Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

[MrWarspite]

I got my 2nd terminator from stormy yesterday. 1st one leaked like crazy, this is my 2nd build of the new one. The first build I only opened the top cap a tiny bit, less than half a turn, and it dumped juice. This 2nd build, i got two drops after the fill up but i put it on its side and that stopped. I have the mouth piece completely closed and its feeding fine(70vg/30pg) and so far it hasn't leaked. I'll report back on how it goes but if your having leaking problems, resist the urge to open the top cap. It might not be necessary to open it at all.

I don't trust this thing at all but for now its working and the flavor is fabulous.

I'm surprised to hear all of the leaking issues. I set mine up the original way, with the wire trapped between the ring and the base....never have flooding or leaking, never have any issues with crooked mouthpiece either. I have owned an iatty, oddy, and Penelope in the past, so I guess I am kind of used to it....but I am getting great performance out of both units that I have, though my first v2 is still suffering from a tight draw, unlike my v1 which is airy.

These are all I use...for the money, they are hard to beat..

I'm having no leaking issues as well. When I first got my V1 I did have leaking issues that I attributed to user error! I recently ordered the V2 upgrade and find it a little easier to build but performance is similar to the V1. I recently built the highlander dual coil version and I'm loving the vape from the Terminator, so much so that I order a second one to use in short mode when I'm out and about....

I've found doubled up 1.5mm wick and making sure my coil is not too tight (snug but not constricting) on the wick, it feeds great and I can't make it leak. Been using this in a v2 assembly in a v1 Term C. Will try with the v1 assembly on my next go round.

What size ekowool should one use for a v2 terminator? I understand that ekowool is measured by inner diameter; so, I'm a bit puzzled.

1.5 and 2 mm Ecowool for v2's

Is that doubling up 1.5 in the channels or just the coil?

 

[UA72Riddle]

I use single strand 3mm in the channels, and a double strand inside the cup. Because of the size, I'm using 30g kanthal to keep my ohms below 1.5.

I haven't tried the highlander wrap yet.....but doesn't the dual coil run the battery down much faster then a low ohm single coil? Or is the load just as tough on a battery?

A single coil @ 1 ohms or four coils @ 1 ohms would be the same to the battery, just use Ohm's law calculator, more watts less battery life, less watts would have longer service between charges.

I'm running a single piece of 3.5mm silica right now at .7ohm and it's vaping like a champ and leak free.

Both

It seems to be working well for me so I haven't bother trying anything different

I am as well. Mine is a v1 term-C. I trap the negative wire in the ring and the mouthpiece screws on tight. I get a dry hit after several drags and open the juice control a full turn or so and it vapes perfectly from then on. I can basically open the mouthpiece all the way after that and it just keeps feeding with no gurgling and no dry hits. I've never had a more consistent vape. It and a penelope clone are all I use now.

I have some 1.5 and when I got the V2 I just did what I normally did and doubled it at the coil but not down the channels. Well it leaked, of course. So I just laid another 1.5 on top of the coil and ran it down the channels to fill in the gaps...best vape with the Terminator yet.

Hi all does the short drip tip from oddy will fit on terminator c or long nautilus in purpose to make him short version ?

If you mean "short mouthpiece" instead of "short drip tip" then the answer is yes, see this post, it's the first one, short mouthpiece with one tank. It started life as a Terminator-C, the mouthpiece is from a standard Terminator which is interchangable with Oddy

Penelope clone? Where? I wanna get 1!

Stormys Vapor Cellar is suppose to be getting them in.

Turn your Terminator C into a Kayfun. Check it out.

Stormy's early june, vapor freak now and some other place that ships from china.

Just wait for stormy's at this point

Since we're talking about Euforia, I've read previously that it's the same as Penelope except for the mouthpiece (interchangability) so after a little reseach it appears that the mouthpiece from one doesn't screw on to the other because the ceramic housing is larger on the Euforia. I believe that it's the same assembly as a v2 Term. So that would make the base different also. So the way I see it the only thing that will interchange between Euforia and Penelope is the tank and the tank top. Of coarse this perhaps is an inprovement on the original Penelope.
Do I have this right?

So what parts do and do not interchange between Euforia and Penelope?

After checking Vapor Freak for replacement ceramic housing replacement I think that the assembly is not the same as a v2 Terminator.

Stormy's will have these any day now as they have already shipped
