I've been using a 2.5 mm coil in my Bachelor for the past three weeks without any wicking issues, leaks or dry hits. Airflow is slightly better with a 2.5 versus a 3 mm.

I think I'm going to drop down to a 2.5mm then. The airflow is just a touch too restricted on the Bachelor, whenever I switch to my Serpent it's like I removed a mask from my face & I can breath normal again.
still playing with it
no problems with the top seal ..no problems with mashine oil taste ..the flavor is very nice , sitting here and comparing it with other attys . serpent , aromamizer 1 , gem clone .
and boreas to ...had a problem with leaking at first not to bad just a little until the tank was half emty and then the rest run out and made a mess ! found that I lost the o ring seal for the base ! now having a problem that the spare don't fit to good , a little to large and bulges out and have to push it in with my finger nails while srewing in the base .
rebuilding on a paper towel ? lots of luck finding that clear o ring on it ...lots of fun .
the other problem was the glas esembly was to tight ...
rubberized grip did not work so used a strip of fine sand paper for top and bottom worked great.
tried two build on it 2.5 and 3 mm. vapes good with either.
next I will try another build with 4 wire twisted 34 g kanthal
my favored coils . and 2.5 mm ..might have to do a little experimenting with wicking it little different .
enjoing the vape it .

Yeah with the juice control it can be wicked loose even and be tamed with jc. 2.5mm shouldn't be an issue. I tend to prefer it over 3mm coils in other single coil attys.
I built mine earlier with a spaced SS Clapton at 2.5mm & had no wicking issues at all. I was hoping the air would open up a little but no such luck.
Sorry I don't own the Lemo, I have the Bellus, Serpent, Avocado & Bachelor. The Bachelor is just a touch more restrictive then the rest.
The Bachelor has a little less airflow than the Lemo 2? Thanks for the info on that. Might have to skip this one. I love the Lemo and use it every day, but I wish it was just a hair more open.
We'll, it's certainly MUCH easier to wick that's for sure. The bachelor doesn't seem to care how you wick it really. I can't say the same for lemo 2.
It wicks phenomenally. The way it's bathed in juice works well. It's a straight wick, always better than one that bends and drops down imo. No problem chain vaping at 45w with 95%vg and Rayon Wick. Sucks the tank down.
One small issue, imo the base orings were damaged at the factory and opening it the first time.. They installed the base with no lube on the rings and the orings are slightly cut or damaged. I get a slight weep over a couple days. Also this would affect the tightness if the jc if the oring was compressed.
They should have lubed the orings with pg or vg before assembling. Same goes for the tank since some have trouble getting it apart...
So I'll have to use my spare orings already if I want to keep it Completely dry.
We should demand they include two sets for the base because the first set is already a little shot out of the box. Works fine, but not sealed completely.
That's my little petty complaint. Otherwise this tank is rocking, not a single issue in use.

Tried 2.5mm coil. It's better to me. Except wicking is harder since the cotton is thinner. But flavor is better to me.
I just can't take 24g, 13 wraps, 3mm. It just drink the juice and at 12mg nicotine it gave me a headache.

hi again
just dumped a lot more juice ...so the reason must be me !
so took it all apart to find out why and also change to the black o rings .yes it was me !! the clear o ring to seal the glass was stuck on the glass tube and esembling it I put it upside down ..so ..glass to metal don't seal . also I was thinking there must be an o ring in the bottom part may be flat and lost it ? not so !that's why I could not find one to fit!
just made a quick 28 g k1 coil 1.4 ohms micro ..spread the legs to fit and perfect no leaks not even condensation !
now the best improvement in my opinion some one mentioned in another thread (cant think of the name right now)he sugjested putting a little piece of sillecone tube in the air hole right under the coil to reduce the flow . and up the velocity . omg what a difference .. cant put it down now !
3 hrs now and not a drop of condensation or leaks
