Do you mean to say that you put the Herc top on the Term?
There was one member that had a hairline crack running the length of the mouth piece, did you change the mouthpiece as well?

Exactly, herc top on term. Thought that maybe the herc top parts would seal it better.

As for the mouthpieces. I've switched them up too. I have the herc mouthpiece, term c stock mouthpiece and also the short one. I seen that awhile back too with someone having a crack, none of mine have any problems.

Does it leak if just sitting there?

Here's one that I have set up right now in short mode. New o rings. I can only open it this much without it giving me any problems. I can keep it open like this allllllllll day long with no leaks. Open it slightly more and even if it's just sitting there, it'll start to leak

That's about all I ever leave mine open. A 1/4 to 1/2 turn of the mouthpiece. I use Peaches n Cream cotton yarn, two wicks down the ceramic channel and one wick down the other.

What up bro. Yeah man, like I said, I don't have a problem keeping it like this but just knowing that something's not sealing correctly and working as it should bugs me.

This Term that always seeped from between the top of the Rampage clear tank and the top tank is no longer seeping, I replaced the 16 x 1.5 mm o-ring with a 5/8 x 3/4 x 1/16 (AO16) it's just a tad fatter, had them all along just never fussed much with it.

Ordered a little goodie bag of o-rings to try and keep the Herc happy:


Products
5 x 2mm X 3mm Metric Buna-N 70 O-ring (N2.00X003) $0.50
5 x 1mm X 17mm Metric Buna-N 70 O-ring (N1.00X017) $1.50
5 x 2.5mm X 9mm Metric Buna-N 70 O-ring (N2.50X009) $1.25
3 x 2mm X 2mm Metric Buna-N 70 O ring (N2.00X002) $2.55 (weird that these are so much more than 2x3)

Hey guys this Vcore setup took this oddity to the next level and beyond. Check it out if your interested I started a thread on it... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...icro-coil-oddy-kayfun-russian-ithaca-ect.html

Orings-
In parts like this; the price difference is in supply and demand. Odd ball size cost them more to retool for a small batch. They have to recoup costs.

I noticed my juice will sometimes turn dark, from a light yellow to a dark tan or even light brown if i leave it long enough. The juice starts to taste a little dirtier too. Anyone know the cause of this? Is it the build or just what some juices do. My setup is an HR Hercules, 1.7 kanthal ready wires, wrapped around german silica, ekowool, or cotton.

The format is backards to the way I see them listed but isn't it 3 x 2 mm whats needed to secure the positive wire on Ithaka and clones?
Oddy /Terminator is 2 x 2 i Ibelieve but either way I expect that the 2 x 2 mm will work just fine on the Herc.

Yeah, I noticed this site lists them the opposite way that they do on the GG Wiki. The 2 x 3 shown above is 3mm ID. I got both just to play around, I would expect 2 x 2 to work in that spot as well.

That usually happens when some juice get's heated, but not actually vaporized, and returns to the tank. My Wife's T2's do this a LOT, and every few days I have to completely wash them out, as the color get's DARK.

You need need o-rings, I need new glasses....LOL
I missed it...
Wrong post, man I better get them new glasses

Received my Terminator-C today before work only had time to wrap the coil and attach the NR legs before I had to leave. Got home mounted the coil, tested it out, got lo code on Provari, so wrapped 2 more loops and came out to 1.5 ohms. I did a micro coil on a 1/16" drill bit using 28awg Kanthal, 28 gauge Nickel for the NR legs and cotton for the wick. Vapping pretty good, no leaks and cooking it at 15.36 watts on the Provari. tighter draw than on the Russian, think I may have gotten the wick a little to tight through the coil, and maybe do a smaller diameter wrap next time. The flavor is petty intense nic hit pretty strong. Used some whiskey vape that I hadn't used for a bit, and forgot is was 18mg, I've been using 12mg since I started doing rba's with micro and nano dragon builds.

I ran the ground leg wire between the base and the metal O-ring nut that screws down on the outside of the ceramic housing as demonstrated in the pbusardo review. This leaves a small gap between the base and the O-ring nut, so with the juice control screwed down I still get some wicking, but not enough to cause flooding. Just have to open the juice control a couple of full turns to get optimum wicking.

Liking pretty much every thing about the Term-C, good quality build, quality as nice as the Russian's. Only thing I'm not thrilled about is the plastic tank section, so went and ordered the SS tank section from SVC. So then I'll be able to vape my cinnamon blends with out fear. The Term-C is about 1/2" shorter than the Russian, a hair wider, and lighter but holds 1ml more of juice. Now I just need to tune my build so that it performs as well as the Russian does. lmao, First builds are always the worst, so have high hopes that this can be attained. Will probably try a vertical mount coil build later on, since it performs so well on the Russian, but first want to fine tune the micro build to it's best configuration, so that I can honestly appraise which is better for this rba.

Thanks for all the tips and builds that have been done on this thread, haven't read every page, but have gleaned some great information.

Hey dice I have perfected my Vcore coil and its incredible. The flavor and nic hit are off the charts. I have a modification that too it to the next level. Truest flavor I have ever experienced. Will be starting a thread on it hopefully tonight. Is Vcore a cool enough name.

Kewl deal Jeremy, Vcore sounds fine. I was leaning towards the lbff build. Little bunny Foo Foo. lmao, but will settle V.Core. Will be interested to see your build, since I now have a Term-C. Have the Vulcan warp drive core pretty much perfected on the Russian, last build was 1.1 ohms, can chain vape 4 ml tank in like an hour without any issues, except a heavy nic rush, and getting thirsty. Took a bunch of pictures of the wrap and the mounting and cotton used, so can add to the data base once you start the thread.

Did a micro build on the Term-C, since it was my first attempt at a resistant/non-resistant build, working pretty well, but the Russian out performs it with it's Romulan Warp core. Runs cooler too. Think I need to align the dielithium crystals for better V-resonance. I'm still on the first tank of fuel, and it seems to be doing better now that the coil is breaking in. For having to break it down and adding 2 exra loops so that I could get the Provari to fire, it's vapping quite good. It's good enough to vape and be satisfied, but I know I can get more out of it once I become more skilled in this style of rba.

I've never used the Russian/Kayfun and can't wait to see what you have to say about the two after a couple weeks. I will say the Term works great even with a bad build. When you get it right, you will know. You'll take a toot, and then wait a sec, then do one of those looks at it and think damn that was good. Then you'll sit there chain vaping for the next hour or so until you get nic sick, lol.

 

[JeremyR]

Well Vcore is lame but I can not edit the title though. Should have left it plain. Found out there is an atty called Vcore. Well call it what ever something may stick. The cotton core really took it over the top for me.

The thread is up come visit and see my build. Link is a few post back. Add pics.

The Russian is a great vape, it has more air flow than the Term-C, and an air adjust screw, which I have wide open. Thinking of getting a Hippo to go with the Provari and the Term. It has an air adjust valve and 510 connector, so that if you do flood, it never touches the battery terminal on the Provari. That's one thing I love about the Kayfun style, air hole is on the side of the base, not through the stem. My build on the term is actually quite good, my wire connections are strong and tight, no leaks or flooding issues, battery connector is straight, just need to experiment with the coil and wick design till I dial in the dynamics of this rba. I went through 5 different build styles on the Russian before I settled on the V.core build, and then had to try 3 differen gauges of wire before I settled on 28awg as my wire of choice, then a couple coils to find the ideal diameter for the Vertical mount, then a couple tries till I got my cotton densities and lengths down perfect. So I'll vape on this build for a day before I do build 2.

When I get the Term-C to vape as well as the Russian, I'll be one happy Vaper fer sure.

Kewl deal, will look at it after work, but need to catch some ZZZZ's now.

Looking for new mod whitfh do you think is better for oddy clone. Chiyou or nemisis.?

The ultimate choice is GGTS or clone and atty mounted with GGTS base
But of the two i like the Chi
