Orion V2.1

[captainpugwash]

I managed to bag one of these from Vapist, ordered yesterday at 2ish arrived this morning at 11ish, fantastic service .
Who's got one ? Any tips ?
I've been reading these can leak into the switch but i'm unsure if thats now been rectified ? it comes with 5 o rings one smaller that i believe is for the top cap to align the air hole , presuming 2 for the tank and 2 spares ?
I have watched a few reviews but cant find any info on the o rings or the leak potential in them, any advise on this Mod would be much appreciated, its my first hybrid and i want to look after it, if it vapes like it looks i will be well happy

Can't help personally Captain, I should think you've seen Scott's review on it.

[captainpugwash]

Yes and i've just watched it again now i have the Orion in my hand and there are some slight differences , the mouthpiece is not flat on mine and the switch is recessed , the one Scott has seems to stick out slightly, not sure how old that review is and theres no mention of leaks either

Very nice

Have you checked back wth Vapist, Captain . . . he'd probably be able to advise you.

the only problem i found with the v2.1 is you need to make sure the juice/condensation from the atty chamber cant seep down the center post and onto the switch

best to keep an eye on it when you change batteries to be sure the switch is free of juice

great devices other than that and work and look mint

Scotts was a V2, you have a V2.1

The latest batch "should" have a silicon sleeve over the centre post, not that you will be able to see it but it should be there to protect the switch from any leaks.

Even if the switch does go belly up, only about £12 for a new one and a ten min job to change.

Cheers Gordy, all good to go then, i'll set her up tomorrow and see what happens

[Gordy]

i use 20x30 mesh and a 1.5ohm kanthal coil
make sure the air hole lines up and you should love it mate

Thats why you are a great reviewer Todd, i didn't notice the Glaring Orion V2 title on the review :-[
Thanks for that , i take it from your review you weren't that taken with it so it would be pointless offering it as a swap for that ihybrid you've got

How many wraps is that gordy ? .2 Kanthal ?

[Gordy]

that will depend on the resistance of your wire and the diameter of the wick you make
should be 4 to 5 wraps... do 5 and see what you think... you can always remove a wrap easily enough

Cheers Gordy, are you using the o ring on the top cap to line up the air hole ?

[Gordy]

[captainpugwash]
