Good video, I know i commented on the video itself yesterday. I've been using the Nuppin more, but Odin still gets put into the daily rotation.

Bigflyrodder, yours leaks? How? I've laid mine on the side for 15 minutes without thinking of it and I still didn't get it to leak. It just built up inside around the airhole, but nothing was on my bed where it was laying. Maybe I was lucky with my situation.

Great video Geo... I don't own any of the 5 I had anymore because I was tired of constantly having to clean up the leaking mess it left... I think most of the leaking was due to the negative posts being machined into the atty and condensation collected on it and moved its way around to the AFC holes... If it wasn't held vertical at all times, it was leaking... Glad to see finally I am not the only one with this problem. I have noticed in a lot of Russ's video's, him having to wipe the outside of his atty's alot. I think the atty vaped ok, but I just couldn't put up with the leaking...

I build my coils in my Odins vertically and have no leakage from the AFC's now. I do get condensation that builds under the cap and runs but that can't be helped.

Great video Geo, that's how I do my coils as well except I use the mandrels to turn them vertically as I pull them outward. The RxW wicking touches the bottom of the drip well and acts like a magnet to trap the juice. I get several good drags with all that juice trapped there before having to squonk again.

No my brother, I very rarely get any juice outta my Odins. Extremely rare and it's user error when I do. Not vaping what I squonk then tilting it is the only way I get juice out.

I think that and and if the coils and wick are not positioned / routed properly some folks might experience issues. I'm happy to not be one of them.

As evidenced by that photo, the Odin is my go to atty. I have no other mods at the moment. I like the vape better than any other and like not squonking every couple a pulls.

I use nuppins too but if I were stranded on a desert island I wanna have an Odin on my REO :)

I wipe stuff cause I'm a freak not cause my attys leak :)

That said, I think the less polished finish of the Odin shows less - what shall I call it - exhaust condensation at the airholes in the top cap that the nuppins. After a day's vaping, the Nuppin is in serious need of airhole wipe down. My Odin - not :)

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. Maybe Ill do another video one day. All of the other videos on my channel were made specifically for my dad. He is 72 and I am working on teaching him stuff... He lives in TX and I live in AZ

I have had some leaking from my Odins also, but didn't understand why. When I perfected my wicking technique and stopped over squonking it... the leaking all but stopped.

thanks for the kudos... maybe Ill do another video some day. the right camera and a tripod make a world of difference!

Thanks
Geo
