I haven't read other's suggestions but IMHO, try using 2.5mm ID coils.
When I used 3mm ID coils (which most people recommended to me) I had the same problem you have with your Siren. Combined with fact that after those 40 puffs I would get nonstop dry hits.
My go-to Siren builds are :
26AWG Spaced Kanthal A1 6 wraps
30*2x38AWG 6wraps Ni80 Superfine Fused Clapton from VandyVape
28x40AWG SS316L 6wraps Clapton from Coilology
36AWG 3x2 fishtail braid Ni80 6 wraps (handmade) (I also tried 35AWG,34AWG and swapping the material for Kanthal, all work flawlessly, considering I use mechanical I enjoyed 34AWG Ni80 the most)
All on 2.5mm ID
Cotton I use is Puff organic cotton.

My goto tank, and the one I've been using 99% of the time the last 18 months or so, is the SXK Doggy Style. Have several with another on the way. And probably a few more as I'm concerned SXK may discontinue it with a new model out.

Anyway, it can get as tight as the Mini...give or take a bit. There are some recent releases, as well, that have a good mini like draw. Berserker, Berserker Mini, Galaxies RDTA are ones I've used. Haven't tried any newer ones.

I can vouch for the SXK Doggystyle too. It can go just about as tight as the Nautilus if you close the airflow to leave only the tiniest gap.

(And that's comparing with the Nautilus on its 1st or 2nd air intakes).
