Orion V2 roll call

[tierrataz]

Jolly Rogers is the one to ask about fixing the leak. He's a pro. ;-)

The UKV list was copied to vape pit. From my convoy with Les, I don't think listees have anything to worry about once the switches arrive late Aug. He has a few hundred coming.

Sux about UKV. There was a treasure trove of tips/tricks/mods for the orion's. I can only hope that those sections might be available as read only for a week or so.

I may be wrong, but I believe she meant The Mesh Company: Online Shop for Woven, Knitted and Perforated Mesh for Art, Craft, Floristry, Modelling and Engineering

Decided to wrap a new coil....went off without a hitch.

However on my first step, removing the battery, I noticed the end closest the switch had juice on it, I took the center tube off and wipe it down and wiped best I could toward the switch end, removed more juice.

Is this normal, is there a fix, is it just part of owning an Orion to have to completely disassemble from time to time to clean out juice that seeps into the body?

Thanks

I had a similar problem with my 1st 2.1. I ended up putting a 2x1mm o-ring (from my GGTS firing pin) around the center post under the nylon insulator. So far so good. Les said that he was fixing it in some of the later 2.1s and haven't had the problem on my 2nd 2.1, but haven't had the need/courage to take it apart to tell the differences.

No, it is not normal. Liquid getting down into the switch will have a detrimental effect on switch performance and if the liquid gets into the micro switch, possible failure. Ask me how I know

Les/Nosmoker now includes extra heat shrink and an o-ring I believe when he ships, in case users experience this problem... Anyways, I added a second o-ring (along with a little silicon) and followed Pailpoe's video for assembly to seal it better. It is in french, but easily understood. Taking the switch PV apart to remove the switch is also very easy. On assembly, DO NOT over tighten the lower M2 nut. I have had no problems with it since, and have checked for liquid getting into the switch by visual checks daily.

My friend got a new one (it didn't come with extra o-ring/heat shrink) and we verified switch worked with a Xmeter, took it apart and sealed it straight off with a second o-ring. Also, added a spot of glue to micro switch so SS button doesn't rattle (I use the glue from glue gun - which easily separates from the button for removal). BTW the epoxy sealer on his brand new switch was cracked/broken , the switch worked fine though and we re-glued it with some gorilla glue as a fix. He has been enjoying his for a week now and apparently loves his Orion

Hey all .... does anyone know where Terry's Orion/Katana tank list ended up?
He said he was going to VapePit or VaporWall, but I can't for the life of me find it.

He told me the same thing and I have searched each day since he PM'd me that, searching all his posts, and have come up empty too. Hopefully he gets one started again soon.

Thanks crypto ... dang, and I was #3 on the list. LOL

I just don't want him to think I am no longer interested.

Posted Today, 05:26 PM

It is against ECF rules to post a link to other fora. It will be back at its proper address well before Les gets near the end of the current list...

List starts at 358 and you're 412, so that would be the batch he'll be starting on when he gets back from vacation. I'm sure the Pit will have the problems with their former hosting company sussed out and be back at their correct address by the time payment notifications are to be sent...
