    Just ordered one of these myself, I have 4-5 23mm devices, but only a taifun topper that is 23mm, also all my 23mm devices are black, so being able to get the lemo in black also sold it for me, right now I am loving my foggers, but so far heard good things about the lemo and I like a lot of airflow, so with the large airflow of the lemo, decided to give it a shot, should have it by tuesday, so will report back with what i think, once built and had some vape time with it :)

    The airflow makes it a nicer vape than a kayfun. In fact, I would like to tighten it even moe than I have so far.

    I have a used taifun gt sitting here also that I haven't been able to build due to a torn o ring. O rings came yesterday as well so I will build that today. I have a feeling I'll prefer the Lemo to that as well. However, I'd like to use the taifun for the coil gunking juices to have easy access to the build deck.

    Ok so last night I got home to my LEMO. Pretty pleased thus far.

    This is essentially a big airflow Kayfun!

    I got home. it had an actually pretty decent pre-built coil wicked with cotton... I didn't want to waste juice, so I pulled it out and built a 28 gauge micro coil reading in at 1.6 ohms. This is probably the cleanest atty I have ever recieved. There was not a TRACE of machine oil...

    The build was super easy just like a kayfun, and I really like the deck screws... It is super easy to trap the leads under the screw....

    The adjustable airflow is a pain in the a**, but it really caters to all vapors... You can definitely lung hit this, or make it even tighter than a KFL+.

    What I have noticed so far --- The flavor is just like the kayfun, and I would say better vapor production. The throat hit is MONSTEROUS! I vape 70/30 pg/vg in my kayfun, and I had to go all the way to 30/70 and it is still a monsterous throat hit. I believe I'm going to try building a 26 guage coil tonight, and see how that works in it.

    Overall I am happy with it. It is a great device. It hasn't wuite won me over from the kayfun lite, but i'm going to do a couple more builds and see what happens.

    Nice. Mine should be arriving shortly. How much power are you feeding it at 1.6ohms?

    Help! So I got my Lemo. It's my first RBA. I'm using the factory coil but replaced the cotton, first with rayon, then with some Japanese cotton the vendor supplied. I have it on my eVic Supreme which reads it at 1.2 ohm and fires it, but I'm getting next to no vapor. I've tried various airflow settings and 8.5 to 13 watts, but doesn't make much difference still little vapor and what there is is pretty harsh. What could I have screwed up? Thanks for any pointers.

    Guessing your wicking? I got my practice on a kfl+ and did the Lemo the same way.

    I learned from this video though I like my coils at 1.5-1.8ohm for a regulated device:

    Rockin' Dual Coils, Lemo Style! :2cool:

    LemoDualCoils.jpgLemoDualCoilsWicked.jpg

    Coils are 28ga, 10 wraps at 2.2mm. Not surprising, plenty of room for this. Vaping at 20 watts with this one. It is a warmer vape then the first build, but tastes great and seems to be wicking just fine.

    EDIT: Build handles 30 Watts just fine, but I've settled in at 24 Watts.

    Thanks checked it out, and rewicked again. Still struggling a bit, but I'll keep playing.

    I was feeling lazy, so I loaded it up, the coil takes a while to heat up, is that part of it being an open coil?

    I'm wondering if this is part of my problem, seems to only really start going when I'm almost finished my puff. When I stripped it all down again, I noticed the coil doesn't turn red until 5-6 seconds firing. Maybe I'll try building my own coil tomorrow. That's sure to help :)
