The Lemo RTA: A Build With Pics

[VaPreis]

Received my 2nd Lemo from Vaper Company today, and I'm pleased with it as well. This time, it's the black version to sit on top of the Cloupor T5. It did have one small problem, and I'm glad I caught it before assembling it to fill it. The top chimney o-ring was missing. A good heads-up if you might be having a vacuum leak issue with a new Lemo. The kit included two spares, so it wasn't a big deal. Build quality on this one is just as nice as the SS version.

The o-ring under the center post to hold the AFC ring position is still working well, so I installed the same size o-ring on the black one. Last night I posted that I used a kayfun chimney o-ring, but I was wrong. It was a spare kayfun drip tip o-ring. I'd guess any 510 drip tip o-ring would work just as well.

I rebuilt them both tonight using 10 wraps of 26ga at 2.4mm ID wicked with organic cotton. Best flavor and vapor I've got from the Lemo yet. Running them 18-22 watts. AFC closed slightly for mouth to lung hits.



If you own an Aqua/Aqua clone, you might recognize the drip tip on the black Lemo. Yep, it fits!

Mine were both missing the chamber/chimney o'ring. I fixed the first one I received, the second one I decided to try it without, and it works fine. I figured none of my bottom feed takes have an o'ring at the base of the chamber, so it probably wouldn't hurt to try leaving it out. Most of my juices are pretty thick stuff, so maybe a thinner PG juice may have issues.

Hmm my black lemo's performance is a little odd compared to my ss version. Couldn't get a good vac and it appears to have a leak. So I drained it and found the culprit! freakin glass tube has a small chip on one of the ends where it contacts the silicon gasket. I didn't notice the chip because the gaskets where stuck on the tube and I didn't bother taking it off Held down the one end that has a chip with gasket in place and I can see a tiny hole. I'll see if I can put a drop of hot glue to get a good seal. I ordered some extra glass tubes also.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend you, but that Cloudpor is SO UGLY!!! But I think it must be nice in a man's hands.

My leaking issues were due to the wick not sitting low on the juice channels. As soon as I reassembled (I use silica, 3mm in an infinity type loop) it vaped well. Still, the draw is too airy for my taste and I'm not getting enough vapor. I keep the AFC halfway, maybe it unrolls a little when I screw it into the base.

I think we are all convinced the afc is opening itself up.

It's not for everyone. No offense taken.

It is very comfortable to use and is performing well so far.

My AFC definitely "self-adjusts". I'll attempt the spring fix posted earlier. I'll be ordering two more Lemos this evening so I can have three in the daily juice rotation.

 

[roxynoodle]

The o ring is doing the trick for me so far.

I'm on a kick to try different tanks, but I'm glad the Lemo is one. And I'm glad I got this over the kayfun. The kayfun I was using was a friend's. I was about to get my own when the Lemo came out. As soon as I saw it had good airflow I knew I'd rather have that.

 

[speedemon]

Great ideals here I was hesitant at 1st because of that air adjustment sounds like the o ring or spring ideal work good find gotta get one now and add to my goodies!!

 

[BNEAT]

I removed my AFC rings, they'll never get in my way again

Chipped glass tube, sent an email to vapercompany and their sending me a replacement glass tube

Oh yeah. That would definitely cause vacuum issues. Good customer service by vapercompany for replacing it... I know some companies aren't replacing with the cheapest shipping options..

Noticed my coil resistance going up slightly on my DNA30 box. Pulled off the bottom cap of the Lemo and found a nominal amount of juice in there, some of it on the 510 connection points. Cleaned it out and resistance dropped back to the correct 1.2ohm. Anyone else have juice seeping into the bottom cap? Not a huge deal, just figured I'd see if this was "normal".

Center post is nice and tight and I'm using the fill hole screw rather than the silicone gasket plug.

I get all kinds of condensation build up. I recently started letting off the fire button a little before I've stopped my draw, and that's pretty much dried it up. But It's hard to remember to do that. I've only notice juice there one time, and I suspect my silicon ring wasn't sealing good.

 

[roxynoodle]

No, no juice or condensation for me.

That is my vape style though, to let off the fire switch a moment early.

I'm getting more than condensation. Next time I have to refill and re-wick I'll take it all apart and see what is going on.

Nothing other than what I would consider normal condensation in either of mine.

I have noticed that the atomizer resistance will fluctuate if I don't have the bottom cap fully tightened, but since I've been aware of that potential problem, it hasn't been a problem again.

Hey all, I just received mine in the mail today. This is my very first rebuildable coil atomizer. I watched some videos on youtube, but I had a pretty hard time making the coil. I finally got it to work and it is leaking juice all out of the side air holes. It has to be coming from the screw hole or the center post where you adjust the airflow. However, I have checked and double-checked both of those screws and they are in as tight and snug as can be. Is anyone else having this issue or know what may be causing it? Also, can someone link me some really noob-friendly youtube links to building your first coil and tips and stuff?

Thanks a lot folks. I really want to like this thing.

Kismayaz, how did you fill the tank?
