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

About $100 for the one on the left or $350 for the one on the right, but which is the better vape?

Things don't always add up. ( I should have used macro, the worst picture in a while)
Of coarse it depends on just how they are setup but the setup while different is similar, .8 vs .6 ohms, other than that they are about the same.

The one on the left is the winner

Hi folks. I've read through the first 105 pages of this MAHOOSIVE thread. Been working on this thing for a few days and can't figure it out. I'm not new to rba's, but I'm completely lost as I cannot for the life of me get any airflow through this atty. I have a question about the center post. Is it open all the way through or closed off at the top? On page 105 there was a video that showed a center post with a hole:



My center post looks like this:




Is this correct? If so, can someone tell me where the airflow comes from. Is it through the wick channels because that didn't even help me as I shaved off some threads.

You definitely have a bad center post. It should be open all the way through the middle.

I would contact who you bought it from and explain the situation. They should be able to send you just the replacement center post. If not, stormy has spare parts. Should be really cheap too.

Got the Euforia in today...the one from Vapor Freak. This thing is well built and very nice looking. I'll be looking for a good 14500 mod to use it with.

Thanks.. Finally figured it out. Took me days. lol

Thanks to EricHill78 back on page 105 of this thread I would'nt have compared that part to mine.

This was purchased at SVC and she's sending a new one in the morning. That's the problem with these china clones, It's one of the better builds but quality control is still not existent.

Anyway I'm getting my drill out and am gonna try to bore through it myself. Can't wait til next week. lol

Here are some pics of the Euforia and some comparison shots with the Terminator:

On using the Term-C in short mode with the long mouthpiece: mine doesn't work for the reason dwcraig noted: the o-ring goes onto the recessed section of the mouthpiece and locks there, preventing removal of the top cap. So I should say it works until you need to fill it. Removal of the cap is then very difficult, the mouthpiece ends up spinning flooding the ceramic. Not practical. I thought about sanding a bevel into the top 'ridge' to make the o-ring slide out of the recess, but the mouthpiece is too long anyway and the single tank doesn't hold much juice.

It sure is nicely made. If you want a 14500 mod to match the outer diameter, make sure it's 17mm. My Temon 14500 is 16mm, so it looks a bit top-heavy.

My only issue with the Terminator, as compared to my cartotanks fitted with either a IKV carto or a Diver, is the that Terminator floods very quickly on hot days, if the juice feed is left open for more than 30 seconds. All of the SS parts act as a huge heat conductor, which thinned out my 50/50 juice.

It was 106 at the peak, today. One twist open and then close shut shortly afterwards. Otherwise it would flood in short time.

Very odd how some people experience such different results

I have to turn my juice control Open three full turns or else ill get red coils and a dry hit . I leave it on its side overnight sometimes and I get a gurgle for the first vape or two then its working fine after that .

I'm using V1 with wire grounded at the ring / and tightened a little more with pliers - and I'm good to go

While indoors, I normally have the juice feed opened between 2 to 4 twists. This time of year, I have the AC running on both floors of the house @ 81℉.

Today's outdoor excursion was an exception, as my daughter invited me out to lunch. We went shopping afterwards at an outdoor mall.

Currently, the outside air temp is some 97℉.

I just checked at Stormy's, and Im not seeing the Euphoria on the site anymore. I just emailed her to find out if she has stopped offering it all together, or what the deal is.

Whats the tank capacity of the euphoria?

That site is no good...hard to find anything...but the Euforia is still there. Euforia Tank

 

[UA72Riddle]

ahhh ok....thanks for that. Didnt think to look in the Term section for it.

I didn't think to look there for silica either...took me 15 mins to find it...haha.

 

[b0redagain]

I decided not to keep the Euforia...getting a good 14500 mod is months away for me now. The Euforia looks so great though...off to the classies with it.

 

[UA72Riddle]

See, my thing is this...

If the euphoria is the same length...but cost more and holds less juice...why even buy it?? I would rather have another MKB and full term for better performance and run time. I have an extra gg base waiting for the money to build up again to buy another MKB...hard to beat this set up really.

So I've read some but not near 1/4 this thread.
I'm wondering how the oddity from dv fares for a cheap starter. I think it's the clone of a clone. It's 25.00 right now. I do want a 22mm+ device and I like the bottom coils. This one is 23. Anyone successfully using this one. Is it worth it To try out this style rba? Also will this flush mount?

 

[UA72Riddle]

From the reviews I have seen so far, I would say no.

The nautilus is about $20 cheaper than the term-c, about double the oddity. I have 3 term-Cs now, and don't regret a single one. I have never owned a nautilus, so I can't say anything about quality, but I have been happy with what I have.

I have the oddity and the Terminator-C. The choddy has terrible machining. While I have gotten mine to work, the quality is a far cry from the Terminator and you will be at the mercy of the luck of the draw. At just over twice the price, the terminator is a much, much better device. With the learning curve with oddy clones, adding in the potential QC issues with the choddy is not worth it IMHO.
