Your Ody coils

[MrKrinkle]

I have done it this way since the 2nd coil I ever made with ODY and it has worked perfectly and still is...

Honestly?? Do you know how prone to shorts you are with the channels exposed like that? At least put some ody wick in the channels! It'll help your ody wick way better. Plus, I think nextel is over rated. It fcks with the flavor and just doesn't do anything that a well built coil with ody wick can't do (besides for how long you can use the same wick, but still.......)

 

[MrKrinkle]

Have you tried it??? I have done it this way for 2 months now never had a short but I'm sorry I thought this was a forum where grown ups exchanged ideas and shared different methods... maybe its too scary for some people but some of us have no problems using this method... as far as Nextel is concerned there is a rather large difference between Kiln treated Nextel and torch treated but you are entitled to your opinion but its amazing the few people that have tried this method are still using it now but hey please dont try this method its too advanced for you if you cant tuck your wires into channels....

I've never tried that exact setup because I don't want to risk wasting a set of fuse springs, but I have tried it with a small length of 1mm wick running down the channels in addition to the small piece of nextel. It worked just ok, by no means anything special. And for the record, I've used both torched and kiln treated nextel, and am familiar with their unique characteristics. I was coming from a place of concern for your safety and the safety of your GG, Ody, and batteries, not from a place of childish condescension. I choose to not use a setup like that for a multitude of reasons, none of which include me fearing that I'll be overcome by a wave of incompetence and fail to tuck the wires into the channels. There's nothing advanced about sticking a small piece of nextel into your ceramic, so please don't patronize me, especially not after spouting on about the forum being a place "where grown ups exchange ideas and share different methods". Not only is leaving exposed wire in the channel dangerous like I said, but you're actually hindering the full potential of the atomizer because the juice doesn't have a clear channel of wick from the base of the juice control mouthpiece to the coil.

Again this method may be too advanced for some users.... the thread asked about how you set up your rig this is how I set up my rig... it works great for me, and for a few others that I know of... its not for everybody and thats ok...

Whatever floats your boat. I guess I'm just a fool for wanting to get the most out of my atomizers as possible. Wrapping a coil around a single piece of nextel is probably too complicated for me, I guess I'll just got pickup a $179.95 Blu Smoke kit at the mall...

....Well my dad will beat up your dad

On a more productive note...
I setup a SS mesh wick in my iAtty and I've gone through about 1/2 a tank with it now. It's working just ok. Im gonna remake the wick and coil tonight and use my top plastic that's modded for Nextel instead of my stock one so that the threads of the juice control cone doesnt crush the wick like the it is right now. Also gna bend the wick with the torch AFTER installing the coil into the ceramic (but not while it's inserted into the top plastic!) so I can wrap it tighter than it currently is.

Flavor is good (not as good as a perfect genesis coil or standard Ody coil), vapor is good (not great), throat hit is pretty solid. The wicking problems are what's really holding it back fr working like its supposed to. I'll keep everyone posted on the status of the project

 

[urquidezj]

for ss mesh r roll up oxydize make it the length you will need to fit inside, unroll it get two strands of silica, roll it and leabe the tails to soak up the joose. at least that how id do it on the ody.

I also juice the wick tucked in the channels before I put the housing into the drip mode base.

Then juice the top of the wick and coils and do three or four burns, checking for the coil for probs.

Put on drip mode mouthpiece, drip three drops and vape away.

I started this thread to find out what methods others were using. I appreciate all the replies. Keep them coming. I am learnig a lot here.
What is nextel?

 

[Serpent67]

Nextel is a fire proof casing for wiring. People use it for wicks, but it has to be kiln cured for it to work properly, or so I have read.

After reading about particles in your juice and vaping them supposedly, I'm not messing with the stuff. Cov wick works fine for me.

I'm sure someone else more experienced with it will chime in to praise the stuff, but to each his own. I'll stick with the silica.

 

[rwechsler]

I have a fair amount of experience with it in my Patriot UFS atomizer. For the first month or so that I had the patriot, I was running nextel in it and thought it was incredible! Flavor was good, clouds were fat, th was fine (more contingent upon coil/voltage though). But once I switched to ody wick, I realized how badly the nextel was messing with the flavor. The nextel definitely wicks great, maybe even better than the Ody wick, but the way that it mutes the flavor of your juice is too big of a drawback for me to continue using it over stock Ody wick.

 

[imeothanasis]

you have to burn wick until it gets red-white sweety

I have read here that a lot of people put on a new coil for every fill up. I'd like to hear what is your favorite coil method single dual etc. Wicks dual or single. How often do you change and why. I am new to the Ody and I don't like a new coil. for me it has to break in. New it just tastes nasty.

I tried mr krinkle's methjod and it works rw.

thank you Imeo for the help here. I will burn my next wick longer.

I know that it works, I just don't like knowing that something could go wrong and damage my batteries, fuses, or buttons.

essentially your not doing anything different but using less wick... the channels themselves feed juice to the ends of your short wick just as it does with long wick... it also acts like a Dam to impede flow through the gaps of the ODY ceramic and ceramic housing... I have actually vaped a tank bone dry with my coil method... story goes... vaping away like normal just put in a new battery then vape gets weaker and weaker really fast cant be batteries its fresh right.... so I open it up and its dry as a bone... I'm thinking great my tank must of dumped into my catch tank on the GGTS but a look inside its also bone dry... I just hadn't filled it in a while.... and what little juice I did have left was all in my lil 1/2" piece of wick which was just about dry itself... but from this mistake I did learn that less juice is wasted using a short wick as well and that by the act of vaping itself all juice eventually finds its way to the wick to be vaped....

Now honestly as far as shorts are concerned as long as your center pin wire is securely tucked into its channel there can be no issue... if you use 510 to 510 adapters or the like you have a better chance of shorting out your GG that way than with my coil method... which is essentially the reason I no longer use a 510 connection and only use the GGTS/Ody base...
