Just an FYI, if anyone is having issues with the lemo2 not making a connection because of the 2 piece base (center pin not making connection with the 510), an easy solution is to take a 3mm inner diameter x 1mm cross section oring, and slide the center pin through it so that the oring now sits between the plastic insulator and the base of the center pin. Tighten the center pin down and it should work fine.

I had no issue with the 510 on the Lemo 2, unlike its predecessors.

This PROVED I need a new ohm reader. Like most I loath them. But am searching, now, for the "best", most accurate, short of buying a real multimeter, something I should have done a long time ago. ;)

I looked back a few pages and I must be missing the post, but I wanted to thank the person that pointed out that the upper and lower tank seals are different sizes. THANK YOU!

I never paid attention before and assumed they were the same size, just like the original Lemo.

Let me tell you from firsthand experience, it is possible to install the seals in the wrong position. :facepalm: It doesn't leak, but it does cause a problem you might not expect: It makes the fill port difficult to open.

I re-wicked the Lemo 2 today and flipped the seals around and my fill port opens and shuts smooth as glass.

EDIT: Thought it might be nice to mention which seal goes where. Smaller ID seal goes in the top cap, larger ID seal in the base.

After a couple tanks / rewicks / new coils I pretty much agree with Matt. High VG has a difficult time flowing between the glass and evaporation chamber barrel.

I wanted to like this tank, but I don't use 50/50, or even 70/30, so it may just not be right for me.

This is not my experience.

I vape only high or max-VG. After nearly every draw I can see 1-3 bubbles rising from the bottom. That tells me I have very good wicking.

Who knows after the next wicking I may be in the same boat as one of the 'complaing' reviwers. :)

I dunno, I still get bubbles (see below - mute if you don't want to hear radio/lemo 2 draw), just don't think its wicking quite well enough.



Maybe I just need to keep trying on the wicking. I'm not even using terribly thick juice right now, "max VG" from itc vapes, I think its 77-80vg. After my last tank of 97vg was burning up a bit I looked for thinner juice I had around. I'm using ni200 so that prevent dry dry hits, but am still getting that hiss of burning juice after a draw.

I watched a video today that had a little lemo v2 tip. It appears that if you tighten the glass too much, the lower oring can start to squish up into the juice channels. They suggested backing off the tightness until just snug. Not sure if this was already covered in this thread, but I thought I would throw it out there.

I've seen people saying that too, I don't believe it. All that does is loosen the vacuum, which will facilitate juice flow. I've used that technique in the past on several RTAs if I've over wicked, and while it does work, I don't think that's the root cause on this tank.

I am going to try wrenching the glass down on the bottom oring next time I take it apart to see if I can put enough pressure where it would make the o-ring go into the juice channel, but I doubt it.

With the diameter of the inner chamber being the same the same size and their both press fit.
Has anyone with a Lemo Drop that also has a Lemo 2 tried to turn their Lemo 2 into a Lemo 2 drop.
It should work. I have two Lemos and Drops but not a Lemo 2 YET.

Wait. What? I guess you could do that if you were to make a custom glass tube for it.

Just give each glass rim a lick or a touch of juice to give it some lubrication first.

Just picked up a lemo 2 today and have problem wondering if you all can help with.

At first the vape was too warm so I turned down the watts. Kept turning it down and now I'm at 5 watts and the vape is vape is still warm!

Thought it was my miss and put my dripper back on, reads .7 ohms and when I do it down the watts I get nothing so my mod is good.

Put lemo back on, reads .4 ohms. Close enough to the stated 5

Do I have a short somewhere? The taste does not taste like it burning though.

Suggestions?

Your guess about a short is likely correct. Re-build and rewick. If the heat goes away, you were right...

I was having some issues with burning and dry hits. I thought it was my wicking since this is my first RTA. I then discovered my istick 50 was auto firing. So I would pick it up for a hit and it tasted burnt because it was lol.

I'm still having to take the occasional primer puff to get my bubbles flowing. But I'm still learning RTA wicking. Also it seems my 70/30 juice works better then my 50/50. Don't know why that is but I like it lol.

There should be no need, just use the tube from the Lemo it is already the correct size for the Lemo Drop Chamber and Chimney.

I don't get it, I would think if you used the lemo drop tube on the lemo 2 it would be too large in diameter?

Isn't that what you're proposing? Take the lemo drop chimney and put it on the lemo 2? Then use shorter glass from the lemo drop on the lemo 2?

I only have the lemo 2, so I could just be missing something, but I don't see how the 23mm glass tube will fit on the 22mm lemo 2.

It could be the 70PG is just thinner and more forgiving if you don't have the wicking techniques down pat yet.
