Flavor of the lemo is on par with the kayfun imho. The subtank has better flavor than both of them and hold more juice. Airflow on the subtank and the lemo is light years ahead of the kayfun. The lemo is just easy to build and smaller and diameter which makes it easier to take with you on the go. They both make the kayfun seem outdated.

Rondo, I can promise you the cold is affecting your vape if you have 0 problems inside with the same build and the same juice. The cold is making the juice thicker and it's not wicking properly. Go sneak some hits in the bathroom or something hahah

I was really digging my 1.8 build with 26awg, got one now around 1.1 with 26awg as well and I'll probably try to hit .8 sometime tonight once this tank is done. Might get a job at my local vape shop so I'll be buying a couple more Lemo's if that happens. I also don't like only vaping one flavor, but I do have the Atlantis for others I suppose. It's a similar hit, more airy with a little less flavor but it's all good. Couple more Lemo's in the rotation wouldn't hurt I don't think :)

No way. It would be awesome. At least 2 lemo's. I have just put in a fresh piece of cotton and 50/50 vg/pg 3mg honey tab eliquid. I tested it outside and no dy hits now. I forgot that they add PG in anti freeze. I like more vg but i rather not inhale dry hits

I definitely will order another one , in silver this time . Put in the 70/30 vg/pg and vape it more at home

my current Lemo setup

.8 Is what I have in my Lemo Drop right now sitting on my SMPL mech (about 22watts) and the vape is outstanding. I had a .5 build (about 35watts) in there, but the wicking had trouble keeping up. Definitely give that .8 @ 22 watts a go, this area is where the Lemo shines.

I find also using a wide bore drip tip really helps bring out the flavor more. More vapor production. Its a shame the atlantis drip tip does not fit

Nice. Where did you get it. Cost?

This is a cheap one I picked up from Desert Vapes, couple bucks, but the o-rings are so-so, but it is a cheap drip tip so that is to be expected. Carbon Method sells much better ones that fit very well on the Lemo in the $10 - $15 range.

Wide bore is the only way to go on the Lemo.....

I concur.. And the Lemo tip makes my all stainless Nauti tank look like a Lego man with a tall black top hat :laugh: Just got this thing and now I want to try all sorts of coil builds etc what have I done????? :?:

If you use the post holes on the Lemo deck, how tight do you screw down? I have been snapping coils lately. It might be coincidence, but it's only been happening since going to 26g (from 28).

Also, I want to try building a wrapped coil. Up until now,I have been trying to build tensioned coils with a jig. If you're using a wrapped wire can you still tension coil it? Won't that undo or in some way mess up the wrap? Even if it did, would it matter?

28g isn't going to fair as well in the post holes as 26g, it's just thinner. with 28g you are better off wrapping around the screw heads.

Do you mean twisted coil? If so, I really don't see a need for it (in the Lemo), that will only force you to build a bigger coil to accomplish the same thing you can get from a single 26 gauge.

I'm not sure I see the benefits to using the post holes. I've had more problems with hot legs when using them. I find that wrapping around the screws seems to work much better. Or perhaps I've just been doing it wrong....

Yes, sorry I meant 'twisted'.

I was using the screws. But lately I have been trying spaced coils and they were long enough that using the holes seemed appropriate. Although, I have seen some people here using the screws even with the longer coils....maybe I'll try that next time.

I wanted to try the twisted because I heard it increases flavor....is that correct?
