Ithaka official

[imeothanasis]

Thanks mad, that was very kind of you

dont get me wrong... all this experimenting is great... I just think it needed to be stated how great the Ithaka is using your standard method

Weird, I felt the same way when I got my first Ithaka, I has to have another. I also felt like I needed more so, I bought every GG atty and use them all.

That is something like: "Many GGs to rule them all?"

guys, the more you screw the ceramic housing on base, the better. There is no way for the o-ring to leak because you tight it too much

 

[imeothanasis]

One more thing. If you cant turn easily the telescopic mouthpiece, its because you have set it on its highest level and the stopper hits the cap. So please put mouthpiece in a lower position by pushing it a little.

Hmm interesting.. there must be something else going on then because I screw the housing in VERY TIGHT to the base and liquid leaks out from the base hole (around the center post)
I look into the hole and it looks like the o-ring is smooshed in a strange way where there is an opening.

I will try a new o-ring first, though!

Come to think of it, maybe it's leaking because I started wrapping my nickel around the positive center post twice instead of just once (after watching some videos, I think Bishop does it [but with silver]) - maybe there is too much nickel under the O-ring now, and it's uneven? Next build I will use a new O-ring and only wrap around center post once (how I used to do it)
Not really sure why I even changed that, it worked ok with one wrap!

guys just wanted to share this..
i d earlier posted tht i was getting a burnt taste with certain liquids only. i tried all options suggested by our little gg family.
now i ve stopped getting tht burnt taste.
i was wrapping the coil very tight,
so with all the juices with which i was getting the burnt taste, i tried wrapping the coil not so tight, n this worked.
i m guessing all juices with 50/50 proportions dnt wick as well as each other, some wick better than the others even thgh their proportion is the same.
i m no expert but this is the only reason i can think of.
just thght id share this here, and contribute a liitle to this wonderfull community!

Maybe thats a reason sub. I always do one wrap around the center post

That makes sense Imeo, I never noticed it until I started doing that.. I guess I just needed to put 2 and 2 together!

Imeo could you tell me the size(is US) of this o ring and where I could get it? My pluid basically melted it :/ it's the one if the inside of the tele mouthpiece. The one that holds it in place and seals the inside

 

[imeothanasis]

its 3x1,5 icig

Thank you so much! Anyone have any idea of what local stores would have this?

Hey guys, does anyone know where to get 1mm silica? I'd love to find some other sizes that aren't available at CoV.
I know you can remove strands, but I'd really love to find some smaller sizes (1mm-2.5mm)! I don't quite trust random eBay sales, unless someone has experience with a certain vendor.
Thanks!

 

[yankeebobo]

I know where you can get 1.5s. Not sure about 1s

Yeah, if the coil is really tight, the wick can't draw as much. It's much like wringing out a wet towel.

You can make a spacer out of piece of wire. Take a piece and fold it double, then spread it out a little and sandwich your wick in it. Wrap the coil tight around it, then pull out the wire. Something stiffer like 28 ga. is easier, but should work with something slimmer. It doesn't really have to be any particular type of wire if you can find something stiffer than your coil wire.

Lightningvapes on ebay. Been getting my 1mm silica from them. It's good silica. Doesn't fray and has no unusual taste to it like some silica.

Imeo I am having trouble finding that size, is there anyway you could tell me what the size this is in ID OR OD. Inside and outside diameter and think ness?

 

[subver]

I think I solved my leaking issue, I only wrapped the positive post wire once like I used to and didn't screw the rebuildable part in so hard.. Seems to be fine now!
