Mine arrived today and after a few hours of fiddling I got it working, not a lot of vapor yet compared to my Ody but it should improve as the wick breaks in 
No but they have some glass or pyrex ones over at UK - there is a list.
VP there should be lots of vapor... in my experience anyway. Are you using the wick and wire or mesh?
I'm using #325 SS Mesh and 4 wraps of 32 awg A1 Kanthal with 60/40 Bounty Hunter
Edit: The vapor production has improved on the 2nd tank as the wick breaks in, still not huge but getting better

K. Good to hear it's working for you 
. I'm using the 325 mesh w/ all vg GJ and it works good - was a bit of a pain to roll the 325 mesh though - the 400 was much more user friendly IMHO. I've used the 400 w/ PG-VG was good too.

Yeah, the 325 seemed more springy and took a bit to get rolled small enough for the hole, where the 400 is easy.
Just wanted to share a little gennie luv. Somewhere in my research, I read how to clean the wick & coil. Dry burning was not a practice I employed w/$9 attys. I had upped the VG in my juice to ease the TH and my coil had gunked up pretty quick. Vaped the tank almost dry, tilted, and dry burned half expecting a pop.
Happy to report it did fine and now performance is back on par. Lord how I luv not being a slave to China anymore!

Thanks for the info Tierra! +1 on sick of buying attys. The only ones that I really fell in love with are like $20 a pop. They last a while but it's still nice to not have to worry about shipping times, ship costs, being without an atty. I also think that I get a lot of vapor from this - seriously amazing vapor w/ great th. I ordered my juice a bit lower as it was a bit too much at 24 mg. (Not stopping me from vaping but - wow!)
Ok with all the issues some have had, I just had to do it. Built the second gennie of my life. This is freaking rocking!
Here is what I did using 325 x 325 this time:
Fold over 1/8th inch and start to roll. Keep finger rolling till it fits with plenty of room in hole. Followed Zens' advise. No water quenching oxidation. Juice only. I didn't even use a torch because I had a blonde moment. Made it nice & dark the whole length. Using juice really helps the flavor come through quicker. Cut bottom of wick on angle. Put paper clip through so I could get the wick down as far as possible w/o touching the base. Wrapped slowly, evenly. Very little adjustment needed this time.
I had one hot spot at the top, quick adjustment, pulling the wick from the top post. It's golden and a fog machine!!!

I just received my orion v2. Im currently waiting on my ss mesh to come in the mail. I can not get the silica to wick for nothing. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Hi tierrataz! Thanks again for sharing the bounty
From Les????
Try searching for nosmoker on U tube. I know he put out a vid.
One of his tricks was twisting two lengths of kanthal to make the coil.
Congratz Marco. Hope to see some of that tuning on the V2.Hi tierrataz! Thanks again for sharing the bounty
