I owned a cobra and it was very nice good build quality good set of options for setting up wicks and relatively cheap never owned a zen but from the reviews I have seen they are over priced and build quality isn't a good as the cobra a far more informed view however can be found on ecigreviews not sure if the proper websight but if you just google that you will have no problem finding it

I have both a Cobra and a ZAP, and to be honest, I greatly prefer my ZAP.

No, the ZAP doesn't have all the wicking options of the Cobra, but I find that in a typical single-wick configuration, it just works better for me. I find the smaller wick hole and tight draw of the Cobra make it hard to get one to put out a decent amount of vapor and wick well without jumping through a few hoops.

Build quality on both is absolutely top-notch, but in my book the Z-Atty's win.

im glad to hear you like your cobra...for the price it should blow this aga out the water...this is my first ss rebuildable and im pretty happy with it and the price doesnt hurt the pocket...imma look into purchasing another rebuildable just to see what the difference is...thanks for your opinon!

Believe me I completely understand on the whole price thing. You know, another one you can try (if you wanna give rebuildables a spin) is the bulli-smoker. You can get one over at vaporcigzz.com. Granted, they aren't all that cheap (about 60 bucks or so) but compared to the Cobra? Phew. It's a different TYPE of rebuildable though. Personally I prefer the genesis atomizers with ss wicks but I have the bulli-smoker AT 2 and I enjoy it. It's just that I prefer the flavor of mesh over silica. I DID convert it into a genesis atomizer...but it just seems to be a pain. I just use it as was intended now. Still it's pretty nice.

yeah i completely understand...coming for a R tank wid a silica wick...you can really taste the silica when vaping...compared the SS mesh wick the flavor is bold and pure...thanks for the heads up...i might just stick with this AGA+ until i get a hybrid unit like the maciveli 350...looks very promising

I have a Zen Mini and to be honest my 20 dollar Did clone gives me the same flavor and clouds of vapor ,it just doesn't look as cool...I did take a round micro file and open up the air hole on the did clone ...that make a big difference in vapor production

ive heard Zen hybrids are the way to go...people always speak highly of them...maybe check one of those out once i get the money for it...bills are putting a hole in my pocket while typing this hahahaha...vape easy my friend!

Whichever you chose, remember that the differences between the Chinese knock offs, and the high end RBAs are build quality, machining, materials, and hardware, like screws, nuts, o rings, etc. Other than that, the quality of the vape is up to the builder. A $15 Chinese RBA can perform as well as a $150 RBA, if the wick and coil are built properly.

I've got 2 original all SS component DiD's, 2 Cobra's and a Zen ZAP, Both DiD's out perform Cobra's and ZAP, the Cobra's outperform the Zap, just my personal opinion for what it's worth. And of course the originals are all much better then the knockoffs always, again just my personal opinion.
