So I been playing with the Ithaka for about a week now and I believe I have found my very own perfect coil :D I took two pieces of 3.5mm wick and took two strands out of each, torched the wicks to clean off any residual stuffs from the factory and then placed them side by side and wrapped a coil with I believe it was a 3/4 or 4/5 wrap of 30 AWG Kanthal wire using 32 AWG Pure Nickel NR Wires and then ran the four tails down te chambers with no X Pattern. This yielded a 1.1 ohm coil and allowed me to block off completely the lower feeder slots from the chambers with a nice snug fit to avoid any leaks at all. It vapes absolutely perfect for me and blows HUGE! Plumes of Vapor and the flavor is beyond compare with my darker juices with absolutely Zero Burnt taste :D

This atomizer is so perfectly versatile IMEO it isn't even funny, Very Very Amazing Work my Friend :D

Sincerely;
Nate

OK, I'm still having this little issue with gurgling... I get a small amount of liquid into the central air hole, and this is making me crazy. Has anyone figured out a way around this? or maybe an idea on what is causing it? or where the liquid comes from? This is happening more than I would expect. I have to either take Ithaka off of my device, and get rid of the liquid, or suck really hard for a few times on the mouthpiece to get the liquid out, or shake the whole thing like imeo said... Why is this liquid ending up in that air hole in the first place? any way to PREVENT that?
Thanks

I have the same thing happening Ali, especially after refilling...I do drip out the 510 after filling too...not sure what is going on with that because I usually refill when tank is dry and everything is closed...

Thank you Devon my friend:)
The only thing Ithaka needs is its telescopic mouthpiece to make it shorter or longer. The second atomizer made in sections after Odysseus. Then Ithaka will have more than all the features a vaper needs. I dont even remeber them all lol

Ali, you have the mouthpiece more open that your volts require. So vape with closed mouthpiece until you feel a burn taste. Then open it again little by little until you see where you have the perfect vape.

As you see, Ithaka is not like Ody that when you had a gurgling you couldnt vape because of overflooding. Ithaka gurgles a little when it gets more liquid than the apropriate but it doesnt overflood and still allows you to vape normal

Thanks Imeo my good friend. Yes, I tried closing the mouthpiece and vaping until burnt taste and then opening it , but NOT little, so I will try this for a few days to see what happens.

I will also appreciate any other tips and tricks from you and all other friends in this thread.

Ariel,

I had the same problem until i re positioned the nuts to feed the mini tank under the ceramic. The center post nut needs to be repositioned so you can see two little cuts in the bottom!

thanks Nate! Happy day to you too :)
Happy Mothers day to all the Moms and all the Dads that step in for Moms!!!

You are very welcome Jojobo :D And Yes definitely to all the Dad's who step in as Mom's there are a lot of them out there :D

The other thing I found that helped me with the slight gurgle was setting the two Slots that feed the wick channels on the securing nut 180 degrees out from the Wick Channels themselves and then just using the mouthpiece for juice control like with Odysseus. This is for my thinner juices. For my thicker juices setting them dead centered on the wick channels works great with a 1mm rise in the mouthpiece juice feeder.

Thank you Devon my friend:)

You are very welcome my Friend, this device is simply amazing. The telescopic mouthpiece would be great :D I also want to eventually get one of the Mouthpieces that accepts all 510 drip tips but that can wait since I actually really like the Stock Mouthpiece on Ithaka and Odysseus already :D

Sincerely;
Nate

ahahaha, I knew that you would said that pl.

I asked about improving Ithaka, not for a new atomizer. If I ever make a mesh style atomizer, I will do it only to sell it , not to vape it.

A real innovation is another style atomizer that I have in mind but we are far from it. Its an electronic atomizer. But first I have to make Proteus and VIR
