If you haven't tried an Orchid and like to lung inhale these are a fantastic buy at less than £7 a pop.

A really airy draw but masses of taste and vapour.

These are dual cool atties but have four terminals and really easy to coil.

They're also really well made, just popped any four in the basket 

Have to agree, when I got mine within an hour of my first build I was back on FT to order another one, (as I also did with the Rose) hell at less than £7 its a steal and the quality and machining is top notch. Have to say though that I do prefer the Rose even at twice the price.

I agree that this atty is a bargain.

It is great quality for the money.

But, it definitely wasn't for me. It has great flavour and great vapour, it's a kayfun, with a plume veil deck, 4 juice channels and more airflow.

The biggest problem it suffers is the same as the kayfun's biggest weakness, if you don't like the airflow there is only so much you can do.

I like mouth to lungs on a tightish draw so this wasn't for me but I can see why this atty is a good fit for a lot of people.

If you like kayfun's but wish it had more airflow then this is for you

Same view Tom. I blocked one airhole and single coiled it. Ended up with a more compact, but airy kayfun. Now waiting for the origen genesis, the search will never end.

If they made a V5 with the air holes on the deck lifted and adjustable air holes from shut to fully open it would be a RBA for all. Single or duel coil with airy to tight draw.

I too am finding it a bit airy, got another on order and might see if I can get a friend to tap out the air holes.

I have the small Orchid. You all know me, small minded and all that.

It's cracking. I was just enjoying some Speculoos e-liquid in it this morning.

Just remember to tighten it all up if you disassemble it for OCD cleaning.

You can reduce the air flow by fitting a narrower drip tip or putting a bit of rolled up ss mesh in each air intakes.

It can be a pain to fill using the bottom fill hole, much easier to whip the top cap off whilst blocking the two air holes with your fingers. Then refit the top cap on a thread or two, flip and tighten down ala Kayfun style

I love the airy draw now and I think you become accustomed to it with use, if you already have one and it's too airy try a smaller bore drip tip.

I don't think there's any need to add anything internally to airholes to prevent leakage, if it's wicked correctly it won't leak

Had mine now for about a fortnight and the best thing since sliced bread. Looks great on the Nemesis too.

I had a problem on my first build with it leaking but solved it by getting the celucotton tails just over the lip and a little into the grooves. And I don't mind removing it to refill from the bottom hole. Ooh Err, Missus

For everyone purchasing Orchid V3, V3.5, V4 - get a set of KF tanks with it.

Much better wicking 'cos with the stock tank there's not alot of space between tank and chamber/chimney wall.
For heavy VG juices a must have....

1st build:
26 AWG dia 3 mm 10 wraps - 0,6 Ohm - nice and smooth vape - some leaking tendencies


2nd build:

My 3rd Orchid is on the way
