Sup guys....got my first dripper and mech in today, kamry k100 (no laughing) and an hcigar omega clone. Building on this is a pain! Any tips or constructive criticism? All much appreciated. Gif is my vape, fresh 4.19v battery, dual coil 0.8 ohm build on two 12 wrap 28ga coils on a 5/64ths bit. My normal vape is a russian with 1.2ohm 28ga coil 1/16th bit.

First let me say my omega is my favorite rda, but it takes time to gain that love. It's a ....* to build on at first.
1.) Make sure your coils are identical and placed in the same spots to provide an even vape.
2.) Run wire thru the hole on the negative post and wrap the other side around the screw on the positive. Ease of build and easier instalation without deformed coils.
3.) Line them up in front of the air holes more. Dry burn and then grab them with tweezers and adjust slowly to perfect the position.

Hope this helps at least some. Here is one of my builds.

my tip would be to get a different RDA, TBH

that was my first as well, and it is the most annoying RDA I have

-hard to build (high, fixed walls; post holes too small; hollow posts make threading the wires a PITA). IMO the holes in the negative posts are too much of a pain to even use - I wrap the negatives around the screws

-can't manipulate the air holes

-the "muffler" drip tip that comes with it is terrible

I got bigger clouds, with 1/10th the effort, on my helios - the first time I built it - even though I had the *pleasure of building the Omega maybe 40 times

My clone doesnt have holes in the posts (BIG PAIN). My holes are also different than yours, much closer to the neg. Posts, only option i had was to slant them about 30 degrees going up. Maybe i will get a helios LoL

I have an Omega clone by EHPro and love it for the most part. Found it easy to build on as my IGO W. I have several others as well including the IGO-M, TABH, Patriot, and Stillare all clones except the IGO's. The Omega if not the biggest cloud maker it is sure in the running with the others. Now taste would be the IGO-W with the 2 piece Halo Top cap taking it to 22mm and a chamber very close to the TABH in looks.

I love my omega...but since I've kinda tossed my kayfuns to the side, I need drippers with larger capacities.. I'm stuck on my magmas or origen.

I have the yeahsmo(I always forget the spelling of that one) version.. Airflow isn't centered, pretty close to negative posts. I seem to have settled on diagonal builds with it. I haven't figured out which orientation is better.. I've been using positive for post holes, and negative at screw heads..so wick isn't choked out by negative post..

Wide bore drip tip is a must with this dripper... if you fill it up with the little bit it can hold with drip tip off, it will spit out liquid putting drip tip back on..

Looks like you got one coil in the juice well. I'd take some angle out and get coils closer to AFC. Other than that looks like you got the right idea.

This better? I packed more pillow cotton...holding 25 dros now instead of 10.. lol. Raised the coils to level with top.of well

I do get a great vape from a fully charged vtc4 or an orbotronic I vape a full work day, 10 hours. I change it right before I leave. I love dual 26g micro's or nano's. For this atty to have such large open air holes it has great flavor all the time. Only build I had that disappointed me was a "fun" not adv build of 20g and 22g. Negative. I carry my omega and caravela every single day. No complaints here.
