FastTech $16.59 Oddy clone

[Sarje]

Stock coil on mine is 2.1, pretty sure it's got no-res legs.
BTW, only 24 hours in and yes you guys you were right. Took the trip home last night and took the axle twister road for about 10 kms of the bumpiest, bounciest road around. Left the oddy on a vamo on its side next to the handbrake in the Discovery. The juice has spilled out everywhere!

Nah, not really. The thing is rock solid. vaping like a dream! Hasn't leaked a drop, no dry hits, no gurgling! Under what circumstances should I expect the gremlins to kick in?

I'll admit that it's a ..... to fill and it doesn't hold much juice, but other than that, it's awesome so far...

I think 4ml on a choddy isn't too bad. I have a bt804. It's only 1ml...it's pretty bad.

4ml? Try 2..

The actual capacity is closer to 2/2.5ml.

Beaten by seconds!

I will say this, after ordering a couple (because i order all kinds of junk to play with)..
They do not come with no resistance wire, but the premade coils you get have it on them.
They are very finicky. After setting my mind to it i got it to quit leaking, but it is a matter of making sure everything is super tight and lined up just right. Also, when you open the top to refill it, it can knock the very sensitive parts slightly loose. And i mean slightly, and it will leak.
So yes, when you get it right, its great. But, very easy to mess up. Just my two cents, hope this helps.

Day 3 - still rock solid! Maybe there have been some QC problems with this Oddy, or this is a newer version. I must emphasise, if you don't swap the o-rings at the top round and lose the silicone washer, I reckon it'd leak.

Can you please elaborate? I got mine a few days ago and it was leaking out the bottom, I was just removing one of the top o-rings. I would appreciate some more detail, I would like to see if this helps me.

If you remove the small top cap, you'll notice a silicone washer. Remove that and put it away (or toss it). Under the large top cap, you'll find 2 O-rings. Remove 1 of those and put it where the silicone washer was. That's all there is to it.

How about some pictures of that, they were suppose to make some revisions, perhaps they did.

Thanks, that clears it up, I will be trying that tonight for sure

That is what is referred to as Engrish

I rike that a rot!! LOL

Let me know how it turns out. I'll try to upload some pics at the weekend when I rewick.

Looks like someone has posted a how to on the orings: Oddy Clone o'ring placement - YouTube

Of the 2 that he removed, I left one there and just moved the other one to the top. May try his way as, if it works, it'll be easier to fill!

OK I've seen enough, the tank top has been revised from the original design, there was no way that 8 x2 mm oring would fit into the early model. The design on the base of the mouthpiece is different than the early one. The positive pin also doesn't stick out 3 miles like the original. I paid more than that for a ViVi Nova tank before so....

I just got mine a few days ago - it's been interesting... first off, it's different. The top cap is all one piece, there is no lock ring on the top cap on the version I got. It's a brushed finish, not polished - which I prefer - and there was most definitely NOT any NR wire included. No issue there for me since I purchased a 50 pack of 1.7ohm ready wires from madvapes. It only leaks when I fill it, which is maddening, I can't figure out what is making it leak ONLY when I fill it. When I fill it, nothing leaks, then I screw the top cap on, and even when the juice control is fully closed, it somehow pushed juice out through the bottom air hole and leaks all over the place/floods, and when it stops leaking, it's only ~ half full. It may be something I'm doing wrong, but I've had a friend who owns the genuine article check it out, rebuild it, and he has no idea.

I didn't realize NR wire was required on this one. It isn't required on KF's. Aren't they the same type of atomizer?

edit: nevermind. Getting the Fogger thread mixed up with the Oddy, lol. Requirement of NR wire is the reason I passed on this one

THIS ... I'm in the same boat... I've even done the alternate grounding method so that the lock ring is perfectly flush against the base (so juice can't leak around the gap that the ground wire creates)

Once it IS filled it's fine, but I HAVE to find a better way to fill this thing. Also, the fact that they didn't put a "flat head" on the screw that holds the ceramic cup in place is maddening... I had to use the tip of my needle nose just to try and hold it while turning the center pin.

Once center pin is in position hold the center pin with needle nose pliers in the area where the bottom o-ring sits and turn the ceramic housing using your fingers, this is the easiest way just don't snap it in two.

If leaking during filling and the negative wire isn't trapped under the locking ring creating a place to leak then the mouthpiece is not closing good against the locking ring. This is assuming of coarse that the mouthpiece is closed during filling as it must be.

My Tobeco Oddy clone came with some silicone o-rings that can be added between the locking ring and the base of the mouthpiece to bridge the gap if there is one.

Thanks, I'm going to try the o-ring between the juice control and the base, if that doesn't work maybe I can get another one under the locking ring... I would think it HAS to be one of those two places, there's nowhere else for it to go!


on the center pin thing, when you turn the center post, there's nothing to stop the nut sitting in the ceramic chamber from spinning, on the other clones they are flat headed so you can stop it from spinning while tightening...

mine is like this, the one FT is selling looks revised.
