I must say I rather like the look of the Omni but the fact I can't use my own drip tips annoys me and I don't know why they do this... but problem fixed! I now have my own drip tip installed and it fits just fine.
Initial impressions are the flavour is great... dual coils are not normally my thing but this is a really good tank for flavour! More after I have spent some time with it.

@Amir I'm not a fan of dual coils at all but I have to say this is a very interesting tank from a flavour point of view... @BigGuy was spot on about the great flavour. I'm going to take it out and about today (along with my Billet Box's) and see how it does out in the wild and how long it will be before I have to refill... which I think will be quite often based on the enhanced flavour I'm getting from it.
Have spent about a month with this RTA and I have it in daily use. Looks awesome, feels solid, very nice deck which is simple to work with and wicking is a pleasure. I have never had a single leak or dry hit issue, the wicking seems to be very forgiving. In terms of looks and performance this RTA is incredible and the flavour is outstanding.
From the Grimm Green first review on it he really is seeing it for the first time so althought his name is on the box its just a marketing tactic but I dont really care. Another reviewer mentioned that this has exact designs of parts from certain Wotofo products which I haven't used. He was quite convinced but I don't know if this is true. Interestingly though, the package did include spares in a little black and red packet with a COMP WIRE label which happens to be the identical one that Wotofo supplies with their products. So there seems to be some Wotofo going on somewhere, but the looks are worlds apart. COMP WIRE packet but no wire at all included.
The airflow ring comes off when trying to unscrew the tank. The threads are very disappointing especially in this price category. I'm told the threading is finer but it doesn't seem to work too well for me.
Threading is my only major concern, other than that, what a superb all-rounder with outstanding flavour, you definitely need one.

It does look similar to the Wotofo Conqueror Mini but side by side they are different. Wotofo packages it and supplies the spares for SHADO but SHADO is not a subsidiary of Wotofo.
This rta is king for desserts! Untouchable in my opinion. I've never tried my fruity profiles in it because my desserts are so good in here I fear messing up the system! It's an absolute pain to master the wicking and coil position but man oh man is it worth it, and honestly I love a challenging rta. Win in my books
Well now I want one even more.
Been eyeballing it for a while now so I just might give in and grab one.
At the price it's retailing for i must say it's the best value for money in the vaping industry currently.
That’s what I was hoping to hear.
Now to sneak it past my wife without her noticing new gear
@Paul33 check out The Vape Den. On special for R340.00. I have one and loving it.

Do you mind sharing some pics of your coil positioning @Jengz if you have some?
Also what ID coils are you using? 2.5mm or 3mm?
My Omni comes tomorrow so finding what I can in the meantime.
No pics atm... I had 2.5mm aliens in with the coil position in such a way that the top half of the coil can be seen when looking at it from the side.
I've tried a massive 4.5mm build single coil but it just wasn't the same so I slapped in 3mm aliens now about 2 mins ago. As soon as I get a chance to vape on it I'll let you know what I find better
I picked up an omni over the weekend, fantastic tank! I used 2.5mm aliens and it works great. The coil height is maybe 2mm above the airflow holes. I haven’t tested 3mm but from the size of the airflow holes I reckon 2.5mm would outperform 3mm from an airflow point of view. I followed @BigGuy wicking tutorial and it’s wicking like a charm!
I wick very differently to this so I should try this next time I wick the omni
Definitely worth a go, possibly the first time I ever wicked an rta and it came out perfect the first time
Out of curiosity how do you wick yours ?So looking from the side you’d see half the coil?
I can’t remember. You can use the pic below as a guide for coil leg length. Where the leg meets jig I cut that portion off (circled in red in the pic). Thereafter when you place the coil it should be around 2-3mm above airflow holes.
That takes the guesswork out of it. Thanks bud.
I cut my wicks a tad bit longer and fold them over into the deck... Will take a Pic when I can... Abrar from sirvape wicked it like this for me when I bought it and it just worked so well so never changed it. With the coils... 2.5mm give a a better vape, 3mm is also quite good but the 2.5mm aliens were just superbDefinitely worth a go, possibly the first time I ever wicked an rta and it came out perfect the first time
Thanks bud.
