Since I got the Lemo Drop, I haven't touched my KF 3.1 anymore. Man...I am getting spoiled.
That's impressive. I trap single 26 or 28, but if I'm using 24 (which is rare) I actually finesse it into the post holes. It's not the most difficult thing in the world, but it certainly isn't easy while keeping the coil looking nice
Same for me when I am at home. Great device. But if I leave the house the Lemo's stay home. One too many incidents of wet shirt pocket.
I carry 2 extra with me every day, they are transport safe.Same for me when I am at home. Great device. But if I leave the house the Lemo's stay home. One too many incidents of wet shirt pocket.
Why don't YOU take a shot at fixing his problem instead of taking shots at others, Canno?
As it is, I think WW has done a great job illustrating proper wicking techniques and tank seal tests to address this issue. Not much more a fella can do imo.

@yooperdad : glad you're enjoying the Lemo ... let us know if we can help you with your leaking issues. As WW implies, they shouldn't leak, but there are a lot of factors that can contribute to them leaking... and a lot of experienced Lemo users here who have have overcome various leaking issues
You should seriously look at the build weird willie posted. Without a doubt, when done as described, really does give a good vape and also go a long way in preventing leakage!
If you have not tried it and continue to have leaking issues, you really are doing a disservice to the atty IMHO!

Come to think of it, None of my Lemos have flooded to the point of leaking, EVER!
Wish I could say that about the rest of my toppers

Mine have, but only if I'm trying to get through a tank after refilling enough times that the wick has shifted around... that leads to dry hits, which leads to drawing with the airflow covered to try to prime it, which USUALLY (for me) leads to overpriming.
So basically user error. I didn't check and adjust the wick when I should have, then I tried to fix the problem the easy way and made it worse.
I tried willies build a week or so ago, but I must have not had the wicking correct. I didn't get dry hits or anything, the vape was just.... meh. Maybe it was my juice, or maybe I had some of the build slightly off. Who knows? lol I just wick it the way that has worked best for me so far. Don't worry Willie, once I get my 3rd Lemo I'll get your build right and be in juicy vape heaven xD
For the love of all things good and just, please tell me you aren't vaping anything other than Nicoticket after all you do live in the hometown of the headquarters of the best E-liquids on the planet.
If not I will have to confiscate your Lemo's, insest you go back to using Clearo's, and will have to report you to the proper authorities in Omaha.
Hehe I must be the only person who dislikes almost all NT juice T_T
Also side note. I have two lemo drops, and one of them kept giving me a slooooow leak when laid on its side, while the other is rock solid
So I tightened everything up super snug, turned it upside down, covered all air holes and sucked on the drip tip. Aww air bubbles.
Seal issue.
Disassembled both and inspect. As it turns out, both drops have an oring at the threads of the stubby chimney cap section.
BUT. The leaky one comes stock with an oring that just too damn tiny/skinny.
Replaced it with a random fatter oring (I think it's 1.5mm cross section, not sure about inner diameter..) and it no longer leaks.
So there's that.

LOL that's ok not everyone has good taste.
But yes that upper chimney o-ring has to be in good condition, and make a tight seal otherwise you could end up with leaks and/or dry hits from loss of vacuum.

LOL I have ordered from nicoticket and I get the juice the next day, but I strayed away from them pretty early. I like CLS until I started to hate custard vapes. Wakonda was good but I had a bad setup (was using a veritas but it was a dud,) and The Virus was just not for me. Now I did enjoy Hummingbird a heck of a lot, so I'll have to give that one another try. I'm just exploring all of my options xD
I had done a zipper build on my Freakshow RDA and had some of the twisted wire left so I used some for a chimney coil in the lemo, it's a good build, not as good as i thought it would be, I was expecting a game changer type experience but its still an awesome build, nice hot vape at 40-45 watts on my Project sub ohm ohm 100 watt box, flavor isnt as intense but thats all good cause the clouds are better
O_O Good lord! That build goes against your username xD
