:thumbs::thumbs:i have not had anything like this and I love it!! I've been rebuilding coils for my pro tanks and Aerotank but wanted to get a tank I i can build sub ohm. I love this but came pre built so I'll just enjoy it for now then get on with coil building on a deck. So much cloud too!!! Also doubles as a dripper!!! Very happy. :thumbs::vapor:

Currently trying to figure out how to wick the dang thing. I have tried 4 times and get dry hits on any pull over 2 seconds. Kind of a drag no pun intended. I've only watched one video on it and it took this guy 28 minutes to complete it. Just wicking!! It can't be that hard. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have the wick touch the bottom of the (sorry terminology escapes me) deck. I am pretty sure I'm just blocking the holes where the juice comes in. I fan out the ends of the wick but I think when stuffing it down after screwing down the tube that surrounds the wick an coil, it bunches up and blocks the slots. Only get a small bubble after inhaling, and only on one side. And yes I'm pre wetting the wick. I'll get it eventually but hope it won't cost a whole bottle of juice.

Thin out those wick tails... just touching the deck... make sure to leave the juice channels open.

I currently have a .5 ohm 3 mm coil in with rayon and it wicks like a champ...I can do deep 5 second lung hits even while chain vaping and the hits just keep on coming.

I have 4 Lemo 2 tanks. I cut the wick even with the side of the build deck, wet it, then stick it to the side of the deck. Then screw on the chimney base and stick a screw driver down over the juice channel and clear the wick out of the way.

I did that this morning as I saw a picture and thought it made sense. Well it worked....mostly. But very happy. Still get dry hit over 5 second draw so I'm getting it. One thing I notice air bubbles come up on one side and thinking I blocked the other side. :thumb:

I normally just get one side getting air bubbles at a time. It's probably because the pressure is going to take the path with the least resistance, and one will always be different than the other regardless of wick amount.

Just rewicked it. Even better now. Got a 9 second drag at 32 watts on 6 ohm coil. That's a huge draw for me and a little too warm but wanted to test it hard. Pretty happy Vaper here. Thanks all for your input!!! :thumb::thumb::toast:

I'm becoming a big fan of the lemo. It's a simple little tank that works. My only complaint is not being able to remove the deck without draining it.

I've had some success turning it upside down holding the tank and top together tight with one hand put the bottom down and with two hands put the tank down top first. Got it to keep the juice three of four tries. It's a gamble but my first wicks were so bad, I had no choice. Now I've got it down. Other than that I'm not sure why you would want to do that.

I change the cotton every 3 days or so, so I would like to do it mid tank if I feel like doing it but the tank isn't empty. That's all. Or to make minor adjustments.

Start using rayon cellucotton -- them it'll be weeks before you need to re-wick :)

I was hoping my Lemo 2 was going to be here today, but, alas, not.

You might want to try what I did on my Subtank Mini. Drill two holes in the side of the chimney where the cotton sits. Here's a video that explains it further:

I know a friend of mine did it to his Lemo 2 with perfect results. I'm about to do it to my Lemo 2, too. I have nothing but good experience with my Subtank with this modification. Instant full saturation, every time! :)

UPDATE: Talking about it, I finally got myself to sit down and drill the holes into the Lemo 2 chimney. And it works just fine. I used a 3/32 drill bit, no flooding, really good and fast wicking. Running it on a 1.1 Ohm 26G 3mm coil at the moment at 35 Watts. No dry hits. I definitely recommend this little modification. Just make sure to drill the holes height wise right where the deck starts and right above the juice holes in the bottom. Double and triple check that every time you screw the chimney on, you land on the same spot and the holes are in the same place! If you do it right, the holes sit right in front of the cotton. Wicking becomes a lot easier too, since you don't have to get it perfect every time, as long as the cotton covers the holes, you are okay. Good luck! :)

Hey Sevarin thanks for that. I'm A little leary of doing that at the moment but may do it down the road. I'm Not having too hard a time wicking it now. I get the sides all nice and feathered then put some juice on, push the ends around the opening and screw on the chimney. Stays right where I put it and yes...a dry hit here and there but only if I hit too long and right after I hit again. I rarely do that.
