If the Shocker cracked it, Pluid will do the same, but faster. I can all but guarantee it.

Did I hear stainless windows? :)



After 3 tanks of Shocker liquid from G2 Vapors (raspberry + absinthe/anise/licorice) my Ithaka tank is cracked.
I tried to make the picture this morning with Blackberry, it's not the best device for macro shots, but you can see this.
Results with Pluid will interest me.
Imeo, where I can buy spare plastic window in Europe, please? Will Vassilis help me?

That's kind of a tough question, isn't it? Without knowing diameter of wick, gauge of wire, etc...

If you have a meter, check the resistance of the R wide before you attach the second leg of NR wire and obviously before you wrap.
That's what I do in my Ody. Use one probe on the NR wire near where it meets the R, and slide the other lead along the R wire until you get the reading you want, then attach the other NR at that point.

If you're going to run dual coils, each R wire should be twice the resistance you actually want.

Not to imply you don't already know this, but since many people read, I always like to include a reminder to meter your leads by touching them together and deduct that resistance from your reading any time we talk meters as well.. My leads meter at .3 ohms, so a 1.5 ohm coil reading is actually 1.2 ohms..


How many wraps does it take to get above 1 ohm?

WOW! I received my Ithaka yesterday... WOW! I don't know how I did it, but waited until I got home to set it up. WOW!

I did a dual coil. 3MM wicks. X across the channels..... WOW! 1.1 Ohms final result. Put it on... WOW! ... a mechanical device with 18650 battery.... WOW! First attempt ~ perfect result. I even think 3MM is too thick. I want to get some thinner silica and try that.

Very nice vapor production.... WOW!... Flavor as good as I have ever experienced in any device... WOW!

Did I say I like the Ithaka? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Number of wraps using those won't change the resistance as they will always contain the same amount of R wire.
If I'm not mistaking, those wires really aren't ideal for dual coils. They are set-up to hit the right resistance for a single coil, and using 2 will half that resistance.

Ready wires from COV.
