I had a v2 clone and loved it so much that i went for the v3 authentic. Haven't put it down since i got it a month ago.
The differences are the domed topcap, which seems to smooth out the vape somewhat over the v2, slightly wider deck that holds more juice than the v2.
The topcap is screwed on now, so no more pulling off the AFC when taking it off, and the heatfins look great and seem to help with heat dissipation.
O-rings and tolerances are excellent in my book.
Airholes are 1,2 mm / 1,5 mm / 2 mm / 2,5 mm for both single and dual coil. I prefer the 2mm ones myself, but the 1.2s are pretty tight.
It doesn't come with any kind of packaging other than some foam wrap, but the machining is high quality.
The origen is one of those pieces in my collection that really fills me with joy. I wont be needing another dripper any time soon.

Well that's pretty much sold it for me! Thanks for your help pushbutton.
Im more of a tank man and have not had much luck with drippers but ive been reading so many good reviews of the v2 i had to give it a go. After tons of reasurch i found they now have a v3 but tehres not many reviews of it out there.

As with Pushbutton, I've been in love with my V2 clone for a year, so I pulled the trigger on the authentic V3 - arrived 3 days ago, and it's fantastic. Quick thumbs up for InTaste in Germany - I ordered on a Monday afternoon, they had it at my doorstep in New Zealand on Friday morning. That's insanely quick.
Airflow is the same as the V2, with the addition of the 2.5mm hole - that's especially good for better airflow in single coil mode, something I found lacking in the V2. It should also be helpful for those coming from more wide open RDAs. I have a clone of the Origen Genesis V3, and the airflow ring from it fits on the RDA, so you can have dual coils closer together instead of opposite each other.
Build desk is essentially the same as the V2, with a little more capacity. Looks to be the same lighter steel used in the Genesis, media blasted. I've heard people say it's a PITA to build on, but I find it really simple - it's designed for vertical coils in the same was as a Genesis is.

Haha i ordered mine from intaste as well. Got an email saying they posted it today. Im in London uk so hopefully should ge it soon. After reading your posts im really looking forward to giving it a go.
Like I said ive not had much luck with drippers. Im happy with tanks (kayfuns) for work but in the evening I'd like something different. Ive tried the stillair v3 which I hated and the vulcan which was ok. Ive seen so many good things about the v2 and now the v3 that I can't ignore it plus soooooo many people go on about drippers I need to give it one last shot.
You guys got any pics of your builds you'd lie, to share? I'd be very interested to see what you use

Sure, please excuse the mess! I've been using twisted coils for the last few weeks, and they're working really well. Last night I built them more loosely twisted to see if there's much difference between that and a really tight twist. All my coils have been built this way pretty much since I got my first V2. Wrap on a drill bit, then install it with the drill bit holding it into the corner of the deck opening.
I am using the same method sedition mentioned. Insert the coil with drillbit, wrapping the negative around the screw from the inside out, leaving about 1-1.5mm leg (it tugs the leg in a tiny bit when tightening down the screw), followed by the negative on the second coil.
Then i adjust the positives so they are the same lenght, bend the wires slightly where they come out of the positive posthole to keep them in place and tighten down the positive nut.
With the drillbit inserted in the coil, i usually adjust the height of the coil with a pair of needletip tweezers. The bottom of the coil starts right where the outer barrel of the deck ends.
With the vertical coils i noticed that 'less is more' holds true when wicking, especially since you can't really feel how much resistance your wick has when you are tucking it in with a pair of tweezers.
My build is a plain 8 wrap around 2.5mm drillbit with 0,40 26AWG Kanthal A1. Comes around 0.52-0.55Ohm and is an excellent vape for me at 30-35W with the 2mm airholes.
You mentioned looking for a tight draw, so i am guessing your build will differ somewhat.
Hope this helps
edit: i haven't yet tried horizontal coils, but from what i have seen on Youtube, the common method would be to have one leg of wick sitting in each 'chamber'.

i love my origen v1. been eyeing the v2 for so long i hadnt ralized there was a v3 now! v3 is now certainly on my radar.
ive tried horiz colis in my origen v1 and the flavor was definitely less intense with horiz coils than verticals. i greatly prefer the verticals. plus they wick a little better than the horiz coils.

Yep, horizontals just don't perform as well as verticals for flavor, IMO at least. A good analogy for the difference in flavor is a spray bottle. Horizontals, both in the Origen and traditional 3 post RDAs is like having the flavor misted into your mouth with the mist setting on the spray bottle. Vertical coils are closer to the solid stream setting. Using the largest airhole on the V2 (2nd largest on the V3), it really hits you in the back of the throat.
I put a new twisted build in last night, this time really tightly twisted rather than loose as you see above - much better performance from the tight twist.

Do you mind if i ask what wire you used for that build? Also interested in final resistance and watts you typically vape it at.
Think i am ready to try another twisted build.
I've been using a V2 Origen for five days now and very impressed with it.
I was curious about vertical coil so I tried it on a standard RDA and it works but ended up with a little extra leg length. I chose the V2 Origen not even knowing there was a V3. I like the tight draw in single coil mode and my single twisted coil is tasting great. 30 gauge twisted pair -- 1.5 ohms -- 15 watts. I'm a fan.
I agree with sedition. The twisted coil vertical is really putting out the flavor. I go back and try tensioned micro coils and while they work great they just don't have the slap in the tongue flavor I get from twisted.
I put a JMK Tip on the dripper and it has the same diameter as the top step of the cap so looks great. I couldn't be happier.

Excellent pics bige. Im also a fan of a tight draw so will be looking forward to giving that a go when I get the Origen. Fingers crossed I'll get some vape mail tomoorow.
Thanks Adee! The only difference now from those pics is that I cut the top of the wick off flat shorter than what's shown. On that first build that big ball of wick above the coil got scrunched by the dome blocking off just a tad of the opening between the center post and the dome. Now I think I get the smoothest air flow.
You mentioned in the OP you like the tightest draw you can get. I think you'll be happy then with the Origen. In single coil I have it set to the 2mm and it is nice. works just right for me for mouth to lung or the occasional lung hit.

I forgot to include a pic in my series. This shows how I wick the vertical coil. Its a little tricky getting down into the well under the coil but I found toothpicks do the job. Run 'em like a pair of tiny chopsticks. Pull the wick down a little at a time. My tweezers were to big.
Ive got so used to the draw a kayfun gives its hard to find a dripper that's similar. I doubt the Origen will be as tight but even a little restriction will do for me. I very rarely lung hit and so a long mouth to lung on a tight draw is perfect.
Should be delivered today so am constanly checking the window for the postman....
I use 28g at the moment. I'm going to try A/B testing 26g vs 28g, but at the moment, I'm really happy with the 28g.
I use a pair of these:
http://res-1.cloudinary.com/wlabs/image/upload/c_lpad,h_474,w_469/abfl6xscsrywnzmhpj7i.jpg
Sharp pointed tweezers you'll find in the same place you get regular tweezers at a pharmacy or supermarket. Manicare brand from memory.
Something I find helpful with twisted builds is to twist it into a bowtie, of sorts, like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rather than threading the straight twisted wire through the positive post hole, I twist the wire a little bit, then slide a drill bit between the wires at the halfway point, then use a bulldog clip to secure it from sliding out. Continue twisting, and you end up with kinda loop in the middle that you can put over the entire positive post. Tighten down the post and it makes a really strong, reliable connection. Then wrap both sides, twist them down and secure the negative, and you're away.
I'll post pics when I do my next one in case any of that wasn't clear.

For the fiddley stuff i find a pair of tweezers and some cheap dental tools works a treat. Picked up the dental stuff from ebay for a few quid.
I'm interested in trying twisted as ive never done it before. How long do your coils last?

I'm guessing a long time - haven't really tested it since I get bored and try new builds, but they'd have to go for weeks, if not months. They'll get a little brittle after a few dry burns, but so long as you don't try to move them around and reshape them too much, that won't hurt them in and of itself.
I built a 26g twisted dual tonight, it'll take a few days to really get a sense of it, but right now there's still plenty of flavor and a bit more vapor production (not that 28g twisted lacks in that department).
