I'm going to try to ignore the Valentine's Day Origen Massacre pics, so I don't lapse into a state of dysphoric catatonia... I did my second BF build on my v2 Origen. It is now nearly identical in vape profile to my Cyclone running the exact same dual coil 28g 0.6 ohm build.
The trick is to build so that the coils are horizontal and resting right above the well openings, where the
juice holes are on the BF center post. That way,
juice comes out and falls right on the coils and surrounding wick. With horizontal coils, the
juice wasn't feeding effectively.
I tried a few verticals too, don't get me wrong it's not that it don't work, i'm not saying it sucked, it's just that I think it wasn't quite as good to me as my other's no matter how I built it and I'm probably being very picky. I've got several other bf atties and they all just beat this wet deck design to me, on my other atties with the right build I can get it to absolutely perfect vapor and flavor, true bliss delightful vape for a day or 2 till it needs to be rewicked, but this one I always just feel something is just a little bit off, I get a little more throat hit than my other atties too, kinda like the chalice gave me with a Z coil in the center, another setup that does work and many love it too, but just not ideal to me. I also think that extremely fat and tall center post is affecting the airflow too, it's just an odd designed chamber setup that I don't really love.
I love the chalice now that I use it with side mounted coils, it's the best vaping single coil atty I have now and I love the odin and the quasar for duals, both just awesome dual coil atties to me and what I want from a vape. the cyclone with afc was very good but the chamber was a bit tall and that muted flavor a bit when compared to smaller chambers, but when I modded the cyclone to reduce the chamber then it became an atty I can love and gives me a perfect vape too.
maybe I didn't give the origen enough of a chance, I only did like 2 different verticals in it and several other horizontals and slanteds but I guess I know what I like in a bf atty design, and verticals and that deep well just ain't for me. my new design is like a big fat chalice deck, I'm sure it will be a better vape for me and the way I build and now it will feed and retract the fluid correctly with no excess juice pool, it should be a kickass atty when I finish with it
and yeah I'm anxious to see if the periscoping drip tip actually tunes the flavor as much as reducing the chamber does... worse case is that it vapes best with the driptip retracted all the way up to the roof of the atty, in that case then it would be the same as any other atty design and my theory would be proven wrong but I really expect the flavor to be tunable with what I'm thinking and if so, the nuppin is perfectly suited to also play with this flavor tuning even with the stubby center pin, I don't see much reason to even go with less than that nub there tbh, the way your deck funnels in towards the center is ideal and the center nub post is about flat with the outer perimeter so to me it's fine just the way it is
I always liked the cyclone posts with the tiny allen key retaining screws too because it minimized the airflow interference, I actually think that my cyclone vaped better with the minimal allen set screws in the posts than it did when I replaced them with big fat phillips heads, a small change like that is something most won't ever think about affecting the vape or maybe even notice but when it comes to airflow and extracting flavor from the coil, everything makes a difference. moving the coil around is only one variable and if you're experienced rebuilding then you can see how dramatic an effect moving the coil even a mm can make, it's obvious that the air inlet and it's position has a dramatic effect, and of course chamber volume does too but these other airflow characteristics I'm talking about also make a big difference and this is how stuff like the kayfun spheroid rose magma immortalizer etc do what they do. I'm trying to duplicate there straight through flow design with a side holed dripper by drawing air flow from between the 2 coils instead of way above them which causes most of the air to be chamber air instead of right off the coil air...
