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

Must... resist... urge... to butcher... one of... my... Origens...

I suspect this is as much a matter of preference as atty design. But the Origen really is built for those vertical coils, and the space really lends itself optimally to dual verticals, so I'm not surprised that using it with horizontals will leave most people unimpressed. Frankly, I think the BF center posts were released due to popular demand, because those crazy for the Origen dripper experience wanted to be able to take it with them on a BF mod. I am one of those people. But it is a pain, squonking too much and not being able to pocket it because there's another 5 or 10 vapes' worth of juice in the well.

Coil I can believe, but wick? What the heck are you using?

I'll guess mimetic polyalloy held in place by a magnetic containment field, fed via reconfigurable carbon nanotube substrate. Both can be dry-burned and rebuilt remotely via a smartphone app.

Titanium and rayon are sooooo last week.

Ok, well . . .. . . . the idea here is just to get a couple people trying it and giving some feedback and brainstorming some solutions (if needed). It isn't like we have to wait til next x-mas to get some more handmade "no-posts". I just didn't want some mad rush of requests for me to churn out a bunch of something that could use some proving out before mass production is justified. If it seems to be working, I'll make a bunch more (and as soon as it seems warranted). Whiplash, I don't think you really need to be out on the road with an experimental connection in your mod. It's your call; but if you don't even have a backup in the glovebox, maybe waiting a couple weeks or a month would make sense? (no? . . .. yes? .. . . .no?) Whatever suits your fancy.

I would have put my name on that list last nite (would have been #2), but figured it would be best if Pdib only pick a small handful of folks to do this with to start out, plus I'm all the way out here in the UK. Having said that, I do run 2 REO's, so I'm good to go for backups if you need someone to beta test.

sorry man, I didn't know it was that list, I thought it was the other list to get on the list :laugh:

yeah I guess it is a matter of preference but i agree that bottom feeding the origen was an after thought. I just finished it tonight and it works good so far and it feeds and drains perfectly :)

Had to go back to your earlier pics to wrap my head atound what I was looking at. Brilliant!

I'd be more than happy to send you mine to convert. Its a $ 15 clone, so it wouldnt be a huge loss if something went sideways.

Peter go ahead and take me off the list. I'm excited to try the Nuppin with my disability to see how much I can do with one solid hand and arm and one which can only be relied on being random. So for those who test the Nuppin please test to see how well it would work with one solid hand and one which randomly likes to point towards Pluto. I can wait, and can figure out how to work around my possessed left arm and hand with the final model...if not two....or.....(NO!!! I'm not getting a third Dibi!!! :facepalm: )

*Dime not included

My thoughts exactly for the "No Center Post" option. :D The only suggestion I would make would be to knurl the top bit for removal purposes... (for folks that may bite their fingernails... lol)

All the more reason for you to be on the list. You bring a different perspective to the table.

My experience has been that a small pair of needle nose is needed to remove.
I don't think fingernails would be strong enough.
Course I set them in good.

So, with the "no-post", the advantage is that both coil legs are pointing the same direction; so one would initially drop in / press down. One could then release the coil and switch to turning the neg. screw. In this sense, it could be a one handed operation (in that the steps can be completely isolated from one another). As is, tho, one needs to do some prep work on the leg of the coil that's going into center. It must have some kind of shape that will guarantee contact. As we fiddle with the means to establish some more certain contact on the pos. leg, we should/could focus on making it an isolated step. (coil goes in, coil is released, neg screw is set, pos. capture is set . . . . all separate steps).

The thing about the shorty post is this: the wire capture hole is at 90° to the neg. hole in the deck (and it's low on the post too). It's very likely that a coil could be put in place with one hand, now that I think about it. This would be shear dumb luck (from a design standpoint). The neg. leg needs to be trimmed to ~7-8mm. I leave the pos. leg long and pull a swoop into it (like curling ribbon; but with my fingers). I feed the pos. leg until it's about where I want it. There's friction (as the deck rim is about the same height), so it stays where I leave it. Now the neg. leg is sort of floundering and trapped at an awkward angle; but is in the vicinity of it's hole. Grab the neg. with tweezers and help/force the tip over to the hole, and it pops in. You know, these steps are all isolated/isolatable too. It may well be one-handable. :blink:

Anyway, Megan, let's just see where we're at when the time comes.
