    Somewhere between here and there
    I almost bought an Ethos kit a little bit ago. With the conversion rate it would have come out to $75 plus shipping. I got to thinking that I really haven’t been using my boro stuff lately so why buy another one.

    Bought myself a LVE orion II pod mod after reading this review. She seems to only vape pod devices and certainly knows a lot about all the different pod devices. We had a nice chat via PM's about the Orion II. She said I should get the Vaporesso GTX coils for it (I did).

    I've been using it for 4 days. The Orion II is built very solidly. It has excellent flavor with the GTX coil and I can vape it MTL or RDL. I have had zero leaks and no condensation under the pod. That was my main concern about pod mods. It came with a spare pod, DT and USB-C cable for charging. Been using the drip tip that it came with but it also takes other 510 DTs. It holds 4.5mls of juice.

    After 4 days I honestly cannot think of anything negative to say about the Orion II. I would totally purchase another one.

    Never thought I would ever buy a pod mod, but ummm yeah, I did. LOL. It is a very nice device for out and about trips or for when I just want to vape something smaller in size.

    I am very impressed with this little pod mod. :thumbs:

    Been eyeing this one for a while. How tight does the MTL go? I vape at the 1mm-1.2mm range.

    The Orion II can get down to a proper 0.8mm MTL, or tighter, by rotating the AF ring. 1mm to 1,2mm, no problem.

    I bought mine at Sourcemore. The current price is $32.76 once logged in. The Vaporesso GTX coils are $7.35 (5 coils p/pack). Just select the GTX coils that fit in the wattage range you vape at.

    Don't be fainting all over again!!!

    LOLz, yours truly who once said "I don't think I'll ever own a pod mod" and "I'm not interested in pods" among other things :greengrin:.......... finally bought one.

    And thanks, that's good to know about the GTX coils. This little pod is way cool. And no :censored:ing leaks, none nadda. Laid it on it's side all night, every night since Monday and nuttin'.

    Now, shhhhhhh........ don't tell anyone but I'll probably end up buying a backup. :lol: :lol:

    Hi,Ange. How much juice can you put through a GTX coil?

    I'm sorry, I've never counted the tanks that way. @bigbob2322 or Hitt may be more accurate. But in my swag px80 which I'd go through a tank every 1-2 days, it would take 2 or so months before I'd replace a coil.

    I'm now using two in bridge tanks in my pulses. And it's the same scenario. A tank every 2 days and I haven't replaced a coil yet. My oldest coil has been in action since May 7th.

    Thanks good enough for me. I have them but have never paid attention as to how long they last.

    With so many review samples always coming in for testing it's hard to stay solely on one device but like you @AngeNZ it seems like they last for quite a few months.

    Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

    not much vape related i do is buried deep in indoor house paint. Photo will come the day I finish painting the corner cabinet.

    Tools, there will be two packages on Monday.

    Good news, the tractor diesel pump can be overhauled locally, replacing the sealing rings will cost $600, much cheaper than I feared. The plan is to get it out today or tomorrow, and then correctly...

    Morning @Tor R .
    Any chance you could post a photo of the tractor or any scenes from the farm?
    This is such an interesting thread- from the far south to the far north of the planet.
