Are you having problems? Can we help you in any way?

No gennie expert here, but I have had great success with my orion's.

No, not necessarily. It was an impulse buy. I think I would be better off with something different..... (like an Ody or iAtty) I'm looking to sell it as soon as I can meet the post requirements.

I fold the edge of mesh about 1/8th inch ala Scubabatdan. Roll wick so folded edge is on the outside. Works great to keep those ends from sticking out causing shorts.

Yes, quite. I believe you saw my tip on UKVapers too. I do not do that anymore, instead I do as Nosmoker suggests. Roll the wick, after each heat and quench, during the oxidisiation process. Works even better I find and you finish with a more perfect OD on your wick. ;)
Still has six2arms done this? More to the point, if he hadn't oxidised correctly, he could quite possibly get shorts anywhere along the coil. Which would fall exactly into the description of the problem he described. That or the other two possibilties you mentioned.

Still get hotspots from time to time.. But it takes longer before I get it, maybe holding the button longer than 8-10 secs.. Hope it's part of the breaking process..

I got mine 30 min. ago:),done popped 4 coils the instant I hit the button:confused:.I know its gotta be something I'm getting wrong:facepalm:.It pops between the end of the top wrap and tall post(NEG.?)I'll wrap coils till I figure it out
The first thing I noticed is the size!even with a 18650,it's smaller than a 18490 provari.The 18350 has gotta be tiny!

I had pm'd him a week ago. He directed me to UK site. Once I logged in him a pm. Added myself to his list. So I don't know if me contacting him earlier had anything to do with it. He just asked shiny or matte n gave me his paypal info. Haven't recieved an invoice or shipping info yet but I did send him the money already

He would acknowledged receipt of payment first and PM you back.. Then he'll send tracking right away when he ships.. Atleast that's what happened on mine.. Took total of 7 days to Cali. Pretty impressive!
