A real big thanks for this info @Silver i will definately take the pointers into consideration when i do get the rope wick
Oops. Sorry for that post duplications. Not sure what went wrong there.
Dont worry, its fixed
The ol16 is an amazing little atty. And i now surely get the hype behind it. Could i ask a more "lit" photo of the mod please. I cant see the colors very nicely?
Oh wow. Thank you for photo. That mod looks beautiful.
Okay i need some help. I recoiled on sunday and started getting dry hits with this coil setup.
What have i done wrong?
I just had to stop and clean it so unfortunately i took out the cotton.
Did i mount the coil wrong or could it be that it was over wicked? Or am i missi g something. I did remember the less is more with wicking rule but i dont understand the dry hits.
I am considering a recoil that will be a center mounted setup
Please help.

Yeah, center mounted will be better imo. Difficult to see from the picture, but the coil might be too high. I have the top of the coil in line with the top of the posts, using a 2.5 mm ID.
I have just removed the coil. Going to do a new center mounted coil. It works better and i can have a “bigger” coil in it this way.
@antonherbst, after you wick, fluff out the tails of the cotton with your tweezer and cut to size. The tail ends must just touch the deck. I agree with @Andre for single coil a centre coil will work better, but a bit more tricky to build. You can also try a dual coil, my favourite. 0.3 ohm 12 mg nic....hehe
So this happened to my OL16 white drip tip a while ago. Been meaning to post.
I have no clue how it happened. One day I picked it up and felt it was broken on my lips. Maybe it fell down without me knowing when I packed it in a cupboard. But I do not recall it falling on the floor ever.
It's a small chunk of the driptip on the end of it that has been gouged out.
Quite upset about it because I quite liked the feel of this stock tip. I can still use it but it's not as nice as when it was undamaged.
Does anyone know where a replacement could be found and whether these tips are prone to being damaged quite easily?

Eina. I feel your pain @Silver
I am expecting a @hands tip soon for my ol16. When it arrives i can send you mine? Or drop it off.
I had a similar incident when i dropped my mod. Ol16 tip took the knock. I was also upset and the tip was never the same afterwards.So this happened to my OL16 white drip tip a while ago. Been meaning to post.

Thanks @antonherbst - that is very kind of you
I am going to see if I have another drip tip that will suit it - and perhaps I may also go for a Hands tip.
But if not, I will contact you and may take you up on the offer
I want to know for the OL16 vapers where do you find your coil sweet spot for a airy vape?
Wire type?
Gauge?
Wraps?
ID?
Mounted? side, center or dual?
I have a pretty nice spot but it feels like i can get more. Please help with advice.

Thanks sl much @antonherbst , very lind of you
Coincidentally I got my Reo Red / OL16 back in rotation this evening
(Posted in the what did you vape today thread)
I put on the Merlin Mini tip and its very nice, working very well and very comfortable.
Unless you need that tip for something else, maybe can you hang on to it a bit. Let me see how i go and if you still dont need it by the vape meet I may just get it from you. Will let you know
I will pack it in the day of the vape meet. But if you want it earlier just drop me a line and i can come drop it off with you in jhb.
Hi Anton. Going to try answer your build question.
I am not an expert on the OL16. I have only tried a few builds. Havent experimented with various wire types or exotics. Only Kanthal for now because I know it.
My standard build I always start with is my typical 1.6mm ID 28g 7 wrapper. That didnt feel right on the OL16. I needed a bit more juice so went bigger on the ID and found it good at 2mm.
I prefer 28g (to for example 26g) because it gives me a crisper vape. You might like a more dense vape on 26g
I must admit i find it quite difficult building on this atty because I am not very nimble with dual coils and only two post fastening points. Probably why i havent experimented too much.
Anyhow, my coil position is nearish to the edge and quite high up. I found on the RM2 higher up gives me a bit more throat hit so my thinking is that will do that here too.
Am using CB2 wick - not too tight or loose, just snug. Wicks touch the floor but dont go snaking anywhere on the deck. This wick draws up the fluid very nicely.
You can see here on the photo below, the coil is in the upper half of the airhole.
With regard to airflow and power, in my opinion the OL16 suits a mildly powered restricted lung hit.
I use it with the biggest airflow setting but its still quite restricted.
My dual coil is 0.5 ohms, so about 30 Watts of power or 15Watts each coil.
Its a small atty so i think it excels at flavour and doesnt need much power to do this.
You could try push it harder and build to free up airflow to get a bit more out of it but my feeling is that its not needed.
For me its superb on longish restricted draws and medium power and i find it suits the single battery
Not sure if that answers your question but i hope it helps

@Silver & @antonherbst - ok so that is what I will do tonight - let’s see how it goes

Nearly two years I know and I might have missed the answers to my question coming up....but here goes anyway.
I just had a look at the video on how you burn clean it and it looks like a winner.
So @Andre
1. How long can a wick last before you have to replace it.
2. More importantly, how do you get this considering they are not allowed to export it.
Ok I'm beaten - the detail is too tiny for my eyes - especially at night - will try another day.
