Just the Airflow, you are having problem with?
What brand?

The reason I'm asking is because I've tried, pretty much all Squape R[eloaded] clones and, except for E.H.Pro one, they all had "Short Circuiting" problem due to BAD E-Metal coating used. I re-designed all of mine and they are fine now.

And, don't forget the 510 Base drilling and Insulator installing:

I have a Lemo, nice airflow and nice, overall tank...

But FLAVOR?

Kayfun V4 is number 1 (in my book)

Number 2 is Squape R and Rose V2

Taifun GT II hasn't arrived yet.

I get incredible flavor out of my Lemos
I run them at 4.2 volts / 15 watts with a 1.1 ohm coil. I get a smooth deep flavor and great plumage.

I don't know man, maybe I just didn't get a good grip on the Lemo yet. But I have it built the same way just like I build my Kayfuns (Fourth included) with a little bit larger coil diameter. Rayon wick, shaved tails. Same E-Liquid. Nickel Ni200 28 Gauge on DNA40.
It just doesn't taste as good as Kayfun V4 for me. Sorry.

Not going to force you to like it.
You could always PIF it to me?
Hate to see a great piece of equipment go under appreciated.

0.8mm X 0.1mm welded to 28 Gauge Nickel wire leads.

Good answer, I just ordered 100' of .8 x 1 ribbon wire from Lightening Vapes.
I want to try a wave coil. If it performes as well as it looks ( I know I will be the only one to see it), then it will rock.
Currently changing my thoughts on sub ohming. With the Lemos kicking out the way they do with flavor and plumage at 1.1 ohms, I am thinking of trying higher ohms in my mechanicals just to experiment a bit. See how it affects the flavor. and all that.

Nice 'n tidy! I've got a nickel build on my Lemo Drop; 0.15ohm, running at 20 watts and 420F on my new VaporShark rDNA40. It's an ugly but functional build this time. REALLY diggin' both the Lemo and the VaporShark! Next time I do a tear-down I'll post (embarrassing) photos of my coil, heh. It's better than my 1st and 2nd builds at least! :)

I caught a YouTube video on what they are calling a "Tidal" coil build using Tidal wire, so I decided to make some.
The tidal wire is 4 strands of 30 guage wire twisted, and then you lay a strand of kanthal ribbon wire(in this case is is .8mm) along it and untwist the 29 gauge.
Here is what the wire looks like. Ever try and focus on wire?

Here are the two coils I wrapped.
The A7 bottom feeder: @ .5 ohms



The Plume Veil bottom feeder: @ .6 ohms

Mutation X. 0.5 Ohm, 26 gauge Kanthal A1, 9 wraps, 3mm diameter.

Not been vaping with a RDA in a while, and I have to say the KFL+ is much better. I dislike the hard hit and lack in flavor.

Try letting more air get around your coils. Best way I have found for that is to use a pair of pointed tweezers when I wet the cotton down.

Also, lift the coils up a bit. It looks like (on the MX airflow) the bottom 3 will hit the coils, the middle 3 might hit over them, and the top 3 go straight to your mouth. Try to center the coils in the airflow so the lower goes under, middle hits dead on, and top hits over. This will help you get the vapor 360º from the coil. Also, closing the airflow off and doing vertical coils instead may help you a bit too. More airflow generally means less flavor, so in order to get the MX's airflow to play nice with a coil you're going to have to make the coil with the airflow you want in mind.
