Glad it helped Apathy...keep us posted! It can be done mid-tank too, if it stops flowing well open briefly, cover drip tip, close... I can't take the credit, a friend here showed me that trick. Lol. Oh and speaking of tricks, hey ErnieKim your tricks did work on the Subtank Mini months ago... I replaced my mini rba deck with the then-new one that had juice channels all the way down, filed out the holes on the chimney a bit bigger, and voila... Idr if I ever said thanks, but trust me it's appreciated! That's still my backup tank. You're awesome
I use an old plugged up drip tip for the same effect
That way my finger doesnt slip off the end of the tip
If it works great, i've never had that issue on mine. I just dont try to squeeze every last drop in while filling and my wicking is subststial
I just take out my drip tip and stick my finger over the hole - works beautifully! I was having a lot of leaking issues before doing this, but for some reason this seems to have solved the problem
How do you guys get it to leave a air pocket? I did my first refill without it leaking through the airflow control today..don't know how ..been closing the airflow control, filling it horizontally and finger covering the drip tip all the time
Just don't fill it all the way - you want to see a bubble!
I ordered both 3mm and 4mm from Amazon, I have received them but have not tried any of them yet maybe tomorrow. I am understanding that the 3mm is the proper size? Guess I can return the 4mm if not needed, my junk box is already pretty full.
Bought a 5 pack of replacement glass for my lemo 2, could spare a coulple. Coming from slowtec though.
So I am using a 24ga coil, wrapped around a 3mm mandrel, .7ohm, Japanese cotton...but i just refilled the tank this morning, so no pics until tonight possibly. I've also tried pancake wicking in the Lemo 2 and it worked better than I imagined it would as there is quite a separation between the bottom of the wick and the juice channel. But the reason I went back to a "normal" wicking method is that pancake wicking is ideally used when you are at a consistent PG/VG ratio, and right now with the juices I am using, the ratio is unknown for some of the juices and varies quite a bit.
As far as filling goes, I am using a syringe with a 14ga needle and it is a fast and error free way to fill. No leaking with the AFC closed at all. I don't even have to wipe up drips.
Now, when I got the Lemo 2 a couple of weeks ago, I had put it on a mod for a pic and then get distracted. Before I knew it was was picking up my mod to take a hit...forgetting that the brand new Lemo 2 had no juice in it...but it was built and wicked from the factory...worst dry hit ever. After the tears cleared, I took the tank part and snapped a pic...enjoy my pain.

Tighten the center post from below ChiBear---that large flat head slotted post inside the airflow compartment.
Hold the very bottom section with a pair of pliers and use a flathead screwdriver slid into the air slot for leverage...
Should come right off.

Actually a strap wrench on the bottom section would work better...and you can also grab both sides of the upper section of the deck with a pair of thin needle nose pliers if you don't have any success with the screwdriver in the slot trick
kinda had it a little backwards..sorry--nic buzz
Top ring of bottom section you need to grab with pliers or wrench or--if empty grab the upper section of deck with needle nose pliers and twist while holding the slot with screwdriver.

Try putting it in the freezer a while.
Then heat, above the base with a hair dryer.
It may expand just enough to free up the base.
I love mine and use it every day for thick juice in TC mode for about a month now. Up until a few days ago I had not leaked a drop. Recently I had a couple of tank emptying after doing a top refill and laying it down. Looked away for a few mins and when I grabbed the device I had a handful and an almost empty tank. I think for some reason the glass was not tight enough even though I had used it all day and not changed anything. I tightened it up and refilled and all was ok.
Yesterday I had another tank empty on me after refill and putting it down. After reaching for it and getting a handful again, I realized that I had not closed the fill hole. lolSometimes technology lets us down and sometimes it is forgetfulness. But I do love this tank and not bad for the price either.
I had my first very minor leak but it was because I ran out of juice and after flopping around loosely in my pocket for an hour or so...it produced some of the small amount juice.
But I show do love my Lucile...she's the best vape ever!!!
