They shipped mine 2 day priority so far I put in dual stainless ohms are jumping when I got it steady I didn't get any flavor really
He told me 6$ flat rate I figured that meant ground, I hope I got the priority though so I can have it for the weekend. Maybe it's the build? I know builds can affect the rda a lot, personally the build I have in the origen v3 has like zero flavor. So I probly have to change it. Maybe try a different build, I can't say much since I don't have one yet.

Honestly though, I think I am about to get hit by the Tsunami wave . . .

But I may get the 24 mm just to have one. It's good to see more movement with RDAs again.

Are you rocking verts in the Origen V3? This dual 24ga build blasted the flavor.

Yup lol and I hate vertical coils but that's just my preference. This is actually the 2nd vertical build I've done and the flavor was lacking both times, not just a little bit but major. I did 2 different builds, 2 different gauges, 2 different diameters, and totally different juices. I haven't played around much with this new build so I'll have to see tomorrow when I wake up, maybe it needs more heat who knows.

I was planning on getting the Tsunami after swearing I wouldn't buy another atty for a couple months. The only thing that bothers me is the bottom airflow. Think I'll wait to see if a majority of folks have leak issues, if not, another atty for the rotation.

I've seen a lot of good reviews on these and them coming out with a 24mm one finally had a reason to get one. Preordered the titanium grey one.

Just me, but I don't care about clouds, 'hybrid' connections, 22 mm or 24 mm, cerakote or SS, chuff or 510s; I care about flavor! This atty, for whatever reason, has it in spades! Luckily, though, I don't care about bottom-fed airflow because that would, obviously, be a deal breaker.

Cheers, bruh! I think you will love it, and if not, I know who will. ;)

But those chimneys are so tall, it would seem that you'd have to be more than overzealous to get that bad boy to leak.

I had the same experience with the V3. The flavor was just okay with a horizontal or vertical build.

I have the Kennedy 24 which has the same airflow and unless you totally flood the deck above the airflow holes you won't have any leaking and the multiple reviews I have watched on the Tsunami confirm the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it.

I have the same 24ga duals as inswva. Full dense flavor at .30 ohms.

That's what I don't get, so many people raved about the origen v3 that's why I wanted one. It sucks cause I love the looks, how versatile it is with different accessories, the deep juice well, and it has perfect air flow that doesn't whistle or get loud. Yet I can't get any flavor out of it.

What's your secret? I tried everything, just like H, and couldn't get anything more than mediocre flavor out of the V3. Maybe it's the wicking? Coil placement? @inswva please add your thoughts as well. Also like H, I love the looks of the V3 and the airflow is up my alley so I'd like to actually get great performance out of the V3.

inswva can probably help more. I have no secrets since I can barely build and install verticals on it...trapping the positive wires sometimes causes a lot of profanity. 3mm ID is my standard. 24 or 26ga depending if I want it around .30 or .7-8. This is the same build I'm using in the Marquis with the same flavor results. I haven't ever tried horizontal in either of those two.

I'm sorry if that doesn't help.

I agree, trapping the positive definitely causes profanity :laugh: That's pretty similar to how I build mine so dunno what the difference is. I appreciate the help, I'll just keep cracking away at it. Same thing with my Hellfire Raptor. Everything I try leads to only mediocre flavor but 99% of people rave about the flavor from it.

From most of what I've read or video's I've watched, its not leaking from over-dripping juice...it's condensation leaking that plagues most...

I'm not too sure what I'm (we're) doing wrong here, I actually did do 3 builds but I scrapped the other one cause it was horizontal and it looked jacked up. But my coils look just like yours and everyone elses. When my solstice has more flavor then the origen v3 there's a HUGE problem there lol. I don't mind the pain in building as much as the lack of flavor that's going on, at least in the end of a hard build I could be rewarded with excellent flavor, but it's just not there. I can deal with mediocre as well cause I have in the past but I wouldn't even say for me at least it's mediocre, it's just, nonexistent at the moment.
