Not sure which pod you are using but I do agree with you that the settings on the orion should be ran quite low. I've seen a lot of people complaining about pod life and I feel like this is mostly due to running the Orion at an unreasonable power level and/or using juices with high levels of sweetener.
Using the .25 pods with diy 50/50 25mg nic salts with the pod set at 10/0/2 I've been getting 10 days (20-35ml) absolute minimum out of each pod. My current pod has been on my second orion since the day I got it, has 1800+ puffs on it and shows no signs of decline.

Yeah low is the way to go. Still baffles me that they make, market and promote it as a 30W (boost to 40W) when in actual fact that kind of power will never work in this device... in fact it actually runs the risk of giving it a bad name.
Same reason my truck has a speedometer that goes to 140mph, but the engine is designed to never break 100mph, due to a speed governor...which a lot of cars have.
It’s all about sales!
Yep agreed...I'm just counting me lucky I learnt about it on this forum. Many Many others out there will hook it up at 20W and only use it for a day...nah I don't see the marketing sense in that.
Agreed, I feel like the only reason I've been so happy with my orions is because I knew what to expect ahead of time.
It's honestly baffling to me that lost vape would put a 30 watt chip and allow it to boost an addition 10 watts in a device that uses pods and has a 950mah battery.
On some levels I feel like the factory settings are even set up in a way that burns out the pods faster intentionally.
Honestly lost vape could have made the Orion a 15-20 watt device, and set the factory settings at reasonable values. Had they at the very least set the original settings better there would probably be a lot less orion haters out there.
But...in the world of DNA250’s and ChinaMod 213watts...who in the heck would buy a 15-20watt mod?
Provape was ridiculed for releasing a 20 watt mod when the P3 came out.
“Nobody MTLs anymore...nobody vapes that low...”
But here we are, in 2019.
Pods are quickly becoming the main train of vaping...high res, low power, MTL draw.
2019, and SvoëMesto just released a new Kayfun Lite, and it sold out within a day.
It’s so funny to me how cyclical things are!
I do love the Orion. It's my go to for out and about. As you guys found. As a mtl vaper you need to run it on its minimum setting for best out of the box results.
With a vg level above 50% you risk scorching that cotton on the first vape if turning it up.
A little tweaking on escribe (definitely lengthen the draw time) and it's fantastic.
Definitely nicked the design from the zeltu though and the Orion q is a carbon copy.

I never heard of the zeltu before but I definitely see the similarity in the pods. It's interesting that their pods are higher resistance.
I think the lostvape Orion Q has basically the same resistance now.
Obviously like the Q it's a more straightforward mtl set up with no evolv board.
It's a UK design (the zeltu) but like many UK and US designs. Once you speak to a Chinese production factory about the costs of production they can offer, the design mysteriously appears in a slightly different form from another Chinese manufacturer. Very little you can do about it either.
The pod system I was most impressed with last year for mtl was the Hava. Superb quality, tiny and a proper decent mtl vape. But.. zero after market support over here. No pods available anywhere except from hava.
Shame as they do a cotton pod (the original comes with ceramic) which is amazing for flavour. If I could get the pods easier it would be my back-up car mod.
Has anyone here replaced the battery in their orion? I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a Lipo that will fit in the orion. My first Orion has been discharging extremely quickly the last few charges. Everything in escribe is the same and the pods haven't changed.

This is smallest (capacity) but should fit.
