Was pretty excited about getting this but....
The first thing I noticed is wow it's really light. So I open the package and take it apart and wonder wow is this actually metal? There is really not much about this thing that doesn't seem cheep from the threading to the to tank being out of round. The center post has the air hole at the top instead of on the sides like the nova. You do have to use a syringe to fill it which is no biggy really but I still don't see how they can say it holds 5 mill's unless they count the seepage on the top side of the coil "housing". So anyway I filled my syringe to 3 mill's and that was all the lower tank would hold. Put it on an old stick battery (thank god) and took it to work. On the ride to work it did seem to vape well even though the drip tip is pretty huge and it's a lot like hitting a .... lol. On taking my first break of the day I go out to the car and grab it from where I had set it in an upright position. I noticed juice on the sides upon further investigation It had leaked out the bottom not a little but a lot. I hope my experience was a fluke but I will be returning this for a refund lol.

I have to agree with most of what you said. It only holds about 3ml, it is very cheap feeling, the tank is slightly out of round with the top cap, and it is a pain to get the wicks down in the small holes when assembling it. However, I have had absolutely no leaks.

When I first got mine, I wasn't expecting too much. It is a very low cost tank so I kept my expectations to a minimum. At first, I had a lot of dry hits, and I was just about to toss it. Then I let it soak for awhile and tried it again. You know, it has actually been performing very well. Flavor is very crisp and clean, and as I mentioned, I haven't had even one drop leak out.

It is a step above a Vivi in flavor. I think I got my money's worth. I agree the neck is a bit large, but a 510 drip tip will fit inside quite nicely.

You are 100% correct though. It is cheap in every way, but I am enjoying it. It seems to work very well on low voltage devices too.

Being stubborn and persistent and resisting the temptation to throw it out the window, it seemingly started working well after about a day. Had frequent dry hits at the beginning, then less and then pretty smooth vaping. It does leak a little, but nothing major and it's something you either love or hate. I keep it around as a spare and probably a give-away in time.
