My first three Orchid pods gave dry hits. The fourth one was dead..didn't make contact. The fifth one worked, but then the pod retaining clip inside the mod broke off. Had to secure the pod with a rubber band to get a vape. Got fedup with the rubber smell, so I threw everything in the trash where....it belongs.
The Orion been working for me for months now. I used about 30 pods on it.
The thing about the Orion is don't set the power to high. Set it on escribe to a max of 11W. Boost at max 3 (for me) and warmth around 4. Anything more than that, and the coil burns.
