eleaf has popped onto the scene from nowhere and it getting a lot of attention very quickly between the Lemo and the istick .. Very nice my British boo, but why does it look gunmetal color in the second pic?? I am definitely liking that it is 23mm, but can you use other drip tips?

Got my eleaf lemo today, so now have a black 23mm topper to go with my black 23mm devices, right now got it on the turtleship, really easy to build on, easier than a kayfun, due to the large deck and good deck screws, does have a very large pyrex tank, but wouldn't say the flavor is any better than a kayfun though, one thing some people would like with it, is the air flow, I normally use max air flow with everything, but did have to dial back the air flow on the lemo, as was to airer for me fully open, but sure can be used for lung inhales.

I really like Nikki's porn but I think our tastes mesh better. So, big bad wolf, you're the one I need to watch out for!

If it makes you feel any better, ever since you mentioned the Silver Dragon I've been obsessing over the 18650 version. So it looks like we are bad for each other's wallets :D

NOOOO DRIFTER stop with that thought. The 18650 doesn't have an insulator in the firing switch and people are complaining about it getting hot. The 26650 is the was to go, girth you know :oops: it has an insulator and doesn't have any problems so far! C'mon dragon breath is good for the soul :evil:

Awesome review as always Nikki, be interested to see the follow up to this one :D

Thanks honey boo .. I like the first Wotofo that I got a lot, but I have high hopes and expectations for the Robbot ZNA. I am already prepared for how heavy its going to be, I just hope that the machining is on point, and that it functions well. But as per usual, I will give you all my honest thoughts about it.

Damn, I need a new RBA for the Robbot though :p I really love the Rose/Wotofo pairing, so I need something equally attractive .. Cindy and Weezy could help if they would post that dern Orchid porn already :rules:

Cindy gets a pass because her phone/camera has issues, but Weezy betta break out that light box and get to snapping! :glare:

Thanks for another great review Nikki !!! I think I'm gonna wait for your thoughts about the 316 version before I decide which route to go.


Thanks you Drifter honey :) As soon as I have a that Robbot in my hands I will post some close up pics for your expert examination. Being a machinist you will know better than anyone if the machining is up to snuff, because I have heard many times how hard 316L is to machine. So looking forward to your thoughts as well. :)

    It is just the lighting in the 2nd picture, matches pretty good with the turtle ship, the turtle ship has a little bit more shine to the lemo, but not really much of a difference. The drip tip is changeable, I just not looked in my box of drip tips yet to see if got anything good to go with it.

    Got to play with it more though, 1st build I used 24 gauge and came out at 0.60ohms and the coil worked well, but I pretty got no flavor, so then rebuilt using 28 gauge which came to 1.10ohms, flavor was better, but getting burnt hits, so going to try another build on it.

    Not a bad tank and has some real pluses, like the air flow and juice capacity, but it's nothing wow to make me rush and get another one.

    You so are right Nelson, I am surprised too! :laugh: I had wanted one so bad, and my poor Paps doesn't have partner. But with all this review stuff its like I don't really get to buy or use what I want for me. :cry: And forget about vaping for the fun of it :p .. Gotta find out why FC is not selling it anymore, and I actually think that the Heron would make a good review too.

    I might be slow getting to it, but I will eventually end up with one. It must be badass if you are saying its better than the Rose V2 :ohmy:

    Yes I'm waiting on Weezy too, not ordered the Orchid yet, waiting to hear what he thinks of it before I pull the trigger on it.

    Thanks for the feedback about the lack of a insulator. I wasn't aware of any issues with the 18650 version. However I'm not deterred, since I work in a machine shop I can always mod the switch and make my own insulator for it ;) I just fell in love with the engravings, so I got to have one :)

    You changed builds so fast! IMO Kayfun styles need a few hours to a full day before the flavor really comes through fully, so you should have given your build more break in time. But that is one thing that I like about the Rose, I get way more flavor out of the gate with it, and by day two the flavor is really intense.

    So the Lemo can accept other drip tips then?

    Perfect! The engravings are really nice and classy looking, not over the top bump ups like the other dragon mod I've seen.

    I know all about "gotta have it"...if my hubby ever finds out how much it cost he sure won't like it as much. hehe

    I can deal with light flavor, but had no flavor at all, right now it sure isn't close on par with my russian, but going to do another build and will see if it breaks in :)

    Yes it does accept other drip tips ;)

    One real negative for me though, I got it before I went to bed this morning, so broke it down and let it soak to clean, and there was light rust around the fill screw, not even had that from cheap kayfuns/foggers from fasttech/focal, so was surprised to see it from the lemo.

    I'll get the pics soon. Just got home. But..........I did a detour to that local vape shop that opened near by. The usual trying to sell me their line of juices. Blah!!!! I acted like a rookie at first. Then their egotistic kicked in. Him and his buddy. Something caught my eye out of the corner. Was the Turtle Ship V3. Price tag said 250. I was ...??? Let me see that mod bro. I really don't think that was an authentic they claim it is. My clone looks 10x's better.

    They started to giggle and continuing to chuck clouds around me. Woo wee I was excited but didn't bring my gear. Only my Kayfun. But my Kayfun modified was chucking as much as them lol.

    Anywho sorry for the rant. Taking the Orchid apart as we speak for a scrub down. Then will get pics after the wifey leaves. :evil:

    I love Dragons and have a lot of Dragon stuff around the house, so this mod will fit right in here :) Hopefully the engravings on the 18650 version areas nice as the ones on your 26650 :) Once I get it I will post some pics and any fixes to the switch I might have to make to get it to function properly. Thanks again for turning me on to this mod :)

    Oh no Nailz :( I was thinking about getting one of these. Was it the screw or the atty that rusted ?

    You know it. I got a killer build right now in the TOBH and Plumeveil. Next time lol.

    I stopped in there to grab some good juices they "supposedly" had. I lost my brand new Five Pawn juice and need it for my trip. :( I think it got swiped at work.

    I can just picture it now:
    You walk in, take one good vape, cloud the place, smile, wink and walk out :D

    Bummer that your gonna have to keep your 5 pawns juice under lock and key at work.
    You could always put it in a MTBaker bottle to throw those thieves off ;)
