Heylo!
Okay, so I recently got an Orchid and I really think it has potential. The only problem? I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a build and wicking that will allow the damn thing to work properly. I had been through like 10 builds, all miserable failures, when I finally thought I built something that would work... Nope, after five hits fluid was literally bubbling our of the airflow holes. So that makes me think it was somehow bypassing the wicks I had placed over the juice channels when inhaling.
I just don't know about this thing anymore. I mean, I will probably just go back to my KFL+ V2 at this rate.
So I did some searching and I saw some threads like 'My first build on the Orchid' and other threads that had no pictures! Darnit. Onto Youtube.... Okay, that build, well the wicking, completely clogged the juice channels... Remove a bit of the wick? Only problem? There wasn't enough wick left to properly supply the coils. It has been a nightmare of either not supplying the wicks correctly and getting dry hits, or allowing too much supply and getting flooded.
Oh my goodness, so frustrated. So that leads us here. I just wanted to make a build thread for the Orchid where, maybe, some of you experienced Orchid builders could cure my debilitating ineptitude before I huck this thing against the wall. I should just get a Reo already...
Okay... Please include pictures in your posts, anyone who decides to respond.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
