I also switched from the AL85 to the Orion DNA .25 pod, after reading other posts I found a few things.
1st - after you fill the pod straighten out a paper clip, insert it into the fill port, and spread out and poke the cotton, still don’t get the airflow like the AL85 but definitely better then stock.
2nd - Go to the LostVape website https://lostvape.com/upgrade-software/ and follow the instructions on installing eScribe Software and upgrade firmware to Orion Plus.
I have been experimenting with different settings from others that have posted, the attached pics will show you what I currently have going. I have found that power of 10 boost of 3 and warmth of 3 seems to give the best flavor and hit feeling I have been looking for, still experimenting as I just got mine last week.
I will attempt to attach 2 pics.
1 for the DL .25 Pod settings
1 for the MTL .50 Pod settings
Hope this helps.
FYI the Power 8 boost 0 is what I use to prime a new pod per another persons post.
