Can't say for sure yet until I receive my new battery & resume riding to work while testing this new oiler contraption.
But since the delivery method is the same as Scottoiler (drip tube at the rear sprocket near the chain), I take it that it's a tried and tested method.
The trick is in the amount and weight of the oil that it drips on the chain. You have a choice of SAE90 or SAE140 weight gearbox oil to choose from that you can easily buy on the cheap. You can even mix the two in varying ratios to your liking. The point being, heavier weight oil might be a little more resistant to fling.
Then there's the amount. If you overlube using any type of chain lube, it will fling regardless. I reckon the same caveat applies.
The Nemo 2 is entirely mechanical, unlike the old Scottoiler design that is activated by the vacuum created in your throttle when you naturally twist the grip when riding while the newer one is electronically activated - both of which will require a more elaborate installation. So the second you activate it by twisting the body 90 degrees, it will start squeezing out the oil in drips for the next 3 minutes. Which means you need to bugger off and ride immediately after so that the oil will be distributed along your chain, otherwise it will drip and make a thick oily mess on the floor.
elaborate is an understatement.

i installed my scottoiller under the seat to avoid it from being stolen. friends say best to have it there since mat rempit can't get to it.
need to open up the entire body panels to get to the vaccum line behind the throttle body.

all installed, cable tied and tidy up.

i did consider the cobra/nemo but for long distance you need to manually discharge the oil every now and then. that's why some people install it on their handlebar.
scottoiler is install it and forget it. just need to check and refill the reservoir. but a lot harder to install. the electronic version is way too expensive to my liking.

will this fling all around the rear rim?
a bit. not much. on my bike it fling most oil to the front sprocket.
and i usually run it wet since i ride on a lot of dusty dirt road.
