Is flavor better with the drop? Flavor on the Lemo with a 1.7 ohm 28 gauge kanthal build @ 18 watts is really good, but I think it could be better. Less distance between the coil and drip tip should have an effect, right?
BOOM!
BOOM!
We shall see if it actually goes from pre shipment to actually touching USPS. I'm not sure if it's vertical distance or the diameter of the chamber itself.
See I'm just the opposite, I have no interest in the drop, I like the larger capacity.
I'm not sure what the capacity is on the drop, but it can't be more than a couple mills because the lower chimney
takes up quite a bit of real estate.

Check these coils out I've been using on the DNA40

Followup after a few days and about ~6 tanks through these ...
Consensus: I love 'em.
I may order a couple more once they're back in stock somewhere. Airflow still shutdown/tightened up (but still airy!), I'm getting some of the best flavor I've ever experienced on some of my regular go-to liquids. No problem with the airflow changing after I've got it set - the adjustment ring may move a little but nothing noticeable. The silicon ring / fill plug works fantastically. The large deck is so easy to build on (once the post screws are replaced) and after removing the bottom 510 connector ring, it sits perfectly flat on my desk/paper towel making it even easier to build (no need to use an ohm meter/build base). I love the silicon gaskets - they are strong and seem like they'll last a very long time. Build quality is fantastic, love the glass tank, love the capacity, and not one hint of a leak if wicked / sealed properly. Love love love everything about them. Did I mention the price? Geez. Just fantastic!
I'm using a dual wire/parallel twisted 30AWG Ni200 coil with 7 wraps coming in around .13ohms. A nice, slightly warm vape producing massive/dense clouds of tasty vapor. Running between 400 and 450F at ~23 watts.
I'm a little excited about these, obviously. It's warranted though.
Keeping an eye on stock so I can order a couple more!
I know what you mean, I have 4 already and 2 more on the way I put different drip tips on the so I can quickly tell them apart so I know what juice is in them and/or what type of build Ni200, kanthal or twisted/untwisted Ni200 single/parallel and so on you get the idea.
Air flow, I run mine wide open, I love the airy draw and I've never had a problem even with heavy VG juice no dry hits ever, and the only leak I had was when I was in a hurry one morning doing a refill before leaving for work I forgot to put the fill screw back in
plugged it with a small piece of napkin until I got back home.I change up flavors 2 or 3 times day sometimes more, stick a couple tanks in my pocket one on my device for that day and away I go, and never a leak even while rattling around in my pockets or my laptop bag.
My Lemo came Saturday (to a friend’s address so I don’t have to justify vapemail to my wife lol) and I got it this morning at work. Threw in a single 24ga 7 wrap around 1/8 screwdriver at 0.7ohm and wicked with rayon using the same wicking technique I used for all my kayfuns (wick bowtie trimmed at a 45deg angle, then cut to length to sit on the deck directly above the juice wells. Running it with wide open airflow at 40w on my ipv2.
First thoughts:
1. Ease of building is amazingly simple compared to my fogger 4.1's and orchid v4. I forgot how simple a single coil could really be.
2. Airflow isn’t exactly where I thought it would be wide open, but it’s definitely a smoother easier draw compared to both my fogger and orchid. Would like for it to be a little airier but it’s still great for a tank.
3. Flavor is amazing compared to both aforementioned tanks. It’s not a hot harsh vape that I got with the others at high wattage (both high ohms and high watts regulated or low ohms unregulated).
4. The diameter is a little upsetting as I picked up a SS 4nine to run this on for stealth vaping but it overhangs a little. Nothing serious as I will likely be running on the ipv2 permanently from now on.
Consensus is: I need to buy another one of these for my wife. Not only because it’s 10 x easier to build/wick than the fogger 4.1 she’s been using, but because I think will she have a much better vape experience.
Also, in my area, all the hype has been about the Aspire Atlantis. I have honestly been so tired of seeing people post about it on our local Facebook page and rant about how awesome it is. I got the chance to try one over the weekend that my buddy picked up. The Lemo blows it out of the water. Plus, I can build what I want and not spend $5 a coil.

The Lemo has ruined me as a vaper. I now own four of them, and well they are beautiful pieces.
Today I tried to use a Kayfun off a guy I work with and I couldn't do it. The pull is just too tight. Once you get to the airflow of a Lemo, you just can't go back I guess.
Glad I have four of these little guys.

Here is a little trick I learned for that on my first Lemo by accident and I've done this on my 3 others.
Next time you have it apart, remove the center center pin, you will find a round delrin spacer note the original orientation, flip it over, if you look at it closely you'll see it has a slightly different profile, reinstall the center pin snugly and back the ajustment snugly all the way out.
I'd rather leave the AFC where it is, not as much chance for bumping it out of whack.
That one of the many things I hate about the nautilus it's already a tight drawing SOB wide open at least for me.
Same thing on the Magma, I love my magma it's my goto dripper but even with an oring and cranking down on the top cap it is too easy to knock it out of whack.
If you find the Lemo adjustment moves put a tiny amount of low strength thread lock on the threads, that will keep it from moving around on you and still allow you to make adjustments.

I like the AFC where it is. It's a simple set-it and forget-it thing that can't be accidentally moved.
Top Fill just adds cost, size, and detracts from the looks in most instances, especially if it's a design that doesn't require tools. besides, with 5+ml I only have to fill once a day, if that. And I love the tool-less fill on these things!
Nothing wrong with larger screw heads I guess, but they're designed with holes in the post, so...
Keep in mind, these were designed for hybrid attachment to the eVic Supreme, so an adjustable 510 doesn't really apply, but I'm sure it would be nice for people that don't have one. I personally can't stand 510 connections and I wish they would go away forever!
The only changes I would like to see on the Lemo is a metal shield for the tank, and smaller chamber/build deck.(for better flavor) But I'm perfectly happy with the way they are
I think the deck screws are good IMO, I use 24gauge on mine, and have no problem trapping it under the deck screws.
I would like top fill, but that's because been spoilt using the top fill cap on my Orchid V4.

I don't understand how the 510 isn't "truely" adjustable. It has an adjustable 510 screw. So what is missing for you?
Just curious.
