I had the same issue with my 2nd Odin, which I just received a few days ago. Unlike my first one, the center post screw may be too short, I believe.

It took awhile for me to secure the 2 positive leads. I'll know more during the next coil change.

That sounds exactly my problem. The screw threads all the way to the top of the center post and does not hold the wires tight enough. Right now I have it built the positive leads wrapped around the screw then clamp them between the center post and screw.

I just wanted to see if anybody had the same problem and knew how to fix it before I contacted Craig about it.

Yeah, from all appearances the positive connections looked tidy and perfect, until I checked the resistance.

My Odin #1 was not that way and I don't want to take it apart to see what may be different because it's work so well, right now.

ETA: Odin #2 has held its resistance, but it took quite a bit of fiddling to keep the positive wires secured.

Couple questions:
- do the negative terminals have post holes or just go under the head of the screw?
- will the positive post accommodate dual 24ga coil builds?
Planning on gettin crazy here once the Odins and router drip tips are in stock. I'm sold on this rda regardless, I just need conversation while I click "refresh" on loki labs...

Negative terminals have a 'trap' small valley milled to hold the wire while screwing.

Positive post can take I think 4 or 5 pieces of 26awg.

I really wish more RDA makers did this. The trap works perfectly. I'm so used to having to wrap wires around the screw heads, your way works so much better. (at least for me)

I am also waiting on a restock of Router drip tips. They have got to be the most comfortable trip tip I've ever used. It feels weird to gush over a drip tip, but there you have it.

Awesome job SoCalCraig!

If you can't count your coil wraps properly on the duals (which I can't seem to do cuz I'm an idiot) the rest is easy on the Odin. It's a great RDA.

Haha looks like one of these ill never be able to acquire one of these, Craig will not sell to me anymore.... :(

Anyone know of any other BF large chamber afc addys?

All you do is whine and complain. No one is going to give you free rda's and everyone is sick of your nonsense.
