it is sub but tomorrow I will start making the new Penelope as you know. I will do that when I will start preorders for previous GG items:)
Imeo, would it be possible to make a new center post and rebuildable base for Ithaka to have a larger hole? I'm curious to try this now! Especially as a lung hitter!

So I have gotten my 510 Ithaca base stuck on a ghost modder stealth cap. I his e tried to heat and freeze with no luck. Tried to use rubber gloves for grip, I'm out of ideas and do not wish to damage either part. Any ideas?:confused:

hole of all atomizers and GG atomizers too is at 1,5mm Sha. Now I made it at 2mm. 0,5mm more is too big for air and if new Penelope didnt have air control then mouthitters wouldnt be able to vape it.
Is it gonna be the updated Penelope you mentioned earlier for the lung hitters :D

pho, sorry if you already mention that big holes are for direct lung hitters. I agree with you of course that people that vape like this need bigger holes.

My designs are for mouth hitters of course because I never was a lung hitter. Also all China atomizers were made and still are made for mouth hitters. I only learned about lung hitters on ecf before some months when Bishop first mention it

Well i wouldn't go so far to say all Chinese atomizers are designed for mouth hitters, that's just not true... case in point would be the Dream atomizer (made in china) knockoff of the kayfun... see the stock holes on there? They're about 3/32 - try to mouth hit through that, its impossible like you said... The Forge atomizer also has adjustable airflow, wide open it's about 3/32... the playing field is changing a bit.

I understand why you would design an atomizer for mouth hitters, it's because probably 90% of the e-cig population mouth hits. But my point was: if manufacturers can make adjustable airflow, why not make them to a size that accommodates lung hitters too? It won't effect the device, the 90% of the mouth hitters out there could just adjust the hole to the smaller mouth hitting size and then everyone is happy.

That was my point, wasn't taking shots at you imeo, i still use mouth hitting devices too like ithaka, like my kayfun, like my rsst, etc. In fact the Ithaka's design sold me - $200 later, I still don't mind mouth hitting through it, even though my preferred way is direct lung. Sometimes direct lung hitting isn't cool in my cubicle at work because I can produce 2x the vapor doing it that way, and sometimes you need to be stealthy :vapor:

I was just saying that lung hitting is becoming popular amongst people in my local area (southern california) with all the dual coil / sub-1.0ohm vaping. I plan on doing some drilling this weekend with my friend's dremmel to try and figure a way to expand the Ithaka's airflow - I plan on posting a video or the dremmel process and also before and afters.

Keep you guys posted, thanks again for the advice/information! Vape.0n!

I turned basic feeding on today to see what it was like. i get a gurgling sound and a more airy draw. while i like the convenience of having it open, i dont think ill continue to use it this way unless i am using heavy VG juice. the hit is less consistent it seems.
anyone else have a similar experience?
