Hi Mike I screwed the centre pin into the plastic bit first so I had something to let me grip and line the plastic up straight with the metal cup

[mikrosoft]

I tried that but mine screwws in for about 5mm then i need pliers to get a bit more but it just wont go in nice the threads are very fine and i cant see any cross threading so confusing.

[FoGGy]

mike mine was tight in the 510 end(slotted) but went in fine the e2 end (not slotted)

all i did was screw it in and out of the e2 end and kept blowing the threads off, as soon as it slid freely in and out that end it went in the other, as long as you aint cross threading it working it back and forward will cut the threads deaper on the plastic section till it eases in

[needleworks]

Mines was quite tight as well Mike, but it went !
I might suggest trying to find something metal that has the same thread pitch, and screwing that in to try and clear the threads, this way at least you won`t be damaging the plastic. Could you not solder the threaded end from an old atty on to a metal rod/bolt, and try and work it down just to try and clear the threads?

hi all

i had te same problem did not matter whather i screwed it in either end ,it was too tight, in a bit then out blew threads did that 20 plus times but still was way to stiff and the center pin scew in and out no probs, so as i dont use ce2 i scewed it in as far as it would go then used screw driver on center pin to drive it all the way in,

i doubt il use it as 510 tank either

Thanks for all the help guys but its too late now i have broken it trying to screw it in with brute force and pliers lol.

Personally i feel the quality control for such an expensive item is way off i had swarf in one mouthpiece and the threads must be way off as this should slid in smooth as silk not with pliers and brute force

[pancho]

Oh dear! Just checked mine and it screws in easy peasy! Wonder if its the stainless threads or the delrin threads.

[mikrosoft]

Well how strange i just with pliers screwed it in now i need to solder the end on the brass pin wish me luck lol

[pancho]

Happy soldering, so now it fits?

[EsxPaul]

That sucks. I hope you get it sorted m8.

[ezzy1975]

I did'nt think much main treads on the internal part of the Odysseus,put me right off. I could see problems with it. Only my opinion though i bet it performs well when it's set up

[mikrosoft]

well i managed to solder it together screwed it all together thought i had better check the you tube video and realised i had screwed it for ce2 mode and i wanted 510 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so i started unscrewing and it snapped again this time i give up lol.

[billthegreek]

i have the same problem with the black plastic and i first screw the plastin with plier and after i screw the centrer pin...
but imeo says that this have problem

[EsxPaul]

Hopefully Imeo will be alerted to this problem as it doesn't appear to be a one off. I know it's not much help at this very moment but maybe at some future point spares can be sent out gratis.

[billthegreek]

imeo knows about this problem and we have discuss about it to the greek forum and i think he will
fix it at the future

[styl3r]

For the cost you would hope they would replace it in full, good luck Mike hope you sort it, to your satisfaction.
cheers

[mikrosoft]

Thanks i have contacted Imeo on here to see about getting replacements as they are guaranteed for life i think fingers crossed.

[EsxPaul]

I would think he will, Mike. He promised to do something similar when the broken ceramic pieces become apparent.

[styl3r]

By the sounds of it there pretty good guys. Also who needs negative feedback. Should be fine, oh yeah thanks for the batts Mike i posted a few for Vapeman hopefully should get there before he flys out.
Cheers mate
