You using kanthal @Rob Fisher ?

What's the OL16 not doing for you?
Not enough throat hit?
Flavour muted?
Perhaps we can assist with some more details.
What worked for me was putting the coils as close to the posts as possible & also as high as possible @Rob Fisher
If you're using the cloud cap.... you should be able to see the bottom half of the coil in your air holes...
Dual coils. kanthal 24g. 2.5mm Id .6 wraps.... comes to 0.22 @Rob Fisher
BTW you were spot on with the serpent mini 25mm. Thanks for that @Rob Fisher . I now own 3 of them.
@Rob Fisher, I use 26Awg SS and 26awg ni 80.
Both atty's have 2.5mm ID dual coils.
6 or 7 wraps per coil.
I mainly vape dessert style flavours these days. Perhaps try some foggs famous sauce in the builds suggested and possibly a single micro coil for the XXX.

@Rob Fisher can't you try a different juice in that atty? Maybe XXX is not made for the Ol16. Also lift those coils up a little. There is nothing wrong with that build. I know because I build it.

I'm using 26G Nichrome 80 2.5mm ID and 8/7 wraps each coil. Comes to 0.38 Ohm
XXX tastes great for me @Rob Fisher.
Make sure the wick tails are short, just touching the deck and there is a gap between the wick tails. You should be able to see through the airholes from one side to the other, and also see the bottom half of your coils.
@Rob Fisher, I find cotton bacon mutes fruits and menthols. Have you tried wicking with rayon?
@Rob Fisher, I am currently vaping.....while tiping Tropical Ice 12 mg in my Ol 16. My flavour is awsome. My favourite build in all my OL16 is: Ni80, 26 ga, 1.5mm, 6 wraps. I use the largest air holes, or the ones just smaller. I try to align my coils so I get airflow straight onto them. To high the spitback is not so nice. I prefer 28ga SS but when I dry burn my coils when smoking tobacco's it tends to burn. IMO after my Snapdragon this is definitely my most desirable atty. Try giving it another go, but with dual micro coils.
That suggestion to try Foggs (or something other than XXX) is a good one... XXX in my cCell tanks and Serpent Mini 25's is just so perfect... I have tried many BF atties to try get the same flavour with XXX and the closest I have come to decent flavour is the Petri. I think you may be onto something here @Christos.
I always use XXX to test new hardware because I know the juice so intimately and it gives me a real good feel for the hardware but Squonking XXX has been a big fail for me for some reason.
I haven't tried it this time in the OL16 but I will give it a go.
That's the problem for me... I am as happy as Larry with Tropical Ice in my REO's with Divo's on top... I really don't need another atty for Tropical Ice... I'm after a squonking atty for XXX. But I will play with Tropical Ice in the OL16 along with some other juices I like other than XXX.
Tonight I tried @SAVapeGear 's build, but with one extra wrap, and coils slightly elevated like @Deckie suggested.
I'm really liking it so far, but will give it a few days side-by-side with the original build. This one is a smidgeon less lively but the vape is still on the warm side and flavour is really great too. I think it came in a little under 0.3 ohms.
So far these two atties haven't left my only two Reo Grands and have been used daily. I've sold two Cyclones and a Cyclops - kept just one Cyclone which is sitting on my (still sick) Woodvil. I'd love to try out some of the other flavor-chasing RDA's like the Divo, Hornet, Nipple & Snap Dragon. For now though, I'm very content with these little Origens... until the next Reo

I have to agree with you. I have stopped using my cyclones all together and use the OL16s daily. I haven't sold the cyclones because well I figured who would want a cyclone when there are Ol16s available.
I was never fond of dual coils and love the single coil simplicity of the cyclone but the dual coils in the OL16 make it a winner in the flavour department.
Twas @Andre that went full Ol16 and preached about them for a while.
Twas @Rob Fisher who arranged a Ol16 for me initially.
Twas @SAVapeGear that made them available commercially and locally for me when I wanted more!
Any luck @Rob Fisher?
Nope not yet... am waiting for the cloud cap and custom drip tip before trying again... but I think I need to try juices other than XXX.
Very Nice @Rob Fisher ,I need some of these.
And still my atty of choice, @Christos.
Uncle @Rob Fisher , consider this build for XXX in the OL16.
2.5mm ID 26Gauge NI80 and 9/8 wraps. Comes out to 0.43 Ohms for me
Coil placement in line with top of post and cotton barely touching the deck. There must be a gap between the cotton under the coils.
This is just one extra wrap as mention by @SAVapeGear and myself earlier, but it is a slightly cooler vape and you tend to get more flavour from XXX, IMO.
Roger that @Lushen will try that when my Cloud Cap and Custom Drip tip arrives from Kokstad! Thanks!
