Orion V2 roll call

[Turbo]

@ 'evil': Stock air hole is 1mm

@ 'vapor': Oh no... hate to hear that. I'd contact 'uriddle', he had success w/ cleaning his. You may or may not but it's worth a shot.

On the list for a 510 DT top cap! Excited!!!!! No air hole for me. I'll drill it myself. I want to make sure I can switch between caps and the air hole lines up exactly the same.

 

[Dik]

My turn for a question as well...
Dreaded button problem. I pulled the switch, and it seems to have gotten some juice in it.
I remember seeing in this thread some have cleaned with iso, any feedback on PGA (190 proof)? Either better or worse?
Any advice would be appreciated before I give it a soak and hope for the best. A simple cleaning didn't do the trick..

I believe ipa is the stuff to use, it's used extensively to drive out moisture from water damaged cell phones.
Glad your cap has arrived and you're happy with it

I'm surprised more people haven't chosen that option

I'm sure this has been posted already, but what is Les changing for the v3? I'm really hoping it's going to be mechanical.

secret.......but one answer I can give you: not mechanical........

Not all people have a drill press or milling machine w/ titanium coated tiny tiny bits. (I do!) And also have the knowlege about working with SS. Work hardening can be tricky and to those who don't know about it, and will ruin your brand new cap if your not careful.

I drilled the one I have on my orion with a cobalt bit in a dremel by hand, marked the spot with a felt tip pen, made an indent with a centre punch and simply drilled it

 

[Crack3dOne]

Oh well. I'll stick with my power tools. lol

How long did that take doing it by hand?

 

[Vapor2112]

I think he meant with Dremel tool as opposes to a drill press, not literally by hand..

Yes correct!, it went through very easily

3 step VV ...ooo some big secret.

Gotcha!!

 

[Vapor2112]

Giving it a little more time to be sure, but the PGA bath I gave my switch seems to have worked!

 

[emonty]

#500 mesh 80x35 mm 7/8 28 AWG A1 Kanthal 1.3 ohm
comparing it with the same flavor and a 6/7 wrap at 1.1 ohm
so far the flavor is very good....heating the coil takes a little longer
both wicking perfect
plenty of vapor

 

[Crack3dOne]

Emonty, I have to ask, do you save your wicks everytime you change your set up? You seem to go through A LOT of mesh! LOL

same wick, unless I make it wider

 

[BluSwatch]

Dik - the top cap I got is working great, air hole lined up without having to mess with anything.

I broke a glass tank, but oh well ...... not from the cap or anything, I just tipped it over onto the edge of the bathroom sink.

Anyway, thanks again!!

Hi guys, I'm having a little problem with my 2.1 button. Just today, the button started misfiring intermittently, like I have to press it just right while listening to it to get it to fire. It seems to be working as I'm writing this. Any pointers as to where to look/clean first?

 

[Vapor2112]

I had the same problem. This advice is at your own risk, but it worked for me...
Took everything apart and cleaned / soaked for a bit with PGA (Pure Grain Alcohol - 190 proof).
I'll likely give it one more bath, but it went from not firing at all to firing 99% of the time.
It was obvious, in mine, that some juice travelled down into the tube..
