Odysseus official

[MrKrinkle]

Super,
Thanks, but I think I'm squared away for the moment. The legacy items aren't of real concern to me as they aren't offered any more. The Ody seems to only be offered in the short mode version, with either an expansion pack or individual pieces to achieve different configurations.

I was mainly trying to figure out what the GG came with and what in the manual was obsolete and replaced with the Ody, and I believe that has been answered.

Thanks Bradey

At the moment the latest greatest Imeo creation we are waiting on is the Penelope & Proteus or P&P for short... which will be sold as the pair...

Proteus will be a VV tube mod that uses 14mm batteries not sure of how long but was hinted at the 14500 size... will also have draw control like the GGTS, basically a slender GGTS with VV... In case you dont know a VV is variable voltage like a Darwin or Provari but its Greek so itll be better...

anyway the Penelope will be the slender version of the Odysseus rebuildable atomizer... I am not certain if it will function in 510 or CE2 Mode like the Odysseus can and believe it will be a rebuildable atty/tank only... but the Proteus will accept any 510 connection to use with store bought atomizer and cartos with 510 connections...

the expected release date of the pair is in about 6-8 weeks, and at this time you can reserve one by choosing a serial number rather than fight for one at the retailer which is very cool...

dont quote me on this but after the P&P are released more of the SSGGTS & Odysseus will go into production along with the hopes of a VV or VW module for the GGTS body... I hope that helps sort the information overload a bit better for you....

There was a short run of the GGTB recently released which I believe is sold out now but more may be made at a later date... other than that all other GG products are out of production at this time like the AVS, AFS, UFS V1&2, iAtty, Slims, Fogs or anything else I may have missed... your best bet to find out of production GG gear would be in the classifieds section of this forum... Hope that helps...

Mr K,

That was a deliberate, well thought out, very well written response. I enjoyed reading it.

Makes me can't wait to get my P&P even more!

Peace

 

[thejager]

agreed SS...and Mr K delete some PMs so i can respond to your PM!

 

[imeothanasis]

did you had experience like that eye?

So burrs and machine detritus are user errors now and not quality control

 

[imeothanasis]

if you have leakage on long mode of Ody then you can do this guys:

MrK,
I thought the Darwin was a VW or variable wattage which is what the drop in kick module is supposed to do. Where as the provari is variable voltage.

The P&P sounds great and I hope it is indeed VW.

To my understanding VW will produce the same amount of wattage throughout the battery charge until a predetermined voltage and then it has an auto shutoff. At least thats how understand the Darwin and the Kick to be.

Thanks Bradey

did you had experience like that eye?

I wash and clean everything when I buy any mod to get any oils off including putting a tooth pick in the holes , the context of my statement was how can burrs etc be user error as was posted

[imeothanasis]

ah, ok no problem eye.

Brilliant Fix. Easy and effective

Definitely Yeti ..... do it note for note what I posted. I went through six processes along with trying most others work around.

Thus far I have had exceptional results and still no leaking, no flooding when I crank the juice flow even more than 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 turns.

I'm truly Amped with the results I've gotten thus far.

Definitely post back..... I'm curious as to your results. We can get you Rockin' and Rollin' without the leakage... I'm confident!!

Good luck in your trials....

Peace-

Well, last night I did up the Ody with the two wicks down the channels and no neg wire under the nut in BIG mode. My results were less than stellar.

At first, it leaked just like it did before. Then, after a few minutes, it just stopped - I think this is because the wicks got soaked with nicquid and swelled up enough to block the juice flow - this was good. But then it wasn't wicking very well - dry hits even with juice control wide open!

Took it out of BIG mode and back to short mode, still dry hits - but no leaking.

Gonna mess with it more tonight....still frustrated.

Krink, you're the best man. Thanks for the re-cap.

Now why didn't I think of that?? Thanks Imeo, I will try this tonight!

I'm still confused though - if the gap between the wire nut and the base is where the leakage is starting, how does it drip out of the center post?? There's an o-ring on the other side of the center post (theoretically) stopping any flow of liquid, right??

Seems to me, the only way liquid could get down the center post is from the top of the center post assembly (directly under the coil), right?

I'm probably just not thinking the right way as usual.

I hear ya' bud.... that's how I was the other day until I resolved the issue. BTW still vaping like a champ without any leaking, flooding while cranking up the JFC, no gurgling or wicking (dry hits) all in Full mode.

Yeti, Imeo just reposted an alternative coil winding video, which you've probably seen.

You didn't mention where the leaking was coming from.

If the O-Rings: Here's what I did....
Clean the O-rings from oils, juice, whatnot.... let them soak in some warm - hot water for a few minutes, dry them off then coat them all in vaseline. Use a good amount.

If the center post: Here's what I did....
Changed my ceramic to a brand new one. Make sure when securing the one NR lead to the post stem, the locking nut in didn't loosen itself. This happened to me a couple of times and I believe it may have had something to do with it. Just make sure (without too much force) tightening the locking nut inside the ceramic base with a small flat blade screwdriver so that lower O-Ring is making a good seal.
Also, I let my wick hang down about 2cm below the O-Ring base so it sits firmly in the ceramic channels and rests in the bottom of the Odysseus GGTS base.

2 things come to mind:
1: Are you using the GGTS base or 510 base?
2: How thin is your juice? Not sure that this should matter much, but I thought because I was using an 85PG / 15VG mix that it may have been too thin.

HTH

Peace-

Hey Super,

Leaking (umm, more like DRIPPING) is from the bottom of the center post.

I'm using a brand new ceramic.

The locking nut inside the ceramic is as tight as I can get it - believe me, it's tight. The o-ring on the other side is squashed pretty flat.

I've been cutting my wick higher than you (per Imeo's video awhile back), but will try letting them dangle lower when I mess with it again tonight.

I'm using GGTS base.

My juice is (DIY) 50/50.

Just so you know, I'm not new to the Ody - I got in on the first round. But, the first time I tried BIG mode (when the expansion first came out) I had the same results, gave up pretty quickly and sold the expansion. Now I've got my hands on another expansion set and I'm determined to get BIG mode to work! Even though I don't think I would use it much - I like the looks of short mode better and usually want to switch flavors by the time it's empty anyways.

I occasionally get leaking out the center post in short mode too, but usually just a drop or two per tank, not the constant dripping I get in BIG mode. I go through about 3 short mode tanks a day.

 

[SuperSonic]

Don't give up dude... we'll getcha Rockin' and leak / drip free! - I'm confident in that!

Update II:

Just wanted to quickly throw another update out there as my Odysseus in Full Mode continues to remain leak free.

Man, I'm so tired I feel like I'm typing with mittens on.....

I was down to to last few drops of RY4 18mg 85PG / 15VG on the first non leaking full mode tank, and decided I wanted to go a little hotter on the coil. So I broke the device completely down, cleaned everything, soaked the O-rings in warm water, lubed the machine then built a new atty @ 1.7ohms single coil. I built it the same exact way I did the last time and once again in full mode... no leak, not a drip, not a drop. I could see how one could get anxiety prior to repeating a process when the process was basically a hit or miss keep your fingers crossed, in the past.

I just hope this isn't a fluke, but so far I'm really diggin' my brand new vaping machine. I love this thing !!!!!

I know, I know... "steady.... steady...." I'm just really psyched! ... and extremely tired.....

Anyway I refilled with Cotton Candy 18mg 85PG / 15VG and just like the RY4... the flavor from the Ody is incredible after making all the proper adjustments and breaking in a new wick.

Hopefully all this goodness will last.

Sorry for the ramble... just so damn amped......
There's nothing like getting one wicked head rush after the first few hits with a fresh coil.

I need sleep.....

Peace-

My update:

Last night I put in a new coil and wrapped the neg wire around the ceramic holder just as Imeo did in the above video - NO LEAKS in big mode as of yet! I've only been through about 1/4 tank so far, but fingers crossed! It's kinda hard to get the wire wrapped around AND screw down the nut IF you don't leave enough extra wire - just FYI.

I went back to single wick down the channels, double wick under coil and it seems to be working great (so far).

 

[MrKrinkle]

I occasionally get what I call the glurgle effect.... when my juice is getting low and there is more air in the tank than juice it gets to a level where it glurgs and floods the coil... kind of like an air pressure burp... which if not caught right away will leak down the center post... it can be avoided if you catch it in time by closing your juice control at the first sign of the GLURG and slowly re-opening your juice control as needed... I do not use full mode but have found it will happen more often in Medium mode than it will in short mode which may be the same problem people are having in big mode...

A little Video that I found that just fits.... except its beer but could also fit with GG's and the flooding issue some are having or the reaction people have when they figure out how to dial in a GG product...

That's great Yeti..... glad you got it finally resolved.

Thanks for the tip Mr. K - Yes, oddly enough, just as you stated... when I was approaching the lower levels of the tank (Full Mode) I started to hear a very faint gurgle (like a slight half air hit) no flood thankfully, but was waiting for some sort of a vacuum backwash. I'm more often than not closing and reopening the JFC due to my prior experience (I hope that wears off soon... lol) and adjusting the air flow, so I'm not sure yet if this may have contributed to it.

Oh... just a note on the coil / wick condition after the first full tank... the wick (using stock Ody wick doubled all the way through) was in great shape, no gunk and was still very absorbent - the coil (single throw 2.3ohm), although showed signs of use (Slight darkening throughout the R wire) was in near perfect condition and still burned like a champ. I just wanted to build a slightly hotter coil.

I can't wait for the VV module in P&P and the addition of the VV tube for the GGTS!

I hope any feedback or updates given will help those resolve issues who may still experience some.

Thank you again for all that you do Imeo. You're Awesome dude!!!!

Peace-
