Wicks burn when they get dry. If your wicks are burning fast it’s because they are drying out. Also, The Orion was built for TC. The Orion Q is the same mod with no TC. I don’t know if the thing needs a thinner juice or not. I don’t own one. Might try a test by thinning a single tank with a tiny bit of water (a very little goes a long way) and seeing if it behaves better.
