Third Grand + Odin - an instant classic!

[Papa_Lazarou]

Bottom fed Odins are only available from lokilab.com. Mine was shipped on September 2nd and I still don't have it. Lost in the nether regions of USPS and/or Canada Post.

Yeah, I was afraid of that - they're sold out, of course.

Pain, that shipping limbo, ain't it? What part of Canada?

Come to daddy



Where did you get yours?

Loki Labs. Great shopping experience with fast shipping. Pick up a couple of their drips tips while you are there. Fit and finish with the Odin is perfect.

I have changed my mind about sub-ohming. I am running the Odin with dual 7 wrap 27 g. Kanthal micro coils at .41 ohms. 9 mg nicotine at 89% VG and a bit of menthol with the air holes wide open.

Best. vape. Ever.

I seriously don't know how this can be improved upon. The Odin's juice well is such that it really cannot leak unless there is epic user error. I can't get it to leak even when I purposely flood it. It is producing the biggest, smoothest, most dense clouds I have ever personally experienced.

If you haven't gotten in on the Odin yet, you are missing out. An LP Grand with an Odin is the state of the art. The build is totally simple, even easier than the RM2 in my opinion. The results are straight bananas, and are inspiring me to use superlatives that are not allowed on the ECF. Suffice it to say that this setup is off the charts in every aspect.

Please explain to me how you get the Odin not to leak. I first had dual coils on it and every time I laid it down drops came out of the airholes. And that's after keeping it upright for a bit so it could drain. My 2nd build is just a single coil with less cotton, one leg hardly even touches the deck, I thought that would keep it from absorbing so much liquid, but it leaks just as badly. What am I doing wrong, or what could I do right to stop the leaking? It drains very well, but the liquid in the wick leaks out when the Reo is laid down. (I did tape the one air hole and that helped.)

Any atty I've laid on on the airhole side will leak - especially one with humongous slots like the odin - it's gonna drain. There's always a small amount of juice in the wells cause their flat. You will see this when you rebuild - the cotton picks up juice even though you haven't squonked yet

But it does leak. Since there are 2 airholes, unless one is taped up, it's apt to leak. By taping up the hole that faces the desk when put down, it can't leak. But if you're using dual-coils, then you wouldn't want to tape up an air hole, would you? I'm just using a single coil in it now so I can tape up that one air hole. The leaking just seems to be a bigger problem with the Odin than the RM2. I've seen others say they recap the Odin to plug both air holes before putting it in their pocket. Anyhow, maybe having such a deep juice well is not all that advantageous, although it does drain well. But that cotton sure absorbs the juice well too, and after all the juice has drained out, if you tilt the Odin base, juice will leave the cotton and drip out the holes. Oh if there were only a fix.

Yes. It will leak if laying on its side. No question about it. You know, you don't have to tape the hole opposite the one on your single coil build - the Odin was made to run a single coil and single AFC too - just put your coil in the other slot on the side with 2 slots

Hey, thanks for that. If I build the coil at the right-hand slot then when I cap it, the one air hole is closed and the open one is to the rear when my Reo is lying down, which should make it less likely to leak on the desk. That's good to know.

Now this is the mystery. If I don't over-squonk, my RM2's never leak. And I'm sure the Odin drains well because I've watched it. So...I'm just wondering why the Odin would ever have to leak at all if no over-squonking is done.

The RM2 holds much less juice than the Odin would be my guess . It also has a concave deck whereas the Odin doesn't.

 

[supertrunker]

my guess is the AFC. There is none on a RM2 and only one hole.

This has been a major whining point about it, unless you get clever with your coil builds. imo, i can make every dual coil atty leak - the reason why is simple - for duals you need more air flow. So you run them with either drilled or more open holes on the afc.

The juice it holds now only affects how much escapes if you tilt it. It's like Genesis atties in reverse!

As explained to you already, "ALL" atty's will leak if laid down and atty's with AFC will usually leak more. The long answer as to how to keep them from leaking when you lay them down is to "NOT LAY THEM DOWN"..... Why would you ever want to lay a REO down anyway? It stand up on almost all surfaces pretty good as is.

 

[thewomenfolk]

I really like the concave deck and I like that it's ceramic, the RM2 is just a superior atty. It's fun to try other attys though.

If I set a Reo down, I will knock it over. Just a given. So I lay them down gently so they can rest while I vape my other Reos. They get jealous if I just vape one all the time. You should know that.
