Something else I have noticed using this tank, something that I have seen people list as a negative, the removable 510 connection. This is the perfect condensation collector, so no more moisture on my APV or seeping into the pin. Removing the tank section and leaving the 510 adapter to refill is just as easy as removing the whole set up, so there is no extra step, as I have seen people mention.

I'm loving my Lemo, but I've noticed that the flavor is a bit muted compared to my Nautilus BVC. It makes up for it by giving me a denser, and generally more pleasing vape. What are the recommendations for increasing flavor? Or should I just right it off as growing pains (first time builder). I used 28g Kanthal, 1.2Ohms, 12watts....non-spaced coil.

Pictures of your coil and wick????

I really am going to have to say something is wrong with either A your coil or B your wicking....

A clearomizer typically doesn't give 1/10th the flavor an RBA does. Especially something like the LEMO. The Lemo probably produces the best flavor I have had to date.

Pictures would help us help you.

You might try bumping the watts up. I have a .80 coil in mine and I have my VS set at 25 watts, and still get a cool vape. One of the best things about this tank is you can throw higher watts at it with the increased airflow. If you want to keep your watts where they are at, maybe try dialing down the airflow.

Thing is, I'm not sure I can handle more watts...my lungs have been ravaged by 38yrs of smoking 2 packs of marlboro reds every day. 12 watts seems like the sweet-spot, for now anyways. When I used the Nuatilus, I was at around 10 watts. But I will experiment.

ETA: I must stress that the flavor is not bad at all....just a bit muted compared to what I was used to....if the Nuatilus was a 10 (for me), then my build is a 9. Also, I'm using Japanese cotton.

I have not used a Nautilus tank, but the airflow on the Lemo (I'm guessing) is much better. With more airflow, the flavor will be reduced at lower watts. If you want the lower watts to reduce the vapor production, then less airflow would probably be the way to go.

Yeah Z, bvc coils do taste great. Probably because they are ceramic wicked. Lots of folks swear by ceramic wick for their drippers and bottom feed attys. Mostly nextel xc-116 and xc-132. I've tried both and the flavor is better for some juices but mutes some flavor notes in others. KGD cotton is the closest to neutral flavor and ceramic wick that I have found. CC Rayon is also a good choice for flavor neutrality as well.

That should be a pretty tasty vape. I also smoked 35 years and seem to prefer that type of vape. I would give it a little more power. I'm running a 1.4 ohm at 12.3W. So I would go up a little higher with 1.2ohm. The lower the resistance the more power you want to give it.

I have one on an iStick right now. Have to keep the coil over 1 ohm but it performs well. No complaints here. This device works on almost anything.
Thanks! On a related note, I've read in a number of places that the Lemo can work in hybrid mode and attach to an eVic Supreme. I was wondering if there are other mods besides the eVic that the Lemo can connect to in hybrid mode. Anyone know / have pics?

Just the eVic Supreme for now. If Joyetech comes out with a new mod I'm sure it will as well.

(Bolding mine)

See, now that's news to me. Being a n00b, I thought it was the exact opposite!

I've bought a bunch of stuff from them through Ebay. They ship very fast. I've never any problems so I can't say anything about customer service.

Got it. Did some searching online and most places are out of stock or only have the SS one. I did find one online site - Lemo by Eleaf - RBA - Rebuildable - which is actually offering it for $29.95. Anyone order from this site, and are they a reputable source?

I was gonna cancel my order from vapordna to order the black from them but ended up deciding not to deal with the hassle. Im just gonna get the black lemo drop.
