Orion V2 roll call

[jslick_007]

zap tanks won't fit, but siam mods ones do as well as some of the dct tanks, but need a little filing/sanding to match. i had mine custom machined by someone on one of the other forums. here's some info from another forum on the tanks:

Tank Size :

• PLEXIGLAS^® XT (allround)
  Transparent 0A070 GT
  In europe (and US ?), I use this online shop : PLEXIGLAS® Online-Shop
  
• Diameter int : 16mm -
  0.63" - 5/8" = .625​
• Diameter ext : 20mm-
  0.79" - 13/16 = .875​
• Length : 23mm -
  0.906"​
• Siam Mods SS Tank​

Thanks jslick_007, for the Siam tank, do you know which one it is? because I see small tank and XL tank

JR, I'll pm you pics. There is nothing but a hole. Also Les got back with me but he is real busy. The M2 set up would be easier but really like the wires myself. Maybe full of it, but it seems to hit harder.

 

[tierrataz]

Cid, regular size ( off Siam website) is what you want. The XL will not make two. ;-) They are OOS as is Clouds of Vapor. You'd have to cut them down, but they are very nice. Makes your Orion bomb proof.

A 6ml Boston round juice bottle works in a pinch too.

Yeah I saw they are oos The Boston bottles, I would not have any idea how to cut glass... I'm looking for carbon fiber tubes on ebay now

 

[tierrataz]

Not glass, the plastic ones.

 

[Cid008]

Oh ok, I'll take a look. For the Carbon fiber, I can't find any with 2mm wall...

I got my new orion a couple weeks ago or so. It's my 3rd V2.1. I just had to put it down after popping 4 coils in a row at the top. Strange, I'm using the same method I've used with my other two and I might have popped a coil once ever.

Also, this is the only one where the holes dont line up with the button so I know it's not going to be my daily pocket carry.

Loving the glass tanks although it takes forever to sand down.

That's it for now fellow Orion-philes.

Strange... nothing looks different on the 'deck' does it? My button doesn't line up; it's at 90 degrees but I can hit it fine w/ the buttom on the bottom (puts the wick on the side).

Yes, the glass does take a while. I gave up and just sanded my plexi tank. Wonder what grit is best for glass? I just have fine and medium emery cloth.

Glass tank sanding takes a few minutes with #400 sandpaper made wet

New top cap

 

[Vapor2112]

Very nice!
Expecting mine any day now too.

New top cap

Has anyone sourced a place to get the original plastic 2.1 tank o-rings.....and those that are using the glass tanks from Terry at UKVap..., where do you get an o-ring that works? I have some seeping with the original tank and o-rings and those are to big for the glass tanks, so when I use some that are smaller that really had to be stretched to fit, the glass seeps as well.

@ 'emonty', thanks, I'll try 400 wet next time for the glass. Not sure what number my emery paper is; have fine and medium.

@ 'doc', I wouldn't go above 1.2mm, but I'd try it on a 10ml bottle or a Vivi tank first (has same threads)

@ 'crypto', the size Les uses is 12mmx1.5mm. He said you could use 10 or 11 but the 1.5mm is most important. I started a thread a couple weeks ago in the mod forum to source metric sizes. Someone said Ace hardware has them too.

I have checked the o-ring store but can't find that size....just really frustrated with how hard it is to get the proper size o-ring. Ugh

 

[Vapor2112]

If you find them, let us know where, mine are pretty ratty as well...

Didn't think that the same size as 12mm x 1.5mm. Usually the first number has one designated point of measurement and the second number has a different designation. That's why I passed over them thinking they weren't correct.

Yeah, I know it's usually ODxIDxwall, but these should be the correct ones w/ a 1.5mm cross section..
