Ok so far no leaking, no gurgling, no dry hits from the snail. The deck can fit big builds but is a bit tricky if you like 5 wrap contact coils - the angle of the deck combined with how far apart the screws are means you kind of have to bend one or both coil legs to get it sitting straight without it stretching out. Small thing but worth mentioning.
The flavour's good but the coil sits lower/further away from the drip tip than the Xeta. It's early days - only 2 builds in on the snail - but so far I'd say I get slightly better flavour from the Xeta.
The snail wide open has heaps of air - a bit more than the Xeta wide open.
The huge plus for the snail is the design that lets you remove the deck and re-wick or change a build without emptying out the tank like you do with all boro based rbas. It's so convenient. Means I won't put off re-wicking so much like I tend to do with Xetas etc.
