Anyone still using their Ithaca's and Penelope's?

With all the innovation in tank designs, my Ithaka and Penny have been gathering dust. My KFL's rta and Prometey rda have been getting all the love. They were great designs in their times, but the R/NR wire thing and inability to rewick the existing coil in the channels have kinda made these obsolete for me. Anyone still using these?

Still use at least one ithaka every day. Pre-bought nr-r-nr wires mean I can coil one up in no time and the silica lasts a couple of weeks with a rinse and dry burn in between. Much easier than replacing cotton every few days. For me the perfect fill 'er up and vape atty.

But then again, I'm a bit of a tragic for the classics

I keep my ADV in an Ithaka clone, best flavor I've found yet. I also have Taifun GS's and GT's loaded, as well as an old Protank II or two (using my coils, not factory). I put wrapped vertical coils in just about everything and tootle-puff away... I wick with rayon and join my R/NR by twisting, not welding. As long as I make sure to get a good crimp on the joint, never a problem. They're all clones except the Protanks, btw. I'm compensationally challenged so let's keep the flames down, thanks.

I tried going back to carto-tanks recently, but I am spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. It didn't work out so well, bleah.

I have an AGA T7 on the way - closest I've yet come to the Kayfun-style (juice well) atties. I'm worried about leakage as my tanks get jumbled around all day.

I see a Lemo II in the future though...
