Good day kind folks of REOville! I know you folks get this a lot, but do bear with me pls 
So recently I've started to seriously consider getting a REO. I adore box mods more than any other form factors, and I like the flavor from dripping; REOs just seem perfect for my preference.
I do consider myself a fairly advanced vaper, and have a good grasp of safety and rebuildables. Have gone through a bunch of APVs, but my daily drivers now have been whittled down to my trust ole provari, a zna30, and a nemmy (which died recently). I'm personally not a fan of mechs since I hate dealing with voltage dropoff, and I'm also a really lazy bloke when it comes to monitoring battery voltage (i've killed a bunch of batteries from overdischarging them hahaha).
but I want a REO. I wanna experience squishing on a little plastic bottle. I want a perfectly saturated wick on a dripper and never have to worry about leaking.
I'm still trying to decide between a LP mini or LP grand, but that's not critical for me right now. I do however have a couple of questions which can really help to push me over the edge and onto buying one.
1) The RM2: I know most of you folks swear by the RM2, and I'm sure it's a great atty. unfortunately there are a couple of issues with it that I find to be a significant deal breaker.
the first is the lack of AFC. I know most folks have a preferred draw and can stick to one single hole size. But I personally need to change my airflow throughout the day just to get the different types of satisfaction (i know I'm picky, but I vape differently when I wake up vs. after a meal vs. relaxing vs stealth vaping). Was wondering if anyone knows what other RDA with AFC has top cap that's interchangeable with a RM2 base?
The other issue with the RM2 is that I prefer dual-coils and use twisted wires exclusively, so they do get pretty fat. a 2 post atty unfortunately doesn't work too well for me. Was wondering about folk's experience with dual coiling on a RM2 (coils on opposite sides, not stacked on top), whether the juice hole positioning is sufficiently efficient for juicing a set up like that, and experience with 2x thick wires through a single post hole.
2) Related to my first point - Availability of botton-fed toppers: Not sure how else to put this, except there is barely any readily available ones on the market, and whatever is available (with AFC, aka the cyclone BF + AFC) is impossible to find. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong places, but are there actually readily available BF-modded drippers with AFC + good flavor? (I don't care for cloud chasing). If not, are there readily avail service out there for BF-modding RDAs? I know there's the whole art of DIY modding drippers to become BF, but I had to be truthful, I should probably be issued a permanent restraining order that prevents me from going anywhere near a drill or dremel.
3) Size: just as a bonus for me, if folks could kindly share pictures of the reo mini or grand side by side common objects like an iPhone 5, it'll be great for me just to have a good idea of the size. My intent is for my REO to primarily serve as my PV when I'm out at a club or bar or when I'm out on meetings with my dress pants on, so size is a pretty big deciding factor, although not a deal breaker.
so yeap. ANY input at all is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
