Odysseus official

[CaptSteve]

I had the same thought about the wire on top and even more so when I saw igetcha69 (Scott's) video. He puts the wire under the wick. But at the end of the day Imeo designed this thing and having followed his instructions I've never had any problems. Wish you luck bro tonight.

Thanks Steve. I tried doing this this morning. I was using XC-116 wick and out of habit put the wire under the wick. Was in a hurry to get ready for work so I went the old route and locked the wire with the top connection nut and went small mode. I'll have to try it tonight.

I believe I just need to remember to lay the wire ON TOP of the wick when I assemble it. I'll need to watch the video again because I cannot remember how long Imeo had the wire.

I do wonder though about the wire getting caught in the threads and locking things up.

Interesting Oddy. However I suspect that if you don't use soft silver wire there may be a problem. Still some ingenious thinking there.

1 strand 2mm wick plus 1 strand 1mm wick. used in this setup. but doubling stock ody wick (2x2mm) can be done with a little difficulty. ideally you want 3mm width of wick through the channels.

its no real difference from Imeo's latest instructions but securer connection, for reference i used NR that shipped with oddy. which when trapped under the top connection nut can cause a slight leak in big mode on both bases in my exp.

for further refence this is different to my usual setup as i usually use soft silver and experience no leaking when trapped under the top connection nut because the silver gets crushed. but because some users are experiencing leaks i defered back for experimenting. and as so have had no issue in the slightest in 4 tanks full, i'm currently half way through the 5th. so we're talking 30+ml



wrap NR around the wick a few turns approx 3-4mm from the end of the ceramic

Push wick and wire into the channel

should look like this after a few turns into the base

Screw the housing to where it need to be for connection with your mod

the coil of NR wire should of by now dissapeared into the base

make sure you still tighten the knurled connection nut tight as you can, which is purely used for securing the housing now.
on my next build i will be trying this out with a single strand of stock ody wick and report further.

i didn't for this set up Capt

i reverted back to see what all the leaking fuss was about.

 

[fright88]

Oddy can you tell us where you got the 1mm wick? I am just curious because as far as I know Imeo sends 2mm wick out and I havn't seen the 1mm for sale anywhere

 

[Oddy]

its bulli wick, but its available from heavens gift too.

........But paying 60 more euros to have another 3 atomizers is cheaper than everything else in the market and they are also better if you again agree. Thats what I am saying

This is NOT a complaint, as I'm extremely happy with what I got on GG products, but I'm sorry to have to contradict Zeus, as for 60 Euro You do not get "another 3 atomizers"!
Which ever mode you decide to use your Ody in, you always have ONE usable atomizer (for 160€ ) and several parts in the drawer. You don't get 3 at the same time paralell usable complete Attys for 60€.
But I very much do agree GG in any mode is better than all commercial products I know (only my T-Egonis beats it in flavour - and my old Fog still does).

By the way, I must have got a Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri Ody:
The ceramic didn't smell, AND I had not a trace of leaking at all in any mode I've tried.
As the stupid have the luck (old german saying) I must be a complete idiot

Exactly my point Marst ... - doesn't bother me if I would have only 1 Ody, but with 3, it gets expensive (120 Euro just for 2 bigger tanks and many other pieces in a drawer).

@Imeo: will there be an option to buy just the BigMode parts alone?

 

[Zoranth]

I would like to point out that Imeo did us a favor by Selling "Short Mode" early at our request. The whole time it was always intended to be sold only as an entire kit. So, if that had happened, you would have spent $600 for 3 whole kits anyways.

... Usually everything started fine and I didn't find out the exact reason for my leakages but I have a hot suspect. Sometims leakage was related to me starting to tune the air-draw with the AC-Ring. I think that the GGTS telescope screwed harder while I moved the AC and so the connector was giving more pressure to the Ody connector. Maybe this tightened the lower O-Ring. But I still wonder why this should be a reason for liquid to come down to the bottom part of Odysseus anyways so its still a mystery...

Sorry for quoting myself

I just got back to gurgeling. My AC Ring was almost open and I tightened it, maybe a bit to far. The 2nd draw was with gurgeling sound.
I closed the LC and reopened to AC and after some draws everything was fine again. Then I tightened the AC again but this time I didn't open the LC as far as I had it before and it works!
I assume my draw was too hard and I created too much underpressure for my setup and thus forcing liquid to come down from the slots into the lower parts of the Odysseus.
I will check if one or two additional strands of 1mm wick fix this issue for me, I am pretty sure this will do the job. Maybe longer wick (longer than till the last O-Ring) will help too (catching excessive liquid before it comes out of the connector)?

Look, I didn't want to get involved in this because it doesn't concern me and really isn't any of my business... But for what it's worth, Zoranth is 100% correct! The only reason why we were able to get the Mini Mode by itself is because Imeo wanted us to be able to get it by Christmas while the upgrade components were still in production and not yet ready. The initial intent behind the ODY was not for it to be sold in pieces but as a complete unit/kit with all components included for one price. If you look at Imeo's earlier posts, you will be able to verify that to be factual.

 

[Zoranth]

I was not trying to be rude or anything. I was just pointing out why we had a short mode that was released early instead of what he originally intended to sell which would have been the entire kit that would have been release after the first of the year.

As far as being "the producing spokesperson for Imeo" no I am not. But, I have been around this block long enough to pay attention to what he posts in the various threads. All I did was summarize what has been posted across several threads by Imeo himself on the subject.

@Vaporologist: I know what you mean - the first batch (and maybe last) of the Ody is now sold - the upgrade kits for the European market are sold out as well (over 300 Odys were sold alone to Germany). So now I am asking what I still need - what is wrong with that?
If you buy a new car and want special parts, do you ask the salesman if you can get them or do you wait until you can buy a new car which has those features?
Someone earlier asked for a steel window - a whoops .. Imeo is gonna produce it, so why not ask for just the BigMode parts?
It really looks like most Germans just want the BigMode, since in every German forum you can buy UpgradeKits WITHOUT the BigMode parts.

I have one Ody with the complete Upgrade Kit and 2 without (because they were already sold out) and I DO know, that I will only need (if ever) one of the full kits.
Over the past 2 years I've spent over 2000$ on GG parts, and every cent spent was worth it.

 

[Marst]

I fully agree!! It was GREAT of Imeo to have us celebrate X-Mas with the Baby-Odysseus! Thanks again Imeo!

...So, if that had happened, you would have spent $600 for 3 whole kits anyways.

What You want to tell us with this?
One workable Atty + Expansion (with valuable parts in the drawer) is 150 €, so 3 workable Odys (with MANY parts in the drawer) are 450€. No matter if sold Baby (90€) first, expansion (60€) later, or all at once.
Only drawback would be You don't get a Baby on itself - if that's enough for Your needs.

The optimum IMHO would be a "small" kit for rebuildable Ody in small and large mode only for, let's say, 100€ - 110€,
and the big kit for additional Atty,ce2 drip mode options for 150€.
But that off course is only my

No reason to get rude (spokesman...) even if opinions differ!

 

[imeothanasis]

Hare, I never said that I will not make more kits or the kits you need. As for the rest of your posts, please check the price of other simple and single atomizers

Dont forget that I send the Ody upgrate at almost my cost as I did with GGTS base too. I dont want to know what you would have post if I had sold those pieces in a logical price.

I am always doing my best, witch is the best of all the other sellers and its the best for my customers. I cant see a reason for complain. I really dont get it.

I do understand where you are coming from and I'm not exactly disagreeing with your view either. For the record, I didn't even buy the upgrade kit because there is nothing in it that I would have used ever. The Mini Mode is exactly what I wanted and is all I would ever use even if I had to get all the other components. I just wanted to make sure that Zoranth's point and intentions were not misunderstood.

One thing I gathered from what Imeo previously posted is if we were able to buy only some components independently vs. the whole package deal, the price per component would be higher to the point that we are better off getting the whole package. As I understand from what he said, it seems that the upgrade package was sold to ODY owners at almost no profit.

Edit to add: please disregard my second paragraph... I didn't realize that Imeo already posted while I was typing.

With all this heavy discussion about the Odysseus upgrade, I hope it doesn't dramatically effect future production of this marvel.
Personally I couldn't be happier with my Odysseus, everything it includes.

 

[Zoranth]

Anyways, on to a different topic. Just want to announce that the rest of the Odysseus Illustrations are complete and posted in the thread.

Thank you! I love them!

 

[MrKrinkle]

I just hope I can get my hands on a 2nd SSGGTS & ODY Small Mode.... with the ODY/GGTS base this combo is for lack of a better word perfection to my vaping needs....
