    Made my own wick, cut 18mm wide, and oxidized ala Jackfrost from UKV. I'm running 3/4 coil. Slightest restriction (tape) on intake. :) A clue I STUPIDly missed was how dark my juice was getting in the tank. Never had Halo Freedom look like a dark chocolate flavor. Plus the Teflon was stuck to...

    Hot water/ cold water? Bear in mind I have no idea what might be in that sleeve.

    Does it move at all? Wonder if a bit of kanthal got in the threads. If it will move a little, try going both directions. Worst case, vice grips with some padding like those rubber jar opener sheets.

    Rut roh! Sorry, I don't know what to tell you. Is the sleeve still off? My wrench for the top doesn't fit well. I used another from a set I have. Maybe try that?

    No. Looks to be similar size. I don't like too much mesh anyway. Less mesh seems to produce better flavor for me. Why I cut my mesh to 18mm width. Correct, properly oxidized mesh does not need isolators. Ask any Orion owner. ;-)

    Sorry I meant to type wick. Being on phone sux! You are correct on the shoulder washers. It's what I had readily available that fit. Coils do need to be gunked a little, too much is not good. You don't want the portion of the wick in the tank gunked. All that does is darken juice and tastes bad...

    No Ed, shoulder washers as islators for the wick. Look like this. My switch is fine so far but I did use deoxit gold straight away.

    :laugh: yep, not my first rodeo! To clarify, YES I am using isolators (lines the wick hole to keep wick from touching body and shorting if not oxidized properly). I couldn't use the Teflon tube because it as fused (melted) to the I stalled wick. I used what I had which was shoulder washers that...

    Ed, once I source them I'll show you, busy breaking in my wick. ;-) I got them from Pailpoe to mod my original Orion. They work like the Teflon Zen uses to isolate the wick from the body. If you wick is oxidized properly, they are not needed. There isn't any more air, you adjust wick diameter...

    AYS day 3, wick experiment 1-removed Orion set up 2-removed AYS set up...uh oh, Teflon isolator came out. No biggie. Darned thing must be slightly melted but tube looks intact. Can't get it off! This is after just 3 days use. :blink: 3-set up with seasoned wick (no isolator), vape....hum...

    Yes hole lined up as well as varying degrees off the wick on either side. I thank you for trying. :) it's ok if I don't like it right? We are all different and have different preferences. I'm hoping but have received some PMs that have reinforced my experience.

    Yep! Tape first, then a 2 wrap piece of mesh. Helped the flavor a good bit and decreased TH for me, which is just fine. Honestly if I had to just vape it, it would be gone already. I will give it a week and hope for some tips that will make me love it.

    Could, but would have to cut in half if it will even fit. I think it's the cap, so better to rip the Orion wick.

    Well I already have 2 if those. ;-) Id trade for a silver dog or strata, but neither are released yet.

    Bumpi, I was hoping to catch lorderos here. He modded his cap too. I think the size of the air chamber has affect and if so this might not be for me. If there is a viable workaround, I'm willing. I do like some of the features very much. It is very broken in now. I'll rip a seasoned wick out...

    Bottom buttons are easy once you realize how little pressure is needed. Are you resting on pinky or ring finger and just closing your hand? Id compare flavor to a decent 510 atty right now. I cleaned & conditioned with deoxit, modded the cap & dropped a coil and it's a wee bit better but...
