This afternoon I checked my fasttech orders and discovered that my Orchid V2 had been delivered. I cut out of work immediately (just kidding... maybe...) and ran home to try it out. The wife was out for the evening so I sat down with my tools and put together the Orchid after giving it a thorough bath. Two coils each at 1.8 = .9 ohms, just about right as far as I had been reading on the matter. I wicked it up with some rayon, test fired it, then put it together and top filled it. No issues with leaking or anything. I screwed it onto a DNA 30 device and cranked it up to about 16 watts. Too much lower and the coils don't want to heat up quickly. Woah... Tasty, but the draw is waaaaay less restricted then I had imagined. No bother, let's see what this thing can do. I turn it up to 20 watts so the coils heat up almost instantly. WOAH. Easy boy. Two or three toots and the whole room was spinning. I felt like it was the first time I inhaled a cigarette. This thing put me on my ..... A little background, I rarely if ever build anything with dual coils, and prefer a restricted Kayfunesq draw. The Orchid is none of this. It is in your face. And the vapor! Mountains of vapor! Good Lord I don't want to like it but I do!
The moral of the story is if you like a tight draw the Orchid V2 probably isn't for you. Now mind you that's a relative thing. For you lung inhalers the Orchid is probably a little tight, however it's nothing like a Kayfun. That being said after turning my throat into a desert with the Orchid I rebuilt a KFL with a nano glass kit and got myself a bottle of water. Pics or it didn't happen.
