To agree with a couple of the above.

The cigalike uses a cartomizer while the EVOD uses a bottom coil. Your mouth is closer to the heating coil with the cigalike and you'll get a warmer vape. You can get clearomizers with a top coil that are a bit warmer than the EVOD, but in my experience, they don't feed juice as well, particularly thicker, higher VG juice.

Kanger often uses 2.5Ω coils and their coils often measure a bit higher than the rating. These need higher voltage from a Twist, Spinner, or APV to get sufficiently hot. For non-variable voltage eGo-style batteries or mechanical APVs, try their 1.8Ω replacement head.

Make sure you're comparing the same nicotine content in both devices.

If you don't have the engraved resistance my question would be does the base of the evod have kanger tech evod laser etched on to it? I haven't tried an evod clone before only the kanger tech branded ones but for my CE's I can't stand my cheap clones or even my smok CE but I love my visions CE.

Hmm..... seems I may have a clone. nothing on the coils, only two air holes, the windows in the clearomizer doesn't line up with the battery button and no laser etching. that kind of irks me considering I bought it from my local vapor station under the impression it was the real thing.

The AW IMR 18350 is rated for 6A continuous. Spec sheets complete with charge/discharge curves are Google-able. You don't HAVE to go by word mouth alone.

.7 ohm plus internal resistance won't exceed 5A. Far from a great vape, and not for very long, but doable. Even with no internal resistance, it's right at spec for that battery, for the brief moment it puts out 4.2V.

Maybe that's the dirty little secret you don't see mentioned much. The internal resistance grows with current draw, maybe to where it's self-limiting and doesn't need external protection. I'm making that part up... I'd like someone to show that it's wrong.
