Quick bit of love for the Orchid V3

[auxsend]

I have been trying to find my RTA paradise for a while now. I usually just use drippers, but on the go, I like the convenience of having a tank.

I have messed with Kayfuns now for a while, and at first thought they were ok, but even with the airflow expanded, I felt like the draw was still very restricted.
So I ordered an Orchid V3 on a whim hoping it would be the best of both worlds. And wow.

I got home last night and built it to .5 ohms using two 28 gauge micro coils. Easy deck to build on, took no time at all.
I wicked it as other people had suggested, with the cotton just to the juice channels. I put it together, slapped it on my IPV2, put some liquid in it and prayed for the best.

Bam. Nice smooth draw, no restriciton, huge vapor, I'm in love. I really believe that the Orchid is the true Dripper's tank.
I've run it up to 40 watts already and had no dry hits or wicking issues with 70% VG juice. Amazing!

Ok. That's it. I'm just so excited about this thing.

Good for you! Isn't it awesome when you buy something and it actually works for you as well as, if not *better*, than you'd hoped?

I like the Orchid too. Happy for you to have had a positive 1st build on it, doesn't always work like that for many people.
It's my at work tank on an old Vamo so I run a single coil. I wick over/through the posts to the opposite juice channels and have avoided leaks and still get a nice airy draw.

Another confidence building post.
I Have a V3 and V4 on the way and am hoping for similar results.

Thanks for the report!

I absolutely love mine, the deck is a little bit small for my favorite builds, but going back to 28 gauge kanthal and just throwing on a 0.5 with ease and no complications whatsoever was refreshing. And the vapor/flavor is just about on par with my patriot and castle rda's. Only gripe I have about it is the solid piece chimney.

I'm +1 on the chimney. I always forget until I rebuild.

Totally. I had built it, and I sat there for a second, and I was in shock after the first draw.
I think I might have heard a chorus of angels singing.

I'm thinking about getting the v4, only because it has the bigger tank. This thing gets through juice quick. Maybe it's just me though, lol.

They (FT) are now selling the longer chimneys for the Orchid, so you can use a full-sized Kayfun tank with it. At least it gets some use out of your dust-collecting Kayfun parts...

I love my Orchid (V2) too, awesome. I am waiting for the rickshaw to arrive with a Big Dripper Clone to see how the two compare.

Glad to see a lot of love for the Orchid, it deserves to be in every vaper's arsenal.

Great tank that hasn't leaked on me yet, even when I lay it on the side. My KFL+ does all the time. Airflow is like using the middle afc holes on a Magma. Yeah, love the size but eats juice up fast.
