I emailed Manolis and he was very prompt in returning my email. The only problem is that the tsaf costs $101! I'm going to do business with Mev and juice Kitchen on the Zapper. I can't afford the tsaf. It seems like a month ago it was $60 or am I wrong about that? Is there a difference in the two that should make the price that different?
The zapper cost me 80 bucks somehow as well.... may I ask you why your questioning paying 100 for the tsaf when you pay 200 for each gg item lol

I can't justify spending that kind of money on something that performs a task that I could easily do with my bare hands or needle nose pliers in about the same amount of time. On the other hand, I know people who can't justify spending $180+ on a rba so I guess it comes down to a matter of opinion...or laziness...or arthritis...or lack of money....
wow, at those prices I could make my own. Well, I did for under $20. Those guys are taking advantage of people. But that's the way of free enterprise I reckon.
Good question, I don't know, it just seems like an awful lot for the item. LOL
You're probably thinking of it being 60 Euro.. so 60 + 10 (shipping) Euro is about $91 - the Tsaf+ is $101 (has a USB charging port which isn't super necessary if you're trying to save money I suppose)
I shipped them on Thursday repent
Good morning Imeo my good friend! OK so they shipped out Thursday so probably soon Bruce will ship to me. I am excited to get Ithaka and to give Ody a much needed rest.
I just received my Royal Mail package from GG UK (even though they are no longer a GG dealer) and did a quick comparison of the original Ithaka window and the new Odysseus Upgrade window. See photos below.
Here is the original window I am trying to replace. not sure what liquid was used by previous owner(s), but the tank did not hold up so well...
Here is a direct side-by-side of the two windows
Here is the new window on the SN ring
After installation, the new window will add approximately 2mm to the length and the threads are substantially longer. Due to the longer threads, the SN ring does not seal to the base's o-ring. I estimate I will need to remove roughly 1.5 - 2 mm from the threads for this to seal properly.
I will post when I have completed this task and how well it worked.

Got email this morning that my Ithaka and extras were dispatched from e-smoke... Postie stalking commences...
Thanks Imeo..
Just in reply to above posts... the Zapper is £34.99 which isn't a bad price i think myself, postage is £3.70 in UK, £8.80 Europe, £9.80 ROW.
it's not fair to be filling this thread with wire welder convos though, sorry about that.

I find it difficult twisting nr to flat ribbon kanthal or nr to twisted kanthal.., wire welder makes it a snap...plus my fingers get all cramped.
It also makes a seamless join which leaves more room for tucking behind wick.
I ordered the TSAF and it was ready in one week, I'm waiting for it now as it is in transit.
I am proficient at twisting my own, but with 2 Odys & 3 Ithakas, & 1 iAtty, twisting is to time consuming. The TSAF should make making a lot of coils a lot quicker & easier, especially when doing double coils.
Ordering it was an easy decision.

Is that the Ody extension clear window? Hmm, I have 2 of those. I will see about being able to use them with the Ithaka parts I have coming.
Yes, I was unable to find an Ithaka window so I was forced to find "alternative methods"
I used my homemade lathe to turn down one end of the Ody window by 2mm (I think the other end will have enough clearance.) I am almost done with my current tank of e-liquid and I will be testing this out on the next refill.
