I put a 26ga 3mm 5 Wrap Coil in it. Not sure I could go much bigger?
Flavor is Great. But I think I am going to Wear Out my Squonk Bottle if I used this Origen 16mm Day-In Day-Out.
I put a set of dual 26 gauge 2.5mm in mine,talk about a pita haha.They fit fine,but the way the holes are in an x pattern on the posts,i couldn't get the coil legs to go straight across,they kept wanting to go in one hole,then come out the hole right next to it.My eyesight sucks,so trying to get the legs straight across in those tiny holes drove me nuts haha.
I hear you.
I don't even Try to do a Build without putting one of these on.
Makes you look like a Card Carrying Dufus. But at least I can See what is Going On.
Actually, the design of the holes, ("X") being what they are is the best I've personally seen to date. Since receiving mine over a year ago I have always wondered why more Mfg's don't use the "X" concept. For the first time in 3yrs I have an atty that I never have to check periodically to see if the post screws are tight... Can't say this for any other RDA I have owned. After a short period of time the post screws always loosened up on them... I have only put 4 builds on both of mine since Oct '15, but building never seems to be a problem like other RDA's were because the wires go in and stay put pretty much till they are clamped down.
Well got a notice my Origen Little 16 shipped yesterday
But still shows ETA on site for the 5th. Now that makes 3 shipments on the way from FT. 
Mine's ready to ship, but the order is being held up by something else.
Thanks. I'd love to take credit but it came that way [emoji106]
Yours has more of a brushed finish. I like that look. Might have to Scotchpad mine up when it gets a little more beat up.
What? It looks like brushed bare metal. Do they now offer a "stainless steel" finish? It doesn't look like the anodized silver.
ETA: Never mind, I guess it is the silver. Mine was grey. Made it "silver" the hard way.

The atty looks great with the beauty ring, what tool did you use to get it down to 21mm.
Drill press and a file. It's slow going, but it works. Get the ring centered up on a bolt held tight with washers, and nuts, and go at it.
I may have missed it,but which sku is everybody getting from Ft for the Origen?They have 2 listed,so not sure which one is the better one.
After screwing around with Focal for a month,i finally told them to just cancel the whole order and give me my money back.It was bad enough they never bothered to tell me the Griffin bases were discontinued,now,every item i tell them to replace them with,they say is out of stock.I have listed probably 20 different items i would take as a replacement,and every single one they claim is out of stock,i am done with Focal haha.The beauty ring was the only thing i still wanted from them,but since Fasttech has it now,i'll just order everything from them.
