It really depends on what kind of vaping you prefer. If you are, like me, a mouth-to-lung person, you should look at Kayfun 4, Taifun, Lemo or Erlkonigin.

If you're a high wattage/big clouds/huge airflow kind of person, I can't help. ;)
Rip trippers said the lemo is wide open for lung hits or does it just depend on how you adjust it?

I'd add the Squape R to that list as well.

To me, it seems there's a little more resistance in the Lemo than something like a Goblin. If you're really after cloud chasing, the Goblin or the Billow are better suited to that, being "native" dual coil atomizers with more open airflow than the Lemo.

I'm not knocking the Lemo at all; I have one, and a Lemo Drop, and they're great, but I'm not a full-bore cloud chaser.

The Lemo (1 and Drop) is more versatile than the other three I mentioned above because it comes with a larger (~3mm?) air hole in the deck, so it depends on how you build your coils and how you adjust your airflow. I like 2.2-2.4 mm I.D. coils, 28 or 29 AWG kanthal, 1.6Ω, 9-11 watts, AFC set somewhere in the middle of that idiotic wheel. :facepalm:

Lung hitters build huge coils: 2.5-3.5 mm I.D., 26 and 24 gauge wire, very low resistance builds, and AFC wide open.

I agree. It's my understanding that the Lemo 2 is even more open than the Drop I have and use, closer to the Goblin and the Billow, but what do I know?

I'm a tootle puffer! :)

Lol. Gotta love that little wheel. Every time I refill the tank, I wipe out the fill space (for lack of a better term) and somehow manage to bump/tweak the wheel and mess up my airflow.

That AFC is really the only problem I have with my Drop. I never know where it's at... :lol:

Love my Subtank RBA, but looking to explore.

So far the Lemo 2 is the best option in my opinion. Been wanting a top-fill tank for quite sometime too.

The Kayfun V4 looks beautiful, but i've read it doesn't handle sub-ohm too well?

What's the majority vote around here?
I build my Kayfun and use it for lung hits. It produces good clouds. But, if you're looking for a top filler, I'd stay away from the Lemo 2. And before anyone bashes me about reading the bloody manual, I already did. Filling it on its side with a dripper bottle is useless. Unless you have a refillable unicorn tip bottle, then steer clear. I've never been able to fill that tank without wasting at least 3-4ml's of juice. The hole just doesn't take the juice from a dripper. It just sprays out all over the tank and table.
