Orchid V4 split chimney hack

[VapingBad]

I got some Orchid V6 two piece chimneys from FT for £1.50, but the diameter of the top of the chimney is a little too big to fit the V4.   I replaced the top o'ring with a thinner one and sanded down the very top of the chimney until it was a snug fit and the whole thing screwed together with no gaps. It works well, doesn't leak and is easier to wick IMO.  I used 8x6x1 mm o'rings which were a bit too big and think 7x5x1 would be better, that's outer diameter, inner diameter and thickness.  I wish the chamber was a lot shorter and may reduce the volume with some Sugru at some point.

Hack to raise air inlets link

I have raised the air inlets to get the coil higher so I can have slightly longer wicks and to reduce leakling, which I didn't get anyway. Two bits of Heineken can 6.6 mm wide rolled into tubes, stuffed into the holes and cut to length.
