Thanks @Petrus - maybe i will try a 1.6mm ID with the same wire
I have this trusty screwdriver which is 1.59mm in diameter and its my most valuable mandrel. It has a special spot in my vape den. If I lost that I would cry. So thats my minimum ID I usually go.
@Ash - the interesting thing about this is to try where possible to vary just one thing at a time - and then not to decide until one has used it for a while. One is tempted to make a call on something within a minute, but often I need more time to live with it and sleep on it. And try it in different situations. That is painful because it takes forever to get anywhere.... Its one of the reasons I am scared to get into DIY properly.... Lol

You have to make them! @SAVapeGear had some awesome baby claptons for the OL16'S. Perhaps I'll post pics if I get a chance today.
I am just thinking, can't @RiaanRed make someting for us???? I think here is enough guys with OL16 and similar atty's for baby claptons. What do you think @Christos @Clouds4Days @Andre @Silver @incredible_hullk @Sir Vape @Deckie @Rob Fisher @SAVapeGear
I have all the tools to make myself. Been practicing making alien coils and I am getting good at it.
@Petrus you could get the coils made and I'm sure @RiaanRed will assist.
If you have the time and would like to make them I'll give you a walk through of what you should get.
Just as rewarding as making a DIY juice which is better than a store bought juice.
Expect some dissapoint ment and a lot of wasted wire but very rewarding if you have patience.

The straight claptons are very easy and no wastage there. Just insert wires and off it goes on its own and done.I admire you @Christos . I would like to try some off them. Winner my friend
The fancy stuff needs practice and patience.
@Petrus - please start an OL16 request thread inside RiaanRed's subforum - then we can all discuss it there including him
And lets try keep this thread on the RM2
A bit off the topic, but I think I sort of mastered the DIY scene. I got about 12 dedicated juices I am making alllllll 12mg and it is just perfect for my liking. I like coil building, but all that thin wire is like first time fishing with a Penn reel, always time for a mess-up
Thanks to @Petrus for the suggestion
I recoiled the RM2 yesterday and stuck to the 28g Kanthal Kidney Puncher wire
Parallel coil - 5 double wraps as before
But this time I made the ID 1.6mm instead of 1.8mm as before
Ohms was 0.36
It is a lot better, crisper and nicer for me. (Am vaping Blackbird tobacco.)
Its still not quite as crisp as the same coil with the thinner 29g wire, but i wanted to try this Kidney Puncher wire and i only have 28g
Thanks @Petrus - it is a lot better and I will gladly vape this for a while. The 1.8mm was too wet and juicy and not crisp enough so I had to take it out.
Amazing what this slight difference makes to the vape.

Reo Black got a new coil this afternoon.
Decided to go back to my all time favourite for MTL tobacco - the 29ga Kanthal paracoil
5 double wraps - 1.6mm ID - measuring 0.43 ohms. Positioned so the airhole is near the bottom of the coil.
Wicked up with Jap Cotton. Love this for my tobacco vapes
Lubed up and trimmed slightly. Just lubed with 18mg PGVG because Blackbird is in rations.
Firing nicely and with loads of vigour. It is instant.
And finally - what a vape indeed. My best tobacco MTL setup. Thumper is thumping
In the bottle is 18mg PGVG , 10 drops of VM menthol and about 1ml of Blackbird. Divine.
Am preferring this coil to the 28g Kidney Puncher - the 29g is more instant and crisper.

Now that is a classic Reo @Silver.
And the RM2 is THE classic Reo atty. They do what they were meant to do very well for MTL.
They are not really my thing (despite having 8-9 of them)... I only used those that were drilled out for DLH's occasionally. Now days only the brass one custom made for Calamity Jane by Robert when they were both new gets used sometimes. After the 5-6 previous owners that had the combo before me they are beat up/warped. But they still vape like a million dollars, and along with my other OG Reos I consider these a classic combo.
Thanks for sharing @Spydro
Indeed, the RM2 is a great atty
For strong tobaccoes, I only do MTL and for me this little atty is a major winner. It has such great flavour and superb throat hit. I have tried several other MTL options but nothing so far has dethroned the RM2 for strong tobaccoes.

Lol, I overheard the guys in the cottage next to us saying:
"Tjek daai tannie - sy vape!"
Ha ha
As hulle net kan weet - wat hierdie tannie vergeet het moet julle stil leer

An ode to 'Thumper'
She just got a new wick, refill and battery.
Tiny but ferocious
'Rocket fuel' brown Blackbird menthol blend matched up with fresh brown battery
There she is , drip tip off, ready to rumble...
Fiery, instant, noisy... lovely...
It's funny I still get excited just before the first toot after a fresh pitstop. Almost the same as nearly three years ago
Aye, Reo Black aka 'Thumper' you will always be my 18mg tobacco MTL precious....
What a reliable performer. What MTL flavour. It's just bliss!

Hi @Amir
You can check the RM2 thread which details not only my build but many others.
For me the best build for my MTL tobaccoes is a paracoil
1.6mm small ID
29g Kanthal (thinner wire for crisper vape)
5 double wraps
Comes out at about 0.45 ohms
Jap cotton or CB2 wick
The paracoil gets more surface area (like a dual) and keeps the resitance down. For me it works well on the RM2
For some reason the airflow hole in the RM2 I’ve got doesn’t allow for air to pass directly in line or beneath the coil... it’s sort of just off the post a hair... is this normal?
I figured I’d give the RM2 a shot while hunting down an ol16 but the misaligned airflow kinda threw me off. I went with 8 wraps 26g ni80 on a 2mm bit as a starter but then just left it unfinished
