I'm sure plenty of people have done this, but I'm just sharing my build and seeing what you guys think.

So you watch a lot of reviews about the chinese VV/VW devices and how the push 1.5 ohms at 6v no problem. So I thought why not build a genesis to take advantage of it. I'm using two Efest 18350 batteries, in a sigelei zmax v2. The genesis is a cobra clone, biggest wick I can get. 7/8 wrap of 30 guage which brought me to 1.5 ohms, 50 50 blend of MBV Strawberry, all at 15 watts. Whew that was a long explanation.

Now the cobra clone isn't the best. Since the wick is a tight fit, yet still small, and the fill hole isn't huge, and it's a 50/50, I have to hold it above horizontal for a second and then vape it there. But. I will say that it has the same vapor as a .6 ohm dripper, and incredible flavor. I guess this is because it's a 7/8 wrap with 30 guage so the wick is completely covered, and at 15 watts it's great. I have not tried yet going passed 15 watts, by going to voltage and pushing it to 6 volts, plus I'm already having wicking issues, but it's a great vape. It also looks great, since all the chinese clone duds and chobras are 19 mm, the provari and zmax's all are 19mm as well

Just went to 6 volts with it, and it's reading 1.4 now. That is 25 watts. And it is rediculous. I can only take a 1 second hard pull and it's still blowing my head off. The batteries are not getting hot so that is good, but using this too much is causing the whole atomiser to get hot, which makes the device turn into a heat sink, making the top of the zmax get warm. Batteries are still cold though, they seem perfectly fine
