I have never owned an RM2 because of the whole brass thing, but I have went through just about every atty that is under 15mm on my grands and have now ventured into the 22mm atty's and it seems there is no looking back. I really enjoy the AFC slots a lot of atty's are made with now. As to flavor loss in going to a larger atty, I have experience none at all. The flavor is the same in my Odin's as was the Cyclone, Reactor, Era, Hornet, Divo, Igo's, and everything else I have put on them. I think the whole flavor loss is in the liquid mixture itself... I am awaiting a Mephisto and have a Competition Doge in route to Chowderhead to be modded to BF. I think the drip tip ID for the Doge is bigger than a Divo atty... Should be interesting... I have also just ordered a Nuppin' from pdib to give the ole college try to... Atty's have been my downfall, but thank god for the classifieds to sell the used and try something new... You need to take a chance and venture out someday... You never know until you try something new... I do think its interesting that a lot of folks that have ventured found their way back to the RM2. If it was an all SS atty, i'm sure I would own one...
