I just got my second Terminator and noticed it has a different center pin. The air hole path is smaller and makes for a very slightly tighter draw. You would never even notice the difference if you didn't know it was there, but it seems to have changed air/vapor mixture some. There is more TH now with about the same vapor and taste. Once this coil is spent I'm going to make a new one and use the same juice in both to dod a side by side. Once I get hole I can take some pics.


Just redid mine this morning, switched from a single coil / dual wick to a dual coil / dual wick X config, with a small piece of silica sitting under the top coil. So far it seems to be doing pretty well.

Funny you should post this cause I thought the draw was alot tighter than my ody was, I ended up drilling it out with a 1/16th drill bit and it is way better now.

Funny, just got mine not too long ago, but think I have the wider one. Draw is definitely airier than the Oddy.

The older one I ordered about 2 months ago, the newer was about 3 weeks ago. APO shipping is slow :(

Are these both the same version (v1 or V2)?

Both are V2's

V2 I think, better.. it can ground right at the channel. Its only nessasary to use one no res leg to reach the positive.

On a side note .. My oddity has the 510 threads on my kamry just about all the way stripped out in less than a month.. The kamry 510 is plated brass. Not sure if this is common mating a ss to a brass 510, probably, or the threads weren't great on the tobecco... Probably both.. For sure

Most pics I see of term-c have both ceramic channels. The one I have has one side ceramic the other side SS. Part of the ceramic holder. Different version? Good? Bad?

V2 like Jermy said, plus it has bigger wick channels so you can use 3mm wicks.

SS will win over brass every time. You must be careful to not over tighten when using SS and brass because what ever the brass part is, it will strip out. This happens at work all the time. I'm not too familar with the K100 but does it have an adjustable center pin? If it does loosen the pin, then screw the tank on, then tighten the center pin.

I see, I have the Term. I knew the tobecco's were not as nice, but didn't know that they have bad threading. That sucks, I think if it was me I would get a Term also. You might not have problems with a SS mod with it, but at the sametime if the treads are bad enough, one of them might get messed up over time.

Over tightening an atomizer into a 510 is always going to end up trouble. Anytime you have an atomizer with SS 510 screwing into a brass 510 it's just a matter of time before the brass threads get eaten away especially with a heavy atomizer.

This is a bit of an odd question, but I am getting a total lack of throat hit on Boba's Bounty (18 mg). I was thinking it was my build, so I kept trying different builds.

I finally tried a different juice (Grey Matter from Mister-E, 18mg, 50/50) and the TH is more than adequate. Switch back to BB and no TH. Term V2 and Herc.

Tried a couple of different 18mg 50/50 juices and TH is fine.

Flavor and vapor are fine with BB, just absolutely no TH.

Is there something I can try on a build (have tried micro coils, 29 awg, 32 awg, 36 awg), resistance from .8 ohms to 1.2 ohms.

Is the increase in VG to blame? Should I increase the Nic level of BB? I can't go back to fighting cartos after tasting BB in a Term/Herc, I have to get this working...

Heavy VG juices have far less TH yes. I vape 80-100% VG generally at 15mg. I tried some juice in a friends PV that was 80% PG and was actually quite surprised at the TH. I personally don't like a lot of throat hit because I generally go through about 6-10ml a day.

:ohmy: How in the world? You need the Legal Vape 4000, LOL.
