Why don't you guys just go the web site and order? It was a piece of cake!
Oh I guess there may have been a shipping saving...
The shipping saving always helps...

Infact, I saw the thread early today and got so stuck in work......almost pull the triger but yes a group buy has some savings.
Sorry guys @DoubleD takes the prize. As a matter of interest @Rob Fisher how much is direct shipping?
If the guys are patient and I enjoy the atty I'm be willing to look into a 2nd group buy where we get OL 16's.

Shipping was €20.35
Geez, that's not bad at all. It's roughly the price we are paying between 6 people.
@DoubleD, gongrats my friend. Enjoy.
I'm back in the O16 thread... have to pop out for a short while but will come back and go through the thread looking for the right setup and then will build it.
Now Im just getting jelly!
Nice one @Rob Fisher
Really looking forward to your findings on this atty.

OK landed cost was R1,312.96 and this included shipping and no customs or duty or Vat and they delivered to my door in record time!
Now it's time to build and test... and I'm going right out of my comfort zone until you fine people describe your best build for the O16.
I'm using a single Clapton 0.85Ω and ReadyXwick just like the picture I saw from @Andre. I'm vaping Tropical Ice as I do in my REO's but I think I may need to switch to XXX because this may be a too severe vape. But let's persevere.

Wow this puppy gets really hot... I'm finding Tropical Ice pretty severe and may need to switch to XXX sooner rather than later. Maybe I need to switch to rayon because I'm trying ReadyXwick and not sure if that's changing the flavour a bit... I'm also over squonking I think because I'm inhaling some juice... Also seems to be most comfortable with the two big holes open and lung hitting... I may also need to build a different coil because I'm not sure the single 18650 is going to drive this clapton for very long... Will play till the advice starts to flow.
On that Clapton I use just a single air hole open, one of the bigger ones. But ramp up is relatively slow and you have to take long, slow hits - MTL in my case.
I mostly build 27 g Kanthal single contact coils with 2.5 mm ID at around 0.8 - 0.9 ohms for my MTL, using a single air hole.
With RxW you do need to give it a bit of time, usually great after the first dry burn of coil with wick.
I have switched to Tropical Ice Cloud Version... opened to the two biggest holes and life is improving dramatically... I'm going to persevere with ReadyXwick this time because the thought of a coil and wick that only needs to be changed every few months does appeal to me a little.
But I will rebuild a 27g Kanthal Coil in a day or so after giving the Clapton and ReadyXwick and full go...
@Rob Fisher , if you have try some 26ga Ni80 wire. The ramp time is super quick and the vape is fantastic.
I mostly use 26 KA1 & Ni80, 28 Ni80 & 27 KA1 wire, 2.5mm & 3.0mm dual or single builds in my four O-16's. I always run the two largest intake holes wide open for my lung hits, and run mine on the Reo Mini 1.0's.

Don't just give it a day or so rob,you have enough squonkers so just leave it in there,once you have that Clapton and rxw bedded in its good.Rip it out too quick you won't find out
Yip that is the plan... last time I never gave it much of a chance... this time I'm going to test it in a few configs...
That's good,I find the 18650 is fine for the Claptons,the Tigers are also just about ok,I love being able to re wick only every 3 months or so!
@Genosmate, I'm not a fan of claptons because the spit back is terrible.
I once burned my wife in bed (she was sleeping) while vaping claptons. Horrible spit back
@Rob Fisher, any thoughts on flavour in comparison to a cyclone while I patiently wait for next weeks arrival of an OL 16?

@Christos right now there is no comparison and it's a completely different vape as I'm playing with clapton's and ReadyXwick on a REO which I have never done before... I'm also running with wide open airflow because I am enjoying direct lung hits... after this setup has been tested for a few days I will go with a more conservative build and give it a Cyclone type build test.
I have no choice but to exercise patience
I'm a creature of habit, so any new device gets the standard SS build between 1 to 3 iterations. If the first coil does the job I don't bother playing anymore and that becomes the regular build.
In the interest of trying new things I would say you did the right thing off the bat.
@Spydro has a timeless principle that applies here: KISS.
Keep it simple stupid.
Also another relevant principle borrowed from the IT industry: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I normally do do that... me and my 1,5mm micro coils... but I'm looking for more and different these days because I have my REO's with Divo's that are just perfect for me and then my army of ceramic coiled tanks that are also perfect... with all the positive feedback (especially from my Guru @Andre) on the O16 I am going to play a lot before giving up on it this time.
