I have a bunch of PT2's, got a Lemo a while ago. It took me a while to get the hang of the Lemo. You will likely be burning through a lot more juice with the Lemo, and getting a lot more nicotine. Maybe you need to get some lower nic juice. Maybe you have the power a little high and the vapor is hotter than it should be. Maybe you need to play with the air flow. Maybe you need to experiment with wicks. The Lemo is a lot different from what you have been using. There are a lot of variables to play with. Like I said, it took me quite a while to get comfortable with it, I like fairly low power and restricted air flow, very cool vape. There are so many different ways to use a Lemo. Just keep experimenting is my advice. Good luck with it.
I went from a regular Aspire tank to a Russian 91% and built 1.5 ohm coils. The vape was suddenly so violent I had instant headaches and coughed every puff I took. I went back to the store and bought a 9 mg nic juice instead of my usual 18mg juice. More advanced tank means more nic hit. I'm now down to 6mg on RBA tanks else I get headaches. I can to up to 9mg on a Nautilus tank but still can handle 18mg in regular tanks.
I also noticed that fruit flavors irritate my throat on RBA tanks unless I let them air a bit. No problem on starter tanks, although I'm not crazy about fruit flavors anyways.

How much juice are you consuming now vs with the old setup? And perhaps the higher temp releases more nicotine. No real studies data either way on it. Wish we had some data to work with on it.
I have 24 mg juice no headaches or anything else just sore throat I got the af almost closed cause I'm not a lung hitter right now it's a 1.9 ohm coil 4.0 v 8.55 watts I wouldn't think it would be that much of a difference I was using 1.5 ohm dual bottom coils on my evod 2 at 4.2 v I just don't get why the sore throat
Did you clean out your new atty really good? Using dawn and or vinegar, etc? Machining oil residue will give exactly the results you are getting.
A few thoughts ChiBear.
It's a lot more about the watts than the ohms. If you double the watts you're almost vaporizing double the juice per puff. IMO at 8.55 watts with the Lemo, you really have not changed enough to make power a factor though.
OTOH, it's new gear and you might be vaping a lot more than you did with the evod 2. I know when I get new gear I vape more on it for a while than what I was doing before. Nicotine irritates my throat. I mostly vape zero-nic and when I vape some nic I feel it.
I don't know what wire the Evod uses, but it could be NiChrome and you're probably using Kanthal now. The Evod also probably uses silica wicks and you're using cotton now. Not many people have negative reactions to Kanthal or cotton, but you never know.
There's nothing wrong with going back to the old setup for a bit, get comfortable again and then re-introduce the new one in a more controlled manner.

Some good points ryedan I'm actually vaping it less but even with the af dialed down I'm getting a lot more vape than the evod I haven't had any issues with nic before could be the new coil and wick not noticing any dry hits and robert yes I cleaned it out with dawn and rinsed and wiped it up realgood but I am noticing a machine oil taste so when im done with this tank I'm gonna clean it out again real good and rewick it maybe build a new coil closer to 1.5 ohms hopefully it's just from trying something new
Ryedan had good points. Some Japanese cottons have also been reported to give a "dry" throat feelings at first IIRC. As I said, many parameters and I'm sure you still have that old tank... trial and error solves a lot of problems through experimentation. You can't be totally stuck if you still have your original setup... hang in there, I'm sure you'll figure it out in a matter of days.
EDIT: just saw you posted right before me... also you might be using too little or too much cotton... rebuilding is an art form, not an exact science.

The Bears suck
Besides that with 1.9 coil at 8.5w there isnt much i can think of besides maybe the cotton is irritating your throat. People always throw out lower your nic, I dont know why maybe Its all they know. U didnt mention dry hits So im guessing that isnt an issue. So the only thing I can say is try Rayon or silica and see if that helps.
Agreed I'm new to the whole rta thing this is my first build so I'm sure it'll work itself out with more experimentation I just dont wanna waste my juice thats why I'm waiting to clean it again and rewick it next time I'll put less juice in so if I have a problem I can change things quicker appreciate everyone's thoughts and suggestions love ecf
Machine oil. Lol stop watching riptrippers. Unless it only rarely comes on authentics I dont know a single person who has ever had machine oil on a authentic or clone. If tobecco doesnt have machine oil then it must be rare.
Riptrippers is also the only big famous reviewer who mentions machine oil. Ive never heard busardo, gg, twister or suckmymod mention it. Thats part of the reason i laugh. Im guessing he got a dirty RDA once and now his weird a$S mentions it in every RDA review
Cheese is better then whine(cutler). The titans wouldnt even take him LoL. The Only thing Cutler has on Rodgers Is that his wife is hotter Then rodgers GF
