Sry for my English.
I mean soak it into a hot milk but maybe soak it into hot milk is the correct one :)

Oh perfect, I even have some of that in the fridge :) I should have figured that out. No problem about your english, you would not understand one word of my Greek, likely because I dont know one. Thanks again for taking the time to share your cleaning process.

So how do we get rid of the Pluid. Ive cleaned my Pene twice and still the new juice taste not right. Is there a trick. I almost dont use my Pene anymore because of it. Eventually I will take the time to figure a way but I have so much other stuff I havent bothered. If there is a simple and safe trick Im all in :)

Did you take the rebuildable section completely apart? Take all the o-rings off? If not, do that and put all the parts into a container (I usually take any o-rings and tiny pieces, and wash them carefully out of the sink, to avoid losing anything). Let hot water run into the container for about 3-5 minutes. You can swish the parts around in the water, be careful if your sink gets really hot. When done rinsing, shake off the pieces, and lay on a towel to dry a bit. If you still have any taste after that, maybe it gets stuck in the ceramic? Maybe flame the ceramic? Hot water rinse has always worked for me.

I havent test pluid but I am almost sure than nothing can harm the new Ithaka's window ana
From what I know, Pluid is one of the most acidic/citrus , anise based juice out there. A notorious tank cracker. I dont know if Imeos special plastic manufacturers have tested with that. All I know is that I made a recent batch of my usual light orange 50/50 juice, Ive used it in my Kir fanis tanks before, but this time I made it a bit stronger than usual. I filled one of my Kirs and over night, it cracked and leaked all over.

All I know is that the Pluid is much more acidic

Maybe a Pluid fan can send Imeo a small bottle to sample and test in the Ithaka tank just to be sure.:)

if we put the one wire in the middle of the ceramic and the other one in the middle of the ceramic too then there is no hot spot. Even if they are not exactly in the middle, I still dont see a problem sub.
that's what I thought, but I believe Imeo said in the video they can touch. I know there was a big discussion about it, but I'm still curious as some people were saying it's ok and some were saying no.

Ody was the most easy to build atomizer ana, you are right. Ithaka is even easier because a bolt keeps negative wire in place. You will understand what I mean when you will make your first coil
I guess different people have different skill levels, I had not had too much experience other than Vivi Novas and the steam machine before, and I found that the Odysseus was so easy to put together. It was a dream for me. Great performance and such a quick rebuild compared to all the other atomizers I tried before.

Once a week I get my wires all set up. I cut about enough NR and R wire to the size I need , I then do all my twisting during the evening. I have about 40 wires at all times ready for use. I also have 4 extra rebuildable units always setup so when I have one that is really worn and dirty I just pop in a new one. Dry cleaning is also such a breeze.

I have 2 Odys at use all the time, and I have an extra base so I can have that for when I dry burn. I like being prepared. Most of my juice is NET so I have to clean my wick/coil after a tankful.

Sorry if my message was confusing. They are a problem with Kir Fanis clears. Not sure about GG yet. I vape Pluid in the Stainless tank only. Pluid can crack some clear plastics. It does not crack glass, quartz, pyrex etc... Can't wait for Ithaka !

So, they are no problem with the GG stock clear and the Kir Fanis tanks? That is good to know. Ive been avoiding putting my DIY orange/clove in my Odys. I just dont want to harm them, especially since parts are so hard to replace.

you could try what I do when my parts are really dirty or smelly, I use those denture tablets and give it a good soaking over night and then I rinse it really well with hot water. You could even take the ceramic out and give it a good torching.

Oh nice - do you also soak the O-rings and ceramic this way? I will have to try this!
