Great comparison! As a reviewer myself, I know how hard it is to do totally unbiased reviews from a purely objective point of view, and I think you really hit the nail on the head.
That really is too bad about the Sidewinder though. Seems like there's a serious conductivity issue going on. Would you do me a favor and test the voltage of your battery both unloaded and under load in the Sidewinder, and then using the same battery, compare the results from an identical test using a Zenesis Mini. Thank you!

The issue is supposed to be fixed with a part offered for free from houseofhybrids.com .. unfortunately i did trade the sidewinder to a friend of mine.. After that video i did test the voltage to the coil and on a fully charged battery reading 4.18v i was getting 2.7v to the coil..
good review.....i cringe when i look at your coil and wick though.....but hey i don't use the stock wicks either....mine i can hold upright and fire all day and it wicks
2.7v? Thats horrible.... Kinda makes you wonder why he didn´t test them and identify the problem. Or if he did, why sell them with a problem like that.
What does the Zenesis Mini test at under load?

How do you set it up so you can test under a load? Would love to do it myself, any assist is appreciated.

Set your multimeter to test voltage, and then, while firing the coil in your mini (or any genesis device really), touch the red lead to the center post and the black lead to the ground screw (or any metal parts of mod besides for the + post).
Very nice, can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. Btw, I've really been digging your reviews man, keep it up.
Thanks brother.. that means alot from you man.. i have always enjoyed your reviews.. Although it may be a an unfair follow up as the one i bought has had every contact and spring in it replaced with brass and it also has a replaceable tank so it can take a clear fused quarts with standard open or tight draw zen cap OR the stock ss tank and locking top cap..
Basically its modded to perfection which is what it should have been in the first place.. perfect You can see in my sig i call it the

Thank you, I'm glad you like em! Hopefully gna film and upload my Temon review later tonight, but I might be a little burnt out from the midterm I'm about to take xD
The modifications you've made sound legit man! I'm sure that upgrading the contacts to brass made a significant difference in the overall performance, especially compared to how it originally came. It's too bad that Zen is so opposed to offering brass contacts with his devices. I get it if he's hesitant to have any brass within the vapor chamber due to the possible health concerns, but the center pin (within the battery tube) and button contact should definitely be brass.
