The Lemo RTA: A Build With Pics

[cigatron]

You said a 2mm x 1mm O-ring ? Have you confirmed that its the correct size Cig, I'll take your word that it works though. Where to get, or just Google it ?

Nope, can't confirm it, sorry. It was someone's comment from way back. I used boiled linseed oil...goes on in a liquid state, then semi-hardens just lock locktite blue. I used it as a thread locker for spoke nipples back in my mountain bike racing days. It kept spokes from loosening but allowed them to adjusted when necessary.

Yeah that was a great explanation and I will try it-thnks

No problem

For the AFC nut, any spare o-ring that fits snugly on the threads will do the trick. I've used o-rings from drip tips I no longer use, or a spare kayfun chimney o-ring should also be a nice fit.

For setting the air flow, I usually leave the base off, then stick the Lemo on my palm to test the draw until it's adjusted the way I like. No need to keep screwing the base on to test it.

aha...good to know! I will try that next time. Seems once I have screwed it on I just leave it until I fill it again.

Alright..please settle a bet. Is it Lemo as in rhymes with Memo or Lemo as in rhymes with Beam (O)

Hardy hahaha thanks folks!

Melo, Lemo, memo...

The English language is so screwed up.

 

[VaPreis]

I've always pronounced it like "Memo".

Which I think makes sense, considering the "Lemo(n) Drop"

That's the way i say it too,just seems to make sense.Although watching different reviews of it,it seems like a 50/50 split,about half say it one way and the others say it the other way.I don't care how you say it,as long as they continue to work good haha.

 

[chanelvaps]

Well I have to admit I hear way more of the Leeee-mo way of saying it so I asked. I, for some reason, started with Lemo like Memo so am sticking with it

 

[RedheadedBStarD]

Lemo like Nemo for me.

 

[Jumpin' In...]

On pronunciation - think someone needs to ask eLeaf. I've been saying it with the long "e" (the Nemo version), but my guess is the "memo" version is probably correct.

On wicking - seems I have had the opposite experience from many here. My Drop starting working better once I backed off a bit on the wicking -- most of the harshness disappeared. Then I read a couple of people say that the "chunky" wick is really best after running 15ml of liquid through it. LOL - not for me, as I'm often changing flavors well before that.

Anyway, now I'm pretty happy with a wick that has some resistance when pulled through - but not a lot - and a fairly slight shoulder when "relaxed".

On airflow - I have mine between 1.5 and 2 turns from fully closed, and yes, it seems to move around by itself - mostly gets more open - so I always check it when I fill the tank. Guess I'll try the o-ring "fix" at some point.

Well so far I've had my lemo a little over a week now put a few builds on it. The one issue with it is if you lay it on its side its certainly going to leak from the air chamber holes. But once it upright again it dose not leak i just have to remind myself not to lay it down.

It not as bad as a KFL is though that thing always leaks and is now in retirement.

Most peeps have no probs with Lemos leaking. Try running a large coil like 2.5mm or larger and wick it very heavy but keep the wick away from the juice channels.

Thanks for the tip on the wicking that seems to have solved the leaking issue ^_^
