With a Gen atty, the airhole location is the most important factor when talking about vapor production. You can build up the neg post w/ M2 screws/nuts to get the coil closer to the airhole, or get a replica cap w/ the airhole lower.

Or wet sand your tank down a mm or two until you get your airhole lined back up with the wick. The shorter the tank the lower the cap screws down, thus lowering your airhole. This is what I did for my stock cap. i went from 21mm roughly to 19mm roughly. Lowering my airhole 2mm, which is quite significant.
However, even when my airhole was high I was still able to produce great vapor, with 28 kanthal.
Oh yeah, make sure your airhole is lined up with your wick

My Orion came with third o ring that i slapped on above the tank on the last threads of where the top cap goes. the air hole perfectly lines up with the wick...
Just have to make sure, since no one asked yet.
Then please see my previous post on page 344 at the bottom.
And if I may, what Turbo was getting as where the air hole is VERTICALLY on the wick. Right now, a stock orion, the airhole it very high on the wick, missing most of the coil. If you lower the cap by sanding the tank or if you build the negative post up with nuts then more of your coil will be in the flow of air from the hole.

Then I'd go to Ace or the like and get (2) M2 (2mm) nuts/bolts and raise the negative connection or sand the tank down. The M2 option is easy to do and is reversible. I've not done this as I'm happy w/ stock vapor, but if I wanted more this is what I'd do.

Look at the bottom of the page for the thread tags, you'll see 1 for a orion spare parts, it has the dimensions
Sent from my Samsung S III running on SS mesh and kanthal.

Got a shield cap from sotong today. Air hole lined perfectly with wick hole opposite of switch. This vapes a treat now!
It's actually closer to 2 ohms depending on the thickness of the wick.
With that said I still think 2ohm on a mech mod is still to high and I agree with you on the 28g. Don't know how you're managing 1.2ohm with a 6/7 wrap. Personally I like a 4/3 wrap which meters out at .8-1ohm. Until he gets 28g he could twist the 32g which comes out to about the same ohms/meter as 28g.
Yeah if ya wanna blow out the back of ur skull. Lol! Try twisting the 32g and doing 4 wraps. Take a length double what you normally use and double it over and put the 2 ends together. Clamp in the chuck of a drill and put a screwdriver in the loop. Start the drill while holding the screwdriver in place. Keep going till it's really tight. You can also do the same with a pair of needle nose pliers and a screwdriver, except spinning the screwdriver. This should give you a wire that's similar to 28g. World of difference. Trust me! Plus it's harder to pop a coil if you get a hot spot.

Awesome thanks for the great tip and instructions. I did a 3 wrap and wrapped the coils really tight and short at the top of the wick near the top washer. Vape is better than my previously evenly spaced coils with 4 wrap
Basically I think it does. They recessed the button switch in V2.1 and later he added a silicone sleeve, etc. Now there are more options w/ V3 on the way.
Lots! You can read more on his site: NoSmoker Orion®
Basically, V3 will be VV, have airflow control, etc. I think you can also get V2.1 w/ airflow control as well.
