I cannot agree more. Every atty/ build on every mod is unique to my specific flavour. That is the main reason for all my Squonkers. I don't ever mix my flavours or atty's.Tried this build last night thanks @SAVapeGear . This build also took me out of my comfort zone. The lowest I usually build is around 0.45 ohms. I had some SS316L 26g lying around from my time experimenting with TC. I put together this build and it came out to about 0.26 ohms on the tab. I wicked with CBv2, fired it up.....and wow. The flavour was on point for the strawberry and the pistachio. The milked, while improved, was still not on par with my other atty
. I`ve found a new atty/build for my Banana Cream
I will keep trying different builds and see if it gets any better

Yip, I also decided against a P67. Do not like the side button with locking inside. Side buttons are for careful people. Also do not want to keep another set of spares. Went for the economy model last time round and no regrets.Something else about this atty that differs from the Cyclones and RM2 (my only real frame of reference) - the drainage back into the squonker bottle is fantastic.
The Cyclone is very very good too, a lot better than the RM2 for me, and the soft touch required for the Cyclone (even without an Italian bottle) took some getting used to. But the OL16 is even better. Drainage is very quick, almost instant, and squonking requires an extremely soft touch if you have the Italian bottles especially. One fairly short squonk is enough for me even on SAVapeGears .25 build.
The juice comes right up between the two coils, and if you are using a high VG, thick liquid, it actually comes up over the coils and falls over the wicks, hitting them from the top more than the bottom - a lot like dripping. I'm not sure if this impacts the vaping experience in any way, but it's something new to me. I don't think it wicked this way on a dual coil build in the Cyclops.
Will it retire the Cyclones... the big test will be running it in single coil mode on a mtl build. I'm guessing that it will, but who knows. I can safely say that my Cyclops, which I never thought I'd sell (and which once belonged to @Andre if I remember correctly), will appear in the classies as soon as I can get my hands on another OL16. I'm now less interested in 22mm atties for the Reo, and because of that not certain I am gonna go for a P67. Another Grand would be less expensive, even more so if it were the economy model... hmm
Currently running SAVapegears build on my OL16. I cracked and got a second one which I'm keen to make a build for tonight. Below are the materials I have on hand - would really appreciate any advice on a good flavour-chasing build:
Kanthal A1 24g/26g/28g
SS316L 26g/28g
Ni80 28g only
Roll of UD Clapton (Kanthal)
Few lengths of SS316L Alien Clapton
Only have Japanese cotton for wicking atm (and some Rayon in the box I'm sure)

Very nice.
My suggestion is a parallel 28g Kanthal coil. I take about 12" of it, fold it in half and then hand wrap 4 wraps on a 2.5mm coilmaster or around the shaft of a cotton swab (Q-Tip). Mine always come in around .45 ohms, which gives a nice flavorful hit for a single coil build.

Thanks @jifjifjif I was hoping for a single coil option seeing as I have duals in the other. And I'm embarrassed to say, but this will be my first parallel build
If you are using a fruity or menthol flavor, you can try my simple build:
26G Kanthal, 6/5 wraps on 2.5ID. I use the third largest hole and its flavor for days with VM XXX.
I definitely need to add some fruity to the line up. At the moment by juice-box is on the low side (largely due to the new OL's!) and I'm mainly vaping the ends of bakery flavours.
I am also busy building 2 x OL16s for some new incoming Reos.
But I am sticking to my builds.
SS316L Dual 2.5 ID,8 wraps at 0.22ohm and another one with 9 wraps at 0.25ohm.
SAPO just needs to work with me on this and deliver tomorrow.

Ok I'm now ready for my first parallel coil and gonna give the @jifjifjif build a bash! I'll report back
The more the merrier though, so please keep sharing if you have other suggestions

27g kanthal, 5 and 4 wrap parallel, 2.5 id, 0.41ohm.
Previous coil was a 5 wrap 24g 2.5 id. Waste of wire.
That just looks and feels right for me!27g kanthal, 5 and 4 wrap parallel, 2.5 id, 0.41ohm.
It's just the opposite for me in that I like the side button Reos the best. It has nothing at all to do with "careful" ... I almost never lock any of my Reos off so they can't fire. With my normal routine I have no need to lock them off 99.99% of the time day or night, and rarely do so even with one in a shirt pocket when out running errands. My 4 P67's get used a lot, the 17 top button metal Reos seldom get used anymore. I still use the side button OG VV Grand sometimes, and like the 10 side button Woodvil's. But I have only been using one of them the last few months.
I have O-16's on 3 of the P67's, but may also change out the Nuppin' on the 4th one with my other O-16 as well and semi-retire all the other Reos and bf atty's.
Yeah, I had a Woodvil fire in the drinks cup in my car. Now I lock them religiously.
Got my first Reo today! It's a blue mini 2.1 LP SL with a silver door.
Built up the OL16 with a spaced 10 wrap 2.5mm ID 28ga SS coil coming out to about 1ohm. The mini's batteries are max 15A so don't want to go under 0.5 ohm thus decided to start off higher and build down in time.
Using Paulie's Lemon Iced Tea at 3mg, it's am awesome vape. Flavour is a bit muted, but I imagine that's because of the ohms. I was dripping the same juice on my Velocity clone at 50w and the flavour there was amazing. I know the OL16 can do easily just as good.
I do like that the clouds are smaller so my wife can see the TV.
Oh, and this atty looks like it was made for this mod. Guess it's found it's home.

Congrats on the reo @spiv, I'm currently waiting for my p67 to use as a throne for my OL16, regarding the muted flavor, while I have no experience on the OL16 but based on my experience with a fair amount of drippers play around with the coil positioning, I found having the coil slightly higher rather than in line with the air hole makes a huge difference, let the bottom of the coil be about in the top half of your selected airhole or slightly higher than that. Good luck

Thanks @Moey_Ismail! It's so much better now. Opened both big airflows and raised the coils and it's got great flavour a good vapour production for such a high ohm coil. It's now my go-to "inside vape" device.
When I get my Leprechaun, I'll try a much lower resistance build. Heard that's even better.
Don't have 26g ni80 so tried twisted 28g; 5 wraps; 2.4id...NCV trinity tastes great like this.

Wow that is really a cheap price for a clone of a really expensive atty. I wonder how is the quality going to be on them.
How long do orders from FT take nowadays anyway? Pulled the trigger on this one, I'm sure the quality won't be a R1000 + difference.
