    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    So I learned that too many volts running on it is considered a short code with the provari. I can run 3v max which is fine since I'm running 1ohm dual coil. The pipette trick is the best one but I think it's the hard plastic piece or the oring causing the in alignment, not the post. The post is...

    what exactly is sub ohm? and what is the safest ohm to run on dual coils

    It's been just around the corner from me for so long.. Appreciate it.

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    2x2 o-ring didn't solve my gurgling... on to a new method. When your gurgling occurs, do you notice it bubbling within the tank and also trace amounts coming from the air hole where the adjustable ring is on the exterior of the atty? P.S. My shorting issues were nothing that I have read of on...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    I did check that and mine came installed the right way, is there a certain way that the wing on the flared out part of that nut should be facing?(towards the wick channels, away from them, etc.) I did see that it was not properly centered but I disregarded thinking the same thing, why would...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    So for some reason, not sure why, I have not been able to align the 510 post from the first time I rebuilt my Hercules atty. I just recently put a 2x2 o-ring under the nut the post screws into in the bottom of the ceramic to see if it would maybe put equal pressure around the whole post so as...

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    I placed my (-) above the torque nut and the (+) above the o-ring. Any advice on aligning the center post permanently anybody?

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    I thought I had caught Todd's review! I got the wrong one. Damn the bad luck, that might have saved me some wicks. Well, I knew it was going to be a challenge and I was stubborn to not come a-knockin' but I couldn't resist. I don't adhere to the wading method I'm afraid. I like going balls deep...

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    Okay this is good to know, I give credit to redeye for calling this first, I had my doubts. Techno you helped me start this up quite a bit just so you know. Appreciate the help guys. So I am in to the background, how does length affect it when I've got 1.7 and then causing it to "short"? I...

    Ithaka Clone is shorting- I don't see a clear solution

    My Hercules has been fighting with me since I got it. Typically for Ithakas and their clones, the 510 post doesn't align. As per Imeo, you just push it over with your fingernail or a flathead, etc., and it will align and it does. I get it in aligned and my wires are clean and not touching and...

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    Besides, I have a 1.7 Ohm reading.. I'm not exactly running on sub-ohms here so I don't think this would make my legs crack at 4v, don't you think?

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    No, not once. I have all the coils I have used in this prolonged process and they are all reusable in my opinion. This is the only reason why I'm not thinking it's a resistance problem. The only thing I could think of would be if something were to shift and either slide to a partial 510...

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    I'll look into the non-res wire too. I don't believe I have watched that one.

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    I screw it to the point that the 510 is in the correct position to contact my power source contact. And I believe that is the where the positive lead is at, correct? Negative is above where the plastic torque nut is?

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    I thought that the retaining ring might and i have made sure that the wicks cover the wire in their slots and there is only so much I can do to keep the wires from protruding off

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    Actually, no. In the youtube videos from Imeo for both the Ithaka and the Hercules it has only showed res wire.. I have watched many videos on this and nothing has helped. From what I know, this should not be shorting. The positive and the negative touch in no way and the positive is only...

    Ithaka Clone-Hercules Shorting Issues

    Hi ECF, I just got the ithaka clone from SilicaWicks and I had it vaping after battling with it for a couple hours, finally ending with a single coil around 2 wicks and that got a vape going but it was only descent. I just got some ribbon wire and I am looking for some help to work out whatever...
