I was watching Todds review and on the 2nd try they broke, it made them appear to seem a bit delicate. Did you do anything special while putting the button back together? Besides put it in as quick as possible



Not really. They survived my rough treatment atleast. Wasn't really a matter of being quick either. Just putting them in their respective slots and holding the button together while screwing the screw back in.

But as mentioned a few pages back, the magnets are way to strong for me to be able to comfortably use the bagua. I'm hoping a spring will improve that though.

Nope.. just hang onto them and do it quick.. grin.. I've got spring in one.. magnets in the other... might shift to all springs, just because you can control the tension of the button by varying the spring you put in... All I know is right now, these suckers are my favorite form factor... (which I believe, based on heresay, will be slapped down when the Lux+kayfun wonder twins power is activated.

It really is gorgeous. Looks great with the arrow which also is a terrific genny. I'm trying to hunt down a Penelope for it as well. Even if I wouldn't be able to use it I wouldn't get rid of it. It's simply too cute :p

haha agreed. Love the look of the Penelope with it. Regarding your post above that, I just ordered 8 magnets & 2 soft button spring sets.. I figure I should definitely be able to not have to worry about them breaking now.. I also ordered a ss sleeve for my arrow!

on the hunt for the Penelope too... right now.. I have a euforia tank / arrow tank combo going on my baguas... frankly.. the euforia tank gets more of a work out...

Any idea if they will be produced again? Don't remember where but I vaguely remember reading that they might not. I'm keeping the Euforia as a back up plan if I don't get my hands on a Penelope. Seems to be getting good reviews despite being a clone.

I saw someone post about the compatibility of Ithaka part on Odysseus, here are some picts of the parts I got in from COV this weekend. Im loving the Odys with their new suits.

BTW, just in case anyone was thinking about the Precise ELA, it sold out today. No more for a long while, and many of the extras it came with are now going to be add ons and price will go up.

Same. Ordered some extra magnets. Thought I'd try some of the other methods and experiments to see if I can demagnetize them abit. Like heating them with my butane torch. I guess you shouldn't smack these magnets with a hammer tho :p
Wouldn't surprise me if Yellowkiss will offer some less strong magnets at some point..

Yeah I saw yesterday they were down to about 7. Orderd one earlier tho. Been a while since I preordered anything with a long wait. I'll probably forget all about it til it's finally ready hehe..

Imeo posted that all of his items will have one more run within the next year. SO if you have some time to wait you will be able to get a new Penelope or Odysseus in the near future.

I've got nothing but time.. girin.. though I know the Ithaka will be the next purchase... The engineering behind that is pretty damn amazing, and I'm now comfortable with the res/nores thing (frankly.. it gives you a ton more control over resistance). just need to restock the coffers after this weekends buy splurge...

Yep, I don't think Panny's are getting another run anytime soon, sigh :(
