I'm having a lot of connection problems with mine. I'm using an RSST. I have trouble getting the center pin to properly connect. I need to fiddle with it a lot. Also, what is the point of the stupid adapter? Why not just have the connection at the top of the gold ring? And the post always comes out of the adapter. I'm thinking about getting the replacement top cap for it. Also, where can I get a spring for it?

The GGTS was originally (still is) designed for attys and cartos, to be used with the air control and collector tank to catch any excess liquid from them. The only tanks around at the time were the GG AVS, AFS, and UFS, which attach directly to the GGTS with no need for the 510 connector. The adapter was made for folks to use non-GG devices on it. Many folks who are purchasing the MKB-TS have some knowledge of the GG line-up, and are using the Oddy / GGTS adapter to use the Terminator (Oddy clone) for the same kind of hybrid device the GGTS sports with the Oddy and Ithaka.

The Top cap can be found at Stormys:

New Top Cap for MKB-TS

I know of no other place to purchase a spring which fits..

Thanks. I've got a Terminator coming and I ordered the cap. But how do GG devices fit without an adapter? Do they have a longer post on the connector?

Here you go:

New Odysseus Base-GGTS

EDIT: BTW, just replace the Terminator base with the Oddy / GGTS base... It will then screw-in where the gold top cap was on the MKB-TS.

I'm assuming these instructions go also for the Nautilus, which I understand is the same unit as the Terminator, just with a different name, right?

Yes, it should fit just fine..

And again Nautilus and Terminator (Oddy clones) only differ in name only

I'm sorry. The whole thing is just a little unnerving, mainly because i understand there's a real POS clone out there. Near as I can figure the bad one is called "The Oddy" or something like that. So, sorry to bring it up agian.

 

[inganeer]

I think it is called the "Choddy". It is made by Tobecco

Yes, it can be confusing while attempting to source parts... The POS version is made by Tobeco. There's a vendor unloading his stock of them for $26.95 a pop... (personally, I wouldn't touch them)

Only one place that I know of called their Tobeco Oddy clone "Terminator-C" but soon started selling the one made by Rainbow but that was short lived also. That was Moutain Oak Vapors, still the place to pickup a MKB-TS for $53 with "JUNESAVE" coupon code (you can only apply it one time though)
How I don't understand but they have 53 in stock.

I plan on eventually getting a couple of these Term/Naut's, if I enjoy them as I anticipate. Going to stear clear of the Tobeco's. Thanks for the info.

I have actually put my Tobeco back into service. No liquid control and I had to shorten the center pin. I wouldn't buy another one but it is sure a lot better than some of the other atomizers that I have in that price range. Mine now works quite well, it stays on my desk on a Vamo. Better than a Smok ViVi tank (early) but doesn't really compare with a Term.
I talked to Eric a DV way back about not restocking them when his run out, I'm pretty sure that's what he did.

I have 2 Tobeco ody clones. The 1st one, was great out of the box, no leaking.. just works fine on a 2m wick, 1.6 ohm coil. The second one i have... leaks, leaks.. refuses to function well. So i have it back in the box as a spare parts unit. I might attempt to rebuild it with some new o-rings from stormy's.. But i am realy only using my large terminator-c + long clear tube from rampage. All sitting atop my sig #8 + SG-1 adapter. I am hoping my ody base comes in this week, so i can set up a terminator-c on my mkb-ts. I hope every one has a great day, being monday and all.
2: Tobeco
3: Terminator-C
great vape!!

I've been having a blast with the MKB-TS, and all the quality accessories available.. I can't wait for the Ithaka clone from Rainbow to come out... Check out the pic from Vapor-Freak's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/vapor.freak

i thought I saw the price on it somewhere, and it was lie $150 or something like that....may have been $125....cant remember. With my term working so well, I really dont see a need yet to upgrade to the ithaka clone. I dont use dual coils, and with gg oddy base I have full air control on the mkb.....all Ive used since I got it set up. Provaris are collecting dust right now...

I'm going to play with some dual-coils, and grab an Ithaka / GGTS base for it myself...

 

[UA72Riddle]

Shouldnt it be adapted for the ggts already? I think the parts I have seen, and based on what I remember from the Ithaka.....the 510 base is removable and it mounts directly on a ggts (or MKB in this case)?

You are right Tech, wouldnt hurt to have one to play around with. Might actually be worth it just to have the OPTION to run dual coils....even if you never do.

Yes, it's just more options.. Also, most of the parts are compatible with the Terminators... You're right about the base though.. Hmmmmm... If they sell the ceramic assembly separately, the only other piece needed to turn the Terminator into an Ithaka would be the Ithaka / GGTS base... (I'll probably pick up the Ithaka clone anyway, but it's nice to have a less expensive option to convert at least one of my Terminators with the base / ceramic assembly. )

Edit: Possibly the Ithaka mouthpiece too....

 

[UA72Riddle]

thats a good point....havent thought about just getting the ceramic assembly, which i would assume would be available like it is with the term v1 and v2.


but like you, I would buy the mod as a whole. I have kayfun upgrades on the way for my Terms!

Those clones in the link are made by tobeco FYI.

I should add the link from silicawicks page.
