Dear all , a very good day to everyone and i hope all are well .
Dear Imeo sir , a good day to you and hope you and your family are well .

Wanted to cheer that my Ithaka came today , and i love it .
took me about 5 minutes to set up and have been vaping on it for the last couple of hours .

This is my 1st GG device and i am sure that its the beginning of a lot more to come form your stable .

I already have managed to get a fairly new Penelope with a Kir fanis fatty tank and its on its way to me thanks to a very sweet person in Canada .

The work on the Ithaka is flawless , the threading is clean and smooth and everything is truly top-notch .

I congratulate you once again for making such a lovely device for all of us .

I have a simple setup , No dual coils , just simple , 2 wicks on each side with one coil in the center , 1.7 ohms and vaping like a champion :) .
I am Indeed very very happy with my purchase .

I wish you well Sir .
warm regards
Sah

#3971 arrived earlier this week, but I didn't get around to setting her up until yesterday. Doubled up vaporbase wick with 0.6Ω single coil, and she's pumping out some amazing vapor and flavor...even better than my Pennies and Odys!!! I will definitely be upgrading my Odys when spare parts become available. I hope that it's not considered sacrilege, but I'm not a fan of shiny things so I did end up tweaking the finish a little bit.

Looks Great!
Can you explain the procedure and materials used to get that finish?

TIA,

Just outside my comfort zone.
I forgot to include my serial # 1304.

Thanasis, do you have any plans to make a center post with another threaded part for the positive wire connection (like Penny and Ody), instead of just the o-ring being pressed up against the positive wire? So we would have the negative connection on top, and another threaded nut+o-ring for the positive. Just curious what you think about that. Thanks!

Vacationing in Florida but Ithaka says its in my mailbox back in New Hampshire. My quit smoking again date has almost arrived!! Need a link to a coil build video so I can learn before I get back on Monday.

Cheers!!

*Sacrilege!* Nah, just kidding :)

I decided to go with Doolak's 3mm wick as well. Performing really well, but I think I'll remove a few strands to 2.5mm and un-weave it. No dry hits at all, but I am having to open up the fluid control(MP) quite a lot.

I can see that the wick that came with my Ithaka looks very good, which I will be testing soon :)

To anyone having connection issues with the retractable pin on 510 connections: I have realized that slow and steady is the way to go when attaching the Ithaka to the PV. Alternatively, holding the Ithaka stationary and twisting the PV works much better for me. Sounds silly but give it a try, you'll see what I mean.

Imeo I do have the o rings in place. My only thought was maybe screwed on the top cap to tight and it created some extra pressure. Very minimal leaking. However it is coming not from the clear window. It is below the wings where it meets the gg base

I noticed my Ithaka is also leaking where the lower base meets the GG connector. Everything looks nice and snug but it leaves a wet spot on the paper towel. Did you figure out what was causing your leaking?

Amerite, thats a negative. Took it apart built a dual coil and tried again. I may swap some of the o rings around to check for a better fit next time.

I'm going to put some Vaseline on the the threads and see if it helps on the next re-build. It wasn't leaking on my first build which is why I'm troubled. And this tobacco flavored juice (vapor station Frisco) has never cracked a tank before. Please keep us informed of your results and I'll do the same.

I'm noticing the same moisture. I think it's just condensation. Just like the collector tank area in a GGTS. Does the moisture on yours appear to be e-liquid?
