I really think it depends on your builds in it, a standard KF build will do good in it, that's what I have in it right now, I am going to try a 26 awg build in it and try to put the legs in the holes and see how that is

I'm gonna try a 28awg build to start since I love working with 28. Depending on the flavor and vapor with that one I might mess with 26awg a little. I've gotten pretty good at dual builds with 28awg in my rda measuring about .8 so if I do a few less wraps I should be able to hit 1.3ish with a single coil. If it doesn't work well I'll shoot for 26awg and do the same. Can't wait for the darn thing to come.
I will picking up some 26 gauge from my local B&M later on today and try a build with it later.
That's how I build it. 26g, 1/8", 8 wraps, ends through the holes. Works great and the flavor is exceptional. The only issue I have is that it tends to gunk up faster than I'm used to (although that could be partially because I'm running it at 23 watts, where my old stuff was closer to 12 or so). I'm going to pick up a machine screw this weekend and try building the same coil, but spaced instead of contact, and see if that makes a difference.
One tip: if you bend the legs parallel to the coil and clip them before you mount it, it's much easier to get them in the holes and set properly.
1.3 ohms. Might be a little less depending on how high off the air hole you like it - I set mine around 3-4mm or so above it, so my legs are a little longer to get that height.
Cool thats exactly the ohms i try for. I'll give it a whirl and let you know how it comes out. That screw idea is another one i will try also.
I've got both. I use both daily.
Really depends on what you are in the mood for. You wanna build and experiment - Lemo. You want to grab and go - Atlantis. Good flavor and vapor from both in my opinion.
No sure if any of that helps to make a decision??!!
with the Atlantis, you gotta have something to fire that sub ohm cool tho.....

Definitely helps. Which one do you find puts out more vapour?
I definitely don't expect the Atlantis to compare to the lemo flavor wise
Really, I've only run one flavor thru the Atlantis so far and it's a pure menthol, might have to try some other flavors thru it to compare!
I've had a few builds compare volume wise with the Atlantis. But the Atlantis really does throw out some clouds.
I honestly prefer the Lemo from a flavor standpoint, not really into blowing big clouds. I'm all about tanks as I don't own a dripper at all. I'm new to all this so take that for what it's worth!!
I definitely build for flavor over clouds also. I have a local guy selling a nearly brand new Atlantis for $30 so that's why I'm considering it
Won't hurt to have both. Lemo so you can fiddle with builds and really dial it in, Atlantis for the days that you just want to grab and go. I have the Atlantis and I've been pleased with it, but I can't wait for my Lemo to show up in the mail. I even rebuilt my Nautilus Mini coil today because I was bored...never again. Lemo needs to come so I have something to tinker with.
I almost spend more time tinkering with my lemo that I do vaping it. I'm having a hell of a time figuring out which coil is gonna work best for me
