Digi flavour siren 2 or coppervape skyline?

Why not vape both?
The Coppervape Skyline clone suffers the same "tightening" problems with the juice control. As pointed out changing the outer o ring to a smaller diameter one does help as does some pg to lubricate it. I would just like to add there is another o ring that can cause the juice control to be become tight which is often overlooked.
This one the small inner o ring. If after lubricating the outer o ring it is still tight try a bit of pg on the inner o ring.
Just thought I would mention it.

Hmmm...I have a Coppervape Skyline clone and someone better come show me the magic secret to getting it to produce flavour. I've done a million coils, got good wicking, and yet crap flavour. Dying for a proper MTL setup, but I'm not getting there.
@SinnerG maybe try posting on the Skyline Coppervape Discussion thread for advice -

I just got mine and it is great, only been vaping it for about 4 hours, but cannot put it down. Can you maybe post a picture of the build and wicking and one of the guru's can give some advice. Paging @antonherbst and @Silver , they will definitely be able to give you some advice.
However much cotton your using, half it. Minimal wicking is the key.
Thanks for the tag @Room Fogger
I am far from a guru on the Skyline though. Only made a few coils and have only vaped fruity menthol juices in restrricted lung mode.
I agree with @Strontium , less wick is better
I have had a simple 2.4mm ID coil in my Skyline for a long time. Only recently tried the Vandyvape fused clapton wire but i do it the same.
Here is a picture of my setup
I dont do anything special. I think around 2.5mm ID gives the right amount of wick to fill the juice channels without making it too tightly packed.
Has worked very well for me so far. But i have not tried MTL. I am doing a restricted lung with no airdisk (these days) and full airflow.
I have been meaning to try the Skyline in MTL mode but havent got there yet. Am enjoying the crisp and pure flavour of the fruity menthols in lung hit mode too much.
Perhaps @DaveH can chip in here. Dave, arent you on MTL with your Skylines? Anything special you doing with the setup for MTL?
@SinnerG , one last question, what juices are you vaping for MTL?

Hi, Yep MTL and only MTL. No air disc and one air slot fully open.
I use 26g Kanthal wire, 2.5mm ID 8/9 turns gives approximately 1.1 Ohm. Slightly spaced.
Using cotton bacon V2. My only attention to detail regarding the wicking is to make sure it fully covers the juice holes.
Sometimes it is tight-ish in the coil sometimes a bit loser. Seems to make very little difference. When I say tight-ish it is still possible to pull the cotton through the coil.
I'm a bit 'rough and ready' at wicking, the tails are very rarely equal and if one seems a little long I just poke it down harder. (No finesse)
I vape between 12.5 and 14 Watts. I like cool vapes.
One of the reasons (I think) this tank is so flavourful one can match the size of the air inflow over the coil using the different sized air discs to match the length of the coil. This is why I don't use an air disc, the slot is nearly the same length as the coil.
My setup looks identical to @Silver 's except my coil is slightly longer (1.5mm)

I did try to take a couple of photos but it seems my camera (or me) isn't too good on the close ups. I'll try again tomorrow in the day light.

It is 'loose' but still quite flavourful.

There wil be a new procedure in my house tonight, closing the juiceflow on the Skyline! I am on tank 3 for the afternoon and can still not believe how smooth this tank is. Everything is just perfect. Just had to share my joy.

@SinnerG, @DaveH and @Silver.
Just recoiled one of mine. It had the airdisk with the 3 small holes in, which gave too tight an airflow for me. Replaced it with one with two biggish holes. Much better. Airy MTL. Manipulating the air slots do not make much of a difference for me. Decided to go with Vandy Vapes's superfine fused clapton Ni80 this time. Six wraps on a 2.5 mm mandrel gave me 0.8 ohm. Vaping at 18W. Wicked with Royal Wick, but Cotton Bacon V2 works as well. As @DaveH says wicking is fairly forgiving.
Filled it with a clone of Bombies Black Out City, which some of the members here might remember - cold, tart blueberry limoncello. Glorious.

Am so happy for you @Room Fogger
It's so great when that happens
Enjoy it
This coil is 26g Kanthal about 4 weeks old, gives a reading of 1.1 Ohms on a Pico. Slightly spaced (Well it was when I made it)
Side view
Cotton inserted. Pushed - pulled in and cut nothing special.
Cotton tucked in. Just 'poked' in with a small screwdriver.
Top view
Side view. Notice the juice holes don't line up with the coil. Nevertheless I do make sure the juice holes are 'blocked' by the cotton.
Juice it up, put it together and we are ready to go.
Now there's a pretty picture .............. reminds me of me

This one is off the guardian tank.
Similar to the Nautilus one, with this one I had to cut off that bottom tube.
Dave
The two drip tips do look similar.
The Nautilus is on the left.
