Is it possible you overfilled it? There needs to be an air bubble left at the top of the tank after refill or it may behave that way.
I have not personally experienced that with the Lemo 2, but it definitely happens on the OG Lemo when overfilled.

Yeah, I think I might have overstuffed the coil. Did a rewick.
I try to get the wick into a horseshoe shape so juice channels are clear. Using a 50/50 mix.
I loosened slightly. Anymore and tank unscrews rather than juice port opening.
I always have an air bubble. I've found the sweet spot for how much juice to add. Anymore and it gets into air holes.
Thanks everyone. Lemo is back to working well again. Not sure which thing fixed it. Maybe a combination of all of the suggested remedies.

I have experienced it several times when I don't leave enough air on top. After I fill it I take a pull or two with the air slot closed and all works well. My ejuice is usually Max VG too and my wicking works well as long as I leave the juice holes clear and I use Japanese cotton for my wicking.
Just got my new Lemo 2. So far it is working perfectly. Threw a 3mm 28ga nickel build in it wicked with Japanese cotton. Getting some great flavor and clouds. No leaking at all. The airflow is quite a bit more then my Lemo.
The silver parachute popped and vape mail dropped my Lemo2 on me today. So, I broke out the old screw gun and twisted up some Clapton wire to build it. When I opened the silly thing up to get started, I was surprised to discover it comes from the factory pre-built with a microcoil and pre-wicked. I threw it on the meter, it measures .55 Ohms. The wick appears to be cotton fiber-- I guess rayon is possible-- which seems kind of odd as the wick they sent in the package appears to be cotton pads. They also sent some wire for rebuilds, but I'll have to get the micrometer out to see what gauge it might be as it is unmarked. The wire's pretty hefty, though. They recommend .5mm wire in the instructions, which would be in the 24-25 AWG range. It's about that size, just from looking. It's not exactly the build I had intended to put in the tank, but it's reasonable so I'll give it a shot. I have to say, though, it's a nice improvement on the useless 36 or 40 ga spaced coil on silica wick every manufacturer on the planet throws in the box. I have a theory somebody built billions of those coils just before the bottom fell out of the market and they keep sending them out with new attys just to get rid of them.Whatever and why ever, kudos to Eleaf. They have sent me more than I expected. The wick gets wet tomorrow 
OK, I filled my Lemo2 and put it on a tube. I'm using the factory build that came in the tank as described above. First impressions: leaky and airish. It was wicked like a Kayfun, cotton tails dropped down to the deck, just barely touching, so that's what I did with it. It could be the tank isn't leaking-- certainly it's not running out of the air holes-- and I got a bit over enthusiastic wetting the cotton before filling the tank. I think I'd probably cut the tails 1/8" longer, though, get a bit more cotton down on the deck. And airish! I have the vents half closed and it breathes better than my Foggers. Never had a tank before that I had to close the vent down some. Usually I'm boring the bases for more air, and throwing away the ring. Very nice The wider drip tip feels a bit unusual in my mouth, but it's making vapor and flavor like crazy. That 6mm chimney makes up for a lot of sins, IMHO. Soon as I get the wicking right, to stop the leaks, I think I'll be as happy with it as I can be with a single coil tank. And I think a Clapton coil would give more flavor, too. Still, I'm going to vape a tank or two with this build, see where it goes. My thanks to all in the thread who have recommended this: it's a fine tank.

Clapton works really well this tank so when you get a chance mane one. I got two tanks running, one with a clapton...another with a similar buikd to the pre installed but a bit bigger. Both wicked wih Rayon and they are just very reliable and great vapes.
I use clapton coil in my lemo2
And I think I won't using single wire coil anymore
And I think I won't using single wire coil anymore
I have never used clapton, but I do use twisted NI200/Kanthal A1 and have been loving it for the last several weeks on the Lemo 2 using TC.I use clapton coil in my lemo2
And I think I won't using single wire coil anymore
well...I never use any ni200 wire
but from single, twisted, parallel, clapton coil......I am not going to use other than clapton except I am running out of clapton wire
IMHO.....clapton give me the best flavour than others
For the last several weeks I have been doing a spaced coil using 3mm, 26ga NI200 twisted with 30ga Kanthal A1. I use 6/7 wraps. It works because electricity follows the path of least resistance which is the NI200 so the resistance of the Kanthal A1 is negligible. It provides for stiff coil making and it is easier to build due to the added strength of the Kanthal A1. I believe the twist provides more surface area for the ejuice too. There is a slightly longer ramp up time, but not much where it is a factor to me. Maybe 1/2 second or so. I use this same coil on my Lemo 2, Kangertech Mini, and my Delta 2. The resistance comes comes out to be between .059 to .076 ohms, depending on the atty. My Lemo 2 is my favorite with the resistance being between .065 to .075. Great flavor and vapor with this combination. I twisted up about 12 feet and made about a dozen coils one after the other and use one about every 2-3 weeks as a replacement when needed.Tc works with that build? Tell me more.
That make sense about the resistance but it was suggested by several that the kanthal would melt the nickel. I guess it would if it could get hot enough. I've been usin a 28g single spaced coil but have been thinkin of trying a double twisted ni200. It should make a more workable coil also and factor in on the resistance. Maybe tomorrow.
Yeah, maybe if I let the coil glow red, but not with TC. The coil is very firm and solid even after a couple of weeks. Still good but dark due to the ejuices after that so I usually just change the coil due to having them and why not? Early in the SXM thread a few folks were twisting 30ga NI200 together because they didn't have 28ga but there may have even been someone who use twisted 28ga. That would drop the resistance down quite a bit requiring more wraps if you have the room in the atty.
My next challenge is building dual NI200 coils in my Zephyrus if it ever gets here. I have been waiting on VaporTechUSA for almost 3 weeks due to a back order on my Mutation X V4 which is also on the same order. They claim delays in shipping from China. I am thinking of using twisted 2.5mm 30ga NI200 and 30ga Kanthal A1 for that atty.
I was gonna try the 28 to see if I could make one small enough to fit and see where it ohmed out, but I've already planned on ordering thinner wire along with some Ti wire. I'm also planning on building a Hellboy and a Marquis for TC.
