How do you clean the ceremic of the ody?
Thank you

If it has turned yellowish from use, and you wish to restore it, just put it under flame, burn it with torch or stove, and it'll be white again when cooled.

Not to worry, it's ceremics, it's ment to take heat, don't think any common household burner would be able to burn it..

Scrub.. Or put in very warm water then scrub. Or just use IA, run thru a few times and then just wipe it clean using q-tips.

I brush mine with toothbrush and paste:)

Thanks Bros'.

When is the time (yellow, brown, black etc.)to clean it?
Do you need thicker wick & more juice when you are using low resistance?
Thanks again

The ceremic piece in there is only to insulate the connectors, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it will ever affect taste or anything, so clean if you do not like the color..

Liquids turns vapor only at the part where it comes in contact with the kanthal wire, wick exists to carry liquid to the wire coil..

Generally depending on the viscosity of the liquid you use, thicker wick might not carrys more payload, infact in some cases it'll slow down liquid wicking, high PG liquid may wick faster with thick wicks..

Sorry to say this, but although there are general guidelines to follow, but in most situations you're to experiment on your equipment and liquid to get the best result to suit your liking..

BTW, the 18650 eGo batt has served it purpose liao, poor thing..

I understand the gauges and stuff but what I mean is for example if I have 3 cm of wire and coil 4 coils on my wick or coil 6 coils on my wick the resistance is still the same right? It's just that it covers more surface.
Provided you can get that much coils on the wick. I've tried a 2mm & 3mm wicks with e same length of Res wire; on 2mm i got to coil 4 coils but on 3mm i got 3 coils. Same res wen metered out.
On edit: Those were coupled in Ody, btw with a shorter length of res wires. On bulli, I went down e gauges and got me .27mm nichrome, had 7 coils, got 1.0ohm. TH and vapour was crazy. No burnt taste on a regulated & mech mod.

by any chance somebody knows where to buy these materials?
Buy kanthal from KS or do your own search on ebay or google. Most of us did that with great results. Yes, they cam be found using Google search! Amazing, right?!

The analogy is pretty simple. Just imagine the wire as a water hose.
The bigger the hose, the more space it has for water to flow through. So the more water flows, we say it has lesser resistance. The smaller the hose, the lesser water flows through, thus the higher resistance it has.
Hope that helps. lol...

I noticed that when I get those crazy vapors from low resistance the flavors are sadly watered down. Instead now I push on 1.9 to 2.2 on my ody but increase the voltages to about +-5V. Get the vapors and the taste as well. But the wicking is a little tricky here. Got to squeeze as much as possible into the given space or the wick dries up really fast with high amperage.

Lovely.:2cool:
