Was always curious about trying out the Siam Mods Cobra, but could never find them in the US or UK.
Over a period of months, I purchased 6 authentics from Malaysia, and 12 really cheap clones (not the chintzy Chids that first came out) but almost 1:1 clones from a site that is akin to Fasttech. Anyway, i had better luck with the build deck of the clones, because the wick holes are machined just a hair larger than the 2.5mm size that the authentics are machined with. All of the clone and authentic parts are interchangeable.
This diameter of wick works great with the ~1.0-1.2Ω res that i prefer to vape with, yadayada.
My struggles with mesh gennys, esp the Cobras--were due to my failing eyesight. I was missing gaps that i had between the wick and coil. I use drill bit PetarK to build--so i prefer these attys vs the direct wrap Next series--though i have gotten great vapes off of all of my gennys.
Have used DiDs but prefer the Cobras. Cobras tank section/build deck/ center post is one solid spool, thus very little assembly of the atty required.
DiD has separate parts. Both vape pretty much the same, tho i prefer a thinner wick. I drilled out my airhole too much for the DiDs for my liking. If I can find a way to repair the airholes--i will take the DiDs out for another spin.
Rite now i have been going with ~62mm 400 mesh rolled to fit a 2.5mm coil. 6/5 30g nichrome 80. I also coil with 32g or 30g kan. I have a to-go rig that is 32g kan that i have been running for a stupid long time. Never have to even clean,lol.
PulseVape--long time lurker. I am a fan of your posts, they make me belly-laugh. How is the Calibre? I saw Todds reviews on that atty.
Pics of my Cobras, and clone of the Monas. I like Xtra Mile and i hope that they put out more gennys
