Ay Yi Y, I never suggested that. That was Chaos putting a condom on the mouthpiece. I would never put ANYTHING on a GG that wasn't stainless or gold. Just saying. Thats me, not casting aspersions on anyone else.

For those that did not see the GG Ohio thread on my cleaning adventure:
Update - Left it in the Kleenite for little over an hr. Ceramic was white as snow. I did not get any funky taste either. 1st coil 3 ohms on 6V. Another win win for Imeo - just outstanding. Have the mouthpiece open 4 half turns. By the way, I don't have dentures, just a fake tooth you guys. I use Kleenite Dental Cleanser on hot water. I did not remove the ceramic from the metal - just put the whole piece in there. Didn't have a screwdriver. I washed the other metal parts separately. On a side note to Major's post. Kleenite does not have a taste to it.
Kleenite is a multipurpose orthodontic cleaner that is best not only for cleaning retainers, but for mouthguards, nightguards, sportsguards and a variety of other dental appliances. Kleenite is a superior retainer cleaner that is safe for all types of orthodontic retainers including clear Esssix retainers and clear invisalign-type aligners. Do not risk brushing clear appliances with toothpastes which may make them opaque and dull. Kleenite maybe be used with or without a sonic cleaner

Here is the post I got the idea from
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/238074-odysseus-official-123.html#post4875120
If the link doesn't work right it is post number 1228 in this thread and yes it would appear so.
I actually cut 2 pieces 1 normal length one just about the width of the ceramic. I put the shorter piece on top of the long piece in the middle with a pin along side just for form. I then wrapped my coil around the whole thing and removed the pin and placed the coil/wick in the ceramic. I built like normal and before I put the mouthpiece on I trimmed the excess short piece so none of the strands would get caught in the threads.
With the loop version you will get 3 strands in parallel. I just tried Frights version - it worked like a charm and provides enough material to buffer against dry draws. 
LoL. I demand proper credit! 
The easiest way to get a neat hole on one of those is to stick a carto without the plug in it, find a hard surface, and just press down. The carto tube will cut into the plastic. Rock it around a bit and it'll cut a nice clean hole.

My bad! I'm always giving out bad advice and misinformation. Lock me in a closet with nothing but my Stealth and Odysseus as punishment.
One thing about the carto condom on it is it makes turning the mouthpiece a bit easier. Downside: Don't set it anywhere it can pick up "fuzzies" and it tastes like...rubber.
Got it. Thanks Fright88
Very ingenius tips and tricks coming in quickly for the Odysseus already.
Too true! It's not a perfect solution, but it's something for now. Wish Imeo could get some thin Silicon sleeves produced that'd slide right over it and not have the edges the carto condoms do, kind of like the ones they make for the eGo-T tanks.
Just wanted to let you know, that the batch for Germany also had the smell problem and some ceramic pieces where cracked. Also, it seems that some where not assembled correctly, having wrong o-rings down at the mod connector (two identical ones instead of one smaller and one larger).
Otherwise great atty, evcharisto poli, Saki mou!

Just to chuck this out there, mentioned it earlier in this thread but thought i'd mention again as some are experience dry hits etc.
My first coil was wrapped around a pin and wick, it gave a slight burnt/dry hit, any body experiencing this should try wrapping the coil straight around the wick without the aid of a pin, the supplied wick is just sturdy enough to do this if the wire is softened first by making it glow under heat from such as a cigarette lighter before working it. i do this. and currently running 75% vg through it without any issues
i'd advise softening the wire for a few reasons, easier to work, more likely to roll, less likely to kink, burns of residue on wire.
as with all rebuildables you want the coil as close to the wick without actually choking it.
may sound like sound common place to most of the experienced rebuildable atty users but just reiterating for anybody struggling

If Imeo made put those on the magnificent Odysseus I would think he was going backwards instead of being the master magician that he is.
Hey dspin, where did you get Kleenite? I went to Walgreen's and they don't have any... Thanks.
That's your opinion. I like SS tips when it's warm, but they're not really comfortable for me when it's cool. I liked the 'Use your own Drip Tip' setup of the UFS v2, wish it could've been carried over to Ody.
Now I see what all the fuss is about, yep, my Odysseus turned up today.
This thing is amazing.
First thing I did was totally dismantle it, washed it all in the kitchen sink with washing up liquid and nearly scolding water and a tooth brush, rinsed everything well, really well.
Then dried everything with kitchen towel, bloody hell 30 mins that took, time for a vape.
Now Ive heard that a lot of you think it is the ceramic that is giving the funny smell/taste so I sniffed my ceramic and it did indeed have a funky smell.
As I ordered 2 Odysseus's I thought sod it take a chance and blow torch the ceramic,
so I did, heated that sucker till it was glowing.
Reassembled everything, used some silicon o-ring grease and started on the wires, I've bought nearly every wire known to man but thought I would try my first one with what was supplied.
Fiddly as hell but managed to get there in the end, wrapped the wire round the wick 4 times and put it all together, tested the resistance 2.4 ohms, piece of piss.
Filled it up with some juice and OMG this thing is amazing, clouds of smoke, loving it.
No funky smell or taste.
Imeo youre a genius.

Guys, I am sorry that I was on holidays at the same time you got your Odysseus. I had to be here listening to your issues about broken ceramic parts and the smell on them. Both issues came from the same reason. Its the vaseline that I put outside of some of the ceramics to make them fit inside the metal piece. Broken ceramics were the result of the forse I put on them to make them fit inside the metal tube but it was something I couldnt see because the crack was invisible to my eye. So the smell and the cracked ceramics were the result of the same issue. Some ceramics were a tight fit, some others not. So some people didnt have that smell because I didnt put vaseline to their ceramics because they fit nicely on the metal part. China did its miracle again sending me ceramics with wrong tolerance.
I have already ordered new ceramics for people with broken ones. As for the issue with the smell, you can boil the ceramic with the metal part on it or put it in a gas that produce fire and smell of vaseline will leave.

Right from the man himself and already working on making a few problems right. Don't get no better than that!
Heating the cup till red is the best remedy I have seen so far. There will be no traces of anything on it after that.
Thank you for the home run on the Odysseus, Imeo. I couldn't be happier with mine

Hey Guys,
As Morpheus said, there were the same issues in Germany here...
If youd like to check out the discussion (via google translation it could be interesting) we were discussing here: Odysseus-Selbstwickler
And i got another questions to you Imeo:
1. i get liquid flow even if i dont open the LC, also other guys at the german forum made the same experience. I dont know if its becausel my two odysseus have broken ceramic and one has wrong o-rings.. I think the other guys have "normal" Odysseus.
2. And another point is that the taste of the Odysseus is kinda like a 510-atomizer that almost runs dry (no burnt taste but a popcorn/dry taste). What can i change there? Tried 0,2 Kanthal, 0,16, from 1,7 Ohm to 3,0, even tried to put in 2 glass fibres instead of one, opened/closed Liquidcontrol, fully opened its better thatn closed but its not optimal.
3. Whats exactly the name of the wick, where do you get it from? Seems to be the best wick ive ever vaped. Is it from wickstore?
But yea the system is one of the greates systems ive ever vaped, maybe even the best (after cleaning and after i get my new ceramics/orings). Vapor production is simply amazing and the atomizer itself is such a beauty

I hope you enjoyed your holiday Imeo!!
As for the ceramics I hope you ordered a lot because I think most of us are itching to pick up a couple few extras when they are available.
