Got 2 of my Lemo 2 yesterday.
I still say the 2 piece 510 base was dumb and should be just a simple 1 piece.
I must admit top fill is nice, no leaks what so ever, guess time will tell.

The whole box and all had an overpowering smell of machine oil, but a good Dawn scrubbing, and 10 minute boil cured that.
Scrapped the stock build, as I only run ni200.
Wrapped up one of my signature tight drill twisted 28/30 spaced 0.15ohm coils wicked with Japanese cotton using my bridge wick method
Been rocking them at 35w 450° .
I'm impressed eleaf has once again done it, is it better or worse than the original lemo or drop... no not really, just a few upgrades if thats what you want to call it.

For those asking about the actual build deck, it is exactly the same size as the original in fact the lower chimney barrels will interchange.

For those that say the glass is thicker, I don't have a caliper to confirm but to me it's looks the same as the original to me.

Flavor is spot on IMO with the original, but I feel flavor is all in how you build for the conditions you want to vape at the time.

    The 2 piece bottom is used to fit a dedicated mod they make. (not sure which one).
    It does make a good condensation cup, but can create havoc with a nickle build.
    I just wish they increased the size of the deck screws, or went with a Kanger ST post system.
    Oh well, gives them room for improvement for V3..............

    That was true on the OG Lemo, it served to hybrid onto the evic/evic supreme, but on this one it serves no real purpose.

    So your saying,that other than the top fill,there's not much,if any difference in the RTA's? How about the build quality? Same,or better?

    Got my grubby mitts on a lemo 2 today and they are nice and again a decent tank I'm not sure it's enough to make owners of the original rush out and buy them just not innovation from the first. Flavour wise it was no better to me, ease of build again nothing to shout about but where it does beat the original is feel it is a better made tank then the first heavier in the hand better metalwork and glass looked thicker but only had an ST on me at the time. Puffin I think you hit the nail on the head on the head to be honest eleaf didn't progress the lemo 2 as much as they could to hold back for the next version.

    To sum up if you don't own an original the v2 isv probably the one to buy now but if you own the original I just don't see anything really great to justify the price just my opinion :).

    Flavor/vapor production wise, not much if any difference
    Stock air flow is better
    Build quality.... personally I wouldn't call it better or worse just yet, I need to use them a bit longer before I form that opinion.

    Are they worh it? Absolutely
    Would I relocate my original Lemo's to the drawer of vaping equipment past?..... Not likely.

    Not the threads that were stripped--just the socket on top of the screw that shows being a little rough, right?

    How are the threads themselves?

    Yeah just the socket in the head is a bit rough. The threads all round are smooth enough for my liking, not buttery smooth by any means but I haven't encountered any janky parts yet.

    Agree the 2 part base is kinda pointless although I bet you could cause floods and leaks pretty easily so it will be useful for some as a juice catcher. I read elsewhere if you fill it standing up it can flood and I'm sure if you force too much pressure in there it will flood too. I predict a lot of leaking complaints by those not familiar with top filling.

    I agree with WeirdWillie, I think they are absolutely worth it, the top-fill alone is a great feature, and I think the build quality is pretty good, but I never had any complaints about the build quality of the Drops. The one feature I would like to see would be being able to access the deck without draining, hopefully that will come about with V3. But all in all, I'm pretty happy with the Lemo II so far.

    Got mine a couple hours ago. Washed, rewicked using the stock coil (shows 0.52 ohm) rocking it at 32w with my DIY juice. Nice....except it is going through the juice like there's a hole someplace! Coming out the mouthpiece in the form a mass vapor!

    Put a shorter wide mouth DT on to shorten the length a bit. Perfect.

    Yeah man Raja...full on vape for sure.

    Loving it "as is" here...Perfect center post length for my Hybrid dealie with my Stingray X and loving the "stock" drip tip here... and damn if it don't both look good and hit like a champ.

    Never ran coils this fat before but now that I have I'll be rolling some more at 3mm --got one rolled up outta 24 ga NiChrome sitting here now that I'll probably swap in tomorrow. Measures .5 ohm also.

    I'm going to put a twisted 28g on it tomorrow... probably be about 0.4 or so...see what that does compared to the stock coil they included.

    I have a Delta II that uses the same kind of bent legs off the coil so I have actually gotten pretty good at building those legs. The screw heads on the posts are a bit small to capture a 28g twisted securely so I will go with the post holes and bent legs I guess.

    I wish they had gone with the STmini RBA post system...the easiest way to secure a coil I have ever seen.
