About the Guide
The following is a step by step guide to assembling and using your product for the
first time. We recognise that many Odyssey™ owners will be experienced electronic
cigarette users. However, we believe that following the steps detailed in this section
of the manual will ensure that all users achieve the optimum results from their
Odyssey™ from first use.
Battery Charging
The batteries provided are 900mAh, 3.7v, 14500 Lithium Ion cells. For extra safety
and protection the batteries are built with serial over-current protection to protect both
the device and user from the effects of high current events. They are provided with a
limited charge and will require charging fully before first use. The kit is supplied with
both a standard USA wall charger and, as necessary, dependent upon the owner’s
location, either a UK our European 3 pin adaptor. We recommend a switched power
outlet is used. Please follow the procedure below for first charging and subsequent
recharging requirements:

8 9
• Plug the charger into the power socket
(if in the UK or EU use the supplied power adapter).
• Switch on the power socket. The charging LED should be green -
Switch off the power socket.
• Batteries must be inserted into the charger in the correct orientation.
FAILURE TO FIT BATTERIES INTO THE CHARGER WITH CORRECT POLARITY WILL
RESULT IN TERMINAL BATTERY FAILURE AND POTENTIALLY DANGER TO THE USER.
• Insert one or two batteries into the charger - Switch on the power socket.
Unless the batteries are fully charged the LED will indicate red and charging will
automatically commence.
• The charging light will change to green when the batteries are fully charged.
• A fully discharged battery may take several hours to charge fully.
• If the battery is removed before it is fully charged it will still power the device
but the operating time will be reduced.
Please Note: To prevent potential damage to the charger, switch the charger off at the
power supply before removing or inserting the battery.
If the light on the charger does not turn
red this may indicate:
• A battery that is already fully charged.
• A faulty charger.
• A faulty battery.
It is advisable to keep the charger away
from sources of heat or flammable
materials when in use.
Charging Fully Charged

1 0 1 1
Assembly and operation of your Odyssey™
• Unscrew the top (3) and bottom (2) halves of the Odyssey body. Insert a fully
charged battery into the lower body with the positive (+) terminal towards the
atomizer connector.
• With the battery correctly inserted, screw the lower and upper battery bodies
together until hand tight.
• Take the plinth (4) and screw the plinth, narrow section toward the battery body,
until the plinth is fully seated and hand tight.
Understanding the DCT
The cartomizers supplied with the kit are unique to the Odyssey™. You will notice
that the cartomizer has two holes, each hole is 1mm in diameter and are placed 180
degrees apart. The position of the holes on the tube body has been determined to
ensure the maximum usable capacity of the DCT. Together the design of both the
cartomizer and the DCT has been optimised to provide what we believe to be the best
DCT function available on the market today. The cartomizer is held firmly in the DCT
housing by means of two O-rings: one at the bottom and one at the top of the DCT.
The fit of cartomizer within the DCT is designed intentionally to be tighter than for
other DCTs that you may have used. These seals are vitally important to the operation
of the DCT/cartomizer unit and every care must be taken to prevent damage during,
insertion, extraction and usage. Please follow the instructions provided to ensure that
your DCT achieves its designed performance.

1 2 1 3
Fitting the cartomizer into the DCT and preparing to fill the tank
Carefully insert the cartomizer (8) in to the tank (5). The cartomizer should be
inserted squarely into the DCT, using a gentle twisting action to push the cartomizer
smoothly through the O-rings. Take care not to insert the cartomizer off-square as
this can lead to O-ring damage.
Fit the assembled DCT and cartomizer onto the body of the Odyssey™ ensuring the
flange of the cartomizer “clicks” into the profiled rebate on the DCT. Once in position
this will prevent the tank itself rotating around the cartomizer.
Insert the tank filling device (7) into the open end of the cartomizer using a slight
twisting motion until it is fully seated in the cartomizer.
Holding the filler firm, slide the tank up the cartomizer towards the filler until the upper
surface of the DCT is in contact with the lower surface of the filler. The tank is now
ready to be filled with e-liquid.

1 4 1 5
Filling the tank with e-liquid
Holding the tank at an angle of about 45°
as shown, and with one sight-glass facing
upwards, slowly pour the e-liquid into the
filler. If the filler air-locks through filling too
quickly, give the tank a gentle shake until
air bubbles appear, and continue filling at a
slightly slower rate. When the fluid is close
to the top of the sight glass the tank is
effectively full. A small air gap is required
for effective DCT performance. Ensure that
you do not overfill the funnel and that there
is sufficient spare capacity in the DCT to
accommodate all fluid poured into the filler.
When the tank is full, check the filler device has completely drained before sliding the
DCT body down the cartomiser to its bottom position.
Remove the filling device by twisting it as you pull it up.

1 6 1 7
Priming the cartomizer for the first time
Before first use, every cartomizer must be ‘primed’ with e-liquid. Failure to do so will
cause permanent damage to the cartomizer and affect both the performance of the
cartomizer and the flavour produced by the device.
Hold the tank at a slight angle. Slowly add approximately 30 to 40 drops of e-liquid
into the cartomizer, allowing each drop to soak in into cartomizer fibre, finally fit the
mouthpiece and the DCT is ready for first use.
Odyssey™ locking button
A unique feature of the Odyssey™ is the power operating button and its safety locking
feature. The power button includes a simple locking mechanism that prevents the
button from being unintentionally depressed. The button is locked by rotating the
button approximately 20 degrees clockwise, until a firm lock is felt and ‘click’ is heard.
The button will stay safely locked until the button is rotated in the opposite direction to
unlock and allow for power application. Avoid depressing the button whilst attempting
to lock the Odyssey™, as it will only lock in the ‘out’ rather than the ‘in’ position.

1 8 1 9
Operation
With the Odyssey™ now fully assembled and the operation of the locking
and power switch understood, you are ready to go. Holding the device in
either hand, we recommend holding the device in the manner shown below.
The button is spring loaded so that only light pressure is required to depress and
operate the device. Once the pressure is released, the spring tension will recover
the switch to its dormant position and power will be removed from the atomizer
connector.
Whilst depressing the power button, slowly inhale through
the mouthpiece using a long and constant draw. Once
you have finished inhaling, simply remove pressure from
the button to remove power from the cartomizer.
Compatibility
The Odyssey™ battery holder has been designed to accommodate the widest
range of atomizers. As is illustrated below, the device can be used with all your
other Totally Wicked atomizing Devices. Simply choose your favourite and the
Odyssey™ will accommodate.
Also compatible with:
• All Titan and Tornado atomizers • Tornado Dual Coil Cartomizers
• And many other 510 Threaded atomizers

CARTOMIZER LIFE & BATTERY LIFE
Cartomizer/atomizer life:
Any electronic cigarette cartomizer/atomizer has a limited lifespan dependant upon
its use. This will result in gradual performance and vapour drop off, or cartomizer/
atomizer complete failure. We recommend heavy users replace tank cartomizers
every 7-10 days, and Tornado Tank/eGo-C atomizers every 3 to 4 weeks. Dependant
on usage, failure to replace your cartomizer/atomizers will result in reduced
performance.
Battery life:
Average users should achieve between 4 and 6 hours of operation before a recharge is
needed. Although the batteries are rechargeable, they will require replacement after a
significant number of charge/discharge cycles. An indication of pending failure is your
battery lasting for fewer hours than it did when new. High quality lithium ion batteries,
such as our Odyssey batteries, can be expected to achieve 300 charge/discharge cycles.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and general maintenance:
Keep the contacts and threads between the cartomizer/atomizer and the Odyssey™
body clean.
It is recommended that routine cleaning using a cotton bud, soaked in a degreasing
agent as necessary, is used to prevent build-up of evaporated e-liquid deposits from
the Odyssey™ atomizer connector threads and power contact.
To keep the power button operating smoothly, the application of a very small amount
of lubrication may be applied to the sliding surface of the button.
The DCT is manufactured from high grade stainless steel and the glass insert is
formed from precision laser cut Borosilicate glass and is factory fitted within the tank.
The seals between the glass tube and tank are not owner serviceable; however the
seals between the tank and cartomizer can be replaced.

2 2 2 3
Replacing ‘O’ rings seals
The seals between the tank and cartomizer can wear in time, and spare seals are
available for replacement. You can replace the damaged ‘O’ rings yourself, or for
a nominal fee you can return the tank to us for ‘O’ ring replacement, full details are
available on our website.
Odyssey™ battery care and safety
• Never short circuit the batteries.
• Never store you batteries in a pocket about your person.
• Never allow your batteries to come into contact with metal items.
e.g. loose change/coins or keys in a pocket or bag. This can result in
a short circuit of the battery.
• Never place or store the batteries near a source of heat or re.
• Always use the supplied charger.
• Always store batteries in an appropriate electrically insulated
(e.g. plastic) container.
• Keep the batteries away from children.
• Keep the battery contacts clean.
• Never leave batteries charging overnight or unattended.

(or occasionally unlock).
Occasionally this is due to ingress
of dirt, but more normally just the
O-ring in the lock mechanism is
too cold. Holding the end of the
Odyssey in your hand gener-
ally provides enough warmth for
normal function to return.
Flooding of central
cartomizer cavity.
Low vapour production,
spitting, hot liquid expelled
through mouthpiece.
Clean atomiser connector on top
of Upper Odyssey body. Ensure
well charged battery is fitted.
Ensure there is enough fluid in
tank to cover both small cart-
omizer holes. If problem persists
replace tank ‘O’ rings.
Problem Symptom Solution
Low battery voltage. Decreased vapour
production.

thE StoRy
It has been an ambition of Totally Wicked for a time to develop and produce
its own unique products. We have always attempted to take a position of
leadership in the early dawning years of electronic cigarettes. It was this
company philosophy that has led to the development of the Odyssey™.
In conceiving the design, it was recognised that we must strive to deliver
a really high quality and high value product that is still affordable. This
intention would only be achieved if we designed and produced a device that
delivered the highest possible retained value. In this we mean, if you buy a
product that is essentially disposable as most e-cigarettes are, it is difficult
to deliver truly high quality and value in a short finite life of usage. We
therefore had to develop a product that would allow our customers to gain
the greatest value from the investment they make in the device.

3 0 3 1
There are two basic commodity items in every e-cig: the battery and
atomizer. However, strip away these 2 basic functional parts and you
can build a device that houses and delivers the functionality that could, if
engineered to the rigours that would be necessary, last a lifetime. This was
our basic goal. We must state the contribution of the Screwdriver. Not just
in the design concept it helped define, but also directly in the Odyssey™.
Matt Rogers’ contribution must be recognised here. At Totally Wicked, we
hold both Matt and Ted Rogers as friends of the company, and it was Matt
and Ted who co-designed the Screwdriver, which Totally Wicked has been
proud to offer internationally since its launch.
The Odyssey™ in concept is based upon a design Matt developed which
was referred to during design development as the ‘SD Slim’. It was an SD
with a 14500 battery and a Tornado T atomizer connection. Conceptually
the SD Slim required refinement if it were to deliver the product we
intended. Our initial plan was to redesign by developing the switch control
mechanism and atomizer connector and offer for sale with a Tornado
eGo-C atomizer. However, as the design matured we realised our design
‘touchstone’ of ‘retention of maximum value’ was not being held to.
We had also recently procured our range of DCTs and realised that not only
did our customers seem to like them, they could also offer the atomizer
and fluid delivery system concept to our new product. We would need to

3 2 3 3
address a range of design issues that would be necessary to support the
quality and value we wanted to deliver and also ensure we could stand
behind, with the necessary confidence, the guarantee we intended to
support the product with.
Therein was spawned the Odyssey™ design. Along the way, we have built
a very strong relationship with the two partners that have done so much to
deliver the concept to production. Firstly, University of Central Lancashire
(UCLAN), or more specifically, Liam Humberstone, who is a senior lecturer
in the University’s engineering facility.
Secondly, a local company called Dinex, who under the leadership of its
MD, Richard Embry, has worked with a level of fastidiousness which we
believe is illustrated in the detail and engineering nuance that is embedded
into every aspect of the product’s design and production. There has been
a no compromise approach to the design and production development and
both partners’ support has been absolutely central to getting the Odyssey™
to where it is.
Thank You.
