The O-16 is a very easy flavor atty with the right build for the joose ran it in. So brother @Rob Fisher, to paraphrase you on the SM25 thread... don't give up on the O-16. I commented about the O-16 in a reply to one of your posts there concerning it that may or may not be of help.

This is my latest build and I will be sticking with it.
Flavor is so intense.Airflow excellent for full lung hits and clouds on par with some of the big boys.
This is just the best atty for a Reo,Leprechaun or other small regulated squonkers. It even works great on the Therion BF.
I love my OL16s. I have 5 of them now.
Here is some of the pics I did while rebuilding them tonight.
I use UD SS316L,26Ga,9 wraps,2.5mm ID,coming in at 0.25ohm. With a Full battery at 4.2V it hits like a beast and I change batteries at about 3.7V.
Using Cotton Bacon V2. Wick it so that it just touches the deck.
Amazing !!!!!!!
See pics attached for alignment etc.

I need to try my OL16 on a mod that can take a stronger battery. These 18500s in my Reo Mini max out at 15A so I won't build lower than 0,7ohm.
Flavour is good, but I think that putting it on something that can take an 18650 VTC4 will change the game.
I'll rebuild lower and try it on my Therion BF tomorrow.

Next time you re-wick, I'd be interested to see a couple of pics with CB2
@SAVapeGear, lovely build. I did a similar build in my one OL 16, but wick it with Kendo Gold because of the bigger ID. Once your wick is saturated flavour for days. Try it Pieter you will like.
@SAVapeGear, I've got a OL16 on my dna 200 squonker and I prefer it over a bigger atty.
As stated it performs like a big boy

I have been looking forward to this for quite some time.
Tonight was the night to try out the new OL16 which has been waiting patiently
I decided to go for a relatively simple build and use a juice I know pretty well which I like for lung hits.
Decided on a 28g Kanthal dual. 6 wraps each. 2mm ID. Was expecting 0.5 ohms but it came out at 0.4.
Build was relatively easy for a first build. I put the coils fairly close to the centre and a tad higher than the airholes.
The juice is 'Lime Ice' my DIY juice. It has menthol so I decided on Rayon for wick
I tried to keep the wicks fairly short. But I think they were a bit long. On the one side they were snaking a bit on the base.
Here she is lubed up and ready
I went for the dual large air holes. Very nice the way this atty works. Here is a coil peeping through the one airhole:
And voila - here is REO Red with the OL16! Nuppin V2 came off to make way for the OL16.
So how is the vape?
Wow, this is amazing. Probably my best vape on a first build of any BF atty to date.
It's very good. Has quite a smooth feel to it. Superb flavour. My word the flavour is so real and vivid. It's like the lung hit version of my RM2. I am smiling.
The draw on the big airholes is great. Not massive airflow but a medium lung hit. Super. Suits me just fine.
Squonks very well. And handles the action with ease.
I don't like the look of the white drip tip. I tested several others but I like the way this tip vapes the most. In second place was the Odin router tip.
All you guys who raved about this atty are spot on. @Andre, @Spydro, @Petrus, @Christos, @Lushen to name a few. @Andre , thanks for your OP. I reviewed it first to get some bearings. And I agree with you @Christos this is an easy atty to get right fairly quickly. Well it was my first attempt and I am quite taken aback actually.
My first impression is rock solid and I am looking very forward to spending more time with this little incredible atty.

I forgot to mention that i bought this OL16 from @SAVapeGear - and thank him greatly for bringing this super device in.

Nice build @Silver and glad you are enjoying it.
I build with 26g NI80, 2.5mm, haven't tried any 28G and 2mm. But you should raise your coil to be in line with the top of the posts.
It makes a diff to the flavor for me.
Thanks @Lushen
I am quite amazed at how good the vape is on this build with this juice. I know this juice well.
My thinking on the 2mm was that I normally do 1.6mm because I like a crisper vape. But i see most folks doing 2.5mm on here so I thought I will go up a bit to 2mm. So far its lovely. Crisp enough.
Will move the coils higher when I next rewick and report back
So glad the first build is/was as rewarding as mine, yours is just prettier!I have been looking forward to this for quite some time.

This atty is simply the beez kneez
!
Tried XXX this weekend and wasn't great with dual coil or single 26g nichrome. So ripped that out and put a single 24 nichrome 2.4 id 8 wrap. Ended of as 0.5ohm, much better.
Way to go @Silver. I use duals (around 0.4 ohms) for my tobaccos and single (around 0.8 ohms) for most other juices. MTL, with a smaller bore drip tip.

Firstly, damn sexy mod
and I love the DT.That is an interesting build. Does the atty get hot with 24G NI80? Or do you leave the airholes open on both sides (biggest airhole)?
I tried 24G single coil and the atty just got too hot for me

It does get hot but feels similar in heat to the dual 26g. Will give it more time and let you know. The flavor is much better though.
Great first impressions @Silver and very nice pics of the build. Was wondering when you were going to report back on this little guy! I'm enjoying the friction-fit dotmod drip tips with the OL16 - great flavor, short, and wider inner diameter than a standard 510 dt.
Thanks @KB_314
Just have been so busy and the Serpent mini and Avo sidetracked me
Thanks for the advice on the dotmod drip tip. Post us a photo when you get a chance
@Silver, all four of my O-16's use SynerVape BillowPro big and wide bore stubby tapered slip fit drip tips... in black or white Delrin, SS, naval brass or copper. I run them on many of my other BF atty's, RDA's, etc as well.
