If it's good enough to vape. Probably.
If it learns flying after the first build. Probably not.
I'll definetly post pictures and my opinion.

Alright peeps.
My Orc is on the way. Stay tuned for pictures and first impressions.
Probably by end of the week.

Found this:
Orc by Cigreen - first impressions : electronic_cigarette
Seems to be a nice tank. I'm really looking forward.

Some first pictures.
I will write down my opinion later. Still trying to figure out how to get a good build on this thing.
EDIT:
Alright. I managed to get a build on it.
So what do I think about the Orc?
Well. I was close to throw it out of the window.
The building deck is a PITA. As you can see on the pictures the wireholes are in line what makes positioning the coil pretty hard. Especially the raised airholes mahe it even harder. The wireholes force you to get your coil as low a possible but your airholes force you to push it up. Additionally the airholes are closer to the chimney than they are to the posts.
So to get your coil centered you are very limited in your coils width although the depht of the deck would easily allow 3mm ID coils.
I tried to get a NI200 build in there (actually 5^^) but no chance for me. On my Cthulhu I fit a 14 wraps on 2.5mm ID in the deck without a problem.
Problem with Ni-builds is that the screws cut the wire pretty easy.
But that's pretty much the biggest con of the Orc.
Okay an RTA with a sucking build deck is kinda useless, isn't it?
Other cons:
- 1pc chimney - Not being able to access the wick after putting the chimney on isn't that great.
- Plastic tank: Without a TC build (so using the SS tank) it's hard to vape more aggressive liquids.
TBC with the pros.

Okay and now the pros:
- The Design: Okay it's basically an Orchid base with Kayfun-tank and Erlkönigin-topcap but IMO it looks really sweet
- Vapor: It produces a really nice amount of vapor.
- Flavor: On the spot.
- Airflow: IMO fully open it's still a bit restrictive. But it has the same airflow like a fully opened Lemo 2.
- Filling: The Erlkönigin topfilling is great. Super easy, leakless, perfect.
- Liquidflow: It just keeps up. It's actually the first topper I managed to run at 50W without dryhits.
Other things:
The Orc is kinda huge. Here a little size comparision:
The Orc - Eleaf Lemo 2 - Youde Goblin 2 - Cthulhu
What could be a negative for some people is that the driptip is not changeable. I don't mind because I often just use the driptip the topper comes with. BUT since the driptip is screwed onto the atty there is a very close connection which guides the heat pretty fast to the driptip. It get's hot really fast. So not really chainvape compatible.
Another con I forgot:
The positive 510-pin is not adjustable and sticks out quite a bit:
Fitting it flush on a box is really hard. I only got it plane on my Nemesis (mech).
I tried to M2L the Orc also and was really surprised. Non of the other attys I use atm gives me this good M2L vapes. Just the Orc. IMO even better than the Lemo 2.
Wicking was surprising for me. I watched a few videos how people wick the Orchid and found out that many of the let the cotton just touch the deck when using juices >50%VG. I use 70%VG and it leaked like crazy. Actually a bit of cotton should go into the juicechannels.
That surprised me because the juicechannels are really tiny. I'll post a picture of my build when I open the Orc up the next time.
Buy or not buy?
Decide for yourself. I wouldn't give it a clear thumbs up or down. Building is a real PITA. Or just another challenge.
For $15 you can't go wrong.
