mine is like this, the one FT is selling looks revised.
Yeah, the top cap is one piece now, which makes filling it a HUGE PITA.

Yeah, you're right on the money, also you barely want to come up the clear window, as you start to thread down the liquid will rise towards the threads, so you have to factor that in. This thing DOES put out the flavor though.
I haven't tried a micro in this thing yet (have micros in almost everything else that I own including Protanks) ... I actually ordered all the parts to make my own wire zapper. What gauge / wraps / ohms are you running? Guessing the flavor is better than a "normal" coil?
Im using the 1.7 ohm ready wires from madvapes. I do the coils touching as ive seen in the microcoils thread. I also bend the nr legs in such a way to place the coil as close to the nut inside the ceramic cup as possible w/o touching. Didn't count the wraps, but yes the flavour is very nice, much better than how i used to wrap them (hand joined wire around fibreglass wick)
BTW i lied about the twine, just took my calipers to it and its 1mm twine. It is listed as 20lb twine on the packaging (i suppose it is a measurement in USA).

Awesome, will definitely give this a shot. I have an Ithaka clone coming today so might try it on that first.
Oh man, ive got the FT ithaka clone and it hits even harder, I have removed the knurled airflow ring to open up the air slot all the way. My mod that i have the oddy on (private v2) doesn't have as good airflow because of the flush mount, but the ithaka RIPS.
Awesome! ... so what's your best build flavor wise so far? dual coils? Micros? Can't wait for the mailman to get here!
I used to run dual coil on the ithaka but it never produced as good a vape as a single microcoil on hemp wick. No idea why. The dual coil seems to run the wicks dry if attempting to take a long draw or multiple in a row.
I do need to keep the juice control barely open (like a quarter turn) in order to prevent leaking out of the drip tip when inverted. Ive just been using ready wires, so much more convenient than hand joining them.
I do like the oddy and ithaka both, i usually keep the oddy loaded with my fruity juices and the ithaka with the tobacco flavoured juices as it is more akin to a real cigarette (due to the airy draw compared to my oddy). I might remedy the tighter draw on the oddy by dremeling a few notches in the top cap of the private, but of course i am hesitant to do that. Its nice though for what i use it for. Not bad for under 17.00USD.

Awesome ... Ithaka just arrived, I have it soaking now. Hopefully will be building it up shortly. Thanks for all the tips!
Just the normal things. Like build quality, and how well it will vape considering ill have to use nr wires.
Build quality is good, especially for 17.00USD. As it far as it vaping, this is my every day atomizer. The ithaka sits at my desk while the oddy comes out. I haven't used the ithaka in three days. Well worth the "hassle" of non resistance legs.
I have to agree, if you can get past it's quirks and learning curve, the little beast puts out amazing flavor. What's also awesome about it and not mentioned often, you can take the tank off, close the juice control, and use it as a pure dripper. In a lot of ways it's very similar to a high end 510 atomizer, especially if you build a micro coil in it.
Mine worked great for about a week, then I went to pick it up the other day and the tank is broke. I wasn't using any crazy juices in it, it broke off clean where the threading starts at the bottom. Is there a good place to get a replacement tank?
