At the same resistance (ohms), they will be the same. That said, you may find yourself "adjusting" the resistance on the RM2 more to your liking. With cartos or attys, you're basically "stuck" with what the seller sends you.
In my experience, even a "fixed" resistance, can vary slightly. With the RM2, you should be able, once you find your "sweet spot", to recoil to within .1 ohm consistantly.

more_, the higher the ohm the longer your batt will last, if you use 2.2 ohm, the batt will last a shorter time than if using a 3 ohm batt but longer than using a microcoil at 1 ohm or .7 ohm or such
use this: Watts - volts - amps - ohms conversion calculator
put Volts (for a mech, just plug 3.7) and then the resistance of your cato / atty / rda / rba
the lower the amp the longet your batt will last (after all, batts are rated as Mah, or Miliamps-hour)

Lower resistance builds drain a battery more. (less resistance = more flow) But, most people find that their vape habits change accordingly, and the battery lasts the same overall amount of time. Meaning: a lower resistance setup is more satisfying and you either toot less often, or take shorter toots, and it all balances out.
Thanks 
and do i have to learn the ohm thing if i only use a set 2.0 or higher on my coil. What i'm saying is my brain hates numbers and graphs but i will check the coil before using it on the meter thing from RTD. The one where you screw in the atty and it says what number it is.

Will a carto drain the battery quicker than a RBA?
I still am going to get a RM2 but want to know about this so i am not surprised at my battery life
With the mechanical REO's I think the RBA will decrease battery life. It would all depend on the ohms you are running. I like lower ohms, 1.0-1.4. It is really tough for me to tell though because I always run multiple REO's. But I am finding a need to recharge a little sooner.
I can say for sure the juice goes quicker with an RBA!!!
Thanks
I used 1.8 ohm attys and am using 1.7-1.9 ohm coils on my RM2's, FWIW. So, no noticable difference in battery life.
As far as learning the ohms thing, I know my 30 ga Kanthal wire is .7 ohms per inch, so I just measure 3 inches of it (that allows about 1/4 inch to cut off for each "tail"), and I get consistent resistance every time. I use the same meter (the "box" checker), but they always measure the same with an actual meter.
And, +1 on what Karen said about the juice, I'm vaping more juice in a given day, but then, I'm producing MORE vapor

I wish I had read this before I had my moment of clarity this afternoon on my return trip to work to get my kindle....
Look for it in the general discussion forum..
Oh, wait I have the linked saved still.

It's funny. To me anyway.

Nope. Don't even think about the ohm thing until you decide to vape below 1Ω and/or you stop using AW IMR 18650 batteries.
Thanks
Sorry, More, I didn't really answer your question (duh!) Learning the "ohm thing" is good. It will help you understand the intricacies of ohms, wires, wraps, volts, amps, connections and rocket science. But you no more have to know ohm's law to vape, than you have to have a degree in physics to operate a microwave oven.
It's helpful for a deeper understanding, but the bottom line is, if you know enough to check so you don't short out your mod, you already know enough. If you don't have a short, then all you *need* to know is: vape too cool=ohms too high, vape too warm=ohms too low.
(A "short", btw, is zero ohms, i.e., no resistance at all, so the electrical charge in your battery comes flooding out all at once, melting everything in sight, and rendering your mod inoperable until repaired. Hence the spring failsafe in the REO so your battery doesn't decide to go wild and spew hot gases, or, in the case of non IMR's, flames and other such face destroying nasties)
I think the REO Grand/RM2 with my 0.9Ω coil must be pretty efficient. I'm going through about 5.5 ml and one 2000 mAH AW IMR a day, whereas I was going through two 2.5 ml ProTanks (2.5Ω) and a 2600 mAH 18650 in my eVic per day, set on 8W (much higher and the ProTank really can't keep up with 50/50). The Reo/RM2 puts out much more vapor per draw, with probably an average of 16+W with that coil, and I hit it harder, so I probably don't hit nearly as often. My old rig is now like an unsatisfying ultra light cigarette after using the REO/RM2. Will try a 0.5Ω as soon as the wire gets here.
Thank you all. I am so glad to not have to get into all that chart stuff. What happens to me when i see numbers is my brain malfunctions 
I can barely use a calculator to do my budget with. It gives me a headache and stress! But so far so good on my budget planning and that is my most important number thing

I rename you Count Dracula while making the sign of a cross! Letters are better
otoh if those are a tracking number for a free REO then i will not make the sign

So, which would last longer... 18650 @ 1.2 ohms or stacked 18350s at 3ohms. Which would provide more vapor?

Most 18350s' storage capacity is less than half of, say, a 2000mAh 18650. So, I'd think the bigger battery would last longer. It comes down to how you vape them, too, tho. Also, with internal battery resistance, I would imagine that two smaller compartments can give up less juice than one larger. (But that's all conjecture.)
Personally, I find that vape satisfaction outweighs other factors. I vape way less with a thoroughly satisfying setup. Which, btw, entails a rather high nic. content. (Costs the same as low dose)

I'm only trying to figure out how to carry less stuff. I recently dropped Nic down to 18. I'm satisfies, but sometimes want MOAR!
Know what I mean?

I don't know how you guys use high nic. I started using 20mg, and that was killing my throat. I have been at 10mg for the last 6-7 months now and I might even jump down to 5mg soon.
