Odysseus official

[fright88]

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

If you are having juice leakage here is what I would try.

Before you screw the ceramic and tube into the base pull the o ring down the pin a little. Hopefully this will make the o ring go into the connector part. I havn't had any leaking yet but I am thinking a second o ring around the pin would also work if you have the right size.

If you still have leaking after this is done then the leaking would have to be from juice dripping down from the wick and I don't think there is any way to remedy this. Possibly a thicker juice.

I have a few questions regarding the functionallity of Odysseus.

1st, Imeo told us to cut the Wick on the height of the lower O-Ring in the Tips and Tricks Video - what is the reason for that and why can't (or shouldn't) it be cut somewhere just on the level where it touches the base?

2nd, the base of Odysseus isn't flat but there is a small podest of about 1mm where you screw the atomizer into. In addition comes the ring that fixes the atomizer against the base. The Liquid-Control starts above that level, which is about 2-3mm above the lowest base-level, so there is always a little bit of juice remaining in the tank. At least there is a point where not both strands of wick get fed with liquid (assuming Ody is hold more horizontal than vertical). What is the reason for this? Maybe it has to do with the other Odysseus options?
And will the new GGTS Base also have that little podest?

Thanks in advance, don't get me wrong if these questions sound odd! I am a total GG fanboy and the Odysseus is simply amazing and the best concept for an rebuildable atomizer I know, I just want to learn a bit about it!

Modding the ceramic with a cylinder diamond burr worked perfectly. In order to keep the knurled wheel's threads from cutting the 116 wick, it has to lie far enough into the ceramic that they don't hit it. That size burr cut a deep and smooth half round receptacle; just right for the 1/16" wicking.

.....Served up a 3.3 ohm coil and it's producing massive amounts of vapor....MASSIVE amounts.

Only one thing to say about it.....

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

This is as good as it gets.

Para,

I will try doing that as well. But, I am gonna wait until I have spare ceramics as Murphy seems to hang around my house alot.

Keep the ceramic wet to cool the burr and move the cuttings out of the way. It cuts really easy so there's not much that can go wrong....just line up the burr with the existing channel, use the lowest speed on the Dremel, and almost no pressure. The burr does all the work.

I used a small diamond burr to round off where the horizontal slot meets the vertical slot so the wick doesn't get cut when it's shaped into place. Probably not necessary but might as well while I've got the Dremel out

I truly love this thing. Has been vaping like a champ for the last 24 hours now, and am totally in love with it.

Oh, one tip/reminder regarding air control for those of you vaping on a stealth cap like me. I mentioned the very airy draw I was experiencing earlier, but have found that if you do (as Imeo recommended repeatedly in his videos) screw in components in the right order, the draw is excellent.

Leave the inner ceramic housing a bit loose in the base. Screw the Ody base on to your stealth cap FIRST. All the way down so that it meets the stealth cap. THEN, finish screwing in the ceramic housing until it makes contact - give another little quarter turn to make sure its good and tight. Then screw down the ring to lock it all in place. This eliminates any gap between the Ody base and the stealth cap, and tightens up the air draw, limiting it to the four channels in the cap.

I know I'm only repeating what Imeo already said in his video, but I had forgotten this on my first couple builds and was annoyed at how airy the draw was. Now its just about perfect. The ONLY downside I've found to this method, is that I can no longer use my nifty little 510 voltage meter from COV. When I remove the Ody, it's connection is recessed too far, and doesn't make contact when I screw it in to the meter.

I'm so impressed with everything I've read and seen I've ordered a 3rd one and the first two won't even get sent out until the 10th-12th

He has you cut the wick lower because juice can pool in the base under the threaded ceramic holder. If the wick is cut low like that it should suck it up.

I actually dont really have problems with the LC, its not a big problem. I dont get leakage it was just that i had good liquid flow without even opening the LC...

The Second and Third point were more importantn for me.. especially taste..

Hmm for taste if you drip directly down the mouthpiece or onto the coil does it taste any better?

As for the wick I don't think Imeo specified where exactly he ordered it from but I know at one point he mentioned the place he gets it from requires something like 5km of wick ordered at once so it isn't really cost effective to shop from the source unless we get some huge group buy going. Hopefully more wick will be making it into vendors hands soon.

 

[fright88]

Just in case anyone is bored and wants to know I finally used up my first endurance wick/coil combo. It lasted 2.5 days and about 25 ml of juice.

Tried a dry burn but it couldn't get the carbon buildup off. Took it apart and torched the wick and it came about 95% clean (still one small scorch mark in the middle) but the wick was frayed about 50% through so I just tossed it and got a new piece of wick. I used the same wire since I was to lazy to build a new one and she is going strong again.

All in all not bad about the same amount of time/juice I was getting with my iAtty but is it much easer to rebuild IMHO.

 

[imeothanasis]

juliu, the reason that is feeded with liquid even with the mouthpiece closed is because liquid go inside the threads of the rebuildable part and reach the wick. Its a basic feeding that is nessesary either. The mouthpiece has to be moved to another position only if Odysseus isnt feeded right like when the needs of liquid are more than the apropriate

About o-rings: They are the apropriate ones. But when I run out of the small ones under the ceramic then I put the bigger ones. If you put a small one under the ceramic you will not see any difference to anything.

[imeothanasis]

Thanks a lot fright
Yes, I ordered 1500 pieces. They are on their way

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.

Hi Manni

You can cut the wick whereever you want but if you leave it long then maybe the o-ring that is under the pin will sit on the wick and it will not seal well. But you can do something else if you want. Leave the wick until the same level of the center pin and put the o-ring inside the small slot that center pin has. That way the o-ring will be pushed in the right place before the wick goes under it. That way you will have more wick under the pin so even better feeding with the mouthpiece closed and you will avoid any leakage even if your o-ring is damaged after months

As for your second question: The small area without threads is made to let you screw easily the ring that keeps the rebuildable part in place. It has the same diameter as the ring.

I dont have problems accessing the liquid that is lower than the ring exept you keep the mod in a totally vertical position, something that is impossible

I have a few questions regarding the functionallity of Odysseus.

1st, Imeo told us to cut the Wick on the height of the lower O-Ring in the Tips and Tricks Video - what is the reason for that and why can't (or shouldn't) it be cut somewhere just on the level where it touches the base?

I love you, Para, but I'm wondering if I should sell the thing right now, I don't have time for all this screwing around........

 

[fright88]

I love you, Para, but I'm wondering if I should sell the thing right now, I don't have time for all this screwing around........

Have you tried it with the stock wick yet? Don't get me wrong because I love the Nextel but this new wick is pretty good.

 

[RippleInStillWater]

All I've done is looked at it, I haven't even watched the videos -- I have to download those at night soon, they're too long for me to do it during normal hours. I sold my extra Iatty because I couldn't duplicate the cut in the ceramic Rick made for me, I did not like that stock wick at all, and, in fact, that one cracked so I haven't built a coil in a month. Watching the thread its turning unto another thing that people are modding to make work better, its nice that others have the ability and can show and explain it, but that doesn't mean that everyone can do it. I do like my I06s in my UFSs, maybe I'll just stick with those.......

 

[sacredgaming]

Sorry ripple ill be honest that the xc116 is nice but the stock wick seems to work fine. If you were close id gladly do it for you.

I know what you are saying. I was the same way with my iAtty. The stock wickstore wick burned up fast and didn't wick and sucked, the e2 wick Imeo origionally got also sucked, and Nextel was great but seemed like a PITA kinda worked great but once I got my UFS I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

This new wick is wicking great for me with a 2.5 ohm coil and 6v and 60/40 vg juice. No wicking issues at all. Granted I have the juice controll open about 70% but still no dry hits untill I run out of juice which is my only complaint about the Ody since I have to refill it every 2-3 hours but the larger capacity will help me there.

That being said yes I will probably modify a spare ceramic for Nextel just to try it but so far I don't see a real need for it. Although my palet probably isn't as good as Rick's lol.

As much as I have bugged you over the months Ripple, you'll have to trust me on this. I am using the stock wick and wire that came with the Ody and even with my shaky hands and piss poor vision, I managed to make a decent coil the 3rd try.

And you also know how I almost drove everyone to drink on the UFS wait and I am still the biggest UFS fan boy around. All that said, in a literal side by side test using the same juice, batteries, etc it isn't even close.

I setup #1376 with the Ody and #008 with the UFS and I have to say the Ody rocks the UFS. Sure the Ody is new and the UFS will always be my sentimental favorite but I'd at least give it a go before selling.

Outrside the multitude of cleanings I gave it to clear the scent on the ceramic, the closest thing to exotic I have done with it is vape it while watching "Taxi Cab Confessions" on HBO!

All kidding aside, whipping up a coil and getting straight to using it is not much more time consuming than getting a new atty dialed in on the UFS. And the flavor, vapor and all that jazz are amazing. Sure I'd like to try the Nextel and all that but while I have the time, I dont have the ability.

As much as I kid around, I am a stickler for the flavor and vapor and if this thing wasn't that good (for me anyway), I'd just not say anything.
