your opinion is not wrong at all, thats why I send more o-rings together with justGG yankee. Ithaka was an example for me because if I leave room for o-rings then I have to send them to my customers too.

As for tolerance, of course 0,2mm makes a difference but 0,1 does not make any because o-rings have 0,1 tolerance by themselves

I am glad that you solved your issue. Maybe we must adopt this saying:

"if its an o-ring, its not an issue.":laugh:

just great silentt, I am so happy to hear that you enjoy your new toys

Thank you so much my friend. I like it better than my old iatty and ody. For some reason it is just easier for me to set up. Very first coil worked perfect, a few turns of the juice control and the flavor is amazing.

When I order non-res wire or the premade wires I'll try a dual coil. I need more throat hit!

I have to say I been in vaping heaven! I am now selling all my other atomizers! I dont think there is a more custom vaoing atomizer out here other then the ithaka! Bought a 50 pack of 2.5 ohm ready wires through on dual coils at 1ohm and wow! Flavor is unreal! Gotta slow down she goes through juice! Oh and shot out to yankee for helping me with trying to unscrew the brass connector on ithaka! I didnt have to and he was right! Thanks Imeo Just GG and Ithaka is unreal! Def buying another ithaka!

I officially vaped 15ml in one day through the Ithaka. Still going strong :)

I need to slow down lol, I can barely afford the juice. My paycheck needs to hurry up and get here. I'm addicted to the ithaka!

You still on Honey Beez? As for cost as others have said DIY. 2-4 bucks for a 30 ml don't ever have to worry about vaping to much lol.

0.1 mm doesn't make any difference? Theoretically I would say that's accurate. Scientifically I would also say that shouldn't be the case. Mathematically no way .1 makes a huge difference. But somehow a 20mm take one size and a 20.2mm takes another. OR I have tacky moisture build up.
When I went from a 16 to a true 17 from mc, I stopped the leak, but it still built up the juice moisture on the outside. So in my case that's exactly what what .1mm did. I don't know why. I have a couple other measurements I could take if I wanted to keep at the issue.

I've had many attys. ody, Penelope, iatty, and I've never had to change the seam oring. So to spend all this time on this is frustrating as all hell.

But I'm up to my eyeballs in orings. Hell all these orings that I purchased, I'm lucky to have orings for other mods and atties. I could cover a good portion of a room. Or even open my own oring distribution at bo-ringusa.com.

The JGG came with a couple sizes orings for adjustability sake. I believe the ithaka maybe should have come with a couple of sizes. Why? I KNOW I'm not the only one with this grief. I've been PMd. Any status? What were your findings? I have similar issue. But what happened? Some didn't want to "rock the boat". I've been vocal. And I know it's not all welcome vocalization. Because if I didn't vocalize, then others would accept random acts of leakage at face value. Here we share the good and the bad.

If I upset anyone I'm sorry. But I wouldn't change anything because if I help ONE person save aggravation for them, then I've done good. I'm sorry but it's true.

Does the ithaka vape great? YES. It does. Is it versatile and have options? YES. When we first got them they were fantastic. Then it quit. I wish I didn't have to go thorough all this to make it great again. Nobody should have to.

My humble and honest opinion.
And if anyone IS out there experiencing this, PM me. I'll get you some orings

Yankee, as I said before I am still insisting on making it work with the 16x1 and the 17x1 I received. I will put the 17x1 on the bases of my 3 ithakas (i have only 3 orings that size) and as for condensation and leaking up I will keep the 16x1 and want to make it work. I dunno I will dunk it in vaseline and observe some pattern to know for sure why this is happening.



just great sakis, thank you buddy. I am just wondering sometimes why some people still insist on inferior atomizers. Maybe its the cost of Ithaka

Unfortunately I am using other atomizers as well which are inferior I admit. Why do I use them? it is because I really don't have the time twisting wires and I am not getting better at it. It takes me around 15 mins to twist one perfect wire, and i don't like it other than perfect. Ready wires are not an option for me because I use 28-30 gauge wires and tend to use 1 ohm. I will buy the new ribbon ones and experiment. So between Ithaka Ody Penelope and iatty and other atomizers, I am not really using Ithaka to its full potential. But I will as soon as I take some long leave.

I don't blame you at all. In fact, if you find anything specific as to why, feel free to PM me (if not post). I'd be interested to hear and read what you do discover.

You are very welcome Thanos.
Everything has a cost and we all know it. Quality and design are the valued for money of Ithaka!!
Grate job again Thanos keep walking bro!!
In Long term people will pay more than the cost of an atomizer like Ithaka .That's for sure!!

so ... I have another 9 days before I get back to the states and can get my hands on the JGG and Ithaka waiting at home.

Been wondering, on average, how many Ithaka's do people feel they need due to swapping flavors etc?

There more the better,it's depend mostly on your preference and on your juice manu.
I need 4 my wife 3 others have 2 and one is spare for them,so in the end of the day it's
Your call.
I always feel I need 2 more ( at minimum) but I think 2/3 with a bunch of spare parts is a minimum.
If someone can afford more then it's better.
If you like to change juices like me and not like to change the vape quality,then it's an easy choice.

I vaped a whole tank of coffee empty and refilled it with my ry4 and the flavor change only took 10-15 puffs. It blended nicely then the ry4 took over. Ithaka keeps making me happy.

I put the JGG w/ithaka in my suede crown royal bag and take it everywhere. It was under the car on the ground with me all day. :) No leaks yet, no dry hits. Only issue I have is I'm going through 10ml+ a day lol

Going to wait until the new upgrades to the Ithaka come out before buying a couple more then.

Which spare parts are the ones that normally are more prone to be replacing?

I have not needed to replace any part on my Ithakas, but I think is good to have the following parts (just in case):


O-Rings.
Ceramics.
Negative plastic nut.
Transparent windows.
Positive center pin isolator (plastic washer).

And for the obsessives (like me):

Auto adjustable brass pin.
Center post top nut.
Center post positive nut.

I wouldn't call it obsessive....okay maybe a little bit with the right accessories I can think of 9 different ways to set up Ithaka alone right off the top of my head. And there is more thats just a quick inventor of ways Ive used it. And that doesn't even include different builds. Once you start adding builds it's insane!! So totally understandable to have one for each JGG ;) 8 Ithakas means a bunch of possible break-downs.
