The Lemo RTA: A Build With Pics

How do you guys deal with a stuck bottom piece

You might try putting it in the freezer for a while. Or as also suggested gently using pliers. Hope this helps......

Addendum: I was wondering -- what about loosening the 510 screw? Might that "release" tension on the innards and allow you to remove the base piece? Mine is in use now so can't try it but wanted to mention.... hope it's not too far off base.......

Try a couple of the rubber grip pads used to upen stuck jars. Better gripping!

Yeah I've been using pliers but it gets stuck quite often and I scratched the top of my rdna getting it off...

Hey question, I've been enjoying my lemo and now I have taken it all apart to clean it and. I don't think I'm putting the base back together correctly. The one post to screw down the wire is really loose, looser than it was and if I push from the bottom where the afc is it straight pops out a few mm. Is there a piece I'm. Missing he re? Or a special way to screw that afc through the base? Seems others have had a similar problem but nothing I do works and perhaps it's a missing piece in there

Could someone maybe take apart the base, afc screw, and tell me the pieces? Although I did that and now cannot get it to make a connection, on both my vamo and ohm box, so,caution! I have the base, the plastic piece holding the one screw for coils, and the big screw with the afc piece on it. I think I'm missing a piece that goes under.

I asks eciggity where I got it so I'll post back when I figure this out incase someone else has the same trouble.

From base down, 1) wire post base ( the positive I think), 2) white silicon base, 3) white silicon washer ( goes on the bottom side through air tube piece. Make sure it's going in the right side up, otherwise air flow tube or whatever you would call it will not screw all the way) 4) adjustable air flow screw 5) air flow tube ( I'm sure there is a name for it that doesn't sound so stupid. thing that holds it all together. Metal piece)

To grip the pieces without damaging them use rubber bands or a rubber jar lid opener.

Does this help?

I am getting irregular leaking from same build and have no idea why. One tank fine, refill and it leaks. Used silicon plug, went back to screw, same thing. Not sure if it's leaking from the hole where you fill the tank or airflow tube. Anyone had similar issues and figured out? I don't fill the tank all the way, wick I doubt could be an issue (KGD). I am lost. And frankly, frustrated.

Checked both silicon rings top and bottom are there , is it leaking after you fill it or all the time ?

 

[BNEAT]

Or is this what you were looking for?

I think both rings are there. It's leaking most of the time. Sometimes a lot. Lost. Maybe when I put it together I should have fill hole closed? And open it only when I fill it, and not before to have more vacuum?

I make sure the bottom piece is secured tightly on the tank first. That does seem to help. Mine has gotton stuck and i typically just wait a while before trying to screw off. Its kind of nice they built it this way as i can easily swap lemos on the same mod.

The Screw is always in mine only take it out to fill then back in.
Any juice in the bottom part that you unscrew ? has the 510 screw bit that connects to the mod

Mine has only ever had some like lets say condensation - very small less than a drop.
Just wondering if you had juice in there.

I've never touched the screw that the air flow control goes around - just set the air ring to full but If your screw there is bad or you've touched it , perhaps ?

You may have blown the wick tails off/out of the channels when you refilled your tank. I use a needle tipped bottle for refilling all of my tanks now. I used to be able to fill them with a regular juice bottle, but it took too long, and quite often it ended in failure. Even with a needle I dislodge the wicks every now and then, probably because I trim the wick tails down to almost nothing.

 

[Wolfenstark]

My lemo doesn't like the the wick touching the juice channels near the side of the chamber - I have them touching the deck and pushed away from the sides.

Juice the wick and with the chamber on just push them back so i can see the holes at the bottom of the chamber.

Ive then juiced it up and turned it upside down and right side up several times and no problems with the wick getting out of place

Well i did this a couple of times when I added more vg to a liquid already in there.

 

[BNEAT]

I trim the Rayon tails down to practically nothing, then tuck them into the channels ever so slightly, but definitely IN the channels. They have NEVER leaked like this unless I accidentally create pressure in the tank when I'm refilling...I wish I could say this about all of my tanks!

Funny how differently we all do things and still have good results

 

[Wolfenstark]

Its ok if my wicks are in the channels as long as the wick ends are not blocking the gaps at the outer sides of the chamber.

Opposite to my KFL + which doesn't mind the wick ends at the sides of the chamber - So i wicked the Lemo the same way and didn't perform good - So tried this way which i had read people do and it has been good.

I think its may be because the lemo juice channels are larger than in the KFL+ I have.

Gonna try posting this here too since this thread seems more active.

To those of you that have both a Lemo and a Lemo Drop, do you find that the juice flow is more restricted on the Drop? On my Lemo I can run it at 24 watts with no issues but with the Drop I have to turn it down to like 15 watts otherwise I hit my TP cutoff which suggests to me that the juice flow is inadequate. Additionaly, if I let it sit for a while to feed, or force some juice into the chamber by slightly unscrewing and retightening the tank I get a strong vape for a while, then I start slamming into the TP, again suggesting a feed problem. I'm thinking it might be because the small tank chamber creates a stronger vacuum while simultaneously reducing the pressure of the liquid itself to gravity feed into the tank. As I vape it, emptying the tank, I get more air into the tank it seems to feed better. Anyone else experiencing this? Maybe I'm just overfilling it?

 

[Wolfenstark]

Never had mine completely full - close though.

I guess maybe the juice flows easier when some air gets above it - This may be the way for most of these devices.
For me its always seemed like more of a wicking issue if somethings wrong.

I have a Drop on the way, should be here today to add to my Lemo family, I'll pop a build in it and let you know my results, but wat you are discribing is a classic underwicking and/or vaccum loss issue.

 

[BNEAT]

100% agree. I fill my Lemos completely every time, and I don't think they have ever had a vacuum related problem like most of my other RTAs.

And when I say completely, I mean only the tiniest of bubbles left in the tank.
