This is the original Ody. It looks like the mouthpiece got cross threaded. I had been using the same coil for quite a while so I am not sure how it happened. I have to get this fixed. I am desperate. 
Not sure how much it will help if the threads are off, but you could try putting it in the freezer for a while and try again when it's ice cold.. That's helped me in the past with stuck metal parts!
I hope so too! Good luck. Im sure if that doesn't work someone here will have a solution for you! Just don't go prying it off just yet we will figure something out!
I did get some pretty stuck metal apart with the freezer method, though! Just make sure the metal is nice and frozen! I tried using pliers with rubber to protect the metal and it didn't work but the freezer did, so have faith!

I tried it again but I am going to leave it in the freezer over night. If it won't come apart then I will be on the floor crying.
I went in and got out my UFS and now I can't get the top on my GGST off to put on the UFS. It is in the freezer too now. It has been very humid here. I do put vaseline on my threads. I don't understand what is going on now. Could it be due to the humid weather? Actually my UFS has been sitting a long time.
Hey Stormy, please don't panic I have some spare Ody v1 ceramics that I can send you. Once it's well frozen put a flat head screwdriver in the Ody ceramic housing, grab the bottom pin knurling with pliers and undo it slowly. Maybe it would be a good idea if you could spray it with some penetrating oil like WD40 too.
PM me your address and I'll send you the new spare ceramic dear

Stormy I'm on a flight now and I'll be home Friday morning, I may even have a spare Ody v1 pin not sure. If I do it's yours my dear
Hi my dear Stormy
The pieces that are stuck is the ceramic housing and the mouthpiece? I know that you cross threaded them so the only solution I can suggest is to go to a local machine shop to my opinion. The other solution is to try to unscrew the pieces wearing gloves and give it to a person that has enough power on his hands to unscrew it
The last solution is to send it back to me. I really dont know how else I can help you on this

I think from what she said Thano that she got the mouthpiece off but broke the ceramic in the process and cannot unscrew the pin from the housing
Ah, thanks Steve. Then things are very easy. Stormy, please keep with pliers the center post and unscrew ceramic housing with the other hand.
Steve, if you send her a ceramic, that would very kind of you buddy.

i have a little painful idea
heat the 510 conector of Ody to melt the inside oring
you will need new oring
use cloves to unscrew it because maybe you will burn your hands
ii've done that a long long time ago,when i used to vape with ody

No I can't get the mouthpiece off. I will ask my husband for help but I hate to ask him because he is bad about breaking my things. Thank you for the very generous offer of a new ceramic but I think I have another. If not I can order one from Bruce. I just hoped for a little trick that might help because I can't afford to buy a new one. My financial situation has drastically changed. There was a time when I ordered everything Imeo made but now I have to make do with the wonderfully made items I already have.
Stormy the fact that you can't get the mouthpiece off is not very good news because that means that it's cross threaded. If you have frozen the whole thing (mouthpiece and ceramic housing) I suggest you put the mouthpiece base that is cross threaded over an open flame to heat it well. That way the metal will expand a bit and perhaps come loose. You need to have the two pieces at extreme temperature differences. The Ceramic housing frozen (to contract) and the mouthpiece really hot (to expand).
Let me know how it goes and if worse comes to worse use a pair of pliers and grab the base of the mouthpiece to try and unscrew it.
That is a good idea! I hope it works Stormy, I'm crossing my fingers for you.
Don't worry even if it doesn't work we'll get you vaping your Ody again one way or another dear Stormy
You guys are the best. I am going to try that. I will let you know if it works.
