Lost Vape Orion

[moodsmaster]

The mesh works great, thank you. But it's very tight to get a 3mm wicking help in there. So maybe it has to be 2,9 mm
Still it's a pity, that there is no real MTL-Pod.
But for now this is the best way to make it better. It really improved for me, too.

Found something better than mesh. Mesh started to soak it the vape and got wet by the time.
No i am trying the silver/metall Food Grade Wine - NoDrop "things" a small sheet out of metall wich you can roll/unroll like the mesh. Is used on wine bottles to prevent them from dropping the wine.

Just cut out a small piece, roll it. Fiddle it into the tank.

OK, found a good match. The chimney from a smok INFINIX pod just fits in. Has has the right size already. Just slide it in. Its wide at the top which can act like a catch cup as well.
Think about to design a 3d printed drip tip where this chimney can be used inside.

I bought another Orion from Breezy when they had their sale. Interesting tho the charge end is smaller than my original Orion so the charge cords cannot be swapped. Hmmm did they change something? Also an original pod would not fit, but would fit on my original Orion but was tight.

I'm also getting some leaking from my first pod, not much but I don't leave it on when not in use. That first pod has had about 25 fills

Did they switched to USB C type or is the connector smaller in length?
And could you check if the pod got changed from the airflow? Weird... did not read any information about different styles. Or maybe higher tolerances on the production line.

The only difference I can see is the connection port hole is a bit narrower.

I slide it in there, it was sticking out at first, cut it to correct length.
0.25 ohm MTL.....I can taste what flavor now.

Well I had hubby look at my pods and he found the ones from Breazy are a bit thicker/higher where it fits in the tracks. He got one of those pods in the new Orion but had a devil of a time getting it out! So to make them work I have to file down the ridges- ack! Has anyone had this happen with the pods not fitting?

First one almost needed pliers to get the pod out. 2 others no problem smooth as butter removing them....acceptable manufacturing tolerances/QC??

 

[ArminF]

hm.. when i read all this i have to say its a bit of a shame. You pay for a qualitative very high product to find out that the production in China has a bad QC. As well as some bought it because it offers MTL and at the end it does not fit it. Whether you have to DL it or have wicking problems or you have to work around with self made hacks.
I really hope Lost Vape does listen and starts recreating the PODs to deliver a real MTL feeling.
So last resort right now would be ODIS... btw. did not get an answer from the admin yet.

PS: i still love the Mod and do prefer it over all others. Especially outside.

Update PS2: since i take out some cotton the wicking is better and so the flavour as the coil/wick is soaked better.

I have a lineup of DNAs but I haven't bought the Orion yet.

Maybe because I use pods only for stealth vaping where I shouldn't vape.

Maybe because I could well get an Orion from the first batch here in EU, where the turnover of expensive vapes is speedy as a turtle in the molasses.

Maybe because I use exclusively pods where I can replace the coil (Hybrids).

I'm sure I'll get one, as soon something from the above list changes, so I get the encouragement I need.

It is not the expense of the purchase, but the certaintity of a new set of problems, that I don't want at this time.

This said, I follow this thread with attention...

Is his using the pod release for inserting and removing pods? I use the release all of the time. If you snap them in, I dunno, they might be harder to get out sometimes. I purchased all of my pods from eciggity, though I don't see how that would make a difference.

Yes push down release to insert and take out. The pod that does not fit was just too high on the raised tracks so got wedged. After he widdled it down a bit it worked better but not great LOL. I need to try another pod and see how many are like that.

 

[bnrkwest]

The tolerance on the pod ridges to tracks on the Orion is pretty small window so any variation in the plastic is probably the problem. I bought a diamond chip nail file so I can fix any future pod problems LOL I really like the Orion for my out and about vape. I find all vape equipment a bit fiddly. The pod systems are probably the least fiddly, but even they have their own fiddle factor

I should not have opened my trap saying I had not lost a drip tip..... Since then, I'm down 2....

Think I'll start putting a drop of Gorilla Glue on them right out of the package from here on out.,.,

Breazy has the device for $36 ($40 - 10%) and the 2 pack of pods for $7.20 ($8 - 10%). Free shipping over $50. Coupon code CVD10 for the 10% off site wide.

Breazy has them on sale again.

At $17.99 a piece (drip tip) I'll break the end off an ink pen first.
