OK, so here's more detail.
My 007 was a little weak yesterday. So when I got home I started cleaning and maintenance on the fire button since I'd already ruled out everything else. I hadn't done it in a while and there was some serious ring around the collar in the button bore of the top cap. Cleaned out the button and it was still a little weak, but much better. Then, just before I put it together one last time, I checked the battery..... damn I was getting a pretty good vape at 3.2V.
Had to get that all worked out before setting up my new Origin V2. So, here's the setup. Dual 12/13 wrap 26g Nichrome 80 on 1/16th DZ jig nice and tight. Then I ran out of time before going to work. Before going to work I was thinking I was going to go with cotton for the wick. Not being sure how it was going to squonk or how many vapes I was going to get between squonks, I decided to go with ceramic - XC-116. Problem was I already had my coils wrapped and burned in. I read about the straw trick but that wasn't going to work on something this small. What worked was making a small cone out of scotch tape inverted sticky side out on pointed tweezers. Then cut the tip of the cone to a size just big enough to let the wick through and twist it down through the coils. Took a little patience but worked like a charm. The SC-116 is a perfect fit for a 1/16 ID coil.
The bottom feed pin mod wasn't to tough. I used a combination of a screwdriver to twist the pin while applying downward pressure on the base over a wadded up shop rag to prevent damage to the original pin. Once the pin was sticking out the bottom I was able to remove it fairly easy with toothless needle-nose pliers.
It squonks better than I thought it would considering I could barely see the squonk hole just above the juice well. The bottom nut for the BF pin mod has notches in it to allow juice flow, so even though you can’t see the hole, it works great. First squonk took about 3ml.
I put the caps on with the biggest holes setup for dual mode……….. YUMMY! Bit fat chewy tasty clouds. While taste is subjective I have to say with this particular setup Its a couple steps up from the dual Cyclone in flavor and vapor production. That's my take anyway.
I get about 10 lung hits before I start to loose flavor and then I can tip it side to side and get a couple more. It takes a good 10 second squonk to fill it back up again.
I hope nobody got that big mess I almost posted. I was wondering what was wrong with the site. Cut/Pasted all my notes by mistake.
