    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Yes & Yes. I know what you mean about the bubbles. When my Term's OK, the only air comes in from the MP after a drag and they float their way into the tank. At the present time I'm using steel tanks, because I only have a menthol juice left right now. I'll set up some experiments with water and...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    Thanks Rojo. I have experienced the wonderful flavor - so I remain tenacious. I'm very humble right now. Have I already said I've been trying this ever since Stormy first got the Term's? Somewhere along the way I got fixated on using cotton wick, and now I question that. It is so much cheaper...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    Tried the Vaseline. When I crank the top cap all the way down, MP has so much resistance from the compressed o-ring, I can't even turn JF. It has to be sealed, esp. when it's wet with juice.

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    As usual, I really appreciate the help guys. I hear you UA72Riddle. I'm under the impression that I have a clue... but this is the one thing that keeps me feeling like a total newb. Since were talking about fluids and vacuum and such I would especially listen when I plumber/pipe fitter speaks...

    I follow your logic DW - I've swapped around O-rings so many times there all mixed up. I'll keep trying tho...

    Right? I totally agree - but from where? I have this thing locked down so tight I can't adj. JF.

    Can't say MM's for sure on my Cotton, but it's aprox. 2mm wide unless you stretch it out. I'm using 4 strands at the coil and two running down the channels. Everything is closed up by the wick.

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    I have lots of air, and lots of heat. The amount of wick material is something I'm fluctuating, hoping for better results. I doubled the amount and thought my problems were gone, but the gurgle came back. I can't believe this. I'm stellar on every other rebuildable. My hand-eye coordination, and...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel on these. Gurgle gurgle. I'm sick of it! Anymore NEW suggestions? Or I'm going to the classy's.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Still subscribing to your logic DW... I'm using your O-rings! They seal well enough to prevent me from turning my juice-flow control unless I back off the top cap a little. What I don't understand is the inconsistency I repeatedly experience. I never know when the next gurgle will occur. I'm...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Doing what DW? So don't listen to me about Oddy's & their clones - I'm gurgling again. I don't know .... All was good, then I had to peak into the tank to see if I needed a re-fill. I didn't, and put the top cap on, and gurgle, gurgle, endless gurgle. I'm about to give up... I've tried...

    Bought a meter but not sure it does what I want

    I think this is getting a little crazy. Cheap meters average their values anyway to keep the display from constantly changing, so it's not so exact that you would need to consider the leads of the meter. The leads' resistance is trivial and the value from the meter wouldn't be precise enough to...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    I have not dremmel'd my channels, but I have read all about it from long ago thanks to the venerable DW posting on this forum. Since I spent a year trying to end gurgle, I saw no reason to OPEN anything up MORE. I think if I were using silica I'd consider the dremmel trick. Seems I get the best...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    DW, are those Ithaka guts? Two things I notice that differ in your setup vs. mine: the positive post is way out of the GGTS base, and there appears to be a brass protrusion. What are you hiding inside? It seems to me the rebuildable portion recesses too low for the mouthpiece when I allow that...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    That's Neat! Now all you need is an iSeason colored ring to close that gap! Speaking of which, has anyone seen iSeason rings sold stand-alone?

    Just can't stop loving the genuine Oddy base propping up a Terminator atop my MKB-TS. So long 510! BTW, dwcraig1... you helped encourage me right when I almost gave up on these Oddy clones. I doubled the amount of wicking material in the horizontal section of the ceramic. I haven't gurgled...

    Pictures of your setup

    I made it myself. It took about 2 1/2 hours. Total cost of materials was less than $2.00. That's an actual oak barrel. I found a solid wood model of an oak barrel. I used a spade bit to drill out the core. I cleaned it up with a dremmel. Then I cut & drilled corks for the caps; popped in The...
