Does anyone know what size the hex screws are on the pos/neg posts? This is like the 500th tool she has thrown away on me. .......n it.
Edit: "she" being my mom. For what it's worth I'm 21 and in college. Can't afford rent right now.

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me too. Guess will just get the 22 mm with the Fatty tank, can go slim line flush 18650, or fatty on a 26650
Um yeah, fraking 0.9 mm will get ya screwed. or something like that. Funny thing is, my Big Dripper came with 2 allen wrenches, and they work fine. lmao
well, kind of, easy on line, but not at the local hardware, if you have any RC hobby stores, they may carry it, radio controlled vehicles seem to use these smaller size allen wrenches. I found mine on eBay.
Well thanks, my orchid is now shelved until my next paycheck. I'm so upset I really really loved it.

yeah, been there, done that, total disappointment for the lack of a bent piece of metal. Shame on the Orchid family, they deserve to be buried with the casket. Could of been a excellent wet dream, but turned out to be a blue balls betty, or something like that.
@dice
22 mm 510 Estia polished finish with fatty tank on 23 mm GP TiX.
The 23mm Estia just has a wider base.
The OD of the Fatty is 24.75 mm.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Sedge, ordered the 22 matte 510 along with the fatty matte tank. Figure that way can go flush and sleek or a slight bulge and extra juice
Dice. You'll love the Estia. My favorite multi coil RTA.
I love the Aqua except for the juice capacity.

Loved the Aqua till it melted the main insulator The one that doesn't come in the rebuild kit, grrr. 
Yeah looking forward to this one, looks like a vertical build will work well with this puppy. Will see.

Ok, so it can be done! This is my orchid sitting in a full-sized Kayfun M tank. The chimney is stock, and no parts were modified in any way. The secret is the top cap. This is an HCigar top cap from the Kayfun lite plus V2 kit. It is totally flat on the bottom, no indentation at all. The Orchid chimney actually makes it in the o ring, and extends about 3mm into the drip tip well. Looks great, and vapes great with absolutely no leaking. Thought I would share my findings..Oh, and a shot of the coils blazing! Vape on, you crazy diamond.

By the way, I got the Orchid yesterday and immediately did a build (why wait?). I used Cellucotton Rayon, which works really well in my kayfuns. Well, the first build was spraying droplets of HOT juice into my mouth and down my throat. I had to back my wattage down to 11.1 to stop this from happening. Ok, so my next build I used organic cotton balls from CVS. Now I'm vaping at 22.2 watts, no splattering, smooth vapor. I gotta say, I love this thing! Very good experience for a $19 topper. I mean, I have paid up to $35 for just a machined drip tip. Good value for the money. One thing I am in the practice of doing now is checking the ohms frequently. My build is at .79 ohms. This morning before I started vaping, I checked the ohms and it said 1.3 ohms. This meant that I had a bad connection. I tightened the post screws, and the ohms went right back down to .79. Hope this helps!
I actually had the same issue with rayon went to cotton and it's perfect now
I just got a VF Orchid (german vendor, from my experience a little better than Tobecco).
I built it using KGD Cotton wick halfway down the channels and it's leaking like crazy, even when I'm not vaping.
It almost seems like the cotton is sucking up the liquid and then pouring it down the air channels or something.
Anything I can do to prevent that? I'm trying cellucotton enxt, but still.
I wasted so much juice already :/

Hmm I was going to try the kgd cotton today I will let you know my experience with it.
the new ft version looks like a winner, larger wick channels, nano tank, looks acceptable. Now if someone can find a SS tank for it. Hate plastic and glass.
