ... Interesting.

If you insert the probe further into the canal ... your temp readings go up by about 10- 15 degrees .. I used to hit first crack at about 460 - 465 but now my temps read 470 - 480 ... so I grabbed it with a pair of hemostats after taking out the glass drum ... it is right in the middle of the exit port and pushed it back up .. now my temps are more in line with what they "should" be from the factory.

I played with the probe when i was putting the data logger in ... took it out and reinserted it .. .then pushed it in further just to see and it changed my temp reading ... would rather have it read lower than higher as the exit flow temp is what apparently controls the heater.

Interesting to play with ... Wonder if they have factory standards and run the gene to make sure all of them leave with the same temp readings ...
