Simple bunny ear style, and it wicked well. I wicked the 26ga build the same way, with the same good results.

Just received my Lemo in the vape mail yesterday. I tested it with the build that came in it. It was too pretty to take out without at least trying it. The vape was comparable to a kayfun/Taifun. Today I pulled the wick. Compressed the original coil. It's a huge coil over 3mm id. Rewicked with KGD. Final result, vape production comparable to my Kayfuns/Taifuns. The significant differences are the air flow and most importantly the flavor. Best flavor bar none of all the rba's I own. That's including my dual coil RBA's (Orchid, Fogger and AGA T7). I really, really like this RBA.
Props to you! You have great skills, that rig looks great.
I'v had one for about 2 weeks and have only used it a handful of times. The installed coil actually worked well, came in at 1.1, if you buy another definitely try it. Best (and only) pre installed coil I've used...I saw above you didn't use yours...
I need to rebuild tomorrow and give it a work out. Airflow on it is great.
Got mine this morning and must say that my initial impression is quite good, I decided to just try it out with the pre-installed coil to have some sort of comparison when rebuilding next, I trimmed the cotton just a bit though, cloud of vape and good flavour so far, it does make loud pops when first hitting the button but it might be because I primed it to much, to early to compare it to the Fogger V4 for me as that needs a new wig to perform at it's best but it does seem to pull thicker denser vape.
Pre-installed coil is 1.1 ohm so should be interesting to try it with dual coil sub-ohm setup, filling screw could have been thought out a bit smarter and my god had they put it in there tight
Big plus is how it fits onto the Evic Surpreme without having to use the 510 connection and also it does seem to take quite a large amount of juice.
Happy days so far but will reserve final judgement until I have been through a few tanks of juice and done first rebuild, sleep tight for a few days little Fogger V4

Just did my second Lemo build. I have three Lemos now but two of them sat impatiently in their boxes while I built a couple of my new drippers over the weekend. My stainless Lemo finally got to come out to play this morning. I'm still pretty green at coil building. Builds to date include my original single coil 1.2ohm Lemo build, a .6ohm dual coil Mutation X build, and a .3ohm dual coil Infinite CLT build.
So, I guess this is my fourth build. Decided to up the degree of difficulty just a bit. 26ga parallel dual, 1/8" ID, metering out to .7ohms, wicked with rayon. I was pretty happy to have nailed it on the first attempt. Not super pretty but it works great. Takes a second to heat up but once it's hot it really cooks some juice at 26W.
It was also the perfect build to use the post holes rather than capturing under the screws. The dual leads really trap well in the post holes and it was like they just found their own way in there. I couldn't get my first single coil Lemo build to trap in the holes to save my life.
I think I'll try a twisted 26ga build on the third Lemo.

Very nice! I've yet to try wrapping a parallel coil yet.
My last dual coil build worked well, but IMO, the flavor was better using a large single coil, so a parallel build might be a best of both worlds. For now, I took out the dual coil build and put in a single 3mm coil using 26 ga.
Let me know how it vapes.

I tried several different single coil build in my Lemos, but prefer dual coil builds. 28ga x 2.2dia x 6-8 wraps at 20-25 watts. The vapor production and flavor of those builds suit me best.
Thanks. It's vaping strong. Great flavor and nice vapor production from the increased surface area. It does take some power to drive this coil though. The latency below 25W is pretty pronounced on my DNA30. 26W seems about right to me. 30W is a little too intense... the 24mg juice I'm using probably has something to do with that.
Whoa, time to drop that those mg to dripper levels! I'm finding 12mg too strong in a tank above 18 watts...
Yeah, I went down to 6mg in all my rdas. I have some 12mg in the Taifun right now because Clark (NT) won't be making that juice again for a few months, and I love it. But, even 12 is a .... kicker. I used to use 18mg til I got into rebuilding.
I think if I put 24mg into any of these, I would die, lol!
I suppose I might only need 2 hits per hour. Could really cut my juice bill.

. Could really cut my juice bill.This is the first time I've used 24mg in any of my RTA/RDA builds. It's the last of the 24mg juice I have left; like literally the last tankful. Everything else is 18 or 12. I drip 12mg at ~55W on my mech with no issues.
Damn, you're tough! I put 12 into the kayfun when I first got it. I felt like someone had kicked my teeth out and run over my head with a truck a few hours later.

I actually have toyed with the idea of ordering 18 mg from NT JUST so I go through it slower!!
hahaha that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm just afraid I would start vaping 12 just as much as I do 6, and I would be twice as addicted to nicotine as I already am....
I think I go through about 15 ml a day as it is.,
Inspired by inswva, I wrapped my first ever parallel coil on the black Lemo:
28ga, 8 wraps, 2.4mm
It distorted a bit when I fired it, but I'm pretty happy with it for a first try. Flavor and vapor from it is great!
