I just took a Bic ink pen and used a tiny screw driver and put a hole on both sides and loop the wire in and hold the other end of the wire with a small pair of pliers and twist the pen, works just as good as the drill and much easier

Is anybody using the twisted wire method with a18350? If so does your battery get hot? Is it safe to do with a 18350 aw imr

I just tried the twisted method with stock wire 3 wraps and all I can say is holy f#@$king vapor wow. I usually use 18350 mode but have it In 18650 now and wanted to see if anyone used this method with a 18350?

Cool thanks for the info. The orion was already my favorite pv of all time and this just stepped it up even more.

Definitely going to have to try a twisted coil on my next rebuild. It looks great.
What does the twisting do to the resistance? I am sure a tight twist would be different than a looser one ....
tried twisted coil in three wraps. plumes of vapor and way too hot for me. also conked out my aw imr 18350 fast just like an ego on a ULR rebuildable atty.
1) 30mm wide. I slightly pinch the top; don't know that it's necessary but I don't overwick..
2) Twisted coils offer lower resistance giving more warmth/vapor by the looks of it. I'd use a thin gauge like the one Les included.
3) I use a 4/3 wrap like 'emonty' of 32g kanthal. If you like the heat from a 5 wrap I'd stick w/ it. Now if you use the twisted coil w/ a 4/3 wrap of 32g kanthal, it'll be roughly 1-1.3ohms. That's why I'm going to use the wire Les gave us. That's a little too low resistance for me. Don't want the batts to overheat.
I twisted some of the wire tonight so it'll be ready when I need to make a new coil
Running a twisted coil is AMAZING!!! 
. Right now I have a 3 wrap with 32g kanthal on my Orion v2.1 and the vapor production is RIDICULOUS!!! Only downfall I have now...is that I find myself refilling the tank more than usual!!! But I can deal with it!!!

Hi Ob,
picture for you, it looks like the top part of the wick and coil is touching the center-post, but that is the angle of the picture, I have been using this setup for almost a month now and it works like a charm.
I might go and visit Less one of these days, he lives pretty close from me and a trip would be well worth it, to meet the man himself and get some tips and tricks first hand ;-)
Terry's glass tanks are absolutely perfect. I just noticed that the one I got actually lines up perfect with the air hole and the second tank I got lines up perfect with the airhole but then when you have it setup with the other wick hole. So basically two options for the two wick hole configurations.
I did find though that the top of the glass tank is a tiny bit below the top part of the top o-ring which causes it to leach liquid through, a very small amount but resolved it by using a different oring, a tiny bit thicker one and now it is totally not leaking anymore, the tank is perfectly snug and lined up with the airhole and no leaking at all.

I twisted two 32awg wires for a 3 wrap last night on my V1.1a....that is some hardcore stuff!
Exactly what size o-ring do you use w/ the glass tanks? I'll be getting some on the the next batch and would like to know.
thanks emonty.
question for the experts. I am getting muted flavor with one of mine and have checked all the usual things. I am not sure how to proceed.
I read that some of you have had problems with the screw above the spring not being tightened enough. How far do you tighten this down?
any other hints would be appreciated.
btw, the switch on that one seems to be firing intermittently as well now.

I had ordered 100 assorted sizes o/rings and found them in the bag. They are a little smaller then the original one´s, but a little fatter, that way they are sealing the tank better
