Loving this Ithaka Imeo.. I haven't once opened the mouthpiece and I have not had any flooding.. The basic feeder is awesome, it's only on one wick but I can chain vape without opening the mouthpiece and without leaking.
So awesome, I love it Imeo!
I can't wait to try more setups!

Imeo I'm having some leaking between the lower tank and the base. I think someone mentioned this before. Did you have this problem? The leaking is just few drops appearing. I was thinking maybe you can include a thicker o ring in the oring set in preorder. If only very few people are having this then it is some user error.

Hey guys,
Take a look at this:

Thanks for this! I've never been a fan of dual coils. I've been running my Ithaka @ 1.2-1.5 ohms single coil installed diagonally with double wicks. I've been building them the way your diagram shows for the last few days and this makes it much easier and neater when finished. :)

I had this kind of leaks on one of my Ithakas too. Currently I used an 17x1 Ring for the base and so far it works fine, but I'd like if there are any drops tomorrow morning... :)
A 14x1,5 or 16x1,5 ring (taken from Ody) works basically too but they are too thick so you can't screw the tank down to the base, instead you will see the ring between base and tank but it should seal fine...

Not all o-rings are made the same aal, so you can put a 17x1 to stop even the smallest leakage. I dont have this problem of course because if I had it I would put 17x1 o-ring there

O-ring sits in a different position now black and doesnt leak. If you want to be always sure, better put a 17x1.:)
Hi Imeo,

Tore it down rebuilt and now it's not leaking. Refilled it twice today and no issues. Not sure what the problem was but appears to be fixed. One thing I am doing is taking it off of TS before removing top caps to refill. All is right with the world again!

I buy Kingor

He didn't carry the 30 awg nickel so I ended up buying 100ft 30 awg Nickel wire from temco_industrial_power - here is the listing - says it's pure nickel so I think it should be good! I usually use 32 awg silver but was thinking 30 awg would be better.. not only more sturdy but I can use thicker kanthal if I wanted to experiment... I've really only ever used 32 awg kanthal for all my coils... it worked so good the first time I didn't even take any time to experiment with other gauges!
I still have a lot of experimenting to do.. generally if I find a build I like I have no reason to change it up much.. but I really should take the time to try.. maybe I'll find something better for me!

For people that dont like the fact that center post of Ithaka screws together with 510 threads so Ithaka sits flush on mods (I dont see a reason that anyone doesnt like that because it was made just for the above reason)

Screw first Ithaka's 510 base on your mod, then adjust Ithaka's center post and then screw Ithaka on its 510 base.

I think you will really like it. My first rebuildable was a genny, loved it but got tired of it not being pocket friendly. Then i got into the gg atomizers, and now have quite the set up.

My ithaka should be here today. Soo can't wait for this as it is my 1st silica rebuildable ever. Been using gennys for over a year now but getting really tired of all the leaking. I hope I have found my answer. Think it'll look stunning on my polished shockwave.
