I use the premades at the moment so this should be ok and i torch them everytime, when i don't use premades i use kanthal and silver so maybe its the nickel from imeos premades (he uses nickel right?) cause i have this problem only since i use these i think, i will try my normal setup then. Thanks, haven't thought of the metal from the wires :) i also wrapped them pretty tight after reading that this can be an issue too

its not the premade wires for sure Ax. To my opinion, make at least 4 turns of R wire around wick and make it tight. Thats what I do and I am always ok. Maybe you can try to use a needle while coiling

So I also received an Odysseus. I believe it's a V2... A close friend has stated that it is prone to leaking. Has their been a fix to it to prevent said leaking? Been focusing on the Penelope currently may do some deeper reading over my days off work.

I found that when you refill it if you take the entire top off- with mouthpiece (the lazy man's way), refill and put the top back as one piece it will leak initially. If you leave the mouthpiece in but in the 'off' position, fill it, then put the top piece on, then the top screw - NO leaks...

Hi, I just got an Odysseus and I accidentally cracked the ceramic inside the ceramic housing and it got stuck.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get it out?
