i could be wrong, I dont have a metric caliper to measure with so I metered mine, it ohm'd out similar to 34 ga. I know Imeo posted the diameter early on in this thread if you want the absolute right answer.
Another thing to consider when your dialing in your preferences is the length of the mouthpiece, the shorter the mouthpiece the warmer the vapor. So if you start by using the drip mode Ody, it will be the warmest, for some the best flavor. Next the short mode MP a little cooler. Finally the big mode MP which is the coolest, due to the longest length.

After studying all the videos by Imeo, Scott and Mergryphon, i finally got down to making my first rebuildable atomizer and am glad to say that it was a success with no leaks so far on my first try. WOW! I never experienced such great full flavor and such amount of vapor with any other atomizer ever. The resistance was 2.5 ohms and I am vaping using 6V. Thank You so much for a great product. You really brought me to vaping heaven. Am so glad to be a solid GG user. More Power to You Sir Imeo.
The wire that originally came with Ody was 34 gauge (0.15mm). Later Imeo suggested 36 ga (0.13mm) as the best wire for vapor and hit, so maybe COV has this one right now.
I've had the best results with 36 for lr coils (.9 dual coil, 1.3-2), 34g for higher resistance coils (2.2-3), and 32g for 7.4v coils (3-4.2ish). 36 is always solid though. Heats up quickly and can get lots of wraps in.
R.D.Sponge's suggestion to twist together 36 and 34 works great for lowwww resistance coils btw, as well as medium resistance coils with lots of wraps. I managed to squeeze 7 wraps of it into a ceramic for 2.3ohms for use at 6v and it's CHUGGING vapor right now.

So, ive started out in short mode with the stock wick and wire. I flamed the ceramic and built a ~2 ohm coil with the original style long and short 2 layer wick method as shown in Scott Bonner's video tutorial.
My results are mixed at the moment. I'm getting a good volume of vapor, but i am finding the flavor to be worse than the flavor i can get from a run of the mill 2 ohm 510 hybrid. I dont quite know how to describe it. It isn't soapy, and it isn't a dry burn acrolien flavor. Its just... Nuttier and lacking the sweetness that i normally get from this particular juice.
The juice is canadian full flavor, which is 70%pg. Its a sweet tobacco that is like a ry4 with overtones of cherry and rose. Kind of like vaping a turkish delight, when experienced in a 510 atty...
Any tips or revalations for setups that optimize flavor?

When you flamed the ceramic, I take it you used a gas stove or a torch and blue flamed it?

Yes. I used a propane torch. Blue flames.
Any chance this could come from the coil being wrapped too tight?

I think I know what you mean. Personally, I don't really like a brand new coil much for at least a few hours and up to a full day... I find that it takes a little bit of time for the coil to break in and for the flavor to fully start coming through. I make a new coil once a week on average and starting the second day up to the sixth day is when it's at its prime. YMMV based on what kind of juice you use and at which voltage you vape.
I feel like the initial "bad" flavor comes from a brand new piece of R wire. One thing I like to do is to run the R wire over the flame of a lit lighter for a few seconds before wrapping it around the wick.
So I keep reading you guys make a wick once a week. Is this necessary? Or is it an ocd kinda thing where you need to do it to tinker? I go about a month on mybrebuildables. Just an occasional dry burn to clean the gunk off.
I make a new coil nearly every day, every second at the most, I have 2 reasons for this;
I vape a lot of really dark juices which gunk up wick and coils quickly.
I can't stand the thought of a coil failing while I'm at work.

Rick I think this is a very good subject for another instructional video from you. Different coils for 3.7 and 6v vaping

Different hardware will bring out different aspects of the flavor profile of some juices, whether it be different model attys or different wicking materials, etc. In my experience, some flavors taste completely different in the Ody than they do in standard attys, while others taste very similar between the two. I've experienced this recently with my AVE Chai juice and find I like the flavor of it a lot better in a standard atty, though it does still taste good in the Ody it's just . . . different.
I know that doesn't really help you, but it's just a fact of life in the vaping world that different hardware will handle the same juices differently
I actually discovered the cause of my flavor ills this morning. The fellow who shipped me the ody accidentally shipped me two spools of kanthal instead of one kanthal and one silver.
My coil was about 5 ohms lol.
I have some silver plated copper wite at work so i wound up using that and the flavor is excellent now.

Wow, glad you got that figured out! Good thing it was on an Ody, I did the same w/ an iAtty once by mistake..until i tasted the melting plastic..
lol, that would definitely put your flavor off a bit 
Glad you got yourself sorted out

Has anyone tried PFTE insulated wire wrapping wire?
It's rated for 200 degrees Celsius and comes in 34awg, 32awg, 30awg, etc., silver plated copper.
Might make for a safer Ody experience by eliminating the potential for shorting.

I'm not sure if it's mis-typo, but If its a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) I think that would have a Teflon Substrate.. I won't use that if thats what I think it is.. Don't ask me how i got the spelling right, just did copy and paste trick! Lol
I feel the need to make this post even if it may make some people upset, however, this is a forum where everyone should be able to mention their opinions.
I never in my vaping life spent as much money on something as I did on the Ody. Soon after I sold it, not due to the performance but rather because It works better on a GG which I do not posses.
I still tried to follow this thread to see updates and arising issues with the ody which brings me right to the point. In my honest opinion (again correct me if I am mistaken) I think Imeo should beta test his products way longer before sending them out for sale. Every time he releases something it costs a whole bunch of money and ends up having difficulties. He never tries to hide it or anything which is good, however, if the maker himself finds issues left and right that shows me there isn't enough testing before sending it out for sale.
Things like that result in me being scared to ever buy something NEWLY released from him because I can just not trust the unit enough hance to the history of previous rebuildable attys.
Again I don't want to say anything that isn't true but this is my personal observation and I felt the need to mention it as a customer should trust the maker of a car, house, sex supplies and if that isn't given it makes it hard for ME to purchase something with such a high price tag.
