The Origen Little 16 BF Thread (OL16)

Anybody tried Ni200 on the OL16?
Im going to pop some in later when I get a chance on the stemcrave squonker and give it a go.
 
26 awg Ni200
2.5mm ID
0.13 ohms on the mod
0.08 ohms on the tab.
Kendo gold wick, you can't see in the pic but i made a S shape with the cotton so the coil ends get the airflow.

Very impressive flavour right off the bat!
Nice clouds. I like that I can vape ncv milked at high wattages without a dry hit.

The vape is amazing. I never thought it would be great based on the airflow and the coil positing.
I'll definately be doing this build again with SS but not anytime soon!
 
This is sooo sad, but I think my OL16 is dethroning my cyclops
Flavor on this little atty is great.

Picked up my OL16s from @SAVapeGear on Saturday. I`ve been wanting to try this atty for some time but never got around to making the effort to order from overseas (something about procrastination:rolleyes:). First impression, beautifully crafted, tight tolerances a nice build deck and really small. After an overnight soak and a run through the USC, I attempted a quick build on Sunday evening. It`s easy to build this on atty with the dual holes on the post. Decent sized hex head grub screws as well. The allen key for the grub screws also fit the REO`s 510 adjustable connector:).

The draw with the airflow set on the widest openings, even with a wide bore drip tip, is a bit restricted compared to the Nuppin. Suitable for slow long DTL draws. On the smallest airhole it would be a great MTL draw.

The build: 7 wraps on 28 guage twisted Kanthal dual coil wicked with CBv2 2.5mm diameter. Around 0.45 ohms on the tab.

Not the neatest build but then again my coils never look as good as those in the coil build thread:oops:

Vaped @Paulie s Pistachio Ice Cream, NVC Milked and Creamy Clouds Milky Strawberry Ice Cream. All these have been in my daily rotation for a while now so I`m quite familiar with the notes on these. The flavour on this build was muted, almost to the point of no flavour.:( This is my goto build on my Nuppin and one of my Cyclones so I was a bit disappointed. Not being one to give up easily, it was back to the drawing board:cool:.

New build on Monday. 27g Kanthal 8 wraps 2.5mm diameter dual coils. 0.65 ohms on the tab.

Great improvment in flavour with the above mentioned liquids on the new build:clap:. I cannot make a definitive call at the moment and I will be trying more builds as time allows;). Will update accordingly.

@Blu_Marlin, try that exact same build but with a 1.5mm diameter coils. You will get huge flavour.

My starting build. Taken me out of my Reo comfort zone but I'm really enjoying it. Awesome build. Not only does it hit hard, but the flavour is saturated and delicious.

Super post above @Blu_Marlin - glad your second build was better
And thanks for the other advice from @Petrus , @SAVapeGear and @KB_314
I cant wait to start with this atty - am going to review all these posts when I get to it.
@KZOR this was a buy we made from @SAVapeGear who brought in a few of them. Dont think anyone has any local stock. Check with SAVapegear via PM.

I used a single coil, 2.5mm ID NI80 6/7wraps that comes out to 0.5 ohms.
I tried the single coil in between the posts and did not get great flavour, but it was ok. I then used a single coil on one side, and the flavour it great for me.

BTW, being such a small atty, the drip tip also makes a difference. I found one of my old nautilus driptips (really narrow top, and long) and there is definitely a flavour improvement.
 
Something else about this atty that differs from the Cyclones and RM2 (my only real frame of reference) - the drainage back into the squonker bottle is fantastic.

The Cyclone is very very good too, a lot better than the RM2 for me, and the soft touch required for the Cyclone (even without an Italian bottle) took some getting used to. But the OL16 is even better. Drainage is very quick, almost instant, and squonking requires an extremely soft touch if you have the Italian bottles especially. One fairly short squonk is enough for me even on SAVapeGears .25 build.

The juice comes right up between the two coils, and if you are using a high VG, thick liquid, it actually comes up over the coils and falls over the wicks, hitting them from the top more than the bottom - a lot like dripping. I'm not sure if this impacts the vaping experience in any way, but it's something new to me. I don't think it wicked this way on a dual coil build in the Cyclops.

Will it retire the Cyclones... the big test will be running it in single coil mode on a mtl build. I'm guessing that it will, but who knows. I can safely say that my Cyclops, which I never thought I'd sell (and which once belonged to @Andre if I remember correctly), will appear in the classies as soon as I can get my hands on another OL16. I'm now less interested in 22mm atties for the Reo, and because of that not certain I am gonna go for a P67. Another Grand would be less expensive, even more so if it were the economy model... hmm o_O
 
My biggest problem with the OL16 is that all my other 22mm atty's are not as good any more

The manta, stumpy and thump are not tasting as good anymore... Now I know why @Andre loves the OL16.

The OL16 is definitely one of my favourite, got 5 in rotation on different mods, but the Snapdragon is definitely a flavour beast, but I use it exclusively on a P67. I am waiting for a Viper V2 atty which is highly recommended, but what a battle to get your hands on.
 
@Blu_Marlin, try that exact same build but with a 1.5mm diameter coils. You will get huge flavour.
Thanks @Petrus I will try this build at some stage but right now I`m doing long slow DTL hits lasting around 8 to 10 seconds on the OL16:D. I`m not sure how the small diameter will affect the wicking. When I try MTL I will give this build a go.

Tried this build last night thanks @SAVapeGear . This build also took me out of my comfort zone:rolleyes:. The lowest I usually build is around 0.45 ohms. I had some SS316L 26g lying around from my time experimenting with TC. I put together this build and it came out to about 0.26 ohms on the tab. I wicked with CBv2, fired it up.....and wow. The flavour was on point for the strawberry and the pistachio. The milked, while improved, was still not on par with my other atty;). Threw in some Banana Cream from vape Chefs and almost fell overo_O. The flavour was outstanding:--). I`ve found a new atty/build for my Banana Cream:D. As @KB_314 said, saturated and delicious:)

I will keep trying different builds and see if it gets any better;). I can`t post pics of the build now and will upload tonight when I get home.
