I will add that the Lemo is better, at least so far, than the Orchid v2 or 3 or whatever it is that just arrived. The airflow is adjustable on the Lemo, even if it is a pain to adjust. I like having the option. Flavor wise, I'd say the Lemo and Orchid are on par. However, the Lemo is much easier to build. Personally, I think the flavor is better with the Russian 91, but not by a lot. The Lemo is a great value at around $30.

I'm impressed, I have never used one, thanks for the heads up, what kind of builds are you guys running in those things?

I have run dual coils, there's plenty of room, but my favorite build has been a 26ga single coil, 10 wraps at 2.4mm wicked with cotton for use on my 30 watt Cloupor box. Comes to about 1.2Ω and rocks at 20-25 watts.

I may re-visit dual coils tonight. Previous dual coil build was 28ga, but I'd like to do it with 26ga which does make it a little trickier to capture under the screw posts. The Lemo does have holes to capture the wires as well, but haven't worked out the logistics of using them for a dual coil build.

Could you show pics of a build using only the holes being used, please.

I haven't actually run a build using only the holes. Dual coils with the deck holes proved to be to difficult, so I instead wrapped both leads around the screw at the same time.

"Kentucky Josh" on you tube shows a single coil build using the deck holes. My preference is to trap the leads under the screws.

The Lemo comes with a great looking build in it using the deck hole screws and I've read it vapes very well.

If you want to use the build that's in it for awhile, just make sure you disassemble it to the point of removing the top chimney section so you can prime the cotton with e-liquid before filling the atomizer.

I have been looking at the Lemo, I have two Kayfun Lites and my question is , Does the Lemo's airflow close enough so that it is comparable to a Kayfun?

I am not a lung hitter and don't really like an airy draw, but I do like single coil, and a glass tank.

Or, are there any other single coil RTA's with a glass tank work looking at?
