Well, the 91% is "ok".. Vastly overpriced. The screws are TINY to get wire under; the airhole screws I left in the bag. I've been using it in plain SS mode for the last week or so, and it's been a comfort to come home to.
The Rocket has been going to work the last few days, (just as I did for it's first week).. I had to vaseline all the orings to solve a stupid leak, and trim the tails waaayy back on the lazy-S wick - just barely touches base now.
Ithaka tastes great, but has continually leaked all over. The other day, I leaked a tank - fixed THAT - and it refused to fire. Sooo.. It got converted tonight into a Vochu-mod/Naughtyfun (naughtythaka). Since then, It's been working like a charm. Simple wick and wire. The screws on the naughtyfun posts are such a vast improvement over the 91% or rocket - much bigger heads and easier to wire around. There is not even a MINOR contest between the juice-controlled ithaka/ody (Naughtyfun) and the fixed-feed 91%. Airflow? I'd say the ithaka still draws a bit tighter than the 91% or Rocket. Flavorwise, the Naughtyfun trumps all because of the juice control.
I think I'll be selling off the 91%, or I'll be PIF'ing the Rocket - I like both for work, and while I might hack on the Rocket, I will NOT do so to the 91%.
I can only hope Vochu and Poland continue making this product available to everyone - and it should be a slap in the face (or wake-up call) to china QC, (as well as others) packaging and design. I hope he starts making tank-sections, too.
Because of it's simplicity and general reliability, I think I'll keep my Terminator-C pretty simple - I WOULD like to get ithaka-sections instead of paying far, far too much for replacement term-c sections. But, the more hefty ceramics in the term-c and the shorter NR runs continue to make me consider the term-c a nice testbed for oddball wires, coils, etc.
