ELEAF LEMO on its way

Hi Jay4. I have 2 Lemos and a Kayfun and love both of them. I find the flavor to be much better than using purchased coils in the Kanger tanks (my go to tanks for convenience). The Lemo comes with a pre-built, wicked coil already attached. I decided to try it out in the first one I got and it worked like a charm. I did rewick with my preferred Japanese cotton, but the coil has been extremely reliable. It measured 1.1 on my ohm meter. I just replaced the wick (after about 4 tanks) and dry burned the coil and it is still going strong. After looking at the wick I probably should have rewicked after 2 or at the most 3 tanks. But the flavor was still better than my Kanger tank. I can't remember exactly what I used to build the coil for the 2nd Lemo but it is reading as a 1.4 ohm. Only on my first tank with that coil so we'll see how well my coil holds up compared to the factory installed coil.
One difference between the two tanks is the way the pieces fit together. On the Kayfun all the separate pieces screw together. On the Lemo the only thing holding the entire thing together is when you screw the top piece onto the top piece of the chimney. The glass tank just sits between the bottom deck and the top piece - there are no threads that screw it to the top and bottom. This makes it really difficult to top fill - the whole thing tends to come apart when you unscrew the section unless you have a really good grip on the tank and are holding it firmly against the bottom deck.
The Lemo has an adjustable air flow (which is found when you unscrew the very bottom piece with the 510 connector. This is also where the fill port is located. The air flow control is a little wonky but it does seem to work.
I had been discouraged with my previous attempts to do a rebuildable tank. Every one I tried I had juice leaking out the air holes. It was driving me crazy. When I got the Lemo I watched PBusardo's review of the Lemo on TasteYourJuice.com and he did a build during the review. I followed exactly what he did and never had a drop of juice leaking from the tank. I actually used the same technique for the Kayfun and I haven't had any leaks with that either. The key seems to be the amount of wicking used and the placement.
Sorry this was so long - hope it helps. Good luck. I'm sure you will enjoy the Lemo.

Hey Dani, have you used the silicon gasket in the bottom as opposed to using the fill screw? Not a lot of people have mentioned it.
I should have mine this week and I'm excited. My new setup even made me want to sign up on ECF!

Glad I could help. I'm sure I've forgotten some stuff. I really suggest watching PBusardo's review. It was really helpful. Let me know how it works out.
Hi Emryz. Yes, I am using the silicon gasket. It is much easier than the fill screw. Just a note though - the little silicon plug does not fit all the way down in the hole. I was worried that it would leak but so far no problem. When I went to refill there was a little moisture - almost like what you get when something steams up - but no actual leak.
I just ordered another Lemo which came this morning and this one didn't have the silicone port gaskets
Luckily the other two I ordered came with 2 each so I have an extra.I would really advise watching PBusardo's video review of the Lemo. It really helped me.
Good luck - I'm sure you will love it.
There is actually a thread on this device itself. It seems to be getting a lot of good reviews, seems that with the massive airflow and the huge build deck people have been able to build some interesting setups with this device (parallel coils, dual coils etc) I am waiting to get mine as well, I think this might make me regret buying my Evic Supreme a little less as it will hybrid connect with it, kinda looks cool on there. Also, check out the thread on the Lemo people have had some interesting ways to deal with the airflow control which is a bit loose, moding the connection with springs and o-rings seems to be popular.
I ordered mine from vapenw.com I have ordered from them a number of times and they are really great. They are a relatively new company if I remember correctly so obviously trying to build a reputation. On my last order there was a problem with one of the items I ordered and they actually called me Saturday morning to see if I would accept a newer model of what I ordered for no extra charge. They are located on the west coast and I'm on the east coast and it was delivered this morning.
Good point Mccannch. I read through all the threads before buying. They were really helpful.
What are you running it on? Are you using the build it came with or did you build something else?
I've had my Lemo for about a month and it is my favorite tank! Better than my Kayfuns, Aqua, Squape, RSBT, Pontus and RSST. I can't wait to buy another and a Lemo Drop!
The only con for me is the loose adjustable 510 pin. Something I can live with until I get a tiny oring to fix it.
So I tried the coil that came in it. Ehh it was just ok. I then tried my typical kayfun 1.5 ohm 28 gauge microcoil and again it was good but not great. I next tried a 1.3 ohm parallel 30 gauge and it was very slow to heat up and unsatisfying. I've never run a sub-ohm coil in an RTA but decided to try it. I wrapped a 2.4 mm, 26 gauge, .8 ohm microcoil wicked with sterile cotton and Oh Boy that's the ticket!! Vapes like a dream, not too hot or cold, no floods and no dry hits even when chain vaping! Since that build I've made a .8 ohm 26 gauge microcoil every time. This tank with the huge airflow and big juice channels love sub-ohms, IMO!
I should add I'm using it on a Overdose clone with a 2Puffs driptip

I'll have to try a .8 ohm coil when this one finally craps out. Thanks for the info.
i used 26g kanthal, about 7-8 wraps or so and came out to 1.2 ohms and running it on the sigelei 100w at 17.5 watts/4.7volts. the flavor is amazing and vapor production is incredible.. also using 80vg/20pg mix.
I ordered one today also and I cant wait! Glad you started this post.. Great information everyone
I really like the lemo drop, performs great! I would still say that a dual coil build on the billow is better. Lemo is a superior single build though. Waiting for my kayfun v4 ehpro clone to come in to compare the 3. Both lemo and billow leak if on their sides for an extended time, kayfun looks to have fixed that with the juice control shut off. All 3 tanks are fantastic though, can't really go wrong.
I've found that a .9ohm 26ga 2.4mm coil gives me the best performance in the lemo.
