Did you dunk the tube with the switch assembly in the PGA? (If I read that right) I see the spring and the PCB for the switch up there and don't know if I can do that. I can probably get some 91% isopropyl, would that work too?

I took everything apart because I also wanted to make sure the o-ring inside was placed properly to avoid future issues..
If you want to do the same:
- Take off the top nut, washers, and spring
- Remove the bottom nut
- Remove the plastic shoulder washer
- Carefully push down on the center post, the button assembly will start moving down
- Once flush, use a small screwdriver to push the center post the rest of the way down and the switch should come out.
- Note that the stainless button is not attached so be careful not to lose it.
- Look for the small o-ring, it likely will still be on the center post
- Give everything a good cleaning and let dry well - It evaporates fast, but best to leave for a day (I have no such patience).
- Put the "button" back in
- Slide in the switch lining it up with the button.
- Use a small screwdriver to get the o-ring into the top
- Reinstall shoulder washer and bottom nut
- Reinstall spring, washers, top nut
Hope for the best..
I'd "think" iso would be fine but PGA is what I used. You may also want to search for the ProVari cleaning and see what those folks are using, safe for that should surely be safe for the orion I'd surely think..
Hope this helps!

Just got my 1st orion V2.1 filled it up with some Bobas and i feel like.im tasting it for the first time all over again, this thing is a PURE flavor machine, much more flavor than my Zenesis mini!
Yep. I vape the heck out of Boba's in my Orion, Lines, & NGP .. Everything else is sorta blah... Zens work great with strong flavor liquids though, like Hype or that Pluid stuff
I am fixing to try it... Finishing the tank of Hype tonight... and it goes in. Been using Boba's and/or Havanna Gold in the Orion, can't vape Hype in it, it makes my teeth hurt, it's so sweet
If you are going to order some I can chip in to help out and get some from you. Say half and half?
Im gonna check at a local harware store first, but if i have to order them ill PM you and we can figure something out
Well my orings look ok but seem to be geting slight leaking out the bottem of the tank, my Zenesis orings are the same size just a tad thicker so i tried them out but they were too thick and the tank wouldnt go on. So my guess is the current orings are possabilly wore out and i may have over looked them. We will see tomorrow after I make a trip to the harware store.
Today I celebrate my three year "non smoking" anniversary with the best Hybrid on the market: The Orion
