Orion V2 roll call

[nj1001]

Welp I got my drip tip shield cap in.yesterday, not sure if I like it or not. I love the idea and its function, but not the added weight

Got mine today. I hear ya on the added weight. And the finish & color is a bit off & the hole placement is too. I lucked out with my bograt cap's hole being in the same exact location as the stock cap but this shield's hole is in a different spot altogether. Guess I'll have to devote a dedicated tank to it.

Yea when ever I buy a custom top cap I always get them without a hole because all orions are different

Well look on the bright side you have a few new tanks heading your way and one of them can bw your dedicated tank for that cap

So no need to change to fatter orings for tanks from Bedazzled?

 

[shooter445]

No bigger orings are needed with bedazzles or the IBTanked tanks

What size did you use on the new Bedazzled tanks?

 

[shooter445]

Just the orings that came on the orion, the tanks are the exact same size as the ones les sends. I believe the orings are 12.5mm x 1.5mm

Checked out IBTanked site and they will send orings with every tank. Nice!

My neighbor has one and I keep trying to get him to sell it to me... he says it leaks a bit and isn't too happy with it but wants to trade it for something else.

Having a bad day with the Orion. Tried for like 2 hrs to get the coil right. No luck. Get it working fine at first put juice in and check again for hot spots,sure enough I have one on top coil. Tried and tried again, same story. Had to give up for the night. Going to try making a new wick, and start all over again. Guess its just one of those days...

 

[shooter445]

Search the peter k method, if your not familiar with it. It seem to work great with the orion.

Yes, that's the way I always prepare my wick.

Kim, sorry but it happens to everyone at some time. One reason to not try and re-coil/re-wick all your gennis at the same time.

I noticed something this spring about oxidizing and it has made my life much easier. All the quenching can make the mesh stiff & brittle. I oxidize the flat sheet to a grey-blue haze ( mere seconds), roll and fit. Works great for me. There has been done chat on the pit that we might be over torching, burning the oxide layer off. YMMV.

 

[JollyRogers]

I do the same as tierrataz. Torch my mesh, then roll my wick. Never have a problem now.
