I dont know what pluid is made of and I dont know why it make so big damage to plastics so better use it only on steel tanks. If it ruins plastics then you vape plastic.

I dont know what it can do on o-rings
Imeo, over time pluid has been known to crack plastic tanks. It hasn't ever cracked any of mine but it has etched it horribly. One thing I also noticed today that is has melted the plastic caps on my carto tank. So my question is: will pluid affect the rubber o rings inside ithika or any other parts on it. I have already pre-ordered metal tank piece to replace plastic one on ithika.

Only 2-3 people have this issue Mono, so I will not make Ithaka with this o-ring standard because it will be more difficult to unscrew the base from the engraved tube. But if anyone wants this o-ring, he can order it for free from my sellers:)
Will new Ithaka come with these or standard o-ring ? Also have pre-order with extra o-ring set from esmokeguru.

Quick question. Sometimes when I screw the center post into Ithaka it comes out crooked, sometimes more than others. The threads screw on smooth so I don't think the threads or off or anything - any tips? Sometimes it's perfectly straight, sometimes very slightly crooked, sometimes more... can't figure out how to consistently get it perfect!

tubes will still close with the bigger o-ring, no worries about that lord.

I didnt understand that part, sorry "do you think replacing the last part of the tube may also fix the leaking"

I'm just afraid replacing the original 16x1 o-ring the new 17x1 o-ring will be visible once the tank is closed, being not so good looking anymore :)

About the o-ring; so we can contact your resellers and ask for the 17x1 o-ring? When do you think they will have the o-rings available?

My Ithaka is starting leaking even when not refilling :(

adjustable brass post cant be bend because only 1,5mm of it sticks out of the steel center post yankee. As for ther steel center post, it cant be bend, it just moves itself against the plastic insulator between center post and ceramic housing

So when the center post is crooked, is it that little plastic O-ring that is doing it? I really feel like the threads are screwed on perfectly, it's when I tighten it that it goes crooked.

And also, I'm terrified of forcing the post straight because I don't want to crack the ceramic, either! Especially when I have screwed it on perfectly before, so I know it can be done!

Went back today to the dual coil X config. Love it!!!! .75 ohms and hitting like a mother Fker!! I will say this. That my next coil will be a single 1.5 ohm that I liked last time and the reason Is that I find both equally enjoyable and that's what this Atty is all about!!! Choices people. That's what we all have been asking for and we finally have it.

Cheers again to you Imeo. Play around with it folks. You might find like me that you like a change now and then.

Peace

Crooked center post issues: It has to do with the build up of negative-side NR wire between the housing and the insulator nut, and the build up of positive-side NR wire between the center post o-ring and the stopper on the center post. If you wrap too much/unevenly, this creates a build up of NR wire with an uneven surface, thus causing the center post to become crooked when installed. Take your time when securing the wires and don't wrap too much, a full revolution is more than enough. If you set it up properly, there is no need to forcefully adjust the center post after assembly. As an afterthought: a damaged insulator nut and/or damaged center post o-ring could also obviously contribute to a crooked center post, but if they are not worn, then your issue is wire buildup.

Great analysis of the crooked centerpost issue. Thumbs up. Thanks. I have been having crooked centerpost too but don't really mind it since being a bit off-centered doesn't affect anything anyway.
