hi + lemo problems

[Nightsx]

Hi my lemo tank's ohms are jumping all over between 1.2 and 4 then sometimes it doesn't even fire for multiple button presses. Any ideas? It did work fine until I rebuilt the coil. Now I've rebuilt probably 5 coils and it does the same on each of them. I'm using a mvp 20w on max wattage voltage settings. The wire is 26 gauge kenthal a-1 and my coil is 3.5 mm about 7 wraps. Should be about 1.2 ohms.

Usual culprits are the wires are not secure , 510 pin on the base of the lemo is not making a good enough connection ( try letting it out)
connection on your mod may need a clean.

That sounds like the mod, not the Lemo. It is possible that the 510 connection is poor. On the MVP20w, is the hole where you connect the Lemo in, is it dirty in there?

I just took the whole thing apart and meticulously checked every detail until I finally came to where I needed to put in the liquid. I put in the liquid and immediately everything went crazy. A 1.1 ohm coil reading 3.4 ohms. I have no idea why this could happen. On the lemo there are two canals for routing cotton down to the tank. I did route cotton down. Is this something that could be causing it? It seems like the liquid's resistance is being calculated.

Once I was having trouble getting the lemo apart and I stuck this mini screwdrive into one of the air holes to try and have something to push on. Well I pushed and it deformed the metal around the air hole a little. I wonder if maybe it messed up something else inside there? Its worked fine for a long time after that though. It works fine all the way until I put liquid in it.

Did you unscrew the screw that sits in the middle of the airflow? The airflow ring is the washer like object around the screw. If you had loosened that screw this would happen. Let us know if that helps

Does eliquid get into the bottom compartment?

 

[Nightsx]

I've loosened it and people at the vape shop have taken it completely out before. There is no liquid any place it shouldn't be that I can see. The airflow screw is tightened down at the moment. There is no play to it. I don't know... this just sucks.

Try adjusting the 510 pin. That is a usual reason for weird fluctuations on the Lemo. Your mod could also be the culprit. Can you try the Lemo on another mod? Do other toppers work without issues on your mpv? Are you attaching your coils to the screws or are you using the holes?

PD: Do NOT route the wicking material into the juice canals. The cotton should be pressed against the deck with the juice canals open.

I had a similar problem a friend fixed it for me.

I suggest you talk to these guys--they have all the answers:

Welcome to the forum and good luck!

Well I went out and bought another lemo. It worked much better but not perfect. On another forum someone suggested this trick with putting an o ring around the 510 pin, the one that moves up and down. Well I basically did this except I had to form the o ring into an 8 and double wrap it around the post to do it. I've done this to both my lemos and they both seem to be working much better. I mean I put it above the white insulating o ring if you have a lemo you probably know what I mean.

I've had this issues before. Turned out my bottom cap attached to the 510 threads was not screwed in all the way into the rta base. Sometimes it would come loose when I unscrew the whole lemo to refill it and put it back on, my ohms would jump around. I just made sure the bottom cap with the 510 threads was tightened all the way on to the base that is attached to the deck. I hope this made sense.
