Just purchased one, review to come - I'll even make a full video wrapping coils, etc.

For $35.00 w/ free shipping, how picky can you be? $215.00 vs. $35.00

Depending on how I like the design of this one, may push me to buy the OG one of COV.

Great, looking forward to your video!

I just pulled the trigger on one of these.
Just received the Oddy from Fasttech. Wanted to wait and see if it was any good first. Set it up really quick with the supplied wick and coil and swapped a couple of O-rings as most suggest. What can i say? This thing vapes good! Almost as good as a well set up Gennie, by almost, I mean REALLY close. No leaking, or gurgling once set means I can carry this one around unlike a gennie.
Most reviews say that the Ithaka clone is much better than the Oddy - if that's true, it's gonna be a right result!

I got mine and got chance to compare it with my friend's genuine Ithaka.

Similarities:

The weight and quality is pretty damn close. We didn't try swapping parts, but he did say that the threading was pretty decent. There as nothing crooked and everything fits as it should. Even the plastic tank was almost indistinguishable from the real deal. Performance is on par.

Differences:

The small bottom O-Ring near the base of the 510 connector is smaller and cheaper. However, the bottom O-Ring is also meant to be placed closer towards the wicks, which justifies the smaller O-Ring. We had a little trial and error setting it up - since he was used to his method (helped us reveal these small differences).

The mouthpiece is more cylindrical rather than conical/tapered.

Conclusion:

There have been some .....ty clones out there (like the Sentinal), but this is not one of them.
