I didn't meter it. Used like 4.5 single coils (wraps whatever you call it) and 1 wick. It's good but the th blows me away. No glowing so I dont think that I have any shorts but is a powerful little thing. Will see if it breaks in a bit smoother by tomorrow.
Yeah, I've heard the throat hit can be a bit reckless during the initial break in of a new wick lol.
Understand! Takes a few tanks to season. You can use plain vg or pg if you've got that. From what I have learned, gennies do have more th. I made some juice with higher vg and am doing much better. Running 75% on 400 mesh and it wicks great. That first hit I took on my reg. juice choked the heck outta me. 
Hope that helps.

I've only got the 400 mesh but may try topping my tank off with my vg juice. I like it but takes a minute to adjust. I did find that there is a bit of juice that sputters from the 2nd hole. Do you cover yours w/ anything?
Ok. Have my air hole in line (or somewhat closer to) my wick. Helped tremendously w/ the roughness of the vape. This was the problem.
Yes, critical detail. I modded my tank yesterday so it lines up every time w/o o-ring.
Tip (from others) wipe out your cap 1-2 times each tankfull. The juice up in there is much darker and will give a bad taste. Also if you continue to pull after you stop firing, you might be surprised how much vapor is still in there. Like good manufactured attys, ours will continue to sizzle for a second or two.

How many wraps to you use with yours? Just curious. Was thinking of tinkering w/ the configuration to find my sweet spot.
Six wraps A-1 32 AW kanthal. It metered 2.2 ohm on build but now 2.4 ohm. Probably due to bumping it removing the tank. Isn't it nice to know you can build any resistance your heart desires?
I think I should try the 325 mesh next build. Not in any hurry though. The 400 is wicking perfectly and honestly, I am worried my first build was begginers luck!
Not a single hot spot, no fiddling.

I've torn it down and rebuilt it like 10 times already - just cause I can afford to do it. For the small amount of mesh that you need you can tinker to your hearts content and not worry about running out. Btw this and my little Ody drip don't think I'll buy non repairable atties again.
I agree! I have a Vmod with a years worth of attys. Each time I try it after the Orion, it's just meh.
I was thinking of selling my original Orion, but now I think I should mod it to suit me. Les has created a beautiful and functional device. I think it's the best looking hybrid on the market so far.

Now with the extra tube too. It's awesome. I'm still a GG at heart but this has caught my attention. I'm such a sucker for mechanical shiny toys. Are you ordering the glass tanks from over at UK?
2 sold last night in the classies. I liked the modded one but don't think I'd wanna fool w/ a drip tip on my orion. Def. need some replacement tanks though. Insurance in case I screw up and break this one.
