So my ceramic is broken but I've been using it anyways... But I just made a new coil for it and it's just not working like it's supposed to. I have tons of other atomizers, cartos, and dc tanks, but without my Ody, I feel like I don't have anything worth vaping on besides for my UFS. This has to be the epitome of first world problems...the good news is that I'm getting a few more in from Bruce on tuesday or wednesday!
Anyone else vaping on a Ody with a broken ceramic?

Mine is cracked and chipped, still vaping perfect.

If I tip mine upside down with no wire and wick in, half the ceramic falls out and it has chunks missing both sides at the top where the wick slots into to run down the side.

Good job I'm getting some today or tomorrow, mine is ready to turn to dust. :lol:

Mine has cracks on both inside sides and I just don't take it out, and it's fine. I rinse it all together when cleaning. This is my only ceramic and still waiting for UK site to get spare for just in case
edit: lol just saw that I missed preorder on ceramics


Jeez, that sucks big time. Over here we were allowed only two, which made it nicer for everyone to get some.


Hey Z, all Imeo's suppliers were suppose to send out replacement ceramics to those that had broken ones. E-mail your supplier right away to send you one.

I had a the bottom quarter of one side drop off when I disassembled for cleaning. I've been using it since and it's fine. I'm not sure if it has made a difference in leakage or not. When putting the coil on, I always put the wire that wraps around the pin along the side that is whole. Again - not sure if it makes a difference. I'm not sure if it was cracked when it came, though I assume it was, given that I didn't exactly manhandle it when I removed it. I really did NOT want to disassemble the ceramic to clean it, but did anyway. So I ordered two with the expansion kit. Cannot wait for those to get here!

My supplier tells me that I have to pay some money for a replacement ceramic?

Some shipping fee or some like that

That is normally the case with warrenty issues however since the ceramic problems were known Imeo has stated he would be sending them out free of charge. It might not hurt to ask him to check on that statement with Imeo in case he doesn't read here as much. Now he may charge a small shipping fee from him to you I would imagine each reseller will deal with that in their own way.
