Lemo 2 coil build

[bman1977]

Just got one of these bad boys. I'm trying to rebuild the coil and failing miserably. I can build on the Kanger STM fine. This thing throws me of because of the way the legs get tucked and bent under. Does anyone know of a really good build tutorial? I found a couple on YouTube but they haven't really helped. I thought this was a good beginner tank but I'm thinking otherwise now. Please help.

Don't worry about tucking the legs under into the holes, just trap them directly under the screw heads. It's much easier.

For my Lemo 1 I always built it by wrapping the wires under the screw heads.

Aha. Thank you sir. I'm going to try this.

I've only tried once to trap the coil legs in the holes, it was much easier to just wrap the legs around the post screws.

Not to mention that extra length could throw your resistance off a bit.

good old fashioned regular old coil... I just cant get behind legend 200 matrix zip line twisted nether acid rain jimmi Hendrix fused fart knuckle coils... Just a coil... maybe two of them... LOL

Lemo is hard to beat!

BTW I just switch my screw with M1.6 x 3 mm Cheese Head Screw, The head is larger and more "square" so much easier to fit fat coil underneath it. Doing fused clapton 28g Nichrome 40g Kanthal wrap sweet.

Altho 40g kanthal is a pain to wrap. In retrospect not such a great idea to go that thin for my first clapton. Failed so many time before making a semi decent wrap. I had to make a jig with ball bearing snap swivel (I used smaller snap swivel than on the video). But now it is sweet.

I got my screw from amazon but you may find somewhere with cheaper shipping.

by the way, how many wraps are there????? i can see that is about 28g or 30g?

Hahaha I'm not sure, I just grabbed the photo off the web to give the OP a visual. I run twisted 28ga in my Lemo at .9 ohm and it hits like a freight train at 32.5 watts.

Hahaha, i see! I intend to use 26g twisted kanthal for my lemo 2 when the shipment is here. Wonder what's the result...hehehe...

I have a Lemo 2 and just put the wire through the holes rather than under the screws. Don't know if it affects flavour or performance. Haven't tried under the screws way as I the wire keeps slipping out. Might have something to do with the thickness of the wire. I'm using 28g.

I go through the wholes. If you pre bend the wires it's pretty simple. Looks allot better.

Yes, i got the twisted kanthal yesterday and i wick it about 8 wraps, 2.5mm, 26g actually, comes out at 0.74ohm and my tank get very hot if i chain vape~ haha but i love the vapor and flavor. Will try to reduce the wrap to 5 wraps and see how it goes.

You'll soon get the hang of it.
The Lemo tanks are the easiest decks to build on.
Keep trying.
