yay! I just got my ody! I love it! It's a vapor machine! So much vap! But I cracked the ceramic
Couldnt get the ceramic out of the metal piece as it was really tight. I taste one ody with the soapy taste, so i went to torch mine over the stove with it still being in the metal piece.
Note: ceramic looked perfectly fine in the metal piece. After torching 3 times for about 10secs, each time I took it off the flames, I could see vapor and smell the same soapy smell i tasted in my friend's ody (he built it straight from the start with out any cleaning).
Then i realised that the ceramic has cracked in 2 places. One corner at the bottom end at each sides. I still managed to put it all together, being careful that the wires dont touch the internal metal where the ceramic used to cover.
I got a very very slight soapy taste, but is gone after 10vaps. My
eliquid tastes a little different from a 510 or dct 1.5ohm carto. It's a diy red bull menthol. On the Ody, i taste the menthol much stronger and less red bull, previously the menthol was just a hint. Will need to re-calibrate my
eliquid formulas specifically for the Ody to my preferences, I prefer something sweet.
Here's a photo of my first diy coil, 1.7ohm on my multimeter. And another on the broken part on one side (same on the other)
