I wrote a post to Imeo some time ago about how nice it would be to have a "medium window" mode for the Ody. I saw one on the Greek forum (I guess someone modded it) so I decided to do some tinkering.

The problem I was having was that the expansion pack has either a too long a mouthpiece or using the short mode mouthpiece it's simply too short. Well what I did is insert a second ring (the one we use to ground the negative wire) over the one on the ceramic. Now the second ring raises the short mouthpiece just enough to make it look just fine. It vapes great and looks quite good. It would be great to have a new mouthpiece just a bit longer than the short one though. Imeo you listening brother (I know after P&P :))

This is mine




This is the Greek moded one

I suspect they have cut the bottom tube to make the mouthpiece just right, or used a new longer mouthpiece they machined.

Imeo I'm going to machine the tank tube to make it shorter. Your solution will be the easiest but not the best looking and we cannot have anything but the best for GG's. Is it cheaper to manufacture shorter tank tubes than mouthpieces because that would solve the problem as well. We will just have a bit less juice capacity

EDIT
No I cannot machine the tube because of the internal threading

I was thinking of you making a shorter tank piece as an extra to make the medium work with the short mouthpiece

a metal mouthpiece will look exellent Steve if you think a little more about it:)

We cant shorten the tube because then the expansion kit will not fit buddy

its a nice idea Steve. But mouthpiece is a better option because of 4 reasons:
1. We can have different mouthpieces
2. Lower cost
3. we dont carry extra tubes but only a mouthpiece that can be put on all Ody modes too
4. I have to make a new mouthpiece too together with the new tube

New mouthpiece extension wouldn't feel as stable as a new tank section or full new mp though. I'd love to see 1 long SS tank piece for big mode (and a clear one as well!), and also single clear windows for both short and medium mode. Engravings on the single ss tank piece for big mode would be a must though.

I'll second everything you said Rick. The Ody is the best atti out there. There should be no compromise to it's looks or versatility.
