Sweet drip tips, one of my favorites believe it or not is the ss hourglass drip tip from a nautilus.
Whats with the rubber bands?

Nice. What is the one on the left?
A couple of new drip tips from the b&m.
Just thought it might protect the glass. None of the b&ms around here have any bands.
I can be a lil clumsy. And thanks.

The drip tip? I'm not sure, they had a package of three all stuck together. That's two of the three. The tip on the left was flat on top and didn't feel good at all on the lips, so I put it on the lathe and domed it off some.

Does the center pin come completely out to put the Oring in to give you better contact with the center pin. Waiting for mine to get here. I got some Vape Bands thought I might put one between the glass and the topsection and one on just the glass at bottom. Thought maybe it would help protect it plus possibly hold the glass on if you removed the bottom cap. Just an idea not sure it it will work or will help protect. Got an extra glass section just in case.
The vape bands work nicely, I have used them on mine. I turn the inside out so they will just be a solid color.
Have you tried the rubber fill plugs included with the Lemo yet?
I was skeptical at first, but I've been using them in 3 Lemos without a problem for awhile now.
FWIW, I think the kit comes with a spare fill screw as well.
Spare screw did came with with my Lemo, although after a while, I stopped using the screw and just go with rubber plug. Someone posted a while back ( wish I remembered who, as he deserved thumbs up), to push horizontally with your finger back and forward and not just down, to make it settle in better. Original poster explained better. But it works.
Rubber fill plugs are the bomb; even though I did get real good at reinstalling the fill screw.:

Just did my first rebuild on my lemo drop. Got a 1.2 ohm right out of the block! I'm stoked, for my first attempt. Just .2 above the stock coil. It's not bad to build on but the screw heads are a bit small, and if the wicking isn't in the zone it's gonna leak, but other than that it's not bad at all. The vape and flavor is stellar! Love this device.
I have both a Lemo and a Lemo Drop. I have done several recommended builds (see Wierd Willie posts in this thread ) and they do have great flavor and vape. But, and this for me is a big BUT, they leak unless kept vertical on your desk. I will no longer carry one in my shirt pocket as they can't be trusted to not leak. I even tried replacing the chimney O Ring with a fatter one from a Kayfun, but it was too think I guess and wouldn't close up.
Some in this thread are fortunate and have nothing but glowing reports. I wish I was among them and perhaps sooner or later I can figure out how to stop the seeping and leaking in mine and be thrilled like others.
Just a different perspective
You def cannot lie it down for long. Have it upside down (but you could not do this with any rta). Also your cotton needs to be thick. It cant be too easy to get the piece of cotton through the coilI have both a Lemo and a Lemo Drop.

Hmm, I'll have to leave mine laying on it's side more, because since I got my vs rdna40 and started learning this without the frustration of dryhits, it has been my favorite setup. I am looking for 1 or 2 other tanks to compare/play with, but haven't found out what would even compare to this. And all the new rta's seems to be dual coil, which sounds like a big hassle with ni200.

Sorry to hear that. I take mine with me everywhere I go and it's never leaked. I keep it in my belt holster while en-route and then transfer it to my shirt pocket for work...I can vape freely there so it gets a lot of use, yet I've never had these issues (been using them since Nov 17th).
Mine have never leaked when used regularly, even when sideways. (long term storage is different)

I need to try rayon. Have been using Japanese cotton for quite a while.
