I swear I saw someone overseas say they were able to get the XS-116 because they weren't able to get the XC-116 and was a fairly recent post about it.... Maybe they can step in and steer you in the right direction...

ah ha found it XS-116 from Omega UK - Find by partnumber maybe that will work for you... crosses fingers

This might just work they have XC-116 too. haha but both out of stock. Will just order and wait for an ETA.

Thanks MrKrinkle. Can I just use the torching method to prepare it? Or will it be too hot?

OK. this setup.. is a little unorthodox and I feel it would work.. my experience in making a hybrid wick of Mesh+Wick helped a lot especially abt the shorting part.

I undid the last setup that i got from the tutorial. And looking at MrKrinkle's Nextel short wick, I thought.. hey why not?
Check this pic out to understand by what i meant. LOL

It works and doesn't flood. Ok. I am not sure about the Ody 510 Base as im using GGTS base. But no flood no leaks... nada.

LOL my coiling methods are starting to get way out of hand. Im surprised that this works. It vapes pretty well, almost like the previous Hybrid wick setups. Im gonna play with it and see if there is a break in period.

I credit MrKrinkle for giving me an inspiration!! KUDOS

Just checked.. Mighty low.. its at 1.2ohm single coil. unless im reading it wrong.

Now its your turn to turn it Dual. The thing is, i just cant get duals right on my setups. Tried twice the resistance went haywire... and nv did it again. LOL

To be honest, im not really digging this mesh setup. the TH is pretty low. Lets see what happens when it breaks in.

I have coils like that... some kick like a mule and sometimes it kicks like a hamster at first then comes to life all of a sudden... its odd how that works... 1.2ohm to 1.5ohm was my sweet spot when I ran single coils in my iAtty @ 3.7v so were about the same place in taste... Are you still using a wick core in the center of the mesh like the cream filling to a twinkie or is that all mesh??? and it could be possible that its too tight and not letting enough airflow... just throwing out some ideas...

Its Mesh only. Hollow core.

It works but the vapor production seems.. inconsistent. Ill give it some run time and see what happens.

I only messed with the mesh once spent all kinds of time setting it up then went to give it a test fire and my wire melted in an instant... I cursed and put the mesh away never to be used again until now cause you got my curiosity churning....

Dear all,
I'm newone at GG family. I already have ssggts and Iatty, but really would like to try Ody shortmode.
I trying to buy it by spare, but few things are out of stock:
- Housing for ceramic
- Cap
- Small cap
- Short mouthpiece
May be someone can sell it for me? Or shortmode kit ;)
I'm so sorry to disturb on this thread, but it's really last chance to get Ody now.
PS I'm dreaming to get it (hopefully with reasonable price)

Wecome zondz. We have a special place for that, you can place a "Wanted" add here

Hope it helps my friend and good luck
Short offtopic... sorry for that.
But I found Ody and it comming to me :)
Thanks a lot for all your advises. I'm so happy happy happy :)
ssGGTS + Iatty is great, but ssGGTS+ Ody it will be so cool :)
1,5 month of searching is finished.

Congratz to you! Iatty and Ody gives you 2 different kinds of experience. There is NO definitely winner here.
The GG family consist of people that prefers either one.
Glad you have both to play with. :)

Make sure to pick up the GGTS/ODY base its perfection in connection and you can throw away the cheap 510 adapters... Only reason I parted with my iAtty is because of the 510 connection if the iAtty had its own GGTS base I would still have it...

Yeah that's for sure. I'm using IATTY and FOG for now... and I love them, but for outside and driving my car I wonder to have something shorter + liquid adjustable. So short ODY must be great.

Thats for sure. I will try to be a fully member of family... so photos + some notes from me. And ofcourse blondy questions ;)

Thats I'm going to buy next when Ody will come. But it's not big deal... it's available :)
+ I waiting for Kick... so few weeks and I will be completely armed+ I waiting for PP

PS I think my wife will kill me... If will compare of our internet shopping... she's loser. I wonder she will not see this post :)

Hey all....
I have a few questions if someone could provide some advice.

For those that have used mesh;
What size mesh?
Where to get it?
Wrapped around wick, or just mesh and wire?
Would I use the R and NR the same as with wick?

For anyone who may know;
I'm running low on NR wire, are there any US suppliers that carry the 0.2mm Nickel Wire in quantities?
And/or any cheap places to pick up the 30 gauge dead soft silver in quantities?

Received my replacement bottom cap spring, but the last two wicks I made shorted out.
No clue what I did there.
So, as a result my NR supply is shorter than I'm comfortable with.
Thanks!
