Don't you hate it when you try and show a noob how easy something is and the damn thing won't cooperate? ;) :lol:

Yes I do, never fails, but it was fun hanging out, vaping, having a few brews, and playing a little music, all in the comfort of A/C.

He really isn't a noob... well a little bit to genisis, but I prefer the term FNG (coming from my Navy days) :lol:

So odd that les sends 36 with the orion. 32 is the industry standard as far as genis go, though 30g is also excellent if you're going for more vp and th.

That's because Les' personal method is to twist/braid two lengths into a double-stranded wire to wrap the coil...

A friend got his OrionV2.1 Friday and brought it over yesterday and we went to town setting it up. We were having a heck of a time with shorts at the top coil, but eventually got it cranking. We used the wire provided when I got tired of wasting my kanthal :) and ended up doing a double braided coil and a 4/5 wrap. It was kicking it out then, with no wicking issues at all. Makes me think there is something to braiding the wire that works well and may try it on my next coil, if I ever make another :lol:

I've never heard of a braided coil. WHere might I find more info on the topic? Earlier in this thread? Thanks in advance. :thumbs:

I dont have the link anymore, but there was alot of info last July and August in Iatty thread using braided coils. I did that myself since there was such a small space to work with. Example - 2 lengths of 3 ohm wire twisted together = 1.5 ohm That was using AWG 36 G

Makes sense! I've only been around March- no wonder I missed it. :lol: I appreciate it. Thanks!

This is a link to a thread from last year. Been revisiting.
Nosmoker - Best MOD for sale - Mod Maker Sales - UK Vapers - Page 20

There is a ton of info on UKV in his best mod thread & DIY & modifications. Warning... Lots of reading there. I've not had luck with the search engine there. It's worth it if you want to know this device inside & out though.

You can also search you tube.

Les runs 3. Depends on preference.

Wow, that's gotta be a pretty hot vape, especially considering how small the airhole is on the stock cap. I'm guessing that meters out to around 0.9-1.3Ω depending on how tightly he winds the strands of 34g together.

Luck would have it I was close to this page. Pics and everything for a twisted coil on Orion. Mind you this was the original with much smaller inlet & mouthpiece. He says 4 here, but in a post in the past couple of months he mentioned 3 coils.
