Yes. They are quite well made. All I noted "missing" were side-holes for wire, but you can live w/o them.

I'd recommend going with an "extra large SS tank" for nautilus or ithaka - and I prefer the ithaclones for airflow and value: replace the clear section and the small rings with the big SS tank and be done with tube-replacement issues.

And, yes: gotta' love the top-fill plus air AND juice flow-controls ;-)

I'm messing around with mine again after quite a while, I've been using TGT's.
Mine are setup in two Hercules atomizers with 510 connectors, that's a first for me.
The air flow is to tight for lung hits and too loose for by mouth, IMO.
I think they are way too airy. The air can be controlled with the air control ring but that restricts the intake causing the stream to slow, I want a smaller but more forceful stream.

Here's my plan:
The center pin on mine is only screwed into the bottom half of the positive block where one end of the coil attaches.
I have a Taifun service kit and the plastic tube that the draw tube goes into appears to be the correct diameter just too long.
I plan to cut the plastic tube as well as one of the 1.2 mm draw tubes o correct length and install them into the top of the positive block when I get home from work in the morning.

I probably should have waited till I did it to post about it but I'm just too exited about it.
Running at about 25 watts,0.83 ohms, VV Dodge Pipe mod with Kayfun kit in a Hercules.

The modification appears successful, now to see if it will move to the head of the class and displace my TGT's, still early yet but it appears that's about it.
I used a piece of the Taifun's plastic sleeve and 1.5 mm draw tube, about 1/3 of it's length. It's flush with the top of the positive block.
Maybe just a tad airy still, on the next one I'll use a piece of 1.2 mm draw tube, not much restriction on a piece that short.
I forgot to take a picture of it, I"ll get around to it eventually.

Try a dremel cutting-wheel to enlarge the airslot: the RH and Tobeco vary quite slightly, but it's noticable. If there was a hollow threading for the core with a larger ID it too would help, (and there, the Titanium stuff would finally make sense).
On mine I was reducing the air's volume and increasing it's speed upon exiting the air tube, it works fantastic.
I'm not making a lung hitter, just the opposite
TGT's are staying home tonight. K conversion and Mr Silica are going to work.

Here's a look
