What is a proper way of using silicone plug to not get any leaks? I have 50/50 luck with it. Sometimes it doesn't leak at all, sometimes it's significant. Every time I do the same thing though, push it in as hard as it will go, with other legs all flush, but there has to be a trick to it to make it work 100% every time. Any ideas?
Eleaf Lemo Drop. I want one!

Got mine the other day, it's pretty awesome. Black version and came pre-wicked and coiled love it!
i slightly lubricate wit juice the tip that plugs the fill hole. I push down with decent force make sure the silicone ring is flat at all points touching/laying flat. Have had zero leaks. a lot better than fiddling with the that screw. I use 50/50 blend. no issues
Just got my Drop in black, pre-coiled(1ohm) and pre-wiked.
Airflow sucks!! I think my nautilus had better airflow before i drilled it out.
Will drill bigger holes tonight.

Something doesnt seem right. I have three nautilus and two lemos. The lemos have 10x the airflow IMO. You might want to check the airflow control, check all parts are screwed in all the way, and definitely replace the wick and prep it lots with ejuice. I dont think more drilling is needed if your airflow is worse than nautlius. Something else may be off.
Nope!
Made the holes bigger and getting better airflow. Still no where near of Atlantis.
P.s.
Top fill is very easy with this tank. Just have to hold the glass down in place while filling the tank.
And i had to wash all the parts, there was a funny smell to it.
Will try your advice and slightly juicing the plug. Hopefully will do the trick. Thanks.
i dont own an atlantis. But if you had to drill holes for the airflow to be on par with the nautilus, there may be something else wrong. I originally did have flow issues, buf it was only because I wicked it poorly.
After drilling the holes the air flow did improve, but there is also seem to be a slight restriction through the main deck, will have to take it apart and see if there is something got stock or out of place. I will also remove the air flow nut, as of now i have it stuck tight in full open position.
Its a good tank, but could have been a whole lot better. And they should have used bigger screws that tightens the coil ends down instead of the ones from sun glasses.
Not sure if you did this or not, but if you will always run it wide open next time you go to recoil pull out the AFC all together. Pull the center pin out and spin off the AFC. The AFC in wide open mode sits between the air intake and the base and will cause a bit of drag on airflow.
Drilling the side holes will help as well.
Vape on
Update;
Removed the center pin that has AFC ring on it, and it has 4 small holes. I drilled out the holes to be a bit bigger. Air flow has improved, but the center pin it self is too narrow to get anymore air out of it.
Conclusion; there are 3 design flaws that prevents from having more airflow.
Pic of original hole. There are 4 of them, i doubled the size of each one.

Ive been drilling small object for many years. Got a new 50 piece Dremel set to replace my old worn out and broken bits. I already broke one piece and torched another when i was making a bigger hole on the Nautilus tank. The SS on that tank is very very thick.
I also have a dozen hand files of various sizes and shapes that can be attached to a drill, so i dont have to burn out my elbow grease.
As of now, with improved airflow, im happishly vaping at 26w with factory coil. Getting nice warm tasty flavor from my juice. But its going through juice way too fast. Might have to start making my own juice just to feed the little beast.

Lol, 3 design "flaws?" Just because YOU think there isn't enough airflow doesn't mean that the lemo has any design flaws. Look at all the positive feedback on this thing. I have 4 of them & none of them have any design flaws.
That makes it 12...haha.
Its all subjective at the end of the day. You can have 158 of the same tank and they would all have same design flaws. To you airflow is enough, for me it isnt. Thats why i had to make the holes BIGGER. But im still getting less airflow then Atlantis tank.
Chain vaping at 30watts, and the flavor is great. The tank is staying nice and cool, Atlantis tank would have gotten hot to touch by now.
