Just a heads up. Authentic on the Left, Clone on the Right, this is the back of the box, all other sides look identical:

I also have the packaging on the right side, however my authenticity code checks out "authentic" on wotofo site, however I feel like it's not authentic because I don't get any flavor out of the damn think like people rave about. How can I have wotofo send me a replacement? lol seriously though

I'm not sure you can, honestly, lack of flavor isn't really "warrantyable". Sometimes, people just don't get the same flavor experience regardless of build, it's weird. Unless you are certain you were accidentally sent a clone, then I think that would be quite difficult to do. You could probably sell it in the classifieds, if you are verified, and get a decent price for it, this is a popular tank.. With that said, that's if it's genuine....

Many things contribute to "flavor". Size of the coil, position of the coil in relation to the air holes, resistance of the coil, power applied to the coil, type of coil (normal, clapton, etc.), too much or not enough wicking in the coil, how open/closed you have the airflow, thickness and flavor of the juice, and more.

Personally I have a 4mm diameter coil of 26ga round SS316L (0.58 Ohms) in there with about a 10-12mm wide strip of Japanese cotton, positioned as low as possible, on a HCigar VT75 D mod using TC 25W/435F, vaping 65PG/35VG DIY Cool Wintergreen Juice and it's perfect. Of course if you change ANY of those parameters the quality of vape will change, and other things will have to also change to compensate. For any and all tanks it is a balancing act of getting all the parameters configured right...FOR YOU.

It is my personal opinion that as long as the air flow of a tank (ANY tank) can be adjusted so you can get the right tightness of draw, it is possible to adjust all of the other parameters to get a good vape you will enjoy. It just takes some trial and error to find it. It took me 3 or 4 builds to get this one right. It may take you more tries or less tries to find what you like. There is no tank that is going to be perfect with every possible build in it.

Funny how that works because I have to agree with Scott but my build is completely different other then us both using SS316L. The SMM produces some great flavor but I had to play with several builds before I found one that produced the vapor and flavor I was after and than be able to repeat it.

Mine is a 24ga 2.5mm 4 wrap that comes in at about .21Ω and I lift my coil until the top of the coil is just about even with the top airflow hole. Every build and RTA is going to be different and playing with the build through several tanks is damn near necessary. The Engine Nano was the one tank that came together pretty quick for me but the rest have all pretty much been practice makes perfect. Just play with it (the SMM) until you find your sweet spot. It really is a damn good tank.
