I think the conversation has to start with the PV that you are also using with the Ithaka. My apologies if I missed that.
Having two Ithakas on two different GGTS builds, I have almost no restriction with my draw and am able to lung hit if needed. Quite a few of my builds end up <1 and no issue with any stock GG atty.
Poppa D is on to something about the dremel. I did that on my 3rd GGTS and cant remember for which atty.
Subver is also correct as trying a different wick config may also help.
Test the draw with no wick at all and if the draw is tight you can eliminate everything else.

For my PV I use a few different devices:
My number #1 right now is my Turtle Ship Mod
#2 is my Chiyou
#3 is my Vanilla mod by Smok-E mountain mech works.
I can assure you my mods are not the issue. Let me just say this, so my "ideal draw" will make sense...
most of the time I have to drill out holes on my RBAs/RDAs because I prefer at LEAST 2 holes at 3/32 (drill bit size) which for the metric system is between two 2.5mm to 3.0mm holes. It's important to note that I prefer
two 2.5mm - 3mm holes - it's like sucking through a straw.
Yes, I prefer to take big direct lung hits. On my old starter devices when I first got into vaping, like my Vamo, Provari, things like that I was mouth hitting because I didn't know any better, and I wasn't aware that I could open a device's airflow up to take a much bigger lung hit. The only reason why I prefer direct lung hitting to mouth hitting is that, I feel at 6mg nicotine running dual coils under .9ohms, I can get my fix much, much faster. With all of my other devices I had to mouth hit, I was running 18-24mg nico, and sucking on them all day like a baby with a bottle.
Ever since I opened up my airflow on all my atty's, I've been able to drip some, take 5-6 draws, and be done with it.
Thank you for the idea about taking everything out and drawing off the device not attached to my PV - never thought of that. As far as my qicks go, I'm
not triple wrapping it. In fact, I'm not even double wrapping it. I'm using 1 strand of 3mm silica wick per coil.
To sum it up without writing a novel about my issue, is that I'm asking the community if there are any sub-ohm vapers on this forum that have RDA/Genesis atomizers that run their airflow at around 3/32 or 1/8 size holes and ALSO own an Ithaka... Is there a way to replicate that sort of resistance on the draw? From everything I've tried, I can
almost get it to the point where I can take a direct lung hit to where I'm not sucking crazy hard to get it down there. But it's still nowhere near my other devices. I'm going to try taking out all wicks, and the bottom airflow cap off and see what that's like...keep you posted ~thanks all.
