Orion v2.1 battery orientation

[sofauxboho]

I just got my first orion. Am I doing this correctly?


Negative terminal first, right?

I really don't want to burn out my switch before I even try it!

Edit: I have confirmed that the above picture shows the battery inserted into the orion correctly. The device is built up and working great!

The nipple goes towards the top of the device. This means positive side up.

Do you own an Orion?

I understand that this is normally true, but the 310 Vapers site explicitly says in big bold text:
Orion v2.1 - Orion

Notice: Ensure that your battery is inserted into the orion NEGATIVE side first. If the battery is inserted positive side first the device will auto-fire and may damage the switch mechanism.

I know which end the negative terminal is, of course, but it just seems so weird. I wanted to post and double-check before I try to use it.

No I don't and that does sound weird, but if that's what they say to do then that must be right.

Positive terminal of the battery must be pointed down. Negative terminal to the switch. If you place the battery in reverse, it will continuously fire.

Thanks everyone. I've built up the device and gotten it working. The photo above does show the correct battery orientation. I'll edit my OP to say so in case anyone else comes looking for the same info.

The Orion v2.1, btw, is an absolutely lovely device. An excellent vape, and I love the way it feels in my hand!
