All info about getting on the list is in this thread might also be worth considering the kayfun lite.

Got mine this afternoon..Looks a nice piece of kit..Nicely machined..Will try it out later..

Found a couple of small/minute slivers of swarf, so clean yours thoroughly before use..

Thanks Macca, I can't decide btw this kit and Kayfun Lite. Haven't had a vapemail for more than a month, so the finger is twitchy.

I'd appreciate if you'd share your experience with us, ta

It's certainly well thought out kit.. Lot of bits, some very very small, so not for someone who does not like small parts.



All of it, except the brass center post, are highly magnetic suggesting a free machining stainless steel rather than 304 or 316.

The screws for the coil connections are run of the mill, almost look like zinc passivated steel screws. Not very impressed.

The chimneys could have been a bit chunkier to match the OD of the original terminator/nautilus rather than having to use the thicker o-ring to make the seal. You can make it bigger by using the bit that looks like a cartomiser tube but then juice control would not be easy. Should be very easy to fill by just opening the top nut.

Comes with a kit of full spares including insulators, O rings and screws.There is a brass screw in the spares in addition. Have no idea where that goes. Need to try it out but looks an impressive piece of kit. If buying new, I would buy a Kayfun lite.

This looks to be an excellent piece of kit for just 37 quid - its flexibility is a massive selling point to me.
Having said that Kayfun Lite for just 67 pounds sterling(plus postage) is hard to beat too.I've been pleasantly surprised when I returned from abroad and I found this latest release from Svoemesto, I won't miss the filling valve as it does not work properly on my Mini, I won't miss the airflow regulation as it's always been fully open on my one.
So I'm still of two minds, I might end up buying both , despite not owning any Terminator/Oddy at the moment...

I believe that brass screw is for the Ithaka mate- Really looking forward to these when they get here. I love the kayfun vape

For the avoidance of doubt the red outlined bits are what you get along with a bag of spares:

Ahh, I see..

There is a rainbow heaven Ithaka clone who are the same people who made the Terminator/Nautilus..Got my eye on one, when the time comes but run out of devices. Must get another telescopic VW device. I am happy with 1.8 -2 ohm coils @10w, so I 'll stick with VW mods.

Nice pics thanks Macca. Has that been confirmed that Rainbow Heaven made the Terminator / Nautilus?

I've just ordered the Ithaka clone from Fasttrack. At £24 including shipping, it is worth a punt just to see what it's like.

That Ithaka clone from Fasttech is Tobeco..

The Rainbow Ithaka clone is the Hercules from Vaporfreak and is also available at Stormy..As far as I know Rainbow also made the Nautilus/Terminator.

Edited to add: Pretty sure now..
