I tried that the other day with my usual set up and I found it did not wick as well and also not as much vapour. Something did not seem right so I just took it apart and set it up in my usual way; long wick on bottom with shorter wick on top, wrapped them both up like usual and was happy as a lark , as usual.

I have tried that before with same results.
In my Odysseus V1, I install a single wick (3.5mm) a la MrKrinkle method (just wick at top, no wick on ceramic channels), that method works very good for me: no wicking problems, no leaking, no remaining liquid (all liquid is vaped), and allows me to save some wick.
I will have to try the Mr Krinkle method, so just the smaller sized wick on top, none in channels, just the wire? No problems with the positive wire making contact with metal? I assume not, with all you GG veterans giving it your approval
The positive wire goes inside ceramic so it can't short.

Oh brother.....women, never happy with what they've got hahaha lol
SORRY Jojobo, couldn't resist
And how many gems do you already have? I bet loads lol
NR wires in the channels, as if you were installing a normal setup.
I use that method in my Odysseus V1 (both channels are ceramic), negative wire contact is made by trapping it with the Upper Connection Nut, like in the following picture:
If you have an Odysseus V2 (one ceramic channel (+) and one metal chanel (-)) you can put the negative wire same way as if it were and Odysseus V1, since there will not be wick on the metal channel to push the negative wire and ensure a good contact.
It looks like this, but insted mesh you use silica wick (only at the top and not down the channels):
I use 3.5mm or 3mm silica wick from COV and some times 100% cotton yarn.
I have tried the Nextel XS-116 (XC-116 is not exportable outside USA), but I didn't like it because it easily frays in little fragments.
I am happy for my Ody cause he gets some more extratime. We have been a strong team since over a years now and there are only a handful days where I didn't vape my Ody. I tried a lot of vaping gear but nothing gave me that rich sensation of the Ody...
Until now - so I am curious for the Ithaka and I strongly believe that he will take my Odys place but I enjoy every day with my metal compagnion Odysseus since then!

All I know is with only 1 GGTS and GG tanks, I am going to have to get ahold of another GG. Stealth maybe?
I love the Mr. Krinkle method, I have the same results as Ariel with it
Hi,
Were I can found more information or video on About mr. Krinkle method ?
Thanks

Stealth sounds good, Ithaka and Achilles will bring their own air draw control, you can upgrade the length if you want, put any 510 mod onto it, or even put a Full AD Cap onto it later if you feel you want a 2nd GGTS.
It's the most flexible option imo.

ditto - I do not understand without wick in the channels why it doesn't leak.?
No air in, no liquid out, a negative pressure is created when you draw on it, think about how a DC carto tank works.
The wick is in the top of the channel where it effectively absorbs the liquid while preventing it from pouring through the mouth piece.
I went ahead and tried this out of interest in all things GG. My first impression is, it works. But an interesting point to mention is that I had to open the MP a lot for good wicking to occur. My Ody is 30ga kenthal on silica at 1ohm and 4.2 volts 18650 IMR.
