dont forget to push coils so they will touch each other sub. When you release them they not contact each other

Do you mean for the micro coils? Have you tried parallel micro coils in Ithaka? How was it?
And yeah I've been watching a couple videos on people making them.. I will fire the coils red hot and squeeze them together with needle nose pliers many times first. I'll have to try it out soon!
Check out this big Microcoil thread
They are basically very tiny coils wrapped with thicker wire, and all the coils touch each other, basically forming a single tube rather than a coil. People say they achieve sub-ohm-like vapes with better flavor at higher ohms.
I think most people use 28g wire wrapped around a 1/16" drill bit, wrapped very tight. Then they fire the coils until they are red hot and squeeze them together with pliers, and repeat that step a few times. There is a video about it in that thread somewhere too.
Most people also use cotton with microcoils because it wicks better than silica.
Another appeal to it is that it's supposed to be quick and easy to just pull old cotton out and rethread more, but that part would be hard to do on Ithaka, unless it was parallel coils.
Anyway, people are going crazy over how good it apparently is but I have not tried it yet. I would love the extra battery life, too, if I can emulate .7ohm dual coils with something like 1.2ohm dual micros!
Can't wait to try it on Ithaka!

Bishopheals has a good video on ribbon wire in an Ithaka.. A lot of people love it, I personally haven't tried yet though.
Ribbon works great. May need to hang into the ribbon while wrapping until you run out depending in how well your joint holds up.
Not a new method to micro coil. Not worth the time for me, as standard coils with silica, Ekowool, wire and ribbon are plenty for me. My GG attys need no help
Many including me will warn that you educate yourself on sub ohms. This means more than watching videos on how to build them.
In fact, if you aren't familiar with ohms, volts, wire gauge, tubes, multi meters, risk vs reward than you will be busy for a long while and then hopefully the desire will fade.
Many of us have paid our dues wrapping a 1000 coils and it was well worth the education.
As Imeo stated my Ithaka works even with broken ceramic edge-and it works fantastic! I'm very impressed! Now when it's sitting on my new JGG it will be even better. Thank you Imeo.
Yup did .3 ribbon wire. Works good. Bit more vapor than say 32 kanthal as well.
OK Imeo, I have only 1 issue troubling me with Ithaka, where I see Odysseus better than Ithaka. But this is a very specific issue where you use a thick liquid and your tank is nearly empty. As you all know or may have noticed, the rebuildable part of Ithaka, although same size as the one of Ody's, it sits higher in the base. And that is why you see that the mouthpiece of Ithaka has a bigger base to accomodate for this. When using thick liquid let us forget about basic feeding, we assume it is closed. Now when the liquid becomes low in the tank, i find my self tinkering around my PV, moving left and right and tilting to be able to finish it. I can make it finish no problem there, but it is that annoying half an hour of playing around with the liquid that drives me crazy lol. If i am topping up i don't care, but when i want to change my coil, sometimes i just open it and i see liquid still there which goes to waste (my hands!). With Ody (and Penelope) you don't have that problem, once you have dry hits, you know your tank is dry, and you can open it and do whatever you want. I am assuming this difference is mainly caused by first the walls of ithaka being thinner than Ody, and second the longer distance between the coil and the base where the final drops of liquids reside.
Again Ithaka is better than Ody in a lot of things, I already talked about that and there is no doubt about it. However this small thing pushes my buttons from time to time. If anyone has any suggestion or advice feel free to comment. What i tried so far: - putting the basic feeding higher, doesn't work because really you are not changing the distance between coil and base, - Use a less thick juice, this for sure works lol.

aal do you screw your basic feed nut all the way down as tight as possible before you tighten the ceramic housing???? If you do you'll find no liquid remains unused
I do but i keep it closed. Because the wicking from basic feeding to the top of the ceramic is a long way, and thick juices don't seem to wick well all this way. I will have to wait a long time for it to wick and take one drag and wait, it would be easier for me to throw it away lol.
But you gave me an idea, maybe i should try to make the wick very thin at the basic feeding opening, and a little thicker above it, this way it will shoot easily up. But then I am afraid liquid will go down to the secondary tank and stay there as well.
EDIT: Now when i am reading my posts i find it a stupid problem, but really Ithaka is so great that we get stuck on the small things

It's much less than half ml. It's only a few drops buddy
I use .4 ribbon wire on mine. If you use Silver with your zapper remember that silver will melt quicker than nickel so don't try to fuse it with high volts. I really like ithaka with the ribbon wire. I use a lot of sweet juices and have to clean it less often. Vapor is great as well. Hope this helps.
Aal,
Put your Ody base on it instead. Draining the tank is no problem when the 2 are combined.
I find the Ody has plenty to brag about, by adding the Ithaka dual to it, its nearly perfect for how I use it. I make 1 ohm single coils w/double wicks. Most times it runs dry before I notice it.
