I have been using the original Lemo since it came out and I love it but it seems the threads get worn after a while. I have also bought 3 Lemo 2's and all of them I can't get to read correctly so they just sit on my stand. They either don't read at all or the ohms jump all over the place and I can't seem to get the pin to contact correctly.
Does anyone else have this issue with the Lemo 2?
I keep going back to the original Lemo which when it is working is the best tank but it has its issues as well. I would like to get the Lemo 3 if I can build a single coil. The pre-built coils in these tanks just don't seem to give the flavor you get from building your own. I guess I need to try a dual coil at some point but I don't want to blow through my juice that fast.
Ive had the Lemo 1 (died finally a few months back. was my first real tank - after a really leaky subtank min - evil pos) and the Lemo 2, in fact i have 3 Lemo 2's, ive never had conductivity/pin issues on any of the Lemo 2's ever - the original Lemo yes, due to its adjustable pin (starts out solid, then becomes adjustable lol)
I use one Lemo 2 (and have tested all 3) in temp control as my main tank.
One thing i can tell you is that ive never used the post holes for securing the coil legs, i found on occasion when i first got them there could be some variance in ohms readings. I pretty much from the beginning switched to screw head trapping (trapping the screws under the screw heads - i.e. wrap the coil leg once around the screw on top fo the deck, and screw down). Ive just replaced all the deck deck screws with hex headed m1.6x3mm stainless screws from a supplier on ebay, and they are far better than the phillips head originals, you can crank on them to ensure a good contact.
All mine read rock solid stable resistance in Escribe on my DNA200 mod.
The Lemo 2 is, after trying plenty of tanks, still the best tank ive owned by a large margin, thats why i have 3 of them.
As for coil building on the Lemos, heres what ive always done:
Pre Temp control/VW mode: 7 wraps of kanthal on 3mm id for around 1.1ohms
Temp Control: 7 wraps of 316 stainless steel on 3mm id for around 0.5/0.6ohms
I am 100% temp control these days, but the 7 wraps on 3mm id seems to work the best for Lemo's regardless of what wire (kanthal/stainless) or mode youre in, and with stainless steel wire you have some flexibility as you can use it in both temp control/non temp control modes
