I just got my 2 drops in the mail today. Haven't messed with them yet, but the size compared to my 2 full sized is nice. Not ridiculously smaller, but noticeably smaller. Think I'll try these at around .5-.8ohms.

Really?
Good evening ladies and gentleman of the Lemo thread. I've been following your conversation from the very beginning--thank you all for great information.
I'm almost ready to order a Lemo Drop. Almost. I am a low(ish) watt vaper, mouth to lung, who finds the draw on a KFL +V2 with two airholes (2mm each) quite nice, but would still like a bit more airflow. So I have a question about Lemo's airflow control: can it be tightened to almost Kayfun-like draw at its lowest setting? I like air, but I don't want a cloud-chasing, fog-machine-like air. Basically, I'm looking for a bit more air than a Kayfun has to offer, but with Kayfun's flavor.
Thanks again for the great thread.
You can lock the airflow down to closed if you so choose that lets absolutely no air in. You will have to fiddle with the airflow to dial it in. I was the same way coming from a kayfun, in the end I have removed the airflow control all together as I moved along.

Interesting. I got nervous when I saw the size of that center airflow hole; it's gigantic compared to the Kayfun's.
Thanks--it really is not about the price even. I just want a single-coil RBA that is well designed, easy to rebuild and has enough airflow. Why Svoemesto or Ehpro or anybody can't just make a Kayfun with a larger center air in beyond me. Such a great design with such a stupid flaw. I was hoping that the K4 might address the issue, but I really didn't care for what they finally delivered--seems so cumbersome and over-designed, IMO.
So it's back to square 1 for me in my search for a perfect (for me) RBA/RTA.
Well if it counts for anything I have about 20 different Atties right now, other than my Hobo v2.1 that I just picked up they all sit on the shelf. I only use my 4 Lemo's. I keep looking at the KF4 but I fear that would just wind up being a $200 paper weight.

Anyone use max VG juice in their Lemos? Rip claims to use 90vg in his but just looking at the viscosity of his tank its not just a lie but a blatant one lol. I pretty much only vape max VG where the juice is practically syrupy, the Lemo CAN wick it but not near as high wattage as a 70vg obviously. Probably going to just have to buy juice specifically for tanks at a lower VG but was just curious if anyone has gotten it to work well with juice that thick.
I had issues that I posted earlier as far as getting low air flow. Long story short, took it apart, removed coil and found a screw(same size as the one holding coil legs) inside vent hole ( not sure what it is called, so hole that is below the coil). Was using it for day and a half unaware of the screw and obviously concerned now. Should I be or not a big deal?

All of the juice in my Lemos are "100%" VG. With Rayon done properly, it would wick just fine if it were 200% VG!
I actually havent tried rayon in my Lemos yet, suppose I should have tried it since it wicks maxVG so well lol
Dravell, even a 100% VG ejuice can be thinned out with a little distilled water. I've had pure VG juices that were as thin as any PG or PG/VG blend. It's the viscosity of the juice that matters, and that can easily be adjusted.
The flavor from Rayon is fantastic in the Lemo once you get the density through the coil correct. With Rayon, I find it extra important to make sure the liquid channels are exposed in the wells. It seems with cotton I can be a little more careless.

The draw can be tightened to taste. However, I have found the AFC control nut likes to back off and open up during use. The easy correction is to set the airflow to preference and install a spare drip tip o-ring over the center post to hold the position once set.
I wouldn't be surprised if your air flow preference changes over time after using the Lemo. I'm a mouth to lung vaper as well, but I now find vaping a kayfun like sucking through a cocktail straw. I still don't use the Lemo wide open myself, but just a little restriction seems to do the trick for me.
Thanks bud, I havent used my rayon much, LOVED how well it wicks but I always got a...I guess a *very* slight cotton burning taste despite being well saturated and showing no signs of burning. I may be sensitive to rayons flavor or I just havent figured out how to use it since wick in coil density is so different than cotton.
Hopefully I can get it going, I dont really want to water down my juice or buy whole new ratio juice specifically for my tanks.
The Lemo vapes so well at 40-50 watts id love love love to be able to use my max VG that high and maintain wicking.
Lemo Drop up and running this morning! I used the pre-built coil, which is huge and built at 1.2 ohms. I re-wicked it with Labo organic cotton before using{who knows what that wick is..no thanks} LOTS of vapor & great flavor!
I am running it on my stingrayX. Which is working kind of wonky on me right now due to a bad switch-awaiting arrival of a new switch.
But yeah...wow!
I use rayon in my magma, but with tanks I use the Japanese organic cotton. Labo or Ko Gen Do. I have both. I kind of prefer the labo. The pads of Ko Gen Do are larger, but not as thick as the Labo.
