As the title says, I'm really frustrated with my Lemo Drop, either I have 0 taste buds now and can only taste Cinnamon, or my Lemo is getting nearly 8% flavor but full vapor
I've tried numerous builds and tried to wick it different ways, over the juice channels, not over the juice channels, more wick, less wick
I've tried a dual coil 0.64ohm build wrapped around a 3/32nd drillbit, that didn't work
I've tried a crazy-8 style coil .44 ohm wrapped on a 1/8th drillbit, couldn't taste anything on it either
I've tried a normal coil .73 ohm on a 5/32 drillbit, same no flavor

Room mate who vapes also says no flavor, only an extremely faint taste at the end of each exhale.
I'm getting really frustrated with this thing, at first it leaked non-stop, I found that screwing the top chimney into the cap so the o-ring seats first stopped that
But I'm seriously getting tired of this thing having issues, the only thing I can taste on it is Hard Cocktail's Devil's Cut which in my Atlantis is strong enough to make my throat get that cinnamon burn after a lung hit, but is tasteable without any cinnamon burn in my lemo
 
The lemo has a fairly large chamber and a somewhat long air path, so it mutes flavor. It also needs medium to high airflow to work correctly (IMO), this also tends to mute flavor. Unfortunately it does this by design, there really isn't anything wrong with it. Specific builds can make it work better or worse for flavor, but at the end of the day it isn't a flavor atty.

Try a higher resistance coil, from your description of coils, it sounds like you have at least 30 watts to use. When I first got my Lemo's I did the low resistance builds, then I read a post on this forum regarding the benefits of higher ohm coils on regulated devices, low ohm's are for mechs. Higher ohm coils means more wraps, which means more surface area, which means more vapor and more flavor and on regulated devices you can push as much power to it as you need.

Try a 28g 8 wrap around a 6-32 machine screw that will give you a 2.5mm ID (spaced coil), the resistance should be about 1.6. Fire it at at least 23 watts for a cool'ish vape, or higher for a warmer vape. I went up to 30 watts and the Lemo kept up fine, but it was too warm for my liking.
