Anyone using the Flow yet? I grabbed it on Saturday and threw in a simple 24ga kanthal build into it. The flavour is excellent, building is relatively simple, and so far I've had no leaking or dry hits.
A few things I feel need to be said about this atty:

- the draw is tight. I've been using an Exocet and Kanger rba for the past year, and I was expecting the Flow to have comparable airflow. It's a nice level of airflow for folks looking for a very restricted lung hit, or a pretty damn decent MTL. I can't really say this is a negative... It's just not what I expected with the size of airflow and postless deck.

- the grub screws are a bad idea. I can't believe these little Allen key grub screws are being utilized for this. I'm pretty certain one is already stripped (first build,) and I fear I may not be able to actually remove the screw. I guess I'll see when I rebuild, but I've got a bad feeling about it. Two extra screws are included in the box, and if I did already strip one I'll be contacting Odis about it.

BUT!!! The flavour is better than the Exo or the Insider. Far better.

Go back a bit...ive had one for over a week. Be careful with the grubscrews. They do not need to be cranked to work.

Anyone know why an A tank is double the price of a regular boro when the only difference is a slightly larger hole? Kind of ridiculous

A coil adaptor is included with the tank. Considering that those typically sell for over $30 (Billet Bridge, et al), the price is not excessive.

So I just received the nautilus comfort bridge and have up and running well with the new nautilus 2 0.7ohm coils. Can someone with experience with this bridge explain to me the best way to get the coils out. It installs like the Exo, slide base in from inside the boro down through the hole. The tube then slide from outside through the top. Simple enough. However, unlike the Exo it screws on so the tube doesn't just pop off when need to remove it. I did successfully remove it but I had to drain the boro, dry the inside and coil as best I could with a paper towel, push the entire unit up so the base is dangling free inside the boro and the tube is completely sticking out the top. From there I used some grippy pad thing I had to hold the base while I unscrewed the tube. There has got to be an easier way. This takes away a lot of the convenience of using a drop in coil. Am I missing something?

If it's the same one I have - I push the coil up and the top tube through the top then unscrew it. Frankly - for a drop in coil I hated it. I have the original Bridge ordered that uses the Aspire BVC because you can slide the top down with a Battler ( Battler ) and wont lose any juice and can change out your coil easy.

I needed something no fuss for my son as he can't be bothered to learn how to coil/wick. The Aspire BVC Bridge ( Billet Bridge Aspire BVC ) is the best for that in my experience so far.

There is a post with the how-to for the Nautilus Comfort Bridge I think...let me look.

Here it is!

Also, I cleaned up my Nautilus Bridge installation "tutorial"...cuz I was bored and a seven picture post just seemed too long.

Behold, the power of the "markup" feature on an iPhone:

Yes, the original BVC bridge does seem to be much easier to work with but I much prefer these new nautilus coils.

The tutorial works well for installation but it's the removal I'm having trouble with. When the coil an base is all covered with juice it's impossible to grip and hold in place to unscrew the tube. Maybe I just need to press down harder on the base to keep it place while unscrewing the tube. I'll try gains later, enjoying too much right now.

Odis Flow atty:

FAIL

Either I got a clone, or this is the most ill conceived atomizer I've ever laid hands on.

1. Titanium - no experience with it, but this atomizer feels too light and it feels CHEAP.

2. The smaller diameter upper chimney does not accept the Billet Box drip tip adapter. Full metal on metal contact, with no hope of lubing up the O-ring to make it fit.

3. Leaks - PLENTY. I've never had this much of an issue building an atomizer and having it leak all over the BBox.

4. Flavor - For the few fleeting seconds I got it to work, the vape was ICE COLD and the flavor was rancid. I made sure to wash this with hot soapy water and rinse it very well, as I do with all my devices, whether new or on re-build day.

I don't know how else to describe the anger I have at this device right now, but I DEFINITELY feel like I got scammed out of $130...

No build videos on YouTube...I don't have Facebook so that's not a resource...

Used Sneaker's pics as a general guide...

This is an abomination.

Exocet/Insider mutant offspring and the worst of both devices bundled into one.

It has been a very busy time for all of us here at Odis. With 5 new products in the works, and 3 of them already on the market (O-Atty v2, Flow Ti, The BFSB squonk mod), all while preparing for CVE Toronto, there was more than enough work to go around.

We understand that there are some products with issues out there and we would like to help out all who need their O-Atty v2's, Flow Ti's, or BFSB's sorted out for them. Whether its a BF pin, chimney, or door fitment issue, we will be here at the ready to assist you.

With multiple new products being produced at higher volumes, there was bound to be some errors in production and packaging. We had time constraints, were short handed, but needed to stay on track as best we could.

For all those who need help with replacement parts/devices, please let us know by contacting us on our support page. Our team will work as fast as possible to get back to you and provide you with further information.

The support page can be found here: http://www.odiscollection.com/support/

We thank all those who have been patiently waiting on our new releases and for supporting us during this time. We only wish for your satisfaction when using our products and will work to rectify any issues you may have.

Thank you

The chimney not fitting is a known issue. Some are having problems with the drip tip as well. Contact Odis support and they should take care of you no problem.

Titianium is really that light, I wouldn't worry about it being a clone. Titanium is also harder to work with, which I'm guessing has contributed to the fitment issues.

As for the rancid flavor and cold vape, sorry, can't help you there. I don't know what could be causing that. I'm getting pretty good flavor and nice dense vape from mine.

No leaking, but I do get more condensation around the AFC than the Exo.

It's sucks getting a new toy and it's got problems right out the box. A of people of FB were disappointed. Odis says they are taking care of everyone and sending replacement parts so you should be taken care of.

The Flow leaking is due to poor wicking, plain and simple. It is wicked just like the Exocet. As Hobbes pointed out, it definitely produces more condensation around the AFC, though.
Contact Odis about the chimney issue, they'll remedy it one way or another.
As far as flavour and vapor... I get excellent flavour with zero machine oil or rancid taste, and a warm vapor. My only issues are the grub screws

So sorry HB! There isn't a clone of the Flow so yea, seems you got an authentic one. I did see on FB that there is a recall of sorts because of first batch issues. Let me see if I can find the post and I'll get with you.

Build guide from their FB


We've had a couple people ask for some tips on building the Flow. Here's a quick pic with a small explanation. How have you guys been building your Flows? More in-depth video in the works

Sorry for the crybaby rant...

I was just really ticked off and disappointed that I was having those issues.

Thought I'd spend the rest of my day off leisurely building my new toy and test drive it...

I'll be reaching out and asking for a whole unit replacement to be sure I don't have any other issues with the deck or chimney parts.

I've got plenty of building experience with the Exocet so I'm certain my flooding and leaking wasn't coming from the wick.

Thanks to all for the support and the information!

------
Last on my list that I forgot to mention...

The little airflow control ring is a PITA to take off when the device is installed in the tank, and the little nodules on it, which aid in dialing the airflow, make it very difficult to go through the bottom hole of the tank...so it's best installed after installing the atomizer...but then, like I said, you're stuck trying to get it off somehow since it doesn't fit back up through the hole.

I'm just gonna clean it up, box it away, and contact Odis.

I may even ask for a refund.

I feel like they rushed this device out of the planning room.

There are just too many things they could have done better.

My complaint aside from the grub screws which no one likes, is that the juice holes are noticeably bigger on the production unit than the test unit that was sent out and used in all the pre-release photos. You basically have to use a 3mm coil or larger or you'll get flooding. One of main reasons I jumped on a pre-sale in FB was because it had the smaller juice holes than the Exo or Doggy. Turns out it's the same or even bigger. Luckily I'm getting pretty good performance from it even though I usually don't build above 2.5mm coils.

Hang in there, once Odis remedies your issues and you get it working right I really do think you will like it. I completely understand how you would feel right now. I'd feel the same, but give it a chance once get the replacement parts.
