I've got a setup on my GTUS right now that is about as close to chain-vapable as I've had, I can get 4-5 big hits in before it goes dry when running VG juice. I'd just copy that setup over, but it wouldn't work the same since that one is a bottom coil and the Cobra is a top coil design. I may still translate parts of it over one of these days.
My problem is the setups that work best are open hole setups. But even that setup was iffy. Back to the lab I guess.
I had a top coil issue today. Took it off, flipped the wick. Luckily the bottom half was smoother and that's the working wick/coil I have now. It's a good thing. I don't even have 400 left. If this wick goes south, I'll have to clean it and re-roll it.
Hopefully, we'll both be singing the praises of 500 soon!
I like that it's set up with multiple holes so we have options. Dual wick does sound pretty tempting.
You're miles ahead of me for RBA experience. I look forward to coming back to the thread and finding you've nailed the solution for all of us!

You're doing great with all you're testing and stuff. You have any 325 as a "just in case?" It's still better than nothing.
Miles ahead. Well, this does just go to show you that EACH device is different. I think I'm going to take that solid wick and unroll it some and trim off a little. I had about 82-83mm on it. My fingers just cannot tighten that up anymore. And it's TIGHT in the hole. I'm almost thinking if I take that down to about 70-75mm to start with, it should leave a slight gap around the wick. I'm not sold that one screw out is helping.
Today is Friday. And tonight will be that experiment.
Wow, you guys were busy while I was at the doctors yesterday!
I hope everyone is dialing in their perfect vape!

Oh I'm dialing. But it rings good for a bit and then rapid busy. Hope visit went well
Yeah, versatility was one of the things that appealed to me about the Cobra. Dual wicks are interesting, but they're also twice the headache getting them set up
Wicking is not so good for me, now. It was great at first, though was going through juice pretty fast (half the tank in less than 2 hours last night, I usually vape 4-5 ml in a whole day so that's fast for me). Once it got to the halfway mark, my wicking performance has gone to the dogs
Not sure what the deal is, I'll have to open it up and investigate further now that I'm home for the night
yankeebobo, what size are you cutting your mesh to? I hope i have time this weekend to mess with the cobra, but i probably wont. Its just sitting there brand new tempting me
I had it at 80mm, 7/6 wrap with 28 AWG. Had a 1ohm coil. 3V was the place to vape this chocolate peppermint altoid at. It just wasn't wicking. It was TIGHT into the wick hole. It vape ok for a day or so.
Tonight, I unraveled some. Cut a tad over 1/2 in (13mm) and refolded the edge. Retightened the wrap and recoiled 7/6, same as above. Still 1 ohm, at about 3V. Been vaping steady for about an hour. Only vaping the cobra. Some chain vapes, some time in between and back to a few chain vapes.
So now the #500 mesh is cut to 67mm.
Side note....I did try 32 AWG and had it at 3.7v, but it was way too harsh. It's not necessarily the setups fault. Have you ever imagined vaping a chocolate covered altoid? It hits by itself.
For the record, this 67mm just happened to be what was left after simple subtraction. I'd probably round down to 65mm.
I really am getting plumes of vapor now. Even more than with 80mm. I firmly believe the wick hole needs SOME space around the wick. At barely there, but removing 13mm is something. I'll monitor this setup now

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with cobra issues. Mine tastes like poop! Burnt poop! Lol
Oh it's only a matter for me of finding the right setup for this device. The other setups I use don't work on the cobra. Gotta find the right nitch.
And you will get there too.
Btw, I'm saying what TODAY'S experiment brought. Lets see how this one holds up. AND I can see certain juices tasting worse than others.
Yeah my new juice sucks I think, RBA or not. I am going to try a wick without oxidizing it to see what that's all about.

Without oxidizing it? I think you're about to find out what it's all not about haha
Please point me to a discussion talking about using non-oxidized wicks
I can't remember one person that doesn't oxidize at all. Some jack frost only. I can't not oxidize because I short, E out on provari, or blow a Paps spring.
I know, right!? Sounded weird to me too but a few members in the iHy thread were swearing up and down about it. I figured it would be worth a shot I guess.
Well, think about the hotspots and shorts that occur before you nudge the coil. When you nudge the wire, you are moving it from an area that's not oxidized as much/enough to an are that is.
I don't see how your atomizer could function without oxidizing because ss mesh is conductive so something has to be done to it or the coil.
I guess Im going go check out that thread to see what they're on about.
