I'm trying to dip my toes into the genesis style rba's so I picked up a DID clone.
I'm not exactly sure what gauge the kanthal was they sent and I don't know much about the SS mesh that was included either, but after watching several reviews/tutorials I decided to give it a shot.
I blew through the ENTIRE pack of coil trying to get it to work. Just about every time the top coil would glow brightly before popping and I'd start again. I'm suspicious of the nuts that hold the coil to the post not making a great connection but I'm truly lost.
The one time I was able to successfully get the coil to glow evenly and look like it should, I used the drill bit method, tested it and pushed the wick through. As soon as I did that, same result.
I realize I'm not the first to have this issue, but I can't find many useful results using ECF search for "DID clone coil". As it turns out I'm out of coil - I still have some mesh, but I imagine since the clone was so cheap, neither of these are the best quality, so I'm open to replacement coil/mesh suggestions as well.
