Just an FYI. I recently acquired an ODY and was having a terrible time. I would check my coil resistance from edge to edge of the kanthal I was using and it would read 1.9Ω (-.3Ω for my meter = 1.6Ω). Then when I would put it all together, it would read terribly higher... Turns out the "NR" wire that I was using was actually reading 1Ω per centimeter when I checked it with my multimeter!!! I switched to some other "NR" and checked it, which was OK. Made a new coil and it is rocking great now. So somewhere, somehow, someone mixed up "R" wire and put it in a "NR" bag.

So (IMO) the ODY does in fact rock. Vapor is GREAT, TH is GREAT, FLAVOR is GREAT. Now I gotta look into all these other modes of operation, as I have the expansion kit also :) The design that went into these is genius. The concept is simple enough, but the thought that went into it to get the end result is staggering. Plus all the other modes of operation that are built in... just genius... Wile E. Coyote genius. I can only imagine Imeo up all night, trying to figure out how he is going to get the end result of what he has in his head, table spot lights over top of ideas drawn out, some with big X's through them, some with big ?'s. others with the big CHECK mark.

The only cons I have with it, I find twisting the wires together fiddly with my shaky hands and weakening eyesite (but not a big deal), and my mustache gets tugged on when the top cup joint grabs them hairs!:oops:
