Since I'm outside USA I bought XS-116 instead XC-116, my first try was using the standard setup (wick inside the ceramic channels to the O-Ring on the base), it didn't work very well, I was having dry hits and rare taste, no matter if the juice control was fully open.
Then I used MrKrinkle's method but with double wick, no leaks, but too much liquid on the wick (high TH and low vapor production).
Finally I tryied MrKrinkle's method, just one single piece of XS-116, it is working great now
Do you get any juice at all in the base reservoir using this method MrK?
Cool. Thank you MrK. In a few days I am due for wick replacement and I am going to try this method. I had been dismantling my XC-116, but that was a pain so I went back to the Ody wick. I must say it is a great idea.
Try this coil method with my short wick and I think you will be very happy...
It should work. Judging by the way juice feeds in. Big or Small mode shouldn't matter.
I've used this method for a couple of months now, Mr. Krinkle is the man. I've actually opened the top of my ceramic to 1/16", and left the channels stock. (I like my wick to be pretty wet all the time, It was running a bit dry for my tastes) It doesn't leak, in Big Mode, I vaped big mode for at least 2 weeks after I started doing wicks this way... and... FOR THE FIRST TIME BIG MODE DIDN'T LEAK AT ALL!!!! That being said, I enjoy small mode the most I think. This is the BEST WAY to use nextel in Odysseus in my opinion. Good Job Mr. Krinkle!
Would this work in big mode?
I still get leaking now and then with mine in the big mode.
I wouldn't mind trying mesh either.... but don't know where to buy it.
I've been using it for a few days now, and no leaks from the base. As MrKrinkle reported, I've vaped a few tanks bone dry to test if I get any standing juice in those channels. Not sure how it's possible, but that's what's happening. The flavor is on par with what I'm used to, using a similar setup in my iatty.
I am finally using my oddy over my iatty (she's waiting for her SS GGTB now).
It must be the altitude. I've tried this method and while I agree it works I havn't found a single method that doesn't leak like a siv unless I close the juice controll completely whenever I am not activly taking a drag.
