You're going to love building the Origen! :lol: It's not that bad, it does vape nicely to my taste though some will find the draw tight.
Holmes RDA $32.99 - VividSmoke.com

Enjoy your new stuffs :)

Built the Origen in the last hour (or so). Feeling very smart!! :2cool:

15 wraps of NI200 on a 3mm screwdriver, just to get a sense of whether I might be able to dual coil, easily, or not. Put the first build on my Ohm Reader showing .21 ohms. Dats workable as a single coil and potentially a dual :), I thought.

Yet, this first attempt was a bust 'cause I found it too difficult to get a tweezers into the well to pull the KGD through. (I know about the "fishing" trick, but remember we are dealing with the very malleable NI 200.) Idea!, why don't you try placing the KGD into the coil before turning it to attach to the negative post. "Okay, I'll give it a try". Lights, camera...ACTION! :2cool:

The coil goes down with almost no difficulty. Checked to be sure there is no wire touching the deck or posts and the legs are as short as possible. All's good.

Double-check the resistance...juice it...put it on the VS dna 40...vape it. Impressive!!!

No where did I say I was upset.

I just want the one I already paid for. At the fast rate VS is reducing prices they're making money hand over fist while we're still waiting for them to receive their shipment so they can ship to us. The wait makes me feel like I'm buying from Fasttech.

Apparently we have different happy places! :lol:

Congrats jazz, glad you like the wee smexy Origen. Thanks for the report! I had the same "idea" after my build, great to hear that it works.:vapor:

So I received my dna40 and russian combo today. Haven't tried building yet because I quickly encountered an issue with the russian. When I was taking out the post screws to get things ready for cleaning, the first twist moved the positive deck. I tried tightening the 510 post but that didn't seem to help. Not to mention the 510 pin seems very recessed and I'm worried about it making a good connection. Are there any fixes for this. Right now I'm regretting buying the russian....really hope I can fix this.

This is a well known issue with the R91 V2.

You can search the forum(s) for "Hard short Russian 91" or check my recent posts on the subject...one moment please. Here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...699270.html?highlight=hard+short#post14699270 and here, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...687232.html?highlight=hard+short#post14687232

If you need more specific help, just holler.

Unscrew the 510 screw. Under it is the post that holds the positive block in place. Mine was loose too.

I just did a simple build using organic cotton and what I believe is the 32 gauge wire that came with it. First build ever actually.

So far, working well!

Yeah I read a thread about that but when I take the 510 pin out there is nothing. The 510 pin screws directly into the deck.

My rDNA 40 kit (with Russian 91% and black sharkskin) arrived yesterday evening. It was ordered during the Cyber Monday sale!

This is insane to me...... I ordered my rdna40 on November 25th..... That's the Tuesday before cyber Monday......and mine hasn't even shipped yet.

New Holiday pricing: rDNA 30=$139.99.....DNA 30=99.99

I love the little 30

I just saw the email from Vaporshark for this pricing, very nice! I don't see an expiration on this deal so I think that this is perhaps the new standard pricing...and to think I could have saved $20 on my DNA30 by waiting a few short weeks. The pricing on the rDNA 30 is very close to the price on Cyber Monday.

So I'm running into the same issue as others were having with tightening the center post....the insulator is soft and its tilting the positive deck the more I tighten it. Seems to be Fat Daddy kayfun/russian 510 overhaul kit is the fix. Just sucks having this problem out of the box.

What you need to do is hold the positive block with a channel lock or pliers while screwing in the (actual) positive pin...
