Now that i think about it, I was looking at the lemo couple of days ago right before Rip tripper posted his videos and I saw both black and SS available on vapercompany... oh how i regret snoozing on it 
The Lemo RTA: A Build With Pics

So I just finished my first re-build. I used 28g Kanthal and my first coil ended up being 4.4ohms even though I only did 9 wraps lol. So I scrapped it. For my second try, I did 6 wraps and got 1.2ohms. It vaped great but after about an hour it started leaking like crazy. It's leaking mostly from the top, and I obviously must have something loose, but everything feels real tight. Maybe one of my O-rings is loose? Did I over-fill it?...I filled it to the top (I didn't see any air when I was finished. Also, the re-fill plug seems to work ok, but there is leaked juice under the cap....is this just the way it is or do I need to plug it better? I'm sure I just need some tweaking....regardless of all that, I love the way it vapes.
Also, are you able to leave an rta horizontal like you can a clearomizer? Mine has been vertical the whole time, other than some slight tilting while vaping, but I'm curious anyway.

Where at the top? Is the o ring on the top of your chimney where it goes into the top cap? Some Lemos people got didn't have that one installed and it needs to be there.
You can leave them on their side, but I do stand mine up. All my regulated mods are box mods, and I keep my mechs in a stand so they don't roll onto the floor.
Sounds like a vacuum leak in the tank. Make sure there is a gasket at each end of the glass tube, and make sure there is a black o-ring installed at the threads of the upper chimney section.
Thanks for the replies. It hasn't leaked in the past couple of hours. When I finish this tank I'll take it apart and check if all of my rings are in place.
Man I am really loving how it vapes.

Wow. I was missing the O-ring for the top cap (that meets the glass). I ..er...forgot to put it back in after my initial cleaning. 
Move along, nothing to see here .

I hate new atties.... I have broke down this lemo 3 times in the short week I have owned her. Each time it has worked well... very well but want to see just what she can do
Tonite's setup is a 1/8 inch 28 kanthal 6 wraps for a 1.2 ohm coil stuffed with rayon. Vaping super at 25 watts. My kayfuns as much as I like them could never vape at 25 watts

I have a confession to make. I traded my IPV2 for a mech and needed to rebuild all of my attys and haven't even bothered rebuilding my lemo because it's way too fat for the mech [emoji17]
Eh, do it anyway
. 0.5mm per side overhang. My Taifun is on a 22mm mech. And it has those knurled rings and is a total monstrosity. However, I'm sending it to a new home today to someone who gave me an Erlk.At this time my tanks are the Lemo, Erlk, Rosev2 and SquapeR. My Taifun and kayfun just aren't getting the love.
I don't know what I'm going to do with the kayfun. Its a clone so I guess ebay.
How is the Squape? Is it authentic? I've been playing with an Orchid V2 a buddy gave me. Its looks are definitely one of the best things about it. Looks so nice on this Vanilla
I have been vaping mine at 25 watts also, .87 build. My Kayfuns could barley handle 18watts with a 1.3 coil, actually they couldn't, I primed them every few draws. Eleaf really nailed this tank, I just wish they would have used a little higher quality metal in the construction, that is only benefit the Kayfun has over the Lemo....IMO.
Same, but it just feels a little on the light/thin side. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with it, I just like the "feel" of the Kayfun better, but the Lemo wins every other way.
I really like the fact that they machined it thin and lite-weight. Even with them being as big as they are, they're still my lightest tanks. I wish Yiloong would take a lesson from eLeaf (their Foggers are SO heavy!) My only complaint with the Lemo is all the exposed glass, I wish they had a sleeve to cover it. I've only broken one tank so far, but I'm sure it won't be my last.

Try a 0.7 - 0.8 ohm 28 gage spaced parallel build, I've been building mine like that for a while now at up to 50w though I prefer to stay around 30-40 watts. awesome flavor and clouds for days, never once a burnt taste.
And you're right no matter how I wicked or built any of my kayfuns 18w maybe 20w was the celing.
Had my Lemo a week now with an E-holly 35w Both are Fantastic this is my first RBA only had an davidE and a peakomizer before I finally got my coil about right Twisted 28G at 1.1ohm rolled on a screw a tad smaller than a 3m was from a toggle bolt I think it gave me a about a 3/32 Used cotton wool wick and vaping at 30 watts Lots of taste and flavor very satisfied

Thank you, just ordered another. Even with the $6.00 shipping it was less than the one I just got from Eciggity.
Pics and specs. I have done parallel, but not spaced parallel.
Hey guys, I keep getting dry hit on the last 3-4 times I have re-cottoned. I make sure I fluff the cotton-end and push it down softly after putting the ring on however I am still getting cotton taste all the times. I have a 1.2 ohm coil with 26 gauge and have 8 wraps, I usually vape at 20 watts and it used to produce major vapor but now it's all air. The first few times I used it, it was fine but now after about 2 weeks with it, it's horrible.
Any tips? I keep trying different stuff but it's all the same.
