#98 & 99 were delivered today. Very nice quality atty and after a few minutes and a couple attempts to coil one, i got one up and running. I would say with the largest holes open it is about the same as the Nuppin' wide open air wise. Exceptionally easy to squonk and it drains completely. I will post pics of the build in a while.
So I've had a chance now to get both up and running. Both have matching 26g Ni80 6/7 wrap 2.5mm .4 duals in them. I would say this atty is very much on par with the Nuppin'. It runs just a little hotter and I think thats due to the size being 16mm. I would say the flavor is a notch better and vapor is about the same. Overall I think I am very satisfied with them so far and will be ordering a couple more. Here's a couple more pics.
I had an Atomic a while back and I think its reminiscent of it only in the air holes only. I remember the Atonic having the air holes just over the deck and below the post holes... The air flow on this is right at about post hole high maybe just over. I was worried about leaks originally because this is very similar to the Stumpy's that Tom from CAM had modded and the one I had didn't drain well at all and I had nothing but leaking problems with it. Needless to say it lasted about 3-4 days here and it was on its way to a new home via the classies... So far no leaking with these at all. They drain very well as I posted earlier. Better than the Stumpy did, IMO... I am diggin' them so far.
Great write up and pictures Muz. Good to hear about the 2.5mm dual builds working out well... that's the form size I wrapped the coils I have waiting to go in my 2 of these. And that you are eeing them as about on par with the Nuppin's is a bonus, what I was hoping for. Since I struggled after the fact to finally get 8 Nuppin's in hand it's maybe a safe bet I will be ordering at least a couple more of these while the getting them is hot (which means I'd need more Reos as well... a win-win ).
Friggin' new software...
No, you can use any drip tip you desire, or use any drip tip on top of the supplied mouth piece.

Thanks for the info!!!! "Muzic" to my ears ...warmer vape and flavor!!!! You dont' happen to own a Chalice do ya? If so, can you compare this to that?
Hey! You call'in me a tootie puffer??? Ok, I don't even know what that means
ETA...ok... Since no one helped me out, I had to look up this tootie or tootle puffer thing. LMAO! UMMMMM...no, not all Chalice users are Tootie puffers. I vape my Chalice II @ .60Ω and my Chalice III @ .50Ω.

Subjective question, but to agree with coaldriller I'll go out on a limb FWIW. I think the O-16 can do anything my favored Nuppin's can ... the RM2 can't, and it does it in a more compact package than either of them.
The RM2 has a slightly smaller chamber, the O-16 has way more build versatility/room. And the O-16 has a very versatile air control system that can be adjusted for any draw wanted (so can a Nuppin')... from as restricted as a single 1.2mm for MTL up to dual 2.5mm for cloud chasers. It's just as easy to easier to build than a RM2, and easier than a Nuppin'; and it can run more joose holding wick than the RM2 (so less squonking) without blocking the drain.
The only RM2 I am running right now has it's air intake drilled large. It is on my OG VVG so it's single coil is not a sub ohm build. It still has way too restrictive air flow for my LDLH's, but the single coil produces great flavor. My O-16's both have duals in them so naturally I'm getting way more of everything from them over any RM2 build. But IMO with a single coil they would easily out perform the RM2 for my uses. I like the aesthetics of more compact atty's on Reos better too.
Thanks for the great review, I'm a newb when it come to the Reo/RM2, only been using them for 2 months. I've been looking for a smaller atty to replace the RM2 and I believe the O-16 fills all the boxes.
The RM2 is no slouch Dan. It's a fine beginners atty and every day atty for the old salts as well, and I have several of them. The RM2 was my first BF atty on my first Reo that helped win me over to Reos immediately. One of them will always remain the resident atty on my OG VVG. Even with not as much air as I like it works on it because I don't push it as hard as my other Reos. The VVG/RM2 is kind of like my pipe combo, the one to savor Wakonda in at quiet times when I am pondering about something or reminiscing what once was, same as I did with my Calabash and Meerschaum pipes that were used most of my life.
