I've had a GGTS and an Ithaka since this past summer. I've built coils and gotten great vapes in the past, but over the last few months my vape with the combination of my Ithaka and GGTS has been... unsatisfying.
When I put my Ithaka (single 1.3-ohm, 29awg coil for troubleshooting) on my GGTS with a fresh battery, I get very little vapor and overall poor performance. If I take my Ithaka and put it on my Provari I get plenty of vapor, flavor, throat hit, etc. If I put my HH.357 on my GGTS, it performs beautifully. So, the weak link seems to be the Ithaka/GGTS combination. My batteries meter out fine and appear to be in good working order.
Today, I went through and took everything all the way apart and cleaned it thoroughly, including cleaning/polishing threads of everything with toothpaste, and making sure I really scrubbed the center post on the Ithaka. I even took pipe cleaners to the tiny parts, just to make sure there wasn't any crud. It performed *ok* for approximately three toots before going back to producing very little vapor production and nearly zero throat hit.
Currently, I'm using 20/80, 8mg juice. As I mentioned, placing the atomizer on another device, or another atomizer on the device works fine. I also have a Reo Grand/RM2 running a 1.3 ohm, 29awg coil with the same juice, and it performs as I expect it to.
Any advice on what I'm missing? Thanks in advance.
