Hey all...I've been building for a few months now and I finally came across an rta that made me understand why folks build their own. I get tremendous flavor from my Erlkonigin clone but the vapor production isn't as good as even my Genitank and nautilus Mini. I usually vape at 1-1.5 ohms and build using 30g Kanthal. I wick with cellucotton as it seems to be the easiest to work with though I do have some Koh Gen Do which I haven't had success with on other RTAs. My question is how can I get a bit more vapor production and not lose the stellar flavor I'm already getting? I'm a mouth to lung hitter and prefer a 50/50 with 6mg nic.

And a second question while I'm chatty...is the Lemo good for us mouth to lung hitters? I hear great things about it but it's always about the airflow which is less a concern for us.

Thanks all!!! :)

I have an authentic ErlPrinz and an ErlK clone. Both seem to perform comparably and produce quite a bit of vapor (more than my Kayfuns) when functioning properly. I can generally run my Erls at higher watts than my Kayfuns which probably explains the increased vapor. For me, vapor production depends greatly on the juice as well. Some juices just produce way more vapor than others. Hope this helps.
 
I've got a lemo, it really seems like a nice atty but I haven't been able to get it to work as expected for mouth to lung inhales. With straight lung hits it works great, but that's not the way I want to vape most of the time. I've had 8 builds in it so far, from 1 to 3 ohms, 28 and 30 awg, cotton and rayon. It just seems to suffocate with the low airflow. Opening up the airflow for even a slow lung hit greatly enhances the performance, but it seems that its only just getting started at the end of a mouth inhale.
