I have a hard time with duals, but I just watched a vid of how to do this and my wire is annealed! Thanks for the motivation VaPreis!
Basically its the same resistance as 2 separate coils right? So if your single coil would be 1.4ohms, this will be 0.7ohms, correct?
Ok, its on my ipv and can do subohm. I'm going to try it when I get some time.
Might throw one in the Taifun, too
. Not enough room in the Rose really. You could do 2 small diameter coils in that.

I have a kayfun coming, too, that I wanted to put on my mech. Small build deck, but wonder if I could fit it.

My build came in at 0.8Ω on my T5.
Well worth a try. I'm not sure what sorcery is at work here, but I was surprised at the increased vapor production and flavor from it.
Ok, here's what I just did...
27g 7/64 id, 7/8 wraps .6 ohm.
It's ugly but fires from the center out! So I'll wick and test it.
Thanks again for the push, I was getting bored.

And there you have it...
Naki's Blend
Great flavor, fire's hard at even 8 watts!

Excellent, thanks for sharing, got some of the flat kanthal so will try the same, might even try and squeeze in a dual one just for the fun
I only got mine Monday morning and already had to re-wick it last night, I noticed at work that dark juice was flowing back from the juice channels and by the time I got home the remaining juice had turned real dark and didn't taste to great so washed it out and pulled the wick, it didn't look to bad but was black on the part that was inside the coil, anyone else experienced the same with the Lemo ? I just used the coil it came with and trimmed the wick a bit but am thinking it might just have been over wicked still, it worked fine and tasted good until then and is fine with a good bit less wick now
Very nice, much prettier than mine.
Also very nice. And also prettier than mine. I need to up my game.

My guess is a little too much wick. May have been choking the coil.
that was kinda my guess too but I wasn't getting any dry hits or anything, I dryburned and cleaned it and also squeezed the coils together a bit to see if it would sort the spitting but that still happens so guess I'll just have to live with that until I bung in a new coil

Recently purchased the eLeaf Lemo RTA and thought I'd share a build on this fantastic RTA.
Here is a couple pics for comparison's sake to a KFL clone base.
Lemo on the left, you can see that the center air hole is more then double the size of a Kayfun. The build deck is much larger as well. The base has 4 air holes spaced 90 degrees apart.
It is important to note that the Lemo is 23mm! Fine on my Cloupor box, but will overhang a bit on a 22mm mech.
Lemo on the left again, a comparison of the decks and chimney. The Lemo's chimney is huge.
This build is for use on my Cloupor 30 Watt box. It is 12 wraps of 26ga Kanthal with an ID of 2.2mm for just shy of 1.4Ω. Plenty of room on the deck for this huge coil. You can also see how deeply the liquid channels are cut in this pic.
Wicked with CVS Organic cotton ball. I prefer the cotton thicker through the coil, which for me, gives less popping and better flavor.
Bunny ear style, wicks positioned upward with chimney base installed.
Tails tucked and ready to be primed.
A test fire at 25 watts.
A pic of the bottom with the lower base section removed. Fill port screw on the left. Some rubber plugs are included with the kit, which I have not tried yet for "tool less" filling. I have been using a syringe to fill it, but a needle bottle or even a plastic needle bottle would work fine. It easily holds 5 ml.
Air flow is adjusted by turning the ring around the center pin in either direction. A small screw driver is helpful for this. It seems to hold it's position fine, but obviously can't be adjusted "on the fly", seeing as the bottom base section must be removed and a tool is required.
Fully assembled on my Cloupor box and vaping nicely at 20 watts. Air flow through the Lemo is amazing, being even more open then my Fogger V4, which makes it great for larger coil/higher wattage builds. I have to dial the airflow down for my taste, even with this build. I prefer mouth to lung hits, just like how I smoked, but air flow is big enough through it wide open to lung hit it. Flavor with the Lemo is sharper then my Kayfun and Taifun GT, and rivals that of my Expromizer which was my previous favorite. The Lemo's airflow spanks the Expromizer.
I did make one minor modification to it, and that was to add a small o-ring underneath the adjustable positive pin on the lower section of the base. When the adjustable pin is loosened, it moves fairly easily and I found myself having to re-adjust when re-mounting it on the Cloupor box. The o-ring helped hold the adjustment where I wanted it and can now screw it back on the Cloupor without having to adjust the pin every time.
I purchased the Lemo from Vaper Company for $33.95 with free shipping. I'll be purchasing another.
EDIT: The drip tip pictured in the last photo did not come with the Lemo. While the included drip tip worked just fine, I prefer this one for look and feel.
How do you mouth to lung at 20 watts without it drying out? Also what's the point? I've tried mouth to lung at 20 watts but produce the same amount of vapor as my Kayfun. It's my experience that there's no way to produce very much vapor without lung hitting with the airflow opened up.
I have no idea how you're even vaping on the Lemo at 25+ watts. Just tried 25 and got a burnt hit right away. I can't seem to go over about 20 without burnt hits.
My All-Day-Vape is a Lemo full of 9mg Boba's at 22 watts, but I have one Lemo that I vape at 30ish watts, and it does great. 3mg juice is all I can handle at that level. I'm running dual coils and Rayon wicks.
Any idea why mine is drying out at 25 watts? I have a 28g 1.3 ohm single coil wrapped on a 7/64" drill bit with cotton.
What wick material are you using? I'm guessing you are getting pretty close to the capabilities of the juice channels, or getting above the limits of your wicking material...
