Also, judging from what people have said, I seem to have an interesting airhole placement. It's spot on over the wick but at about 175 degrees from the button....

Welcome Marob! Glad to hear you are enjoying your orion and this thread has been helpful to you.
Wrt the I love my Orion thread, not sure why admin closed it. Blondie had no affiliation with Les, just a happy customer. Kinda worried this one would meet the same fate. Thankful it has not.

Hey guys! Got myself an Orion and I'm really digging it! However, I got to sand the tanks down. Any idea what's the quickest way to do this other then just using sand paper and really sanding it for hours and hours?
I also have a Siam frosted tank that I really did like to fit onto the Orion.
And thanks for sharing your information everybody, this thread was really helpful to get me started with my entire Orion. Especially the tips and tricks about it.

Most of the orions buttons are in a different location from device to device, i have 2 Orions v2.1, one of the the button is 100° and the other one is about 170°, I'm not sure why they are all different but that just adds character to each device, but if your orion is set up properly when how can hold the in what ever position is comfy for you
It's not going to take hours! I use 40 grit WET paper, make sure you keep the paper and tank WET, It took me about 10 mins to remove 1-1.5mm from the tank

Yea I agree with that, on the other hand I use my Orion more than any other device, so because it sees more use its going to have more wear.
Wrt dings/scratches, I try really hard till the first appears. After the initial upset I'm over it. I bought it to use and hard used it has been F
for the past year. I didn't buy it to polish and grace the mantle. ;-)
I did put a stainless tank on it early in. Les told me I'm bomb proof now.
400 grid wet sanding paper, circular movement, check size every minute. Should take max 10 minutes. go slow and steady.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Man, 1hr of sanding to sand down 5-6mm on my Siam Tank. I think it is gonna be worth it for a frosted tank. By the way, I hit 2/3 wrap on a 30AWG Kanthal, or 3/4 twisted coils on a 30AWG. Both are equally good, just that the twisted coils tends to clog up a faster IMO. You guys should give it a go

For sanding the tanks I use 400 wet paper with it nice and wet..back and forth circles and such. took me about 20 min to get a tank perfect from 180 deg off...but the paper was old too.
Interesting that the buttons are in different locations.
mine is 90 deg to the wick which for me is ideal.

Yea having a good amout of paper helps too, because the tank material will chew up some sand paper, I think I used like 2 or 3 sheets just to keep the paper fresh so it cuts better. another thing I did was after using the 400 to get my tank where I wanted it, I took some 1000 grit and went over the area that I sanded just to give it a smoother look, its not necessary, but just something extra you can do
Early December another run is supposed to go out. Not sure if the US dealer is in that.
I have no experience with the ihybrid, but have heard they vape like a zen. The Orion has a tighter draw and more flavor IMO. YMMV.

Yea I use to be a Zenhead untill I got my first orion, then after I tried the orion I barely used my Zen anymore because IMO the orion out preforms it in every way especially flavor, alot of people say its because of the airy draw but I have one of my orions bored to 1/16 and it has more flavor than my Zen had, I think it has to do with how small the chamber in the top cap is, needless to say I have since sold off all my Zen products in favor of "better" genesis attys
All I can say is that despite the fact the button is a little awkward for me to press, I love the Orion 2.1! I'm really enjoying my first Hybrid here man.
I have found that if you use 500 mesh your wick position really doesnt matter, so you can put the button where ever you want, for the most part my wick is at 8o'clock which puts my button on the top and with 500 is wicks perfect!
So in your opinion the Orion is better than the Zen? Darn i just ordered a Zen, i shoud`ve waited!
I know right. I was expecting to get minimal flavor with a larger hole for the orion. But instead, the orion slapped me in the face. Full flavor from then on. Lol
