Ithaka gurgling/leaking

[imeothanasis]

yes, I know ms. Just ask esmokeguru for a new one for free. You can have it by combining your order with something else maybe?

Yes, in a few weeks I was going to buy a Just GG brass CR, so I will give them a comment when I order and that should be good

I must admit the GG hybrid Ithaka/Just GG is probably the best looking AND functioning hybrids I have ever owned IMO

The gurgle honestly does not bother me, if it were a flooding I would be concerned, but I am just happy to see here and realize it is just a known characteristic more so than anything else.

After rebuilding so many atomizers, I can tell the difference between troubles, this device is trouble free for me haha

Refilling GG Ithaca from its base YouTube video by Imeo
refilling GG Ithaca from its base - YouTube

Not sure why but I refill from the bottom and it worked great until lately. Now juice drips out of the mouth piece when it is upside down. After that it usually floods and I have to shake the reservoir clear and glow out the juice through the mouth pc. I have the new nut coming in the mail so I will try that. I have feeding closed everywhere and using thick all vg juice...strange

new parts arrived. going to rebuild it tmrw. I think most of my issue come from vg juice and not dry burning my coils each tank.
Maybe I need the ithaka rebuildable part to play with coils.

Basic feeder open is no good when refilling sometimes.
Try close it or refill from the bottom then screw rebuildable part and base to the tank,
see if it any better.

Ithaka is the best vape I have but I can't get the center post removed to put the new, round part on. Not sure how or if I need to remove/replace it now that I have the part. The only issue I have with Ithaka now is when I refill it from the bottom, most of the juice just flows out of the mouthpiece. Not as bad when I refill from the top.
Can someone explain the pros and cons of the old nut vs. the new nut. Also the best way to refill from the bottom without leaking juice out of the mouthpiece.
New rebuildable part is on the way.

I can't get the center post removed to put the new, round part on.

The old style center post top nut is taller and has a slot for a screwdriver
The new style top nut is too short to have a screwdriver slot, so you have to turn the center post CCW to remove

Even with a screw driver I cannot remove the older, tall one. I am not sure if I should even keep trying. If I do get the old, tall one off how do I get the new one tightened and is it better?

keep with pliers the center post and unscrew the ceramic housing pt
