Ithaka official

[imeothanasis]

Hi my friend asc. I am very glad that Ithaka vapes wonderful for you and thanks a lot for your nice words
I would like to tell you my opinion about the bad things of Ithaka that you mention:

1. If you dont trust plastic screw then just put wire inside metal channel under wick, no problem. Or we can make a metal screw for Ithaka, thats not a problem too. But I dont see a reason that you dont trust the plastic screw. I shorted Ithaka in purpose and plastic nut was more than ok. I think that you will see it by yourself if you try it.

2. Top part is more expensive than Ody's and its easier to be opened for refilling. Also it gives you the ability to refill even easier than Penelope due to its larger opening. Of course you can refill Ithaka like Ody too. So Ithaka's top part its way better than Ody's top part.

ithaka
the good : vapes at least as good as the odysseus ... full and rich, lots of flavour ... easy to wick, almost perfect to look at
the bad : dualcoil seems to drain battery fast (logcally), and i dont trust the plastic screw for the negative wire
the ugly : i really dont like the top part ... ody was so nice with the rounded part and the screw-in mouth-piece cap ... ithaca looks kinda cheep compared to that.

all in all : i probably gonna sell 1 odysseus ... maybe sell 2 odys and get one more ithaka ... another nice piece of engineering, imeo!

I guess they heat up because they are close together in a small chamber. Just try to touch the metal part of your Ithaka (Pene, Ody etc.) with a single coil and then with a DC set up. The difference is very much notable.

 

[imeothanasis]

Thats true aal.
Maybe its an placebo issue

1- Back to Athens Land. My package was waiting for me on my desk. My Ithaka's will have to wait till I get home

2- Regarding the "some juices don't like heat" I don't get why is it an issue if you are using the same ohms on a single coil. What I mean is that if a juice tastes best with 2 ohms and 3.7V, 2 coils will give you 1 ohm of total resistance but each one still vaporizes with the same power and the same ampere. I don't get why you are assuming they are heating up more than usual.

The amount of heat in the chamber does not affect the vaporization. the direct contact of the wire will. What you are saying about the metal part is of course true because the heat in the chamber has doubled. However the actual burning of the liquid is still at the same temperature for each coil. I doubt that the heat produced by one wire will make the other wire hotter and vice versa. I might be wrong but I cant see it happening.

Imeo, I am sorry if this question has already been asked....but, how many extra (non-preorder) Ithakas did you send to Bruce?

I didn't make the preorder. I was honestly just saving my money for my Proteus. Since Proteus doesn't sound like it will make an appearance anytime soon, I can use those funds for an Ithaka.

 

[imeothanasis]

I think all Ithakas are sold SS my friend. But I am not totally sure so better ask Bruce about this

@imeothanasis I've a question
Why alla your products that work with wire use the "method" no res wire - res wire - no res wire and not only resistive wire like kayfun for example?

There are many difference between only res wire system and no res - res - no res wire system ?

Thanks

I sent them an email and awaiting a response. Thank you for the quick response Imeo.

I recently realized that there are around 300 vapers where I work, almost all of them have eGo's. Many of the ones that have seen my GGTSs, UFS, and Ody wanted to know how to get them. I directed them to CoV. Many are curious when more GGTSs will be available. What should I tell them?

 

[imeothanasis]

I first used NR wires on atomizers tar and the reason was that I didnt like the fact than all the previous atomizers made by modders were almost the same each other and very difficult to make a wire on them. So I desided to find a way to make our lifes easy.

You already know that you dont need any tools or glassess to make a coil on GG atomizers. And thats because not only we have room to work with wires but because positive and negative posts are not close each other in a way that makes very difficult the "making coil" prossedure.
I make constructions for all people and not just for people with skills or young ones.

Also I like "clean" constructions. I dont like messy constructions where the wick is "everywhere". And of course I want to give many useful features to all things that I make.

There are some constructions in my mind that can easily work. For example we can put wick on a tank and a wire on it. 2 holes around tank and atomizer is ready. But it seems silly to me.

I love my Ody's but have to use pre-made wires and can't find them. The best vape that I have, by far!

 

[tarricone]

Thanks but I didn't understad if Ithaka work only with non resistive - resistive - non resistive wire or can work only with Resistive wire
Sorry but I've at the moment only UFS and I want understand well If I can use on Itaka only Resistive wire

 

[imeothanasis]

My sellers have them Mike. Bruce for example will receive enough of them in 2-3 days

Awesome, thank you

I realized a few months ago that you can make wires almost identical to the premade wires. Twist together your wires like you normally would if building your own coil. What I do after that is use a butane lighter to burn the wire. If you are careful and don't overdo it the silver nonresistance wire will melt into a bead slightly larger than the ones on the premades.

I figured this out completely on accident. My Bic lighter ran out of fluid and picked up a butane lighter figuring that it would be cheaper in the long run because you can refill the butane lighter. Also, it burns hot enough to get your wick to glow when you are burning it.

Just got my ithaka this morning. Been playing around with it a little bit, love it. Using it with dual coil X method at about 1 ohm. WOW. I have it set now with BF on full. Works a treat with my El Torro Guevara Reserve NET but I have to be very careful with the mouthpiece control as It can flood much more easily. Best only to open that before a vape and close again. I'll try it without BF on my next set up with the same NET and see what the difference is.
The big difference with Ithaka over ody and pene is its massively easier to set up a dual coil on it. Was always a bit too fiddley to wrap a dual coil around one wick or trying to jam two single coil and wick set ups into a single ceramic chanel, often caused me to catch the wick in control ring or mouthpiece, so I'd given up on them with ody and pene. Ithaka is a rebuildable that address this issue.
I am tempted to make 2 dual coils around each wick for a quad coil set up, not necessary for how I like to vape but interested to see what it'd be like.
Cheers imeo for the great product.

Superb, thanks

Superb, thanks

Not a problem. I meant to post that info before, but never really got around to it.

This works out really good for dual coils as well. Made one for my Penelope. Hits pretty good at 3.7v (which is good since I usually run 7.4v single coil with my Ody).

Is there any chance that COV will have stocks within the next month :-s?

 

[jmarkus]

theres also a neat little mod you can make using an old disposable camera to weld nr wires to r wires. a nice tutorial in the modders forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...095-resistance-no-resistance-wire-welder.html

 

[subver]

It'll most likely be way sooner than that, cookiejar.. I believe they're in customs right now (right?)
