So just got my orion in the mail today, I bought it from 310 and emailed them about it but have yet to hear back. Anyway I put a wick and coil on it and went to fire it so I could get the hot spots out and I got nothing. So i tried a different battery and still nothing. I took out the switch and looked at all the solder points and they all looked good. I did turn a battery around and it did fire but like everyone knows with these it won't stop firing so that is useless and just a quick way to ruin it more.
So what I'm trying to ask here is has anyone had this issue, is there a fix for it that is easy or am I left with a broken orion that has yet to be used. I'm pretty ...... off considering I spent $250 on it and apparently it wasn't tested, which it ridiculous to me when your spending that kind of money. Also if 310 can't do anything who do I go after to get this solved.

So I talked to 310 on the phone and it seems like some people got good ones and others weren't so lucky (estrader apparently you were a lucky one), 310 said they are getting in touch with no smoker asap to try to get new switches. In the meantime I was able to snag some switches from the individual that makes the orion, so hopefully in around 2 weeks I'l get the switches and be able to use it.
