Not bad not the easiest, nothing to be scared of, lots of people run verts but horizontal coils with the tails down in the reservoirs keep juice from spilling out and being fed from both ends made the most sense to me. I run twisted 28ga @0.45 0hm, that was a bit of a pain to get mounted but no biggie, I also drilled out the smaller air hole to bigger than the biggest and it's just right, I didn't touch the outside ring so you can't tell it's drilled, I'm not a cloud chaser, I'm all about flavor.
Horizontals a little tricker than verticals but like Tbev said, nothing to be scared of. I prefer vertical and can build them just as fast as a standard 3 post RDA. Just takes some practice.
Wouldn't the airflow essentially be the same without drilling out the outer ring?

Your think so but the I did it, not huge but made a atty I wouldn't have used be in my hand right now, if you go really big you sound do the afc run ring too but I'm running 0.4ohm and I prefer flavor, twisted 28ga horizontal coils,
Is anyone running this setup from vapingtech.net?

I am and loving it. I have VT's origen v1 and had it as my daily until I picked up the v2. I think it's a 1:1. The pin is copper and hits hard as hell compared to the v1. The extra caps are great also and the drip tip is 1:1 to the original too. Definitely worth the upgrade!

Anyone tried setting this up with stainless steel mesh? And if so, how'd it go?
Been thinking about trying it but I only have enough ss for 1 wick left (Well, 1 genny wick, so I could cut the piece in half and get 2 wicks for my origen) and don't wanna waste it

Shoot I haven't used ss mesh since the rsst :/ I've been meaning to try it out again. What # are you using?

i've used #400 ss and its great. Though im vaping a juice that gunks up pretty fast. Whats the best way to clean out your wick without unscrewing the coils? Just dry burn the ss wick? or dry burn > rinse water >dry burn?
I switch between #400 and #500 trying to see a difference... I honestly think my local vape shop only carrys 1 type and just sells it as #300, #400, and #500
Haven't tried holding them side to side to compare them tho, haven't bought any in months also since I was using it with my RSST xD When my Rayon gunks up I'll make a new coil for it genesis style and see how I like it What Ω coil did you make? I'm kinda worried if I did my normal .4Ω build it wouldn't keep up
Haven't used stainless steel since my genny days and I had to tilt it to get it to keep up with a 1.5Ω coil at 15 watts...

I bought an original origen V2 specifically for my bottom feeders and I've done several builds on it so far, I've done verticals horizontals and even slanted coils but I've never really been in love with this atty because of the deep juice wells, especially in a bottom feeder which doesn't benefit from all that excess juice, stuffing the well with wick is like putting a bandaid on the situation. I mean I love the craftsmanship and machining, it's a beautiful piece that I tried hard to love but in the end I found that I may agree with rip in that I couldn't really get this thing to vape as well as I had hoped for some reason no matter how I built it, and I think the juice does wind up getting cooked in the well too after a while giving an off taste too. I decided to modify it to work better for a bottom feeder so here's what I came up with. yes I did have to drill a hole in the atty to mount the negative post so it's not so reversible unless I plug that hole but I don't see myself ever going back anyway, so
in these first pics you can see the old internals on the left and the new deck I made to the right, I made the deck feed like a chalice, I think the chalice is one of the best drainage atties I have so I used that same funnel type drain design and it works really well.
here is how it feeds, a light squeeze of the juice bottle and the liquid comes right up, saturating the wick and coils:
and then when I release the feed bottle the excess juice retracts, leaving a dry deck with fully saturated wick and coil
from the first build it vapes awesome, very happy with this mod atm I guess as a dripper those deep wells are good but as a bottom feeder, not so much

Great adaptation. Makes me want to splurge for a REO.
I'm vaping right now on a $8.80 clone from FT --amazingly well finished! I tried mesh as I already had a pair of 2mm wicks of 350 ready for a Dome. Didn't like the poor wicking. Then replaced the mesh with cotton and it improved *a lot* but still missed something so I went horizontal and with the cotton on the outside... BOOM!

I've really been wanting to try horizontal coils on the Origen but kinda worried about hotlegs... Any problems with yours, ForeverDiving?
Hi Dissonance! Nope. Sorry I didn't post a pic of them glowing but not at all... and they are fairly long (like 3mm each). I coil them before attaching tho. In any case, you can see the coils are placed between the + & - poles so if you leave your upper leg on positive you will have a fairly manageable length. No need to do 3 wrap coils
. I used 30ga for a 1Ω build on two toothpicks of 2mm dia. Will try 28 on a 2.4mm bit next.PS, just noticed my coil legs are attached upside down. Just the same. I've been vaping this build since I got the Origen on the vapemail three days ago. They've gone from mesh verticals to cotton, ekowool, slanted and now horizontal tunnel.

Thanks! Just threw a .41Ω build in (dual coil 8 wraps of 26g around a 14g needle) and it's working great with Rayon Going to have to play with it a bit more, I feel like the wicking would be better if I centered the coil (I ran the wick through the coil, both tails going into the same juice well for each coil... The one closer to the negative post is almost at a right angle, probably going to be a problem when the wick starts to gunk) but just vaped my first run dry without any wicking issues so pleased to say it's working better than the verticals Also realized with my setup that the hotleg I was worried about is completely covered by wick, so even if it does heat up (which it didn't glow when squeezing the coils) it just means more vapor
Edit: I'm kinda thinking about spinning the positive post so I can set the coils over the little metal divider, one wick from each coil going into each well. Any reasons this would be a bad idea? (Other than it maybe being a PITA to trap the negative lead). Also worth mentioning I just got a nic buzz off the same juice I've been vaping all day non stop just from changing the orientation of the coils... If that doesn't mean I'm getting better wicking I don't know what does :O

Are you using the wire hole on the + post? If you just wrap the top leg between the nuts (the post nuts, that is ;D) :LOL: I don't see the need to turn the post around. The neg screw will be even easier then. In fact, I think that's a great idea, I'll try it tomorrow. Time to hit the sack now...
PS, congrats on the build! I don't really sub-ohm frequently. It burns my throat! 0.9~1.0Ω is my lower limit (13.5~15W).

I don't know, spinning the post is easy enough... Honestly I thought I had a bad clone for the longest because the center post WAS spinning >.> Then I realized it's a screw held on by the bottom knurled nut and felt like an idiot. But I like using the post hole since the coil doesn't get discombobulated when tightened down
But if you do try that definitely let us know the results - Status
