    Is all the hype really true?

    Only shortcomings on the Provari for me at least is the button. Sometimes I can be pressing it and it is firing but if I unconsciously let up slightly on the pressure the led stays lit but the device will stop firing. Maybe that is just my unit, but it is far from a deal breaker. It's great...

    What is better, a tight almost solid core wick, or a straw type hollow wick?

    Thanks everyone! I don't know the gauge, it looks to be one size thinner than the stuff from House of Hybrids.

    Orion V2 roll call

    Ratio is 70% vg 30% pg and I have to say that FINALLY I've executed a wonderfully stout wick and am getting a GREAT vape. Flavor is not yet very rich but I know that will take a few days. I twisted two pieces of the thinner gauge kanthan together and left the loop at one end. I then hooked...

    Orion V2 roll call

    I really would like to get a wick/coil setup that produces a solid amount of vapor, good flavor, but really low throat hit. I could care less about TH, I'd rather not have any throat hit if it were possible. I just rolled a really skinny wick, oxidized it, and dropped it right into the top...

    tierrataz, thanks for the info! I have been REALLY blasting the wicks before use. I mean I torch and quench it four to six times, then put juice and burn maybe 4-5 times. It's NOT gunky or anything when I pop it into the orion, but it is black. Maybe the juice I am using is not so good. I...

    That does make sense about the skillet. USO maybe a week or two before optimal flavor?

    Orion V2 roll call

    I don't know what "twisted coils" means. I just hit the jackpot with a long wick shaped like a "U" that goes into both holes but it is only coiled around the side that lines up with the air hole. Wicking is spectacular, vapor is thick and rich, but flavor is still leaving me wanting. I'm...

    Just got a new roll of 325 mesh. What dimensions should I cut the piece for the best flavor wick possible?

    So Kir will be making PMMA, SS, AND Pyrex tanks for the Orion 2.1. He told me they would be priced well, so hopefully this will be nice for us Orion users.

    tierrataz, I wonder if you might be willing to sell me a pre-rolled and vaped wick that you have so that I may try it? Can you guys give me the measurements for the best size of SS mesh to cut for a wick?

    I use Vixen Vaper's 70 VG/30 PG juice always at 18mg, if that helps at all. I do have a thinner gauge wire that I can try and also ordered some 500 SS mesh.

    Hey guys, internet was out for a day. I am using the wire they sell at HofH with some 325 mesh. I have run about two full tanks through this current setup. Flavor is a "little" better tonight, but not what I believe is the potential. I have never measured the piece of SS before cutting and...

    Got my coil working fine, it just took an extra wrap so it's now a 4/5 wrap. What are the possible reasons for the flavor being so muted? Thanks!

    Hey guys. I have decided to keep the Orion 2.1 as my number one device. Can I still hang out here?
