Got my Drop today but the vapor production isnt what I was hoping for. I know in videos its hard to tell how much vapor is really there, seems like theres a lot more on screen than in real life. I think I just have my expectations too high, I mostly use very open RDAs (Little Boy for example) at 80ish watts on a regulated device, and while I obviously didnt expect that, I was hoping to get at least equivalent vapor compared to an Atlantis set at the same wattage (30-40w), which im just not.
I know its capable of it, the airflow is fairly close to the Atlantis so theres so reason it cant put out the same vapor, I think my rta skills just suck, im so used to drippers.
I have been humbled, my tank vapor production is pathetic.

I also wasnt happy with the Lemo but realized it was my own fault. Bad wicking. After experimenting with the length and placement, it has been working like a charm. And is now my #1 go to device.

Good to hear that its working for you now....I am still on the border with what I want to start with as my first RTA but I'm really looking at the Lemo Drop....but I'm more concerned about getting into and nailing the DIY flavors first....then move on to the RTAs.
But...doesn't mean I want entertain the idea and act upon at least ordering a RTA and have everything I need to get started when I'm ready!!

Thanks for the update!

The Lemo comes with it (plus a spare)!!

ETA: I don't know how some of the reviewers missed it...well Pbsusardo didn't seem to have them in his kit (I paused and looked), but RipTrippers did have them but somehow missed what they were for.

Funny how one small post can cause an 'I'll be damned' moment.... :lol:
I never bothered to lift the insert to see what else was in there. I'm so used to the usual screwdriver thrown in that reading there's other goodies in the box made me smile. Thanks for that!

Just got my 2 drops yesterday & here's a picture showing the size difference between the standard lemo & the drop. The IPV3 is a little taller than the sigelei & I put a shorter drip tip on it that I found in my junk drawer. I really like it.

Well, I won't be using that rubber piece in lieu of the screw.

You don't have it in correctly if it's leaking like that. Make sure that the plug is firmly in the hole & press the gasket flat all the way around the bottom. I've got 4 Lemo's & I've never used the screw.

Anyone want a gently used Lemo? It's not really blowing my skirt up.

I might. I have a few attys I was going to put up for sale or trade today or tomorrow. I have an authentic Congrevape Doge RDA and RM2 for a Reo. Debating on the Billow. Let me know if any of those interest you.

Thanks for posting....

Thanks High! I did have it in correctly- it's not that complicated & not the only thing I use with a plug.

Are you certain that's from the fill hole? It kinda looks like it's from the air holes. Is there liquid on the inside of the 510 cap (where the fill hole is)?

I dunno, I've been using the plugs for a month, and I now own two Lemos but I've never had it leak.

I put the screw back in--no more leaking.

I don't see any puddles. What am I supposed to be looking at?

Got mine today and so far its great.

I have the airflow at max and very nice - Theres a lot more play in the air flow control than i would have thought.

Could have been there for a long time adjusting but just thought i'd go for max and see if i like it which i do.

Yes for above wondering about airflow seems it goes from no airflow to a lot.

    Question for those that own a LD-

    I know that these are wildly popular for their open airflow but are they capable of a tighter draw as well? Can they be tightened down to the KFL+ range or tighter?

    Just wanting to know the the range of options regarding the AFC.

    Thanks!

    Yes, as others posted you can adjust it down.
    The ring is loose, but mine has stayed put. Some have added an o-ring, to keep it from moving.
    What I have also done is, just use a KF restricted drip tip.
