Hi all
about the price for Orion
I am willing to give the old price (€ 160) with a new glass tank
But l guess everybody wants to have some spare tank
and also I can help here, along with the Orion mod will send two additional tanks
a total of three for the price of 170 €
I will not send tanks separately They must be packed in cardboard, along with the Orion
What do you think ?

O yeahh good stuff!!!!

 

[Turbo]

Maybe someone could kick 'ole Turbo a glass tank since he's not selling them separately?!

 

[BluSwatch]

Yeah ... LOL The great deal comes AFTER I get mine.

Just kidding ... that's cool of Les to do.

Hi everyone! I have been working on a spreadsheet of links that I originally started compiling to help me locate important posts that I may want to refer to later. In the process, I began talking with Lorderos33. Long story short, since I was combing through some of the threads for information, and Lorderos was needing to pull his "How-To's" and "Tips & Tricks" into some kind of organized location...well, I just put it all on one convenient spreadsheet!

The site is still "Under Construction" (so to speak). There are, no doubt, important posts that I haven't included yet or am not aware of. And, there are also posts that will eventually be deleted. Lorderos will be reviewing the sheet periodically to make comments, corrections and clarifications. But, for now, I asked him if I could allow you folks to view it and offer any feedback or suggestions you may have.

Please don't let it intimidate you. When you go to the site below.....you will see a button to the top right corner that says "1 other viewer" (or 2, 3, etc). If you click on that...a chat column will appear to right. You can chat with each other or with me. And if you want, I will even meet you there for a quick "tutorial". If you sign in with a Google (gmail) or Facebook account, your actual account name should show up, otherwise, you will be "anonymous".

I would be grateful for any suggestions, ideas or feedback. These posts are 99% from our good friend, Lorderos33. All I've done is put them into groups and make them accessible (we thank you Lorderos )

Let me know what you think folks! Here's the Link:

My attempt at dual wicks with twisted wire (36awg NiChrome). While the vapor was impressive, I couldn't get it to wick fast enough. I used 25w x 30h wicks. I'm going to try it again with 20w x 30h wicks, so I can see if I can speed up the liquid flow.

Looks good, I use 250 mesh on this kind of set-up, wicks like a champ. Try 250 mesh

I don't have 250, but I do have 325. I was using Halo which is normally fine with the 400 & wick size. I'm going to give it another go tonight. I'm thinking 4 wraps this time too.

 

[AlmightyGod]

Damn...killed the friggin thread.

 

[tierrataz]

Nice! AG

 

[muddstar]

Cool, you're killin, wreckin and reppin it. Awesome.

it was a very sad day but i ordered 2 new swihtches

Nice video Almighty! Do you mind posting some close up pics of your setup?

I'm really sorry to hear that you switch died on you BIGALI. Hopefully Pailpoe will send your new switches soon!

 

[AlmightyGod]

Thanks guys!

This is about the best I'm going to get with my phone camera.

I went with 4 wraps of the twisted 0.18 NiChrome. The wicks are 320 mesh at 20mm x 30mm.

Using Les' twisted coil method. 32 AWG (.20) kanthal, 5/4 wrap, 325 mesh, Backwoods Brew Ejoker 18mg. 1.0 ohm! A bit lower than my norm. Time to scout some other gauges.

FYI- this is a v1 with stock intake & mouthpiece. No drill touches my baby. ;-)

I have an orion setup with twisted coil with 3/4 wraps that I love for my tobacco based juices.

I want to setup my other orion to run cooler for some fruit flavor juice. How many wraps would be good? Anyone have 5 or 6 wraps on their orion?
