I use only Cherry Vapes Delrin tips on all my Lemos. Just seems to open up the vape more for me than the narrow tips that come with the Lemos. And they sit snug on the Lemos.

Do they match the tip base on the Lemos, or is there a small diameter difference?
I've been looking for a good delrin tip that's the same size as the little flare on the bottom of the standard one.

I have one of the Cloud Chaser tips from Cherry Vape and it fits well in the Lemo.

Well, I couldn't replace o rings and silicone seals as I had hoped. I've either lost the spares in the original box, or someone in my household (ahem....wife), has thrown it away. Until it's located, I'm blaming someone else....LOL. Anyway, guess I'm gonna keep working to perfect my wicking. I think I may have a combination of sub par wicking and not the greatest gravity feed because I do occasionally get some leaking through the 510 connection. Nothing terrible, just a slight "seeping" and I'd say it's a few drops collecting over a tankful of e liquid.

I'm noticing on my last wicking job that I get nice bubbles after a few vapes, so I think that I'm feeding liquid better. But , if I let the tank sit for a bit, then come back to it, I get a dry hit? Is it pretty normal for the liquid to run off that wick ? Do all of you re-prime after your tank sitting for a bit? Does this sound like a gravity feed issue?

If anyone has a domestic (not Fasttech) source for the right sized orings and silicone washers, I'd be happy to place an order. Sorry if I missed it but this thread's getting longer all the time to find things.

The question is, in the Lemo thread, how are you guys not vaping 20ml a day? (but point taken lol)

During my clearo phase, I would vape around 3-5ml a day. Since getting my Lemo, I have been vaping 6-10ml per day (mostly 6-7).....it's just too good! It never ceases to amaze me. I have started DIY to try to keep the cost down.

Same, I started DIY as well. My nicotine is really harsh, and I dropped down to 3mg to reduce irritation. I got a Nude Nicotine sample, so I will try upping it and see if I can reduce the amount liquid I'm going through. What nicotine levels are you guys using?
 
I started on 18mg. Used that for about 2 months but kept getting headaches. Finally figured out the nic was the culprit, so I dropped down to 3mg. I didn't even notice the difference physically. A little less TH, but absolutely no signs as far as WD or anything like that goes. I don't DIY though...and I drip mainly. But I don't notice a difference between the lemo and dripping as far as nic goes.

B2T, said it before, wick heavier and your dryhits will go away. I mean, really chunky wick that beatch! Roll the wick down between your fingers to get it through the coil. I'm using a 7/16" wide de-skinned strip of kgd to wick an 1/8" coil, wick angle cut, just touching the deck as shown in one of my previous posts. Vaping at 40w with no dryhits. No primer puffing. This ain't no Protank bro....wick it chunky!!

That's not quite what I meant, but I appreciate the input.

I'm trying to find a tip that has the same outside diameter of the step on the top cap. Where the flared base of the original tip meets the cap.

So did you vape a lot more going from 18mg to 3mg? Big jump...

Negative. I really thought I would, but I literally felt no difference. I was worried about taking such a big step at first, so a buddy of mine let me vape on some of his 3mg for the better part of a day, and I had no adverse effects from the lower nicotine. I've ordered 3mg ever since.

I received my Lemo today in the vape mail. The excitement soon faded as I realized the bottom 510 connector wasn't threaded?:blink: I left eleaf a e/mail,and the vendor I purchased it from,so we will see how fast the response is? So far my Lemo is a LEMON"! 001 (19).jpg001 (19).jpg

    Your photo looks like my Lemos that are working fine.
    The threading does not need to go the full length.
