Received my extra just-in-case switch from Pailpoe today. Took approximately 3 - 4 weeks. Worth it for peace of mind, IMHO.
i wish i could get one. Registered on vaperwall for almost 2 weeks now also. still not given active setting yet...
No need to register:

Do you have paypal? That is the email address that you need to send 15 euro to with paypal, and in the comments box you need to provide this.

Orion quartz tanks are available @ bedazzle tubes. Click on plain tubes, item 16, 17 and 18; 21mm, 20mm, 19mm tall respectively.
Just want to give a quick shout out to all the veterans on this thread.
It def took some doing (mostly some reading...) but yesterday I got my Orion running amazing... I am 100% happy with it, w/ a stock air hole.
The flavor is unsurpassed compared to my ZAP or DID.
Thank you.

The switch itself should last for a very long time. People who had switch issue is for the earlier versions; due to the juice leaking from the atty chamber down to the switch. My theory is that running the device too hot melt the nylon insulator, shorts will melt it as well, or the insulator was not tighten down enough.
The later version had a silicon warps around the switch rod which goes into the tube inside the tank or the shaft which will prevent any possible leaking.
I bought the Orion used and was freaking out about the leaking so I took it apart to see if there is a silicon wraps or not. I was glad that I did; although there is the silicon wraps, it is missing a rod oring.
I do not suggest anyone to uninstall the Orion unless the switch isn't working but if you are really freaking out like me and want to make sure that no leaking will ever happen; please make sure that you put some vaseline around the silicon wraps so that it will go into the shaft much easier. I pushed so hard without any vaseline and broke the silicon warps..... Do clean your unit really well before you install.
If you do not have the silicon warps, DO NOT WORRY, Per Crack's advice, "Take apart. Clean everything. Especially the shaft on the orion. Put switch in. Put rod orings on switch rod and push them into the shaft from the top. Do two of them. Then put the insulator and nut on. Tighten the nut down to push the insulator and orings into the shaft. This will prevent any juice from getting into the switch bay through the shaft." Instead of 2 rod orings, I did 6 of them; gotta make sure that no leaking will ever occur. Again, I do not suggest anyone to uninstall the Orion. If you feel the need to do so, please do it at your own risk.
Last but not least, all electronic will eventually fail but Orion is a solid device and it will last for a long time before it does. To have a peace of mind, just purchase a spare switch.

Got one on the way! Not that I have any issues with my current switch, But it's always nice to have a back up!
The maker of the orion disagrees with you:
" I do not give warranty for this reason, the switch is not protected and is used extremely, on the border of an electrical short circuit"
mine is the newest version from the latest run, no melted insulator, no leaks or juice on the switch. failed in 3 days... gonna order like 3 switches. If it gets to the point where I'm on my last switch I'm going to sell (unless i just get bored and sell to get other mods).
Wow, I've had my Orions for quite some time now and use them very regularly. I had the leaking into the switch issue, which I fixed by putting a bit of teflon tape on the threaded rod where the nut locks onto the nylon bushing. I cleaned the switch out so it worked again before re-assembly by running through an ultrasonic cleaner and letting it dry for a day. Since then no issues and no leaking.
How will you know if its leaking into the switch without taking it apart? Will it stop firing? Does juice come out from around the button? Or both?

first indication would be the switch not firing, or juice on the battery side that faces the switch.
