Default Pandora mandrell size?

I read here often, and still am confused. For Troll, Panodora, is the correct mandrel size 3/32, or 5/32?

5/32" works single dipped for Troll, but you need to double-dip a 5/32" for Pandora, to fit over the thread. (Either that or I have really, really thin bead release.)

I use 4 mm mandrel, but then I make the hole bigger until the silver core fits with a diamantdrill. When you don't have a drill, u have to use a 5 mm for the pandora.

5/32" either double dipped or reamed out a little with a dremel. Or 3/16". They work perfectly.
