Got ya. how tight do you roll the wick? tight enough to fit a paper clip through the center?
Tight as tight can be and you will end up with a hole smaller then a pin. What you need a paperclip for then? The wick will be very solid and stiff and by doing that it is great to wrap your coil perfect. Save your paperclips for what they are meant ;)

Newbie orion user here, after a few hours of popping coils at the top, bottom, recoiling everytime, I just had to put the orion down. I actually built one of those chinese DUDs easier the first go. Then I went back to the orion, and wrap a fresh coil on there, and took the old wick out. Fire the button, and finally figured out it wasnt my coil, but it was the wick that's shorting out all over the place. Made a new wick to slide over the coil in picture, and voila, works like a champ! Wouldn't have caught it if I wasn't reading the DUD thread.

Really digging the side button on the Orion. I think I want another!

A perfect setup, very very happy!!!



After watching this video...I decided to try it out....and let me say that I am now a believer!!!...WOW ED!!! How using 500 mesh makes a whole world of difference. Rolled up a tight 70mm length 500 mesh wick...3 coils of 30 awg kanthal wire on my Orion V2.1...Vaping bliss!!! Tons of flavor and vapor!!! Thank you so much Ed for posting this video...I think I just found my new setup for all my rebuildables!!!

To everyone watching emonty's video or reading this post....YOU MUST TRY THIS!!! You will not regret it!!!

Attention All Orion Owners...Orion V3 Anyone???

Just read on VW that the next batch of Orions may be of a Orion V3. Les (Nosmoker) is working on changes to the Orion and if they pan out he will add the changes to the next batch! No details as of yet to what they are. Les is keeping it a hush..hush. So if you're interested as I am....I suggest y'all get back on the list ASAP!!!

It's a moded ego lanyard . I bought it from ljesmokes.com the Orion fits in the ones they sell . I shortened the length and sewed the bottom back up

That sucks. They are OOS. I use an eGo lanyard for my vapor... and a ScrewDriver MKI/II case or Gerber multitool case for my Orion...

But the PCB still has the + contact button on it? That is what I was referring to. If you want me to build it for you with Silver Electrodes, send it on. If you don't have my addy still PM or email me ;) Maybe send me a few pics of what ya got. It may take a week to get to it, then get it back to you. If you don't want my help, no harm, no foul.
