Le corps est intégralement réalisé en acier inoxydable d'une épaisseur relativement importante, qui lui confère un poids certain mais agréable. Ce mod ne prend pas beaucoup de place, mais il est dense.
L'alimentation électrique est confiée à un accumulateur de format 16340 (16mm de diamètre, 34mm de longueur, 0 indiquant la forme cylindrique) délivrant un courant de 3,7 V.
The Orion is one of the few existing "all in one" mods. It includes not only the tube in which the battery is placed, but also the atomizer and the tank. The advantage of this "all in one" design, is that it’s very compact and robust. "Full mechanical", it does not have an electronic likely to fail.
The body is entirely made of a relatively thick stainless steel, which gives it a certain but pleasant weight. This mod does not take much space, but it’s dense.
The power supply is assigned to an accumulator 16 340 format (16mm diameter, 34mm in length, with 0 indicating the cylindrical shape) delivering a current of 3.7 V.
Il a été conçu par Leslaw "Nosmoker" comme étant une base facilement modifiable, même s'il est opérationnel dès réception. Un mod a modifier en quelque sorte. C'est d'ailleurs en exploitant cette spécificité que l'Orion peut donner toute sa mesure et qu'il devient encore plus performant.
The Orion was designed by Leslaw "Nosmoker" as a base to be modifed. Even if it is fully operational upon receipt. A mod to modify in a way. It’s by exploiting this unique specificity that the Orion can deliver its full potential and becomes even better, adjusted to your own desires. This was particularly true for the v1.0 with a switch that needed to be modified to operate smoothly. Now, that the Orion v1.1a (mechanical switch) fixed this point. Now, all the modification are more or less a question of personnal taste.

La chauffe du liquide est, de manière classique, confiée à un fil résistif. Celui-ci dégage de la chaleur qui vaporise le liquide, quand un courant électrique le traverse.
Il est communément admis que le fil résistif le plus adapté à notre usage est le Kanthal D. Plus la section de ce fil est importante plus la résistance (exprimée en Ohm/mètre) est importante. L'expression du diamètre du fil utilise la norme AWG <--> voir le tableau de correspondance
Le meilleur compromis est un fil Kanthal D AWG 32.
This mod is provided with a rebuildable atomizer. Like this you can build it fitting your taste, again and again. No more ato/clearo/carto to throw away. Almost for free, you can build yourself a new atomizer when you feel that you need it. The liquid is vaporized by a resistive wire that gets hots when an electrical current passes through it. It is commonly accepted that the most suitable for our use is the Kanthal D wire. The diameter of this wire is expressed using the AWG system. The best compromise is the Kanthal D AWG 32.
Exemple :
AWG 30 = 27,8Ω/m
AWG 32 = 43,8Ω/m
AWG 34 = 66,9Ω/m
Une faible valeur de résistance donnera un fil chauffant vite, produisant de la vapeur en abondance, et procurant un hit important. Néanmoins, cela se fait au détriment de la saveur ainsi que de l'autonomie de l'accumulateur.
The longer the wire is the higher the resistance will be. A low resistance coil will heat faster, produce more vapour and hit. But to the detriment of the flavour rendering. Everyone has is own balance between hit/vapour production and flavour. Using a lower resistance also takes more energy to the battery that will be empty sooner.
