Oddesy

[MCam]

Just noticed that the Oddysey is cheaper in the USA, even though it's made in the UK? Even with VAT taken into account there's still a price difference of almost £10.
Considering it has to be shipped to the USA, it seems like a bit of a mystery!!

(Can I buy it on the USA site? )

[Kenneth131]

you could but shipping would increase it more than the £10 saving and thats only due to the exchange rate its priced to be equal on either site for the market in that country not for overseas buyers

We will be shipping the first batch on the 5th of July in the US

That's way different than yesterday. What happened?

[pillbox38]

A note to all Odyssey owners.  We have become aware today of a significant number of battery chargers that have failed.  The apparent failure mechanism and the numbers we have had reported in the short time the products have been with customers, suggest that we have a batch quality control issue with our procured chargers.  Our remedial actions are as follows:

• All customers who have already had their Odyssey shipped will be sent today a new Trust Fire multi-functional charger as we use for our Torpedo product.  These chargers are of a proven quality and will provide customers with their expected functional and safe chargering adaptor for their Odyssey batteries.  We will also provide free 2 spare batteries to ensure that you are able to use batteries that you are confident with that have not been adversely affected by the chargers you were initially provided.
• We request that all customers who have received kits with this defective charger do not use the charger and discard of it appropriately.
• All affected customers will be contacted individually by one of our customer service team.
• All customers that have yet to have their product dispatched will have their kits dispatched today or tomorrow, with the defective charger replaced with a Trust Fire charger.
• We have initiated the necessary actions to procure sufficient Trust Fire chargers such that we will be able to recommence shipping within 7 days.
• All customers who wish to place an order for the Odyssey, can continue to place ‘pre-orders’, which will be shipped once the new chargers have been received, provisionally expected by Monday 8th July.
• All USA customers who have pre-ordered, will have their product shipped as planned next week with the new charger provided within the Odyssey kits.
We apologise for the issues this matter has cause to those who have so patiently waited and shown the trust in us to have purchased one of our first Odysseys.  I hope these actions we have taken maintain your confidence that we will act as necessary to provide you with products that meet your high levels of expectation you rightly place on our company.

I don’t know if the 900ma is correct or not but I got through 4 batteries on 1 Tank = 1 battery per ml
What is anyone else finding? 
I get through 6ml a day so for me this is impractical to say the least.

indeed chops the SD was the same mah rating and yet never had drain like this although one other has mentioned the issue with battery life being really poor which i found strange and thought it may be a duff battery but if cyborg is having issues then it may be something indeed. They are just trust fire batteries though so should be fine.

Have you tried using a battery with the plastic DCT to see if the drain still occurs im wondering if its the new carto

[cyborg]

I intend to try that tomorrow, today was the first day with the Odyssey so that was all I had time for.
I will try the carto from a normal DCT in the Odyssey Tank & see how that works out.

[Kenneth131]

yeah let us know how you get on. Mind the dct carto has the hole punched a little higher so you wont get the last ml of liquid out the tank using that but im guessing you know this anyway thought id mention just in case 

[cyborg]

Normal DCT carto & fresh battery fitted ,working great so I will see what tomorrow brings.

I'm finding the same, 4 batteries per tank

[cyborg]

Used the standard DCT carto today.
Same result, 4 batteries per tank.

[Kenneth131]

Yeah i also think if i remember rightly cutting one coil out wont make a single 1.5 it will make one 3ohm so it is a high resistance carto now just fyi lol

The price on the US site would have to have state sales tax added, which is 8% I believe for Florida, if you worked out the the price in gbp without sales tax at today's exchange rate it would be approx £65.35 and the net cost of the Odyssey in the Uk without vat is £66.66, unfortunately it's our government and the exchange rate that makes it higher here but not as much as you thinkk. If we ever get back to $2 to the £ I won't be complaining about the cheaper price, just rather booking my next ticket to the States lol.
