    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    There's an Ithaka clone on Fasttech for >$36: $35.22 Ithaka Adjustable Rebuildable Atomizer (4.0mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping Someone who knows what they're looking at should check it out. At this point, I'm adopting an "if it sounds too good to be true" mindset about it.

    I would certainly hope so :)

    What is your occupation?

    Lawyer (I know - don't hold it against me). Have my own practice part time and work for a company as a title examiner. The best part is that I get to do all of it from home.

    AGA-T2 hotspots

    You sound like me - I wrapped that coil every which way I could think of and still had shorts or hot spots. The AGA-T2 is notorious for them. The only thing that finally made them usable for me was putting a Nextel ceramic sleeve over the mesh. I just started using it, so I will spare you the...

    Oxidizing SS mesh without using a torch.

    If you have a mechanical device, you can use the "pulse" method. Install your wick and coil raw, then start firing the atomizer in short bursts, or pulses. The coil itself will oxidize the wick wherever it touches it. At first, the wire will only glow red on the ends where it is connected to the...

    Freaking WOW.

    Glad to hear about the heat. I've been really interested in trying these. In fact, I think now is as good a time as any to order some up. Thanks for the input.

    The Top Cheap Mods

    I've sworn off the Sigeleis - I've tried the #8, the #19 and the #20, and none of them work well out of the box. However, having finally gotten the performance of the #8 where I want it to be, I love it. Edit: And +1 on the KTS. I have three, including one of the new flat-top, knurl-free...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Just installed my first micro coils on my 2 igo-l's. Both are 10 or 11 wraps of 30g Kanthal, wrapped on a 1/16th drill bit, and both came out at about 2 ohms. I used regular silica wick on the first one, and it's great as long as I drip the juice directly on the coil. It will wick outward from...

    Freaking WOW.

    Hey, Heavyrocker - the only negative thing I've heard about SS rope is that it retains heat. As a chain vaper, I was concerned about the deck/top cap getting too hot, or the wick sort of "boiling" the juice in the tank. Have you tried using ekowool or the Nextel ceramic rope as a sleeve? That...

    Replacement RSST Bottom Insulator

    I got an RSST from a co-op and it arrived with most of the bottom insulator pushed out of the 510 connection. I had to take it all the way out to remove the center post, and now, I can't get it back in. I tried everything I could think of, and no go. Then I tried using a silicone center post...

    Let's talk specialty tools

    I have this set, too - use these files for everything :)

    RSST won't thread onto Provari

    You might check with your vendor first - unless you already have the tools or just want to give it a go. My vendor (Exhale Vapor) replaced the base unit free of charge, and I think a lot of others did/will as well.

    GGTS Clone/CCST/Chi Chi Show and Tell

    I really like it - it's a big improvement over the original top cap. I have to retract the bit about the diameter being a perfect match, though. The RSST is a little less than a mm wider, the AGAT+ less than that. So not quite the "hybrid effect," but very sleek and streamlined. And no knurling!

    GGTS Clone/CCST/Chi Chi Show and Tell

    If you feel like splurging a little, take a look at some of these: Brass Drip Tips - Drip Tip Designz The simple brass tips are very reasonable. For that matter, so are the more elaborate ones in terms of workmanship - some really nice-looking stuff - just seems unbalanced to pay twice as...

    GGTS Clone/CCST/Chi Chi Show and Tell

    New CCTS/KTS Flat top with the AGAT+ - .23 vdrop out of the box, for those who care about such things (which, incidentally, is almost exactly the same as the vdrop on the one I sanded all the contacts down to brass on): And with the RSST - diameter is a perfect match on both...

    Kts telescopic storm

    LOVE me some KTS - just ordered my third -the flat top from ExhaleVapors - yesterday. Both of my Sigeleis (#8 and #19) are about to go up on the classies. The Sigs are made of higher quality materials and they look fantastic, but the KTS outperforms them by a mile, and if the new flat top...

    Natural Tobaccos

    If you find or know of one in NYC, please post it. I'll be there for a week in July, and I'm paranoid about running out of juice. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    Silicon grommets for the AGA-T - what for?

    Bummer - I thought it might be a new "trick." Ah well. Thanks for the info.
