Oh, I see what you meant. No, tightening the post didn't hurt the build at all, it stabilized it.

A couple of thoughts:
Big build deck and bigger juice channels than a kfl+. I made a bigger diameter coil, 3/32", so I could use more wick.
Be careful not to overfill it. Its easy to do. I did Saturday night and got burnt hits due to lack of vacuum.

Yeah i rebuilt mind 3/32nd with 26 gauge and I'm liking it a lot more! Now i just got to fix this resistance reading incorrectly issue..
Yes, I need to determine what the optimal fill point is. Apparently I got it right Thursday night when I built it. Then I refilled Saturday night and oh, boy 
. Got some out and all was well in Roxy's vaping world again.

I actually removed my center post completely so I could drill the air holes bigger, I didn't even remove the wicks! Stuck it back together with no issues.

I've been filling mine completely, like to the point of one very small bubble. But I also thin the tails of my wicks down to maybe 1/3 of the coil diameter to really allow good juice flow. I haven't had any leaks yet, not one...except for when I forgot to close the fill port, LOL!
edit: I vape at 20+ watts, and suffer no flavor loss at all. in fact, these tanks literally taste better than any of my drippers!

OMG, I feel like a total idiot, I cant believe I couldn't figure out what those things were! No tools required for a refill!! Now I love these tanks even more!
Yeah, I like mine with 26ga better also. That said, I got up this morning and did a dual coil 28ga 1.0ohm build like VaPreis pictured and I'm really digging that one too.

A couple times now, I have accidentally filled it to the top to the point where it spilled back out of the fill port.
It vaped with no problem. I do vape 50/50's though, and I usually try to leave a small air pocket anyway.
My go-to juice is Boba's, so it's pretty thick "100% VG" juice. I can really thin the tails a lot and still not worry about leaks.
I am also using a 50/50 juice. Hmm, wonder what the problem was then? I kept having to do do primer puffs until I finally took some out.
I did find replacement glass. 2 pack for $2.95 and free shipping:

I ordered 4 replacement tanks from there on Friday, and they arrived safely today. Can't beat that for $5.90 total!
Nice find, thanks. Just ordered a 2 pack. I had a Visa gift card with $3.03 left on it and couldn't find anything to use it for until now. Score! Now, if my dang Lemo would just show up...

For me, I found that filling the tank just at the brim of the chimney (the wide part) works perfect with my 80vg juice. Also if you plug all 4 air holes with your fingers and do dry pulls it primes the wick really fast.
Got me lemo today, impressed with the extra you get with this, and even though I didn't use it, that prebuilt coil is the nicest looking coil I have ever seen come in a device.
I did leave it soaking while I slept today, and after soaking for a few hours, was quite surprised to see the fill screw had rusted a bit, not even had that from $15 atties from fasttech, but not a major deal, so went onto building it.
1st I tried doing a build with 24 gauge coming out to 0.60ohms, but hardly had any flavor, so rebuilt using 28 gauge coming out to 1.10ohm, the flavor is better, but nothing really special, and am getting some dry hits, but that could be my wicking and have to play with it more.
I will say the airflow is huge on the lemo, I normally run with air flow wide open on everything I use, but I did have to dial it back on the lemo.

Hmmmmm... I'm really surprised to hear about the lack of wicking and lack of flavor.... Those are definitely going hand in hand. I have had 0 issues with wicking, and vaping my kayfun right next to the Lemo the flavor is almost the same, I honestly think the Lemo is a bit better.
What are you using for wick?
Do you have experience with kayfun lites?

So I fixed my Lemo last night.....
For the people that haven't kept up with this thread. Myself and a couple other people had an issue where the resistance was not reading correctly from the Lemo. It would go from 1.2 ohms to 3 ohms to 5 ohms to .7 ohms etc....
This caused my IVP2 to fire my lemo at about 7 volts with airflow tightened up and burned the crap out my wick and my mouth....
This fix to this problem is to take off the base section, and tighten up the connection screw. Once I did this my atty is holding steady at 1.2 ohms and working like a dream.
I vaped on it for an entire day without noticing the resistance bouncing around... It was weird some of my hits were fine somewhere a bit hotter than others, then I started checking the resistance... I would recommend everyone tightens down that screw..
