Hey guys!

So I got my omega clone a few days ago but its not producing the same vapor. So I did a test, my igo-w at .3 ohms and Omega at also .3 ohms using the same gauge wire, same build everything, took a hit on the same mod at about 3 secs hit each time but my igo-w is making WAYYY more vapor than my omega. all my screw are tight everything looks good but idk how i can improve that or is that just one of the bad sides of getting a clone? And i used a newly charged VTC5 on my Sir Lancelot to test these.

Thanks!

Recheck your build, your connection points, your coil height.

3ohms is 3 ohms and if All things are the same the vape will be the same as it was. Something has changed.

It likely has nothing to do with it being a clone.

And you cannot compare what it did and now does by using anything else..............except a multimeter:D

If you are trying to say it never worked like the IGO........well they are different and the build needs to be done different. Coil to air hole alignment can make a huge difference. Both in Vapor and Flavor.

Comparing an authentic product to to a clone of the same product might net you some valid results. Saying that two different drippers are producing different results is expected. Otherwise everyone would be using an IGO. Saying that the air holes on clones don't line up is also a bit silly. The air holes on yours might not line up. I can see that as certainly possible. The air holes on mine are fine.

I suspect if it was an issue with the air hole alignment, you would likely be complaining of harshness. you probably want to compare the SIZE of the air holes. More air and more heat equal more vapor. May need to get out the drill if the stock air holes are too tight. Secondly, different drippers serve different functions. Some are cloud chuckers by design. Others, are intended to get you the best flavor. Everything is a bit of a trade off. I've never used the Omega, so i don't have any model specific tips. ;)

I was trying to explain that the omega clones have actually had problems with the air holes lining up. It was just a suggestion. Some are by the coil, some are directly on the negative post, and some are perpendicular with the positive post. It could have an effect on vapor production, so I wouldn't say it is silly to point out that it could be a possibility.

I have 3 Omega's
First one was a Manufacturer screw up. Holes beside Neg. Post. Returned for correction as did anyone with a lick of sense. Manufacturer stood by the correction.
I also have one with the Holes centered to the positive post. Best I've found bar none for a Quad Coil build. Kept that one.

Running dual coils,I place the coils near and slightly above the air holes.
