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

Not to worry. I have had mine for the past week. It too came without the o-rings for the clear window. It has not leaked one drop of e-juice. It's simply a vaping machine . . . Enjoy.

Imeo, I have a problem with my latest Ithaka- the brass telescopic connection pin is not in the center of 150 - it touches the 510 conncctor when it fully assembled. I checked everything and found no problem. But now I can use the Ithaka only with GGTS base and can't use it in 510 mode. How can I fix the problem?

This worked for me.

Okay, I just had my first major leak with my Ithaka, this morning.

I removed both of the top caps and started to fill the tank. Something wasn't right, as it keep taking on e-juice. then, I realized that the juice was leaking into my hand. Duh . . . I had the mouth piece open. What a dummy. :oops:

Even Imeo cannot make a device totally DUMMY proof. :p

the reason why the center pin is not in the middle of the 510 post:

you screw the center pin to the ceramic housing TOO HARD, and the buttom of the ceramic housing bites the plastic insulator more on one side than the other. unscrew it and take a look at your plastic insulator, and you will see...

I though it was because of the positive post o-ring not compressing evenly.
Simple enough to adjust regardless...

So, a general question. Now that I have found my set ups, and there is nothing to play with. Is there a general consensus on how long a wick works, before a new one is needed? I think my ithakas are about 4 to 6 weeks old, I do a dry burn and clean after each tank. They are still working and seem fine, just wondered if anyone has a certain end date for wicks/coils.

No general consensus because every juice vapes differently. And everyone has different tastebuds. I finally changed my Ithaka coil on Monday that I installed around 5/1. But my old juices killed any coil in any device in a day or 2.

Thanks fright, you must have vaped some crazy juices. In the past I had a few nets that would gunk up to much to where I can taste it after about 3mls, but never a juice that completed killed a coil.

I figured these can go quite a while seeing as some commercial drip atties are used for months.

I have a few questions from a new, and very happy, Ithaka user. First, I have a very small amount of juice coming out of the bottom, around the air hole where the ring is. Is it just left over vapor coming out? Is that normal, or do I have a very small leak somewhere? I took my time building it and made sure that all O-rings were seated properly, if I could see them anyway. And, second, has anyone used MM Agent Orange in an Ithaka and does it cause any problems with the plastic window. I have an extra, but I don't want to mess the original up by using a juice when I can order a SS one and avoid the problem all together. Thanks in advance for any help.
