The only thing that I can think is the airhole wasn't open to begin with. It's almost impossible not to get a lot of airflow with this things. I think some people (not saying the person who posted that) realize the afc is underneath & not on the side like the Atlantis or Nauti.
And my AFC was locked in full open position right out of the box. Yet the airflow was still way too restricted for me. So might as well mention names to we can get this out of the way.
Have mine at max airflow and its good for me.
I think maybe if you've been using say a dripper with a wide drip tip you may not think the airflow is huge but if you are using say a kayfun light then the lemo is airy.
Going from my kfl+ the lemo is airy - though my plume veil clone dripper has two air slots and i have a chuff style wide drip tip on and that gets plenty of air.

If youre used to the Atlantis full bore then the lemo will seem a bit constricted. Theres no rta on the market that has that open of a draw, even the Billow.
Gotta modify if you want that open of a draw, which is actually really easy on the Lemo. Bore out the vertical 510 channel, enlarge the bottom bolt holes and then enlarge the 510 adaptor holes to match.
A drill press makes the vertical 510 channel much much easier.

I have a chepo Tesla DII RDA and Atlantis, and Lemo in stock form has half the airflow of Atlantis tank. Lemo is a great little setup, but its way too restricted.
Lemo got a big, giant chimney and wide open tip, but the rest of the air holes are shut tight like a nun.
I dont know how many more ways i have to explain it.

Either your Lemo is defective, or you are unfairly comparing it to a dripper. Even the Orchid doesn't have the airflow of a Lemo.
Your expectations are unrealistic. The inability to drill it larger does not constitute a design flaw.

To those of you that have both a Lemo and a Lemo Drop, do you find that the juice flow is more restricted on the Drop? On my Lemo I can run it at 24 watts with no issues but with the Drop I have to turn it down to like 15 watts otherwise I hit my TP cutoff which suggests to me that the juice flow is inadequate. Additionaly, if I let it sit for a while to feed, or force some juice into the chamber by slightly unscrewing and retightening the tank I get a strong vape for a while, then it slows to a trickle again. I'm thinking it might be because the small tank chamber creates a stronger vacuum while simultaneously reducing the pressure of the liquid itself to gravity feed into the tank. As I vape it, emptying the tank, I get more air into the tank it seems to feed better. Anyone else experiencing this?
I find that when screwing on the base, it will grab the silicone ring and knock it out of the fill hole. I've been screwing the base on more slowly, and screwing backwards every few turns to reseat the ring. That is after taking a micro screwdriver and really jamming that plug in the fill hole. The only time I get a leak is removing the atty from a mod and accidentally unscrewing the base, again unseating the ring.
My drop runs fine at 35w with max VG. It shouldnt have any issue at 24 let alone 15.
For me - The Lemo set as stock fully open is still constricted compared to a Billow or Orchid. and much more compared to a Atlantis, but the flavor is great.
I can do Lung hits and get a nice rich dense Vape.
I prefer the Billow for it is much better than the Orchid for Air supply, and Flavor is almost as good as the Lemo.
Now Atlantis - at 35 watts fully open it is a nice Lung hit , but I find the Vape not too dense and a little dry, but for some flavors it is still fine.
I prefer not to compare Dripping to Tanking as they are a different beast.
I guess the Big dripper is as close to a RDA with self attached dripper, but I never like the Deck.
We're getting closer to better RTA's, so I can only imagine 2015 will bring some great products.
As long as demand keeps up, then there will be more companies investing in products that suit the Vaping Masses.
As more of the newer Vapers upgrade from the basic ego style devices, and go to a local B&M to test an RDA , and get that first "WOW" then tanks that give a similar experience will be the next creations.
I've only been vaping for a year and remember my first KFL, and thought this is it !
We've come a long way fast, and good things will be coming !

Finally getting the flavor I want out of my RTAs, had a big issue with weird flavor on all my tanks, rebuilt them all again and it seems to have gone away. I guess maybe they all just werent clean enough? Who knows, all that matters is its gone and im getting good flavor now.
How's this awesome thread got buried?
Just got my drop recently after a long wait and Man this thing perform like a champ. Better than KF 3.1 and I'm loving it. Don't have the original Lemo so I can't compare but drop looks awesome on my sigelei and great flavor.

Both are identical. Its your wicking that needs attention. I vape mine easily at 35watts, but it starts to dry hit after a long pull only because i have a GIANT sub-ohm coil sucking up all the juice.
Nope. I'm running a .8 ohm coil at 33 watts without any wicking issues whatsoever and it max VG
I dunno I'm getting a pretty fantastic and consistent Vape off my lemo drop, even at 35 watts with max vg and chain VAPING there are no dry hits in sight. I'm very impressed. If you're bothered by it that much, it's really easy to open up the airflow on it, much easier than trying on a Kayfun bc of that pesky 510 pin hole...
I dunno, I really think the lemo and lemo drop come alive in regulated devices, because to get it to the point of resistance where it would really reach the right temp for the liquids flavor to taste the way it was meant to, you'd have to build it too low and then ur screwed all over again bc there isn't enough coil surface area to atomize a proper amount of liquid per Vape. IMO my lemo drop hits it's stride right around 5.2 volts with a .8 ohm 26 guage single coil wrapped around a 1/8 screwdriver. I'm gonna try out a higher guage wire with more wraps and see how that stacks up, but so far I'm seriously impressed with what I've been getting from this setup.
lol which is it the nautilus or the Atlantis? Because the airflow range between those two are very disparate. Anyway, the point isn't to have RDA level airflow, it's to be able to still lung hit on an RTA while simultaneously achieving fantastic wicking and vibrant flavor, which is by no means an easy feat. IMO, the lemo drop is the first rta that has truly realized this vaping dream and it's just a bonus that it all happens to come for such an affordable price.
