Sorry for even mentioning clones, I only mention it because he may get a real one after he saw mine :)

And that is the reason I'm not to concerned about clones, they give folks a shot at what the authentic is like and sometimes, give people a reason to buy the real thing.

Here's my first build! 28g kanthal 1.25ohm

xdtykH0.jpg


It vapes and tastes great! This thing is awesome, thanks Imeo!
The taste is especially good, but I'm kind of missing throat hit. Maybe I will move the coil more toward the bottom air hole? Or should I move it toward the mouth piece?

I can't really test it too much yet because I just realized my spare Ithaka clear window was broken :(
Anyone have a spare? CoV is out. If not I can order from e-smokeguru at some point (kicking myself.. I JUST ordered this new Ithaka part from them.. I should have ordered another window!)

I will be able to test it later when my tank runs dry, though.. then I will replace builds.

Lower(closer to air inlet) = Less TH
Raise(further from air inlet) = More TH

Ahh that explains it! I will try putting it a bit higher.. Thanks!

Oh also, would it be a good idea to put some cotton on the inside of the cup? I'm thinking a little bit along the sides up to the channel/coil, but not covering the air hole.. Maybe not needed, just a thought.

How many turns do you guys open when using cotton/microcoil setup? I need to open at 4-5 turns or is it I place the cotton too thick?

Try to krinkle it, means cutting the cotton right before it runs down the channel. I only need to open 2 turns at 0.5ohms.

Thanks aalwani! It is vaping absolutely beautifully! Always saturated with juice as well. I love how airy the draw is as well, finally! A lung inhaler like me enjoys it very much!
Anyway.. I am still craving more throat hit (I always am to be honest) - so next build I am going to do dual micros - what is the best configuration for those? Would one on top of the other be better, or side by side?

edit: actually it looks like they will have to be on top of each other.. don't think there is room side by side.

Hey Imeo - what do you think about making a clear window for the bottom of the Ithaka? Basically to somehow be able to swap the serial number rign with the clear window..

One side of the window can be female (for the bottom) and one can be male (to fit the serial number ring)... although I think there would still need to be an adapter for female to female serial number to cap... just thinking. That might get too convoluted, though.

It would be nice to be able to visually see how much the new rebuildable is open. I have no issues with that, though, I'm just used to checking the window to see the open level. Luckily with this cotton + microcoil I can open it up a lot without flooding it seems!

Ohhhh yeah I forgot about those, I remember looking into those for my Ody back in the day. The Ody clear window will fit the Ithaka?
What size is good for Ithaka? Now if only I can find one in stock somewhere! I do really like the full SS look as well.. I would just have to get used to not looking at my open level.. which really isn't a big deal, just a passing thought.

I make my cotton wick and run it through my coil. I then split it into three parts, with the middle part running down the channel and tuck to the two outside parts into the cup. Don't put too much cotton in the channels. I then open up juice control a half turn to a full turn. Works great!

Cool, yeah I will try a higher coil first.. maybe a slightly lower ohm? The vapor production on this 1.25ohm microcoil alone is insane. My battery is going to last forever now!

Just make sure the coil doesn't sit above the housing wouldn't want to short it if the mouthpiece gets closed.
