RSST Genesis vs Cobra Genesis

[bear2249]

Having just received my KFL ive realised that spending that bit extra can be worth it.

So im now wondering if its worth spending the extra on a Cobra Genesis to replace my RSST.

Any one got any thoughts?



cheers

Looks like ill soon find out. Just won one on the bay

Did you buy a clone or an original bear2249? The original is a really nice chunk of metal and glass, its made of titanium, smaller diameter than the RSST and the wick holes are smaller requiring a thinner wick, the draw is very tight which means giving it a long more gentle toke, but the resultant vape from it tends to be more mellow and rounded than the RSST or the aga-t for example. Definitely my favourite genny even though its 120quid new, I don't think I'd pay that but their used prices are well well worth it

The genuine Cobra is great for flavour, du to the small chamber, not so
Great on the tight draw, but that's easily fixed.
The wick hole is not only a lot smaller but also threaded and uninsulated so
Takes a fair bit of skill to get setup.
I love mine but do find the 3ml tank a touch on the small side.
I'd second the looking for a used one, they pop up on a regular bassis
And if you don't like it you can always pass it along.

Its a genuine one and cant wait for it to come.
If the genuine one is better than the RSST clone then im in for a treat as the RSST is good and after ive just cleaned it and rewicked it again its even better

The postman and me are going to be good friends at the rate this vape mail keeps coming.

Congratulations, bear2249

The Cobra is an excellent well made Attie, but no way near as easy to get going as a RSST, but with a lot of patience you can guarantee yourself a very good vape.

Try put down. Have a vape

Its the way to go till its right. Ill just make sure the KFL is full before i start

Why is the wick hole threaded?

I'm struggling a bit to see how the taste on the cobra can be different from the RSST? Can someone who understands these things explain it to me? Something to do with the airflow I suppose, as the setup for the wick is about the same.
You could say the same for any gennie atty though, build quality and lightness I get, obviously, but taste, I've always wondered.


Btw, a genuine cobra (from Singapore ) available on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cobra-Genesis-rebuildable-atomizer-for-eGo-510-Stainless-Steel-Drip-Tip-/380715971371?pt=UK_Collectables_Tobacciana_Smoking_LE&hash=item58a470b32b

Not sure how the taste works but ive had clearos and cartos that have different tastes but look the same

So have I, but I presume that is normally down to the airflow and wick, the wicks on the gennies are how you build them and should be the same. I'm getting muddled now, but I have wondered how different the gennies are to each other in taste.

I suppose I take for granted that some clearos and cartos taste different, but for some reason I think differently about gennies.

The vape from the cobra compared to the RSST is much smoother and feels more dense in the mouth, I think perhaps because it needs a longer more gentle draw might contribute to the enhanced flavour maybe, maybe not? The top cap is very thick walled, it takes a short while as a unit to warm up but once it gets going it really is a great vape, the thick wall means its silent, no hiss of the airflow or sound of the juice popping. There's no logic i can think of as to why it gives a better vape but it does IMHO, that said its not for everyone as is and a lot of people drill the air hole out for an increased airflow
