This is going in the Lemo when it's done with its vodka bath.

Also, I am getting rust from the fill screw as well. There is a slight rust ring around where the head of the screw seats. I'm a bit skeptical about the rubber plug, might have to try it while I'm on this long weekend.

All I use is the plug & it's awesome!

Got the Lemo out of her vodka bath. Then I had some.

While feeling pretty good, I installed my 28g twisted coil that had been waiting since last night. This is the warmest, thickest vape I've experienced thus far and I love it!

It just pushes the flavor in my face. Amazing outcome for really not too much extra work. I was aiming for .7, pretty close.

I've been running 30 gauge nickel builds in the Lemo for the last couple days, and it was working well. I decided to throw a new build on today, and jacked up two nickel coils before getting one on - and then it was reading 0.15 ohms on a build that should have been around 0.22-0.23. I gave up and threw a 1.7 ohm 28 gauge kanthal coil on.

Gonna stick with the kanthal. The vape, for me, is better on this coil, and it's a lot easier to wrap, install, and wick. Not to mention flavor changes will be easier - no worries about mangling the coils when rewicking. I can do without temp control - for me, simple kanthal contact coils are consistent and reliable.

BOOM!

The rubber gasket works. I have never had a leak yet. 2 months so far...don't be skeptial. Try it, it doesn't rust.

Lol I didn't realize the gasket came out between the glass and deck when I was rinsing the other night. That was about 10 minutes of anger, of course it was the RTA's fault until I figured it out.

Yeah, I take them all off first and separate them onto a paper towel to keep track...crafty little buggers aren't they!

I too use the gasket never had any problems and I forgot to put it in once :) I have fat fingers and bad eyes so it is a bit of a pain to get it in place. But I love me Lemo even though I dont know my own strength and bent the tube getting it unscrewed Does anyone know where I can get another tube?

EDIT: Misread your post and immediately thought of a replacement glass, which is readily available. I haven't seen any other replacement parts yet.

I too have the fat finger problem. I use the flat end of a syringe to tamp the whole thing down and press the nipple in. Works like a charm. Anything small round and flat would work.
