To my opinion, tight draw happens only when wick is too close to the upper connection nut Shi.Maybe wick is push too hard to the ceramic. You will not see this issue with small nut because its short

Interesting... I wish I had a pic of the nut, I have no idea what is being referred to. As far as wicking and such... Here is my setup, the coils are sitting flat against the top of the internal atomizer housing. The coils cannot be seen when viewing from the side.
As for wick pushing up against the ceramic too hard, I am not sure what you mean by that.

I mean that you may push the wick deep on ceramic so it comes too close to where the air comes shi. But maybe a small piece of metal or wick is inside the center post. Put a needle inside center post to clean it

How are the parallel coils, Shiryo? It certainly looks beautiful. I just have it drilled in my head to always have the coils directly in line with the center post hole. I still need to try those micro coils like you've got going on.
What is your total resistance there?
Well, the air flow control on the mod is wide open (Nemesis). I don't have any chopped wick blocking the air holes either, none down the center post either, this ithaka is only 2 days old, brand new.
But I found that opening the mouthpiece juice flow has given me a tiny bit more air flow...
The parallel coils are great, just getting used to the Ithaka. I wanted something straightforward. As you may have seen me say to Imeo, the Ithaka is brand new, this is my first setup and I am just learning. The coils are composed of 1/16" inner-diameter 28 awg Kanthal A1 body with 32 awg .999 fine sterling silver NR leggings. The wicks are 1.5mm (I know that 2.5mm wicks and above are meant to be used and even a flavor wick here or there). But as I said, I wanted to go with a simple setup first and see what I could get out of it.
The overall resistance... I just checked it, as I don't believe in checking resistance before firing, I go off of my intuition and then check later out of curiosity. With that said, I expected a 0.7Ω overall. On the DMM, I am getting readings between 1-1.5Ω.

Ah ok, I was just curious. I started out using silver as well but I kept breakign it off in Ithaka (it worked better in Ody) so I moved on to nickel.. much easier to work with - just a tip 
Your coils look great, I keep seeing these very tight/no gap coils that everyone is making, I gotta try that out.. and still need to try ribbon kanthal!
Glad it's working out for you!

Shi, try to inhale with your Ithaka outside your mod. If its airy then its a fault of your mod.
That happened to me the other day, tight draw with air control wide open. It was a little piece of char inside the center post, as my Ithaka was full of liquid and my setup was perfect, I did not disassemble it, just used a needle to clear the obstruction (inserted it from the bottom part of the center post).
If there is any residue material on the mod 510 connector, it could clog the center post air intake, it could be also a piece of silica, a bur or a piece of wire.

Yeah I been using the mini-micro setups for the past 2 months now, i love them, lower resistance, more area burning and best part is same performance of a sub-ohm with the flavor of... well tons of flavor lol!
Check out my RDA build...
Yeah, I have tried it off the mod and it's a liiiittle better, I guess i'm just too used to dual 2mm air holes on RDAs... But I do notice a slight bit of added airflow tightness when I put it on my Nemesis... Nemesis is brand new too, I don't see anything clogging up the air holes on it.
I wonder if a bigger center post tube or variation will be possible, would like to be able to adjust it as open as a 5-6mm air hole, down to a 1.5mm air hole.
Video is coming soon about this. I recieved the new nut Wednesday and I been using it. So far I have to tell you. NO!!! I HAVE TO SHOW YOU!!! FORGETABOUTIT!!!!!!!. Stay tune I'll post it on Youtube later today.
Bish, you are a mad man, bro. Gotta love it. Looking forward to your comments.

workie
great picture , but you know darn well Steve there is only one mod in that picture that wont leave your turnout gear pocket full of juice after crawling around in a structure fire!
sadly , I speak from experience. LOLGG is the only high end pocket friendly vape for high stress work environments!
again great pic brother!
And only one I'm scared to bring in with me, The GG lol, 500 bucks is alot to lose on a fire
Ithaka is too airy on justGG Shi, so its an issue with your mod as I see it. But before we get any conclusion please put on Ithaka the small center post nut and check again

Does anyone have any tips for reducing the moist condensation inside the air control area and on the mod's positive post? my setup has a looooot of condensation (not eliquid) in the air control area
My new travel bffs! The Ithaka is the only silica atty I've had that can compare to gens... Now I can leave my genesis builds safe at home, as these things are beast and are perfect for travel.
Quality work imeo!

I got my new Ithaka this week and it doesn't have O-rings on the clear tank. Are they no longer used?
