The Origen Little 16 BF Thread (OL16)

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.

Mine is clone also. One thing is that this thing was the cure for my vapers tongue. Flavours taste exceptional in it i was so shocked. I would imagine the flavour would be about the same as authentic however many will argue. I think the authentic will just conduct heat better as i find mine gets quite hot. Also have better post screws and better build quality. But i cant imagine the flavour being noticeably different as the design is still the same.

The build quality is exceptional on the authentic.
I would recommend an authentic. You may be able to squeeze @SAVapeGear for an authentic.

I have 5 authentics and 1 clone in use. Really no difference in performance that I could pick up. The post screws of the clone looks of a lesser quality, but I am just careful with them - and I have spares. I prefer the authentic because I like to support the creativity of the maker and with clones you sometimes depend on the luck of the draw!

I would also think there should not be much difference in flavour

For some reason i also prefer having the real thing when it comes to buying anything
 
@Andre, on the clone the posts seems closer to the top deck. I am afraid of a short. I dumped two clones, only kept the O-rings and some spares.

Interesting, no difference on mine. That is the luck of the draw when it come to clones, which I referred to above.
 
Good day gents,

i spent some time with the OL16 this weekend, the build qualiy is unmatched. I must admit, iv been spoilt by the hadaly for a couple weeks, i wasnt able to achieve the flavour and body im used to and accept that it might not be possible, with that said iv only tried dual ni80 26 guage 2.5id 8/7 wraps compressed and spaced , in line with airflow and raised to the top of the posts

I feel the next step would be micro claptons (ni80 28gu 2.5id 6/5 wrap)

Before i attempt sourcing the wires, i just wanted to hear what the veterans have had success with in terms of flavour

I have 26gu ka , ni80 & 316ss on hand

Kind regards

@Scissorhands by no means a veteran or expert but on my mech squonkers I absolutely love 26 gauge ni 80...flavour is really unrivalled compared to other metals

I only do single coils (2.5mm). Mostly Claptons (26/32 I think) between 0.4 and 0.8 ohms, depending on the category of juice.

@Scissorhands another cracker is @SAVapeGear 28 SS/38 NI80 dual claptons
 
If I run on regulated,I do a 8wrap of these claptons,coming in at just over 0.5ohm firing them at 38w - 42w juice depended.Performance are great!!
 
Thank you ALL for a speedy response gents, loads for me to try. Apologies, im running it on a leprechaun.

@SAVapeGear i think those 0.3ohm claptons are gonna be just perfect, now to hunt down some wire
 
Played around with a new build in the OL16, single 24ga SS316L 6 wraps at 0.33ohm, top cap is placed so that the air holes face the corners where there's no wick, I must say I'm pleasantly surprised, the flavor is great but there's also a significant increase in throat hit, the top of the coil is in line with the top of the posts nd the coil ID is 2.5mmIMG_20170313_221617.jpg

Isn't your ramp up a bit high with that 24ga wire? I have tried every single build, but my favourite spot is dual 1.5mm 26ga, ni80, 6 wrap coils. Same build for my Mini's but then I use 28ga ni80 wire. I am still hunting 27ga ni80 wire

Surprisingly not, it glows almost instantly, maybe coz it's single coil, give it shot you may just like it

@SAVapeGear How would one go about squeezing you for an authentic OL16? I'm super keen for a leprechaun but just not sure about squonking yet. Maybe if I could get my hands on an OL16 and try it on my pico squeeze I will understand the amazingness of this setup...

Hi everyone!

Great thread! In fact the best I've found on the net researching this atty, because of the great build examples and tips. Hope you don't mind me posting here from far far away that is Hamburg, Germany:)

Reason I signed up here is I'm looking for some guidance. I've ordered this atty to be my first RDA (or rebuildable anything) along with a HCigar VT Inbox, because I heard that it's very versatile. That's great because I'm only four weeks into the vape journey. At the moment I am doing MTL using a UD Mesmer and iStick30 (at around 10-13W) but I'm getting annoyed with replacing coils because of the little liquid holes in the Mesmer don't allow me to "chainvape" (like having 10-15 draws on it in a row).

I want to start using this MTL style and maybe check out DLs later. I need to find out two things: what to build and what battery to get. I'm thinking Kanthal A1 28G, 7 wrap, 2.5mm ID right now, either single or dual. Not sure which is better for trying MTL. Next question is what wattage I need for flavors, throat hit and vape to develop: I've had the Idea of using NCR18650GA (2.8C at 3500mah) that would limit me to around 20W, but provide ample capacity that might even get me through the day in one pack. Now I'm worried that it the ramp time with such a build would be too long at that low a wattage, hence vaping MTL would only work if I sucked on it for like 10 seconds. I do prefer the good old 3.5 sec draw from cigs right now. If 20W were fine, I'd like to get that battery and enjoy the greater capacity - I find that very convenient - and for trying DL I could get some with higher C rating. However I wouldn't like to buy these 20W fellas just to find out I can't get a nice MTL out of them, right?

If you could help pointing me in the right direction both with the single/dual and the respective batteries matters it would be greatly appreciated!

BTW I'm super stoked for this experience - I imagine in a big step up, both in vaping experience as in skills required. Trying hard to keep composure here :)

Congratulations on the OL16 decision.
I like Ni80 wire 26 AWG but 28 is also fine.
I do 2.5mm ID coils with about 6 or 6 wraps (Dual coils) and it comes out to about 0.4 ohms to 0.3 ohms.
On a mechanical mod that's about a 14 AMP draw so I use LG HG2 batteries that are rated at 20AMP and 3000 mah .

Kanthal would be perfect and the ol16 with the adust able airflow will be perfect.
