That's my problem! I have a VS rDNA-40 which is great with nickel builds on my Lemo, but then I go back to my kayfun or Russian and I find I'm craving that flavor in the Lemo.

But it's a slippery slope. I'm sure then I'll want a second VS for the second Lemo.

Sigh... At least I'm not smoking, even if I'm not saving money!

And I'm totally happy with that!

I've just gotten spoiled by the DNA-40 and temperature regulated coils! But the wife wouldn't be too happy with me purchasing another!

If you are getting dry hits at all any time it's defiantly a wicking issue.
Just outside recently. Its really cold here the past few days. I had zero issues a few days before that. I have changed my cotton and dry burned the coil the other day. Zero issues inside. Im reading high vg might be the potential issue. Now using 70/30 vg/pg. I was going to give away my 50/50 vg/pgbut now im glad i didnt .

Whoever came up with that doesn't know my wife

Thankfully my wife knows this has now turned into more than just a method to stop smoking and become a full on hobby, I could probably pull off the flask purchase, but it might be met with some resistance and some serious compromises!!

I've said those EXACT words before...still slept in the doghouse

I told her I was drunk when I hit the "buy it now" button...which wasn't a lie! (what sober person spends that much on a frickin battery holder?)

I just got my Lemo Drop yesterday and got my ohm meter and Japanese cotton in today. I went ahead and checked out the factory setup before doing anything as this is my first rebuildable setup. After that I went ahead and juiced up the coil and cotton that came with it and gave it several good burns before hitting on it. I am not sure why people seem so overly concerned about the wire and cotton used from the factory when it comes to rebuildables but how many people use the replaceable coils and change out the wire and wick? None and odds are it is the same materials. That said I didn't notice anything off putting and the unit was clean from oil and swarf very nice.

After a tank on that stock setup that came in at 1.07 ohms on my VTR (which I noticed my juice consumption went up a bit lol) I wanted to strip it down and have a first go at a coil. But I wanted it to be at least 1.2 ohms so it would fire on my Vamo. Nailed it! First go 3/32nd bit with 7 wraps 28g Kanthal A1 and came right in at 1.3 ohms right where I was hoping to land. Put the connections to the posts easy greasy. Lifted and positioned it off the deck over the air hole, dry burned it and tweaked it once with the tweezers and ran my cotton. Tucked it in place and juiced it up and away it goes on the Vamo vaping like a charm. Also I notice it is really easy to just fill it from the top if you hold the glass tube down with one hand and fill with the bottle keeping pressure until you have the top screwed on. It is also easier to drain any liquid back into the bottle this way versus letting it out the fill hole.

So that is that and I am digging the Lemo. Not sure it really does more then I needed with say a Nautilus tank as I am not cloud chasing or sub ohm running, but it does give me the bigger vape I want in less time which was a goal as well, I hate sucking on a tip for 7-9 seconds!. I just want a nice flavorful vape in the 1.2-1.8 range at around 7.5-12 watts with a fast ramp up for a short pull time. Having the ability to mess with coil setups will give me this ability and also allow for easy re-wicking for new flavors and get rid of that process of leeching out the old as the new comes into the wick, yuck. Oh and no more disposable coils to buy beyond what I already use and for those few tanks they keep the same juice flavors in them :) Win, win, win!

Found that I could use it like a dripper as well with just the chimney on and the top hat to get a taste for a new juice before filling it up. If its not good just re-wick and wipe down and get a new flavor! Love it!
