I ordered this cobra atty through Alba vapours. I paid 91 quid delivered. I used ukvapers discount code which I believe is ten percent. To order youve gotta first register, you can't just load the shopping basket and pay. It won't or at least wouldn't allow that for me. I believe my reply registration email was received the following day but this went to my junk email folder. Either way, that registration email doesnt get sent straight away. But Once registered you can order and pay. From then on its easy. Heres the photos.     I got her fired up no issues, first attempt. And that is what I wanted. After the cyclon, this is a breath of fresh air. As you can see the coil ain't great but its ok. It measured 1.5 ohms. The action shot doesnt ook that good in the photo, but she lets off plenty of vapour. And great taste. There was a slight block of the air hole with something, not sure what. But a cocktail stick cleared it. The draw for me is perfect. But I do like a tight draw. And it is tight. Very happy with this puppy. I can't get it to work on my sb though without the connector which is a shame coz it would look the dogs. , so I might next be looking into lowering that pin within the cobra, but not sure if thats possible. |

You can raise the centrepin in the SB Jay, use a cocktail stick and gently lever the centrepin from side to side for a while, this will raise it slightly, keep doing it and trying your atty till you get it to fire, frequently had to do this with the Silver Bullets.

Thanks luner, I'll try that as I dont wanna see a connector.
Well, this either drinks juice, or I've got a leak from leaving one of the little bolts out. To be honest I can only see a tiny amount of juice ontop of that cap by the coil. But I've put the bolt back in and see how it goes. Its tightened the draw further I believe. It really is a tight draw. But for me that is perfect. And it is giving a ton of vapour.

gennys do love to drink the juice Yeah, it dont leak. But your right gordy, he, and I do refer to this bad boy as a he! Does like to drink. Maybe I should call him olly, after oliver reed! Anyway, can anyone explain the different types of mesh that ive got here? Is there a difference between using the two? |

Ok, now question time. Was always gonna happen! Right, first, its drinking the juice quicker than I thought. Dont get me wrong, absolutely loving the vapour etc, but juice is money right! If I turn the little hole away from the wick, I know that will reduce vapour production, but will that reduce the amount of juice I use? Secondly, I love a tight draw, If I remove one of those bolts from inside will I be right in saying it wont leak. (as in scott setup in his video). Only despite loving the tight draw, maybe with all the bolts in, its maybe a little too tight for me. Thirdly, a u wick. Ok so I dont wish for more vapour, but... I just wanted to try it to see what its like. Roll the mesh and bend and shape, then heat? Or roll a long straight bit, then shape? Many thanks |

I dont recall ever seeing a video that used mesh in a u wick, only silica wick, but then still new, i do understand that alot of vapers prefer the 325 mesh, but not sure if thats related to using more or less juice or just the fact that it wicks better, probably the latter.

Todd did a video of making a ss mesh, bent wick for the vivi nova that i watched earlier.
I`ll see if i can find it..
He heated it after rolling it... then bent it into shape....
then once the right size and shape he just re-oxidised the centre piece where the coils attaches

It will wick even faster with a U wick Jayjay, you'll have vapour coming outta ya lugs and your juice will disappear even faster mate, but you'll like it Big fat U-wick in the Hellfire Mega, keep the button pressed and it would drain the tank in minutes.  |
