Reviewer comments on business characteristics

I will not speak here of the atomizers of the genesis V2 type (and now V2 mk II in 4 or 6 ml) of this moderator who knows a world notoriety. With a modern look and impeccable finish quality, the V3 is in appearance similar to its brethren, except the tank.

For a high price, we could have found it normal that it had been properly conditioned. This is absolutely not the case and it is regrettable. This atomizer, due to its remarkable design and its design combining the useful and the pleasant has of course already been cloned and without entering into controversy, know that for a more than modest price, the Chinese offer a copy (notorious counterfeit) in a cardboard box! It's rudimentary, of course, but better than nothing. That being said, not to praise a counterfeit but just to point out the unfortunate difference in packaging.

A little wonder of finishing!

The top, if it is of the same material as the other visible parts, is distinguished by its "anodized" aesthetic. Once mounted, the ato therefore presents two distinct aspects: shiny for the top-cap, the airflow ring and the tank cover, and a rather matt 2mm thick ring which corresponds to the "floor" of the plate on which the tank cover ring fits perfectly.

The 5 heat dissipating fins reveal the conical design of the heating chamber. 4 other fins of smaller diameter cover the top-cap and provide additional ventilation to the base of the drip-tip.

The positive pin is not adjustable in height (from the 510 connection).

The fixing of the positive "tabs" of the resistors can first be screwed on manually. For negative "legs", the supplied Allen key is essential. The seals perfectly perform their function of maintaining the assemblies. The vents adjustment ring is, once adjusted, definitively positioned by screwing the top-cap which holds it firmly. How well thought out this is!

Impeccably realized, here is finally enough to justify the price of this ato, a jewel without box.

Functional features

  • Connection type: 510
  • Adjustable positive plot? No, a flush mount can only be guaranteed through an adjustment of the positive pad of the battery or the mod on which it will be installed
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, and variable
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 2.5
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 1.2
  • Air regulation positioning: Lateral positioning and benefiting resistors
  • Atomization chamber type: Conventional / reduced
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Excellent

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The working space of the tray (only difference with the genesis versions) is clear, despite a small rim around the perimeter of the tank. It is easy to mount the coils there.

The high position of the clamping of the positive pin with respect to those of the negative studs makes the making of horizontal coils difficult, even downright painful, (a length of "tab" of the resistance can lead to errors in values ​​and a hot spot detrimental to everything. points of view). Prefer a vertical assembly, you can choose your hairline: cotton, FF, mesh….

The advantage of vertical mounting lies in the small space occupied by the capillary in the tank, thus leaving a larger useful volume for the liquid. As much the cotton will be a problem to pass from top to bottom without too much packing the area of ​​the turns, there is no problem with the FF or the mesh.

Origen V3 vc

During assembly, the capillaries at the high resistance output must not protrude too much, otherwise they will be shriveled by the heating chamber. Leave 2mm below the top of the fixing of the "legs" of the positive pin and stay plumb with the lights of the tank (2mm from the inside edge of the chamber). The inside diameter of the resistance can vary from 2 to 3,5mm.

Like many drippers, the Origen has side vents. They are well raised compared to the tank (2mm for the largest) but subject to the loss of juice in the event of too strong inclination of the set. Tank filled, forget to lay it flat. The choice of a simple coil on the other hand allows greater freedom of movement or positions at rest, as long as you find a way to put a cylindrical mod without it rolling, or that you position the vent correctly (for a flat box).

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? No, the vapoteur will have to acquire a compatible drip-tip, in order to be able to use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: No drip tip present
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: No present drip tip

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

We will be short, if you do not mind. Note, however, that the choice of the drip tip for which you will opt should take into account the proximity of the positive pin clamping cap. A base too long and you will block the drawdown

Evaluation of the packaging

  • Presence of a box accompanying the product: No
  • Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? We make fun of us!
  • Presence of a user manual? No
  • Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? No
  • Does the manual explain ALL features? No

Vapelier's note on packaging: 0.5 / 5 0.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Again it is better to keep it short, since there is absolutely nothing to say except that everything is in bulk in a small zipped pocket and that you will need internet to advantageously replace the absence of instructions ….

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the mod of the test configuration: Nothing helps, requires a shoulder bag
  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy but requires a workspace
  • Filling facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
  • Easy to change resistors: Easy but requires a workspace to lose nothing
  • Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of EJuice? Yes perfectly
  • Have there been any leaks after a day of use? Yes
  • In the event of leaks during tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occurred

Tank full, you really have to be careful not to fold the set. It is a dripper and it is not designed like the Red Dragon (Youde) to prevent the juice from flowing through the vents. When the level has dropped, the problems disappear in a “normal” tilt situation. By using cotton in single horizontal coil, tank abundantly filled (with cotton), there is no more flow if you do not leave your material lying down for an hour… ..

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 2.3 / 5 2.3 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

My tests of horizontal coils proved to be inconclusive. I go over the details that were briefly mentioned above. Vertical coils, on the other hand, are one of the most effective solutions.

Between 0.4 and 1,2 ohm, this ato is a pure treat, flavor oriented you will understand. Its reduced heating chamber keeps the vapor produced concentrated and due to its dome shape, any condensate plunges back to the tray.

The use of cellulose fiber (FF2) is a winning option from every point of view: excellent capillarity, little fiber in the tank, therefore more liquid, no dry-hit. I make 3mm diameter coils, 0,30 stainless steel, tight turns, without any heating.

The plumbness of the coil and the light of the tank, if it is properly respected, has 2 advantages: help with capillarity and optimum distance from the vent ring (2mm). With 4 different openings, lovers of tight vape, such as air, will find their "sweet-spot", without however claiming to power-vaping, this ato is not intended for that. I also specify that the ring of the vents has a meaning during the assembly for the correspondence of the vents. 

The simple coil design is very interesting to give the dripper an option of autonomy with a moderate vape and values ​​between 0,6 and 1,0 ohm. Either way, you'll get the most out of the flavors of your liquids.

The Origen is a tasting dripper, better suited to vaping at home than for mop or work due to its design. Cleaning with cold water suits him well. Its drying without the coils is very easy. You will need to bring the cotton swab. In all the resistance value configurations tested (0,4 - 0,5 - 0,6 - 0,7 - 0,8 - 1 - 1,2 ohm), the ato heats up from normally to very moderately (more than 0,4 obviously than at 1,2), the cooling fins are effective both for the top-cap and for the drip-tip. In addition, they give all its aesthetic originality to this dripper, in my opinion the best proportioned of the Origen v2 series. 

Recommendations for use

  • With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
  • Which mod model is it recommended to use this product with? A mechanic (with the right batteries) or all types of electro up to 50W
  • With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
  • Description of the test configuration used: at 0,6 ohm in vertical coil, FF2 at 25W the absolute treat… .for me of course.
  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: Between 0,5 and 1 ohm in vertical coil and FF2

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Go for it if your means allow it, the reputation of the Hungarian moderator Norbert is not usurped. Innovating in a dripper becomes quite tricky and it is a must, not revolutionary but simply excellent, significantly improved from V1. You will probably rediscover your liquids with this little gem, it will not disappoint you if you take care of your coils.

 

to your comments and see you soon.
