If this is of the same quality as previous models this will put a lot of people into a really good vaping experience for less than some of the other clones out there.
I know zero about this until I receive it but I will report on it when I get it.

Sadly, it's not. It is a clone of a clone and all the sizes are different, threads, tank size, mouthpiece, everything is just a bit bigger.

"You get what you pay for" comes to mind. I have some machining experience, and CNCing Stainless is generally not cheap, even in China.

Any Ody clone that is in the 50-60 USD range is a fair price in my opinion. I know we're all on a quest to get the best for the least, but I think this is close to the limit.

The "cheapies" have already spawned from Odys: Vivi novas look a *lot* like tiny versions of Odys in many ways to me. :) Hopefully the extra parts may turn out to be of use?

Obviously just my opinion :)

Does the clone work well enough for the low price point? I've been eyeing it, and the Ody, but I couldn't shell out the full cash for the real atty.

Mine works beautifully. They can be challenging to set up the first time, and some are a bit temperamental, but all that's true of the original Odysseus that it's based on. It's really a pretty nice piece of work.

I have the Terminator and the Terminator-C. They replicate the original Odysseus to the point of having all the same problems that the original has. Once you work around those problems, it's a really good vape. The best I've experienced so far. I can't speak for the other clones, since I don't own them.

Anybody else here have the Terminator-C and notice there is almost always a large air bubble visible between the base of the mouthpiece and the side of the tank where the tank sections meet? It seems like the base of the mouthpiece is wide enough to inhibit the flow of juice from above the mouthpiece base to the coil area/the flow of air from the coil area to the top of the tank. I can't help but think this causes the juice to lurch around inside possibly causing pressure changes that induce flooding when the juice control is open; which is a problem I've been experiencing.

Yeah mine does that too with the air bubble. However it isn't causing me any problems even with the juice control open 24/7

Hmm, OK. Thanks for the feedback; I definitely don't want to start modifying the mouthpiece or ordering a different one from team rampage or something if that's not the source of my problem.

@ LucidAce, aren't you the one that was having a problem with the "top cap" not fitting properly into the "tank top"?
Every time I get a flooding problem and it's not simply the liquid control being open too far, I always find that o-ring on the mouth piece is the culprit, I can't say if it wrinkles or dust or dried juice ect, but I disassemble that part ,clean and lube it and I am good till next time.
I'm having only an occasional problem with that and it generally occurs when screwing the mouth piece towards the closed direction, I can fell the drag from the dry fit.
I would have commented sooner but in the process I discovered the thread for the Oddy clone coop and got glued there for 45 pages. I didn't know it was even there.
