tierrataz, thanks for the info! I have been REALLY blasting the wicks before use. I mean I torch and quench it four to six times, then put juice and burn maybe 4-5 times. It's NOT gunky or anything when I pop it into the orion, but it is black. Maybe the juice I am using is not so good. I just ordered sample pack from Alice in Vapeland. Cerver7, while I am brand new to genesis hybrids, I can certainly tell you that the draw is perfect for me on the stock Orion. I do "mouth inhales," where I pull the amount of vapor into my mouth, release the button on device when I've got the desired amount, then pull the vapor into my lungs. I don't know if you vape a different way, but I don't see how any modification aside from the aforementioned wick variations could make this device any "better." Congrats on scoring one of these, I have had mine only a few weeks, but it has taken a lot of patience to learn how to properly set it up. I think that even if you have watched ALL of the Genesis setup videos in the world, it still requires trial and error to get it sorted. I have not yet perfected the wick part of the deal, but I'm working on it. I have experimented with several different setups just for fun, and I did one earlier that was worth mentioning. I had a wick installed with a 3-4 wrap, then I loosened the bottom screw, snugged a new piece of the same gauge wire under it, tightened the screw, wrapped a SECOND set of coils (3-4 wrap again) going up the same wick, then attached the top of the wire to the spring post/washer/nut. It vaped really well, but it had just a bit too much throat hit for me.
) things about the Orion; that you have so many options to experiment with wicks and coils. I tried using some silica wick but it seemed as though it could not wick juice up to the coils fast enough to chain vape or take long pulls without quickly scorching the wick.
