@Imeo: I didn't complain, I just asked a simple question.
If I buy another UpgradeKit (if available), I would have to pay 69 Euros (incl. postage) for a bigger tank (because I personally would only use the parts for the Big Mode). And I still would have ONE atomizer system (depending which one I would use).
For around 74 Euros I get a complete A2-TM SS by Bulli, which is also an excellent rebuildable system (which I also use), just for example. Or an A.R.T. (SS) which is also a great rebuildable atomizer system.
Maybe you see my point?

Add: great work Zoranth!

I see your point and at first I also felt this way but then I realized that small mode is exactly what I needed... Small mode just simply needs to refilled more often than big mode and honestly after 3.5ml using the GGTS/ODY base I found the size to be perfect as it runs out of juice just in time to switch to a new flavor....

60 Euro ~ 80 Dollars
69 Euros ~ 91 Dollars
My drawers are already full with stuff I don't need ...

@McKrinkle - the liquid in BigMode tastes even better than in short mode (I think Imeo said that himself in one video - and I concur).
I'm vaping ~ 10ml per day - so short mode would last me only half a day...

One other thing I'd like to mention:
I tried out the UFS mode - works great, but to use it I need the Ody, the Upgrade Kit plus the UFS. So I make out of 2 great systems just one .. why not sell an Upgrade Kit with all parts for the UFS?

We do have a classified section here on ECF Im sure you could easily sell off most everything you dont need and can easily recoup cost on anything GG there.... most of us GG users do like to have spares... so even an incomplete ODY expansion kit Im sure would be sold in a matter of hours to someone that could use those parts even if you find no need for them...

Well since I live in Germany, shipping costs would be a kill. The German forums are full of people who sell the Upgrade Kits without BigMode for 25 - 30.- Euros.
I didn't really check if they all sold it yet, but alone this week in the DT forum I saw 4 or 5 of them. Didn't check in the ERF lately.
Besides I was just asking Imeo if the BigMode parts will be available alone or not - simple question.

OK we can go back and forth on this all day long but this really isnt the place for this debate nor is any further debate needed... The expansion pack for ODY is just that an expansion pack and is sold for X and if you as the consumer of these fine devices choose to purchase or not is up to you... which is really a very nice option to have at all.... not to mention that we are all lucky to even have Imeo to make us all these wonderful things because quite honestly there isnt another PV out there that even comes close to GG quality standards.... so lets just leave it at that... and be thankful for what we do have...

For around 74 Euros I get a complete A2-TM SS by Bulli, which is also an excellent rebuildable system (which I also use), just for example!

i'm sorry but a bulli A2-tm is a great atty but it is no ody,

the workmanship is 5 times better with the ody, materials are higher grade, and the ody blows the A2 away performance wise 10 fold,

figure that in the cost, hows it possible to complain?


within an hour of receiving my 1st ody the first of my 3 A2's were put up for sale, needless to say i don't own any A2's now, whats the point.

Just wondering, what would have happened if Imeo just decided to stick with original plan of releasing the Odysseus as one, and not sending the Short-mode for an early Xmas present for us all and then the "Expansion Kit" later on... Hhhmmmm, I wouldn't wanted that since I remember that I couldn't wait any longer for to arrive right away! But if looking at the cost of the Ody, I think it would still be cheaper getting a full-Ody rather than buying the iAtty and UFS separately.. Just saying..

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
dsc01778a.jpg


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.


This looks great!!! I'm just a bit confused of which is ground wire.. Is the other end of the NR is still wrapped between the center post and the nut by the connection? :blink:

It would be great if people wouldn't take sentences out of context ...
Imeo asked me:
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
or was that just a rethorical question?

I wasn't talking bout the aluminium version, but the Stainless Steel Bulli A2-TM, which I get for almost the price as the UpgradeKit alone. No one said that an A2 is an Ody, but this way of putting one's words around it the mouth is just ridiculous!
If you don't want people on this board who can THINK or not just nod and bow down, so be it.

@Oddy: WHO was complaining? If you would have read my posts carefully, I stated explicitly that I am not complaining, but was just asking the question IF those parts WOULD be available as stand-alone or not.

Yes the wire around the center pin and nut like normal your just using the base itself as a negative contact instead of pinching the wire under the retaining ring...

We love people that can think but the reality of it is that it is what it is.... and ODY in short mode by itself is a bigger better mouse trap than any other rebuildable available hands down no contest end of story... can even be used in drip mode simply by closing the mouthpiece... and at $120.00ea. its a steal... it comes with an optional expansion kit to use it all kinds of ways/modes no matter how you vape for another $80.00... you are essentially getting a UFS and an iAtty that could be used at the same time on different PV's for $200.00 total... technically no matter how you set it up every mode has a drip mode... simply close the juice control and bam instant drip mode... the bottom line is you need to decide for yourself if the expansion kit is something you really must have or not.... and like everything else Imeo has made for us so far it eventually all becomes available piece by piece as needed... I'm pretty sure Imeo will take good care of us all... last but not least be happy at least your not smoking a gosh darn stinkin nasty ashtray filling analog.... expletive beep filth flarn filth expletive bleep bleep bleep.... Lifes a Garden man Just Dig It...

I have a lot of fun on the forums here and enjoy my old guy stuff. But there are times when some things need to be addressed as a Supplier Associate for Imeo so before I get asked who made me this or that, there is your answer: Imeo did. And if I become offensive unintentionally, feel free to PM Imeo and he will decide if I (or Zoranth) are still suitable to wear the Associate hat.

Specifically @ harekira: Yes, you asked "a simple question" but added a lot of non-question related stuff that made it appear that you were complaining. Your posts on the subject of would Imeo build just the longer tank parts for the Ody are like telling a girl "You have beutiful hair and your eyes are lovely too. But your teeth are horrible and your nose is too long. And I date other girls that don't have those problems".

You ask your question, yes but you give with one hand and take with the other. While Imeo has answered the question a dozen times, sure, it's fine to ask again. It's also fine to mention you use other products as a lot of us do as well but they don't have a damn thing to do with your question.

When a Moderator (Zoranth) answers your first question, you get an attitude. Tip: That's what he made a couple of Moderators for! To help answer questions he has already given a response to or to give help when he isn't around. Personally I think you are asking a question with a purpose other than just getting an answer. If you don't want others responding to your questions, that's what the PM function is for.

As to your comment about "bowing down", that is actually ridiculous and is nothing but trying to fuel a flame you started. Please, you are as welcome here as anyone else. Ask all the questions you will and they will be answered whether you like the answer or not. I will directly and in my small capacity as a Moderator for this forum, ask you to stop trying to engage others in debates that don't belong here.

It isn't about being able to THINK. It's about responding to others in a reasonable manner. Editing or removing posts is the last thing that anyone wants to see in a thread about this wonderful device. But this forum was created and built up by Imeo for the exchange of ideas and sharing help and experiences to others that need it. Poor attitudes or arguing are simply not accepted here.

I really don't enjoy making a post like this but you have refused to let the situation which was answered by the way, go away. Please enjoy your time here but enough with the argumentative behavior please. Let's get back to the purpose of this thread and forum.

Thanks! :)

Nope sorry, I am a strong believer in only having one of each. As much as I would like to have multiple odys and ggs, there simply isn't enough to go around as it is. I have one ggts, one stealth and my iatty and ody. I won't buy anymore untill everyone who wants one has one.

I wish I could say the same, but I commend you good sir.
