I've tried my Ody in big mode a few times, but never have any luck - leaking issues. I still mess with it now and then, I'll figure it out someday. :)

I don't have an ODY v2 in full mode or I would do a video on it. if you like maybe you can send it to me and I can check it out for you video tape it on my you tube channel and mail it back.

you grab the negative wire with the big ring Yeti. But if you try new style Ody rebuildable part you will not have leackage at all

Yeah, Imeo, I've tried the 'wrap neg wire under ring' trick...doesn't work for me.

The leaking in big mode for me only occurs just after filling, and then again when the juice level gets down to about 1/3 full. It must have something to do with the positive pressure just after filling and the negative pressure after juice level drops...or something. I believe the leaking comes from too much juice traveling up the wick, and dripping from the coil. Although it could be seeping around the bottom ring, but I've tried it with no wire trapped under the ring and I still get leaking.

I've tried 2 wicks on coil only and 2 wicks down the channels with the same results. 2 wicks down the channels is very hard to do - when I screw on the ring it always tears up the wick a bit.

Maybe I'll have to order that new V2 part after all. ;)

Thanks for the offer, but neither of my Odys are going anywhere. :)

Mine are both V1, BTW.

Imeo, can you tell me exactly which parts I need from Bruce to upgrade my Ody V1s to V2s? Is it just the ceramic housing and ceramic?

Yes, mainly the ceramic housing and ceramic.

Other changes that Odyssues V2 has are:

The 510 base connector on Odysseus V2 has 2 slots on base for airflow, check this post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clouds-vapor/304576-ggts-question-unboxing-3.html#post6438889

it shows differences between Odysseus V1 510 base and the Odysseus V2 510 base.

The Odysseus V2 "Small Cap Mouthpiece Nut" has a scalloped design:

Ah, you use the V1 style Yeti, ok. I will make a video with Ody in long mode with the V2 style to see

Yes Imeo, I've seen your non-leaking big mode before. :) This time around though, you're using the V2 - that's cheating! :p

When you say to use 3.5mm wick, is that what I got? I got all my wick from Bruce shortly after the V1 Ody came out, and I now see he has 3.5 and 3.0 but I don't remember what size I got - I am sure he only had one size at the time though.

Regardless, I just can't get mine to not leak...I'm sure it's user error, no fault of your wonderful design. I even get gurgling and some small leakage in short mode from time to time.

I haven't messed with it since posting last, but I think I'm gonna try my hand at a dual coil tonight...in BIG mode. I'll report back!

:vapor:
