Mine didn't come with spare tanks either.

Nor both of mine

 

[K-man]

If this is your first Orion, did you remember to put the battery in positive down? Is your wick touching the bottom of the tank? Is the top of the wick as close to the pole as possible without touching?

Is the wick supposed to be touching the bottom of the tank?

No,just off the bottom.

 

[Striker911]

Its okay to touch the bottom. Scott cuts it at an angle for a reason. If its oxidized its not an issue. On the other hand its not the best idea to create a potential problem area.

 

[Keegan1014]

OK, I made a new tank.
What do you think?

Best practice is just off the bottom. If it's well-oxidized it shouldn't be a problem but a lot of people still get shorts through the edges/frays, presumably because the oxidation can wear/flake off easier from the wire ends. Personally, I've never found it a problem to simply tilt a bit to get it to wick if the juice falls below the quarter of a millimeter gap bewteen the wick and the floor of the tank

I would think it would be fine since it's used in aquariums and food service--but from what I can tell it would be subject to the same caveats as polycarbonate. It's easier to scratch than polycarb, though...

I have tried all 3 of the popular hybrids and have come to realize the orion is the best of the best .
