Figures considering euphoria pricing and increase in popularity. Plus there's only one other place to go (direct) and it's still considerably more expensive. They keep up with the price increases though and the average joe they were attracting will look elsewhere and vendors will be less likely to keep up stock due to increase in cost. Then they will kill one major selling point, readily abailable.

Good News! I received my nautilus and the GGTS Base, and it all goes together on the MKB-TS perfectly! A big thanks to all who help me. I can't do a build on it tonight because OKC Vapes forgot to include the kanthal and NR wire I ordered, but I'll check the B&M's around town for NR wire tomorrow. The nautilus appears very clean, no machine oil smell, it looks clean. It looks So Cool sitting on top of my MKB!! Thanks again guys!

Since you have a little time before you build it I suggest a good bath anyway. Just don't wash 'em where they will go down the drain.

As embarrassed as I am to say I received my GGTS (6202) today and can add to the verification as to what fits. Everything stated in previous posts are correct but there is some small problem with the cap with the axis and battery spring, the GG one fits kind of sloppy (a little loose thread wise) on the MKB. The MKB bottom cap is just a fuzz to tight to screw into the GGTS. Also I didn't realize the axis on the GGTS was so skinny, that explains why my GM switch stick out so far. I made sure that it (the GG) hit as good as my MKB's and put it away till I can figure why I have it.

I really have enjoyed the arrival of the GG Stealth today... Guess it proves that the MKB might just get a person hooked on the whole GG ideology and start buying genuine even after being corrupted by a copy. My identity crisis: is my MKB merely aftermarket parts for my GG, or is it the other way around? In any case, both units are cross-pollinating quite bountifully... more options once again.

The brass GG tele-tube I got from COV doesn't like my MKB extension tube tho. However the rethreader does. Go figure. Have a brass GG extension on the way. The surprise setup: 18650 mode, GG bottom tube, retrhreader ring, MKB extention tube, MKB collection tank... No telescope! - pretty cool all flush look.

Another vapemail this week was my first Ti atty: Chel's MiniGen. Totally cool little genesis that weighs a little more than a piece of paper. The slim design allows another one of those recessed-in-the-collector-tank looks on the MKB; but on the MKB stealth cap, the MiniGen didn't want to screw all the way into the 510. Titanium is looking killer on brushed stainless of the MKB tho. Need more!

So the Polish modder Vochu is about to take payments for batch 2 of oddyfun? Very exciting.

Paid for The Spotty V1 wirewelder today. also exciting.

Got some SS Sotong rings for the Oddy/Term setups. These rings can add to a Terminator standard steel tank to work with "medium" and "large" rampage MP's - the only way I know to have an all steel atty in said modes. Also trying to get Sotong to produce more Oddy Shields. This offering will be in brass!

Those are my MKB updates... mine more obtanium!

Kayfun up grade sounds cool, and also a few steps ahead of me! So I washed the pieces of the Naut in mild soapy water, followed by thorough, border OCD rinse, but I did nothing to clean the piece with the ceramic cup in it. Is there something special to cleaning it? Once again, I searched and searched internet/forum, no luck.

The ceramic it's self can be torched with a chef's torch, or run into the flame from a gas stove burner. Place it on a wire coat hanger, (or similar item) and burn it...

I was wondering if using pure nickel NR wire is safe. It seems to be unclear from the posts I've found in ECF. Soem see to have no problem with it, others say it may be unsafe. any feedback?

It's what I use with no issues as of yet. Not quite as easy to twist as silver but also not nearly as delicate. Plus MUCH cheaper.

Thanks c00lkatz, I went for it. haven't got the Naut going yet. Taking my time, no need to rush. The threads are tight and fine on some pieces. The machining is really good; it's a nice atty. I'm so glad I got the GGTS base. It'll be my first time using something other than a 510 connection.

Hey upsetter, didn't you say the stealth rethreader ring works on the MKB? I really hope it does, cause the 350 mode with stealth cap is awesome! Will be perfect for my plane rides with more battery life than the 14500 mod I usually carry.
Just tried it and it does NOT work.
