If that picture is what you get . . . then no it's not Toon. That's the one that Ivapour are selling as the Nauti . . . whilst it's fine, it's not in the same build quality league as Stormy's or Vapor Freak's.

Is the Nauti a good performer Perpy?I was going to buy one from I-vapour a while ago but then i remember the leaking issues i had with the oddy and that stopped me getting it.I have a feeling i was trapping the wire wrong which may have caused the leaking :-/Me and rebuildable tanks don't really get on,drippers are great but with tanks i just get wicking issues all the time.

The Nautilus is a great performer as is the Terminator from Stormy`s in the USA. Vapor-Freak are bringing out a Ver.2 soon which will have the metal channel down the side for the negative wire which will overcome the problems with having to trap the wire. The negative wire just lays under the wick in the ceramic holder.

It's ok Ian . . . I'm using mine right now, Ivapour also have the clear tanks in stock for it. However, build quality wise it doesn't compare to Stormy's or Vapor Freaks.

I've used Ody's since they very first came out. I've also got a Terminator C from Stormy's. After much fiddling around I've found the leaking is due to insufficient wick in the channels, using the 3mm wick I don't get any leaks at all. I still trap the wire under the ring without any problems what so ever. I have found that sometimes it makes it hard to wick with such a thick wick in which case I use a thinner wick loose over the top.

Great stuff Perpy and Dee,i think i will wait for the V2 to be on the safe side,lol.I don't trust trapping the wire under the ring as i have very bad memories of that.

Thanks folks. I think if I don't pick up one soon I might preorder the V2 from vapour freak. Not in until the end of April though, so I'll keep checking the classies. It's great to have all of your know how. I would have just bought the Ivapour one assuming it was the same. Thanks again Chris.
