The Origen Little 16 BF Thread (OL16)

[Silver]

New coil this afternoon for the special OL16

Dual Kanthal 28g
2mm ID
0.5 ohms

I tried to get the coils closer to the posts and higher up than my previous coil



Had a bit of trouble installing the coils because you need more fingers to keep the coils stable before you tighten it up. I will say I struggled a bit and almost aborted. My hands were not very steady and I was a bit impatient.

Not exactly even height but will have to do because I already cut the legs off. Wasn't going to start again I had also tightened before cutting the legs so I couldn't adjust much. I pulled quite hard to raise the one coil but that's as far as it would go.



Wicked up with Rayon because a very special juice has come back into my cave! Paulie's Guava! To which I've added some menthol.



All lubed up and ready to go. The anticipation and excitement at this point was just huge. I hadn't vaped Paulie's Guava for a few months!!! Just the smell of the guava is enough to get me excited.



And?

My oh my it is lovely!

The coil performs very well in the OL16. This atty has such a refined glorious flavour. And it's very smooth. Despite using the largest airholes it's still a restricted lung hit. I could probably aim for slightly lower next time - say 0.4 ohms. Maybe I should try with NI80. But as it stands now it's amazing. Am enjoying it thoroughly.

Will post my comments about the juice in the What did you vape today thread.

you should definitely try a dual 2mm id coil with 28g ni80. i've been using this in one of mine. great vape!

Thanks @Flava

Will give that a try!
Looks like yours are 7 wraps each?

What have you found regarding what the positioning of the coils does to the vape?

 

[Flava]

Yip, 7 wraps.
Close to the posts with top of coil being inline with the top of the posts. Allows for better airflow, throat hit and flavor.

Thanks very much - i will try that
I just wish it was a bit easier to install the dual coils. Am not looking forward to it. Maybe I should ask Mrs Silver to lend me a hand

 

[Flava]

An extra set of hands would work but probably not a long term plan.
With coil positioning I use a method similar to the velocity post tip from big guy. Put them in looking slightly of vertical and in the middle (between post and edge of deck). Then tighten down slightly and use the id tool to turn the coil horizontal and raise; make final adjustments tighten post screws and snip the extra as the last step.

Also found that its easier to thread the legs from inside hole and come out the outer hole (hope that makes sense).

Thanks, sort of got it
The part i am probably not doing is tightening slightly to hold things in place
Will try that

Maybe you can take one or two pics next time you build just to show what you mean with being "slightly off vertical"

I understand what you are saying with threading the legs from inside to outside. Thats how I do it too!

 

[M5000]

I have eyesight issues, I get it right eventually but what markers or any tips that you use to get the clearances from touching any sides>

did a build just now, dual 26 ni80 3mm.
Think it might help.

As you guys know the OL16 was a hit and miss for me so I purchased a Hadaly, I've seen people fall in love with the Hadaly and talk about how great the flavor was and for me it was average, I guess the beauty of the Hadaly is being able to fit some super fancy coils in the clamp style deck but for us Reo users ramp up kills, so I sold the Hadaly to someone that'll give it a great home on a Halcyon DNA 200 and ever since I've been on a mission trying to make the OL16 work for me, building on it twice or thrice a day sometimes, using all kinds of wire and wick just trying to get a flavorful vape out of it...and finally after many, many builds, hours and lots of frustration I've got it, 8 wrap 2.5mm id 26ga ss316l reading at 0.26ohm much like the build you guys recommended but what I did different was space the coils, as usual close to the posts, top of coil in line with top of posts and I have to tell you guys it's amazing, by far thee best flavor I've ever gotten in the entire time I've been vaping, note I've used some great flavor atties such as the Dotmod Petri rda and rta, Recoil rda, Augvape Merlin and Merlin Mini rta's, Serpent Mini 22,25 and Alto, but this 1 with this build just did it for me, it's warm, dense and so saturated with flavor. Also I wicked with Cotton Candy from Lung Candy, maybe it's just the juice, Paulies Apricot Jam Donut, but this combination is 1 heck of a vape. Try it guys, you'll thank me later. I don't know how just spacing the coil made such a huge difference

 

[Moey_Ismail]

Just wanna add that on a fresh 18650 3-5 second draw, airflow wide open, this is the result vapor wise

 

[Silver]

Thanks fpr the feedback @Moey_Ismail
That coil of yours looks perfect. The side shot has so much symmetry!
Glad you got the little OL16 working nicely for your taste.
Its a wonderful atty indeed

 

[Petrus]

This little atty keeps me busy, just so many possibilities. First a single SS316, 28ga, 2,5 mm 0.7 ohms, naaa not for me.

 

[Petrus]

Then, a parallel coil, exact same build but 0.34 ohms, as most of you will know I like a warm wape.....perfect. Just a bugger to fit the coil in this position.

 

[Kalashnikov]

Out of curiosity has anyone tried a build with the maximum airflow setting. Im thinking of trying something tonight without the ring .

Nope, what coil are you planning to use?

Was planning maybe a single 7Wrap with 22G Kanthal. The airflow without any build and all the holes open seems about that of a limitless with 1 full side open. Once i get a coil and wick in it should drop down the airflow by about half. Will revert. I have an idea its going to suck but all in the name of science

 

[Akash]

It may be a bit too airy coz you'll have air flowing in thats not directed to the coil.
But since its in the name of science, do let us know how it goes bro

Good luck getting all the extra juice off your mod after squonking

So tried it and not to bad but a tad bit to much air so flavour was slightly less but expected it to be way less.. surprisingly not. however pulled it out and went back to dual 26g... This is my first time using this atty. I tried 3 builds with a clapton wire and in all honesty i couldn't see the big fuss. However after deciding to read this entire thread i decided to try a normal buiild. Stuck in a single coil and raised it up and against the post. Such a change in flavour and the airflow basically doubled. Then added in a second coil. What an absolute mission to get dual coils in perfect into this. But worth the 1 hour it took me lol.... btw didn't affect squonking @Christos

Good to know.

 

[Akash]

Its an awesome atty @Kalashnikov

My favored build is a dual 8 wrap 26ga Ni80. For my throaty tobaccos its perfect

Tried this a while back and I was supposed to post but work got the better of me. There is a noticeable drop off in flavor if you use the same build with and without the air flow ring because alot of the airflow is not directed over/under the coils directly. The vape is also a lot cooler. If you are really after more air flow I would suggest the OL16 Big Bore Cap if you can get your hands on it. I use it on my OL16 with the BF Therion running at 55 watts on a 0.28ohm, N80, 24awg 2.5mm ID, 8 wrap compressed dual coil setup with the coils placed as close to the posts and as low as possible without touching the deck.

 

[M5000]

@Moey_Ismail that's a fine build, I find the OL16 to be fairly forgiving so it works great but now I need to go and sit patiently and do a build like that.

@Kalashnikov would that not work similar to the cloud cap? Would have more holes but a restricted chamber and I wonder how many of the airholes would take air in.

Hi guys
I have a OL16 clone ,that i purchased this week not knowing the reputation of this little atty, i bought it just for the looks. After doing some research on how to build coils for it i discovered only positive reviews on it. I must say even though i am using a clone i am really impressed ,its by far the best i have experienced ,although i have only used 3 attys before the ol16 . Is there anyone that has first hand experience between the Authentic and the clone? I am considering getting an authentic one.
