Ithaka official

[imeothanasis]

I will make steel windows like I did with Ody but in a later time buddy

Thanks Imeo, will it come with a metal tube, or have an option at time of pre-order to buy one?

None of my primary juices are plastic friendly...

 

[RiverNut]

Yes, me too. I will have to look at the first video again to truly understand how Ithaka works ... it is an ingenuous design!

I have a few questions:

1. Apparently, Ithaka always runs two coils in parallel? You do not use a single coil as in the Ody and Penelope?

2. Apparently, the slotted ring that screws down over the ceramic housing acts as a primary juice flow control, which you can adjust from providing no juice at all to either channel, to providing maximum juice to both channels? Also, apparently, you can then "fine tune" the juice flow with the mouthpiece, like in the Ody and Penelope?

3. How do you determine how to initially set the slotted ring? Apparently, the slotted ring must be set in position before the tank is filled, and once the tank and mouthpiece is in place, the slotted ring can no longer be adjusted ... is this correct? If so, then as I asked, what determines how you should set the slotted ring for the "constant" element of flow control?

Perhaps these are foolish questions ...

You can run it in either single or dual coil and as jmarkus suggested, if you want single coil, you can wrap your coil around both wicks giving you not only double wick coil but also double the wicking (not possible with Ody).

As for the primary juice control, I'm guessing it'll be trial and error to find the best setting for you. I personally will only use the secondary control since its completely adjustable on the fly. The only downside is it appears you will not be able to completely vape all liquid in the tank since it sits higher than the primary control...not a big deal for me.

Thanks for the explanation!

1. You can use only one coil if you like Scott. Just put a wick without wire on it on the one slot
2. yes to all
3. you try the slotted ring in some places until you find the right one for you Scott. But any place works very good without problems. Slotted ring is made like this for fine preadjustments for people that want the very best of an atomizer

The only follish questions are those that you never made buddy

First of all thanks a lot for your help to Scott River
You can still vape all the liquid like you do on Ody. Its because every time you vape, you keep your e-cig not in vertical position, so liquid always reach the wick. That is happening because mouthpiece is very close to Ithaka's walls

Scott I believe the slotted basic feed will help the best feed of different thickness (viscosity) juices. I would think for us that vape thicker VG juices the basic feed will help if it's over the wicks while perhaps high PG users can have it completely closed. Also as Imeo mentioned it regulates the warmth of the vapor. Overall I think it's a great option to have which just may need initially some trial and error

 

[Scott_Simpson]

Thanks to all for your help! I think I better understand now how Ithaka works, and it is truly an ingenuous design. Since I vape VG juices exclusively, I can see how the slotted ring will be a real advantage, to set a "baseline" of juice flow. I'm not sure how it contributes to the warmth of the vapor, but I'll figure that out when I have it in my hands. Half the fun of my Penelopes has been trying different things to better understand how to get the optimum vape ... the other half, of course, is enjoying said vape!

I have my alarm clock set for the pre-sale ...

 

[CaptSteve]

Scott the basic feed not only has slots to allow juice to flow to the wicks but also is the base on which the ceramic housing sits. By raising it and lowering it you vary the distance the vapor travels to the mouthpiece therefor you vary the temp of the vapor. A bit like having a shot drip tip or a long one on a drip atty, vapor is warmer or cooler

About the plexi glass window - Imeo, would a UFS steel window fit? It looks just like it.

 

[BoyNamedStacy]

Finally I will hopefully be getting something that was truly made for my GGTS!! This looks amazing and will replace the other crap I have been using lol. Great work Imeo

 

[imeothanasis]

No Chris, sorry buddy. UFS uses different threads than Ithaka. Ithaka has many compatible pieces with Ody. I dont know all of them but I am sure that you will discover them if you buy Ithaka and you have an Ody too

Oh, I myself am happy with the window - its why I use the expanded Ody right now. My juices are fine with your windows. I was just trying to help Vapor1221 up there ^^

I make my coils in my Odys in an oval shape with 2 pcs of wick. 1 goes the whole way and 1 stays just at the coil. The oval goes up and down. For those that want to use a single coil with Ithaka the oval will go side to side and there will be 2 full length wicks. I use 2 wicks and a paperclip to make the oval. 2 pcs of 3mm wick plus the paperclip makes a good size oval.

Wait a minute! Imeo did you buy stock in the wick company?

 

[BennyBoy]

I've had a few problems with the juice I vape not wicking too well with my Penelope lately. As suggested, the slot should help alleviate that issue. Looking forward to trying out some dual wick set ups.

A question I have is to do with the ohms on a dual wick set up. If I was to wrap two coils, both of say 1.5ohms, how would that affect the overall ohms for both of them together? It won't be 3ohms will it? Any info appreciated.

 

[CaptSteve]

2 coils @ 1.5 ohms = 0.75ohms

 

[urquidezj]

single coil can be achieved with two separate wicks coiled together and have the tails going down each channel, its gonna wick like a monster with four wick tails absorbing joose. 28g kanthal will come in hande with this

And THAT is the approach I planned to try first. We were talking this method. Almost like a figure Xbut not crossed. Although not sure crossed wouldn't be good too.

 

[urquidezj]

as long as you dont choke it, it will be fine yankee

 

[yankeebobo]

Absolutely. My ody gets a dual wick. One long 3.5 and another short just where the coils go. Same tension would apply here.
