Has anyone tried the iSmoka Magoo-C RBA (Ithika clone)?

I'd be very surprised if the tanks were actually threaded.

You're right, it's the center post that's threaded. The top and bottom of the tank screw together through the center post, securing the glass part of the tank.

I wonder if this unit has a stainless steel option -- plastic will not work for me.

The Ithaka itself has a stainless steel tank available, no idea what the pricing is like though.

There's a chance the Rainbow clones will see replacement tanks too since they were available for the Terminator/C.

Either should work on the Magoo clone, assuming it's as close a clone as the Hercules.

Failing that, Terminator/C clones can also be used on the Hercules so again probably on the Magoo too.

Just got a "Magoo" and aside from the fact it's a clone, this thing is pretty stellar.
The air control is really good and the spring loaded centre post is flawless.

Managed to get it from a local vendor for €35 including discounts, the German vendors are selling it for €70 so I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

Good to know. Is the plastic tank the cracking kind? Does it come with a metal tank option?

Izan sir got the chrome one.

Caged you have to attach the non-resistance wire to the resistant one, either but tying it together or using an electrical current to fuse them. After you've done it a few times it gets easier.

St0nedpenguin sir the tank is threaded. It's made of plastic, going to use some cinnamon juice to see how it handles it soon....

Did it handle the cinnamon?

I have been vaping on my ismoka magoo for over 24 hours now and I have to say, I am completely sold. This is an impressive ithaka style rba. I have built serveral types of oddy/ithaka style rbas (terminator c, nautilus, FT oddy, FT ithaka) and IMHO the ismoka takes the cake. I have let my kayfun 3.1 sit on the shelf since I picked this up.
The Magoo has a subjecively easy build and vapes like a champion. I had a slight problem with a "gargle" on the draw for a few hours. A few simple adjustments and an added o-ring took care of it.

I could go on forever about how pleased I am with this atty. it's rare that I spend 44.99 and am this blown away.

Count me in for at least one more. Don't sit on this, because once these TRULY hit the vaping community, they'll be difficult to find in stock.

Where did you add the o-ring and what size did you use?
