ODY "Medium Mode" Mouth Piece Mod

[keighles]

Thought I would share what I did with my standard mouth piece for the ODY. I simply took a 510 carto, cut a piece off the top and pressed it on the top of the standard mouth piece then used one of my drip tips to top it off.
I think it may be a little long, and the bottom part of the carto tube split a little, while putting it on. (SS doesn't like to stretch.) but this was my first try. I may think of a better way. If anyone has an idea please post it.

Good idea. Next time try heating the carto tube up red hot and then press on. Once it cools, you should be ale to buff nicely.
The metal will plasticize just a bit with the heat and also expand a bit hopefully keeping it from splitting for a clean cut look

Didn't even think of heating it. will attempt that one tomorrow. Thanks

Nice touch... with the cut carto sleeve do you still have juice control??? I was thinking of something similar as I like medium mode myself but was just going to use a small piece of tubing from the hardware store.... didnt even think about using my old drip tips too spoiled by ody and built in mouthpieces.... but then again I was thinking the tubing would not only extend the mouthpiece but make it a soft tip and also provide a little more grip for juice control purposes... the other reason for thinking about using soft tubing would be the scratch factor and would be the biggest concern about using the cut carto sleeve....

 

[keighles]

Yes, juice control still works. Nothing was done to affect the ody's naturtal function in anyway. I am going to cut a smaller piece of carto tomorrow, I'm thinking about 10mm. Then heating it, to press on the mouth piece. I will post some more pics when that is done.

I would chuck the carto tube, uncut in a drill press and the heat it while its spinning and press it onto an appropriately sized drill bit held point down in the drill press vise. Lube the .... end of the drill bit with cutting oil.

Cut up it with a dremel cutoff wheel or a pipe cutter afterwards.

For a drill bit, I would select one just a hair smaller than the Ody mouthpiece.

For length - 10 to 15mm should do it.

I was also pondering using a shorty delrin 306 tip

I was hope my pyrex io6 drip tips would fit, but they're just a hair to narrow

Nice mod!! How is the vape on it?

Revised... cut 10 mm of the tube, heated it up and pressed on the mouth piece. Using an old metal drip tip with no oring to press with. Went on really easy and seals good. Vapes just as well as the original, krn..... does not change performance just length of mouth piece.

Looks great, gotta try this. I'd love to rock some of my blown glass DTs on my Odys, that'd be boss.

 

[imeothanasis]

great work kei!

 

[rwechsler]

I'm in the process of cutting down a spare xl carto tube I had, hack saw is taking a good minute though...

 

[rwechsler]

Failed with torching it, gna stick with regular mp for now ahahaha

 

[Tgoode]

Torching might not be necessary. I pressed mine on with a bench vise.

 

[rwechsler]

I don't have a bench vise
I wonder if you could mill out a few mm of the hole in the current mouthpieces to fit a 510 drip tip?

I think you would end up with a very little left if anything at all.

Sometimes, heat is good. Glad that worked out for you
