The first squonking attie I ever bought some three years ago was an original Origen Little - it wasn’t cheap ( nor for that matter were the two custom mods which I bought at the same time which have long since been consigned to Mod Heaven) and I had to get it from France, but I took to it straight from the off.
It didn’t leak, despite its small size it didn’t run hot and it was surprisingly easy to build on. It produced as much of a cloud as I wanted, and to my mind was excellent for flavour.
I gave up with squonking, somewhat disappointed with the mods I had, but kept the Origen in my “Apocalypse Box” - just in case, and for the next three years vaped away happily on my Nautilus and Triton Minis, until, as you’ll all be fed up of hearing, I broke three of them over the winter just gone.
Back in Scotland I replaced the three broken tanks with more of the same, but began looking for as bomb proof as I could get systems to take back to Spain, dug out the Origen and my mech Terminator Squonk Box … and found I loved the simplicity of both Squonkers and Drippers and the top notch flavour they could produce.
To add to the Spanish Arsenal, I bought a Mark 1 Pico Squeeze, 20 spare bottles for it (fasttech!). I loved the mod but couldn’t really get along with the attie - for me, while it was good enough for flavour, it was just too airy and leaked at the first hint of oversquonking.
Researching for another Origen, I found they were scarce as hen’s teeth but clones were available. Never having bought a clone of anything before I was somewhat wary and rather reluctant to try one, but becoming increasingly frustrated with the “Coral” which had come with the Pico, I finally bought one.
It arrived this morning. The seller had described it as a “perfect one for one clone” and I can’t argue with that as the parts are truly interchangeable. After coiling, wicking and priming I actually can’t tell any difference in its performance either .. it’s even as tolerant of oversquonking as the original Origen!
I’m back to Spain for a couple of months next week - both squonkers are going with me as is a vaping Outlaws “Enforcer” mech dripping kit
“Back to the Future” indeed! - Here’s a pic - spot the clone!
