Ok boys and girls! I actually found one on wicking that is working fine for me now, got got playing last night with both Orchids, I had some rank old juice and didn't mind wasting it, I tried tucking it under, having some down the juice channels, I think I did about eight different wicking ways, some were Ok ish, some the juice just peeded out, then I tried this guys wicking  I've now been running both Orchid V6's with 50/50 juice for around ten hours and not a sign of any leaks, both Orchids gurgled a bit at first but after around ten toots it went, even when I laid one down the amount of leaking wasn't worth worrying about, now I don't know if it's my imagination but I don't seem to be using as much juice with this build, but I'm not sure if it's because I was loosing a lot from leaking with the other wicking methods, it's a bit of faffing to do but it's definatly working for me,

I forgot to mention! the wicking part is around 21 minutes in,,

Thats nothing! you need to see Jude with her M&M's, all sorted into colours and there has to be the same amount in each pile, God help me if I nick one from a pile while she's not looking, mind you if she winds me up I have been know to drop a chocolate one in her Yellow pile, no she won't just take the brown one out! she starts all over again just in case there's not the same amount in each pile,, Ohh! I forgot she even eats them a certain colour at a time in the same order every time, can't remember the order but I know it has to be the Orange ones last,,

I voted no on the basis that most Chinesse stuff is just a clone of the original, but in a lot of cases the clone is as least as good, sometimes better and usually half the price, the problem is that makers like Kayfun, put a lot of money into developing stuff then send all the tooling to China where they use that same tooling to make clones and thats what allows us to buy the same clone goods at half the price,,

Peps! I've been going up in stages from my Evod glasses, to Iclear 30's then Protanks and on each upgrade the best I've said was it's OK, but these Orhids are a whole different ball game and knock spots off anything I've tried so far including friends kit, for the first time I'm getting great flavour on the inhale and exhale, a more advanced vapor might say they are crap but as a basic vapor I can't fault them, it's hard when your on a budget as everyone has their own favorites, but I think I might be buying more Orchids as they bring out new ones, and it seems leaking dosn't just happen with Orchids,

Greg your right! they only said it works OK with one coil, I don't think any actuall showed it,  as I have plenty of spares I'll run it on one for a while and see how it goes, though I do take the point why have something that runs two coils and only use one, but I will be going over to two coils, Promise,

Got my two Ochid V6's today, first dibble into RTA's, and have to say I love the things, great taste and more than enough cloud for me, can't say I like the chunky drip tip but I tried a few others and they just don't look right, but I need advice on coiling/wicking! I did manage it after tightening the wire a bit too tight and and cutting the legs off two coils but I got there, I found a couple of good vids on leak free wicks after reading they are a bit prone to leaks, they all say tuck the wick under leaving the airholes clear, but they are all for duel coils, here's the problem I'm using pre-made wires at 1.25ohms and only want to run one coil, when I wick it! do I do it the same method as twin coil or is it wicked differently for single coil, I shut off the air flow on the side without a coil, gave it a toot and even a lung hit at 8.5w and 1.25ohm coil  I got a big head rush, but noticed juice leaking out the airhole, the odd thing is now I'm down to just over 3/4 of a tank it seems to have stopped, could it be I overfilled the tank?? as it's stopped, my first go at wicking something like this so I know my wicking could be suspect it just seems odd it's stopped now it's not so full of juice,, most of the stuff I've watched has been for the Billow which is pretty much the same as the Orchid, one thing I do know is the Orchid RTA is a whole different experiance to my Protanks and Iclears If I'd had known I could have saved myself a whole heap of cash, now they all live in my spares box, I have everyone here to thank for advising me to go the RTA route, I guess like everything else Vaping is a whole learning curve,,

Rip! I know I will have a go, I won't be able to resist it, you should have seen me take apart an I clear 30s coil after someone said it can't be done, it can but I wouldn't fancy trying to re-coil it,

Peps! the trouble is at times there's just too much info on stuff, I end up confuzzled! with the V6 having the raised airways they are saying tuck the wick under and add a small bit of wick between the post, and it won't leak, luckily for me there's more stuff being added to Youtube about the Orchid V6, I just need a slow mo button so I can watch it and build at the same time,,
