When I first got the source orb 3 I was impressed and giddy I had an awesome new toy finally (I thought) we have updated atomizers and the technology has finally come around ( I owned the first pens when they came out and they sucked like the atmos raw, original g pen they really sucked but it was cool cuz it was new and I knew just like any technology eventually they are gonna get this right and I THOUGHT thats what happened when I received my Source Orb 3.

Well it worked great for the first couple days, they claim that it will hold half a gram there is no way in sam hell that you can put a half a gram in this thing, you put .1 in there and its so much that it bubbles and overflows over the edges of the atmoizer thats why it has that dildo like egg shape theres a little catch where the oil bubbles over into that you gotta clean out (wasted product) the pen will not work unless the battery you are using on it has a FULL charge if you try to vape without a FULL charge your bho will bubble up and form a dome as you see in the pics and then your heating element is too far away from the concentrate to burn it and you can literally burn out the entire battery hitting it cycle after cycle and it dont have the power to get that dome melted and atomized its quite frustrating more than anything this pen. Speaking of the charger as you will see in the pics it has a design flaw where if the cord was JUST AN INCH longer it would keep it from pulling the thing outta the socket partially exposing the prongs (fire hazard) so I had to get out an extension cord just to plug the thing in so I could have it sitting on the ground where the battery wasnt pulling down on the plug.

It does give a good flavor hit but what for a week then its onto the problems? the threaded part on top of the battery that screws onto your various attachments is not sealed onto the actual tube the battery is in so as you can see in the pics the threads came off the battery exposing the wires this happened three or four times till the wires actually broke, I even bought a higher capacity aftermarket battery and still wont work unless FULLY charged. lets see what else the latest development that made me contact them is the charger stopped working, even with clean terminals the charger light just stays green so now its completley inoperable after spending $150 extremely frustrating and aggravating so I contacted them and they said oh yeah just send us pics and we will get you a replacement, so I take the time outta my busy day to take pics of this stupid fcking thing and send them to them and THEN this is what they say (after they got what they wanted from me)

it does look overloaded... I havent used the source orb specifically but it looks like your standard little cheap 510 battery and atomizer, similar to the one in my dabbler. Whoever told you the half gram story had to be FOS, that is the only drawback to these little pens, the fact that you have to load tiny amounts at a time. I would try to get what I could out of there with a toothpick, taking care not to mess with what is on the actual wick down there. Just because I am stubborn, I would try to hit it again then, most likely making another mess. The thing to do is to give the atomizer an overnight upside down soak in enough everclear\iso to immerse the wick, then a gentle scrub with qtip/toothpick, which should have you close to good as new. When they get overloaded, these little things clog up something fierce, which can be frustrating as hell. The charger looks like a standard USB deal, have you tried another cord or wall plug?

source vapor has real bad customer serviece!!! i have spent over $500 on items from them in multiple orders , and this last order, (3 quarts coil-less atomizers for $55, YES for 3 only ) well when i recieved the 3 pack, one strait out box was causing my battery to shut down and it would display messages on battery prior to shut down , i sent Source Orb a message in detail giving them the reading from battery and all details , then i recieved a message saying wait someone will reply within, 48 hours , so i wait 2 days then message again , still nothing, no reply even till now , but in meantime they send me a spam email saying save $10 next purchase for reviewing their product . so i go leave a honest review , nothing bad i liked them for the most part , but i did be honest of my problem , , now im completley blocked from thier website , haha what a joke i would never give my money to them again anyway . just watch out if you have problems ever!!!, even if bought direct from website !!! peace
