Lemo - Drilled Out Air Holes (with Pics)

Just got this SX 350 mini M. It's been working beautifully sans a few issues that I am sure are user induced.

First off I will tell you that the Lemo 2 that came in at the same time is Freaking awesome. I have a Kanger Sub Lemo drop and now the Lemo 2. The Lemo 2 kicks *** I the airflow department. It's robust and easy as hell to fill. I put a 3mm coil in it and pancaked the wick. 9 wraps and it's coming in at .118 ohms. Awesome flavor production and nice thick vapor.

So I moved on to the Tugboat to see how Ni200 fairs in the RDA world on this particular device. I went bananas with my coil and ended up with this monstrosity.



I twisted two strands of 28g Ni200 together with a drill and wrapped it 17 times. It comes in at .06 ohms. Performance wise it takes a while to ramp up but when it does it produces thick vapor but towards the hot side. Another thing is that the drip too gets hot really quickly. I'm running it 50J and have the temp cut off at 425F. The hot drip tip is one of the issues I mentioned. I vaped this thing bone dry and didn't get any burnt taste.

Then I moved on to the Lemo drop. The manual had an interesting coil method reccomended so I decided to go for it.





This one I wrapped about 10 times on a 3mm driver. Stuffed a small amount of additional cotton down inside like the manual suggested. The problem is that it gets stupid hot (the drop tip) stupid fast. I'm running it at 17J because this one is coming in at .365 ohms.

Short story long the device itself is working great. I just need to find the sweet spot with this Ni200 coil wise. Any tips in that department would be greatly appreciated.

At the end of it all the LEMO 2 and the Mini M seem like they were made for one another.  

I have recently purchased a DNA 40 device and feel like I have lost all my build knowledge!! I am using awg 28 wire if I do 10 wraps on a 2.5mm drill bit I get a reading of around .13 on any of my devices if I replicate the build on the Lemo it comes out .27 or above. What is going on can someone share any light on this?

Right now I have a cloupor mini and a magma and a subtank. But I'm ready to upgrade. I want to push the ohms lower and the watts up. My mini only goes to 30w but I'm looking to vape maybe 50 watts plus. So I'm thinking around a 70 or 75 watt mod and idk about a new topper. I'm thinking maybe a lemo and some kind of a new dripper. Maybe a plume veil or mutation x. Anyone have any recommendations. Btw I am on a budget.  

Finally! I've tried so many sub ohm tanks with a shelf of them to prove it along with box mods and I've found my perfect set up that I'm 100 percent happy with. That urge of "must have more" and "must have the latest and greatest" has finally subsided after 100s of dollars spent. I can finally relax on hardware and focus on enjoying good juices. I still stay up on new tech but I'm finally happy on my go to juice vendor and hardware. Oh what a good feeling!

My goto set up: Atlantis V1 with cotton coils and 5ml upgrade and ipv mini 2 at 32 watts. Any higher then 32 and the vape is too warm to enjoy. To justify this, I personally own the following:

Atlantis V2
Subtank
Subtank mini using both Occ and rba
Delta I I using both coil and rba
Lemo
Lemo 2
Arctic tank
Starre tank
Herakles tank
Kayfun
Kay fun v4

Ipv mini 1
Istick 30
Istick 20
M50 with 65w upgrade

My go to juices are all from itcvapes. 20$ for 120ml for the win.

Time to sell off old items or give them to friends to help them quit smoking.

FYI I'm so busy that rebuilding isn't an option for me. It's much Cheaper, and I have a ton of kanthal in different gauges with a big bag of Koh Gen do, but I'd rather pay for convenience of coils.

Wonderful feeling!  

Anybody have one yet? https://www.eleafus.com/image/cache...-Drop-Atomizer/lemo-drop-atomizer-600x600.png ,

I'm ready to upgrade from Protank and EGO bat. Was ready to pull trigger on Kayfun Nano and a Mech. Then I find this. I hear the Lemo is better than the Kayfun, But I don't want a 5ml tank. I want between 2 and 3 ml. I'm not after chasing clouds. I am out to vaporize a little bit of nicotine, instead of smoking a Marlboro. I figure I can get a little bit better Flavor, and a more consistant enjoyable vape, Than a EGO-T1100mah and Mini PT3 tank.  

Anybody out there have one of these Zephyrus tanks and care to share their opinion?

I want to upgrade from my subtank and was going to get a lemo 2 but than i saw these. It's still pretty new and there doesn't seem to be much info/reviews about it yet. I really like that you can use factory coil heads or the rba and the price is pretty good (averaging $30).  

Just a little warning to all who have purchased the Lemo 2- Do not use the wire included in the box.
I was a little worried when i was using the stock coil and noticed it had been turning a green color after a few days of use, not sure if this is the case with all Lemo 2's, but if you notice your wire is turning greenish, just throw it out and replace it. I don't believe this is kanthal, it could possibly be nichrome, but it's properties are not matching up with those of kanthal. My worries were confirmed when I decided to put a parallel 5 wrap coil on my rda with that wire because of my lack of other 24 gauge... Well today when I took out my cotton and dry burned the coil a little to rid it of excess juice, the coil actually deformed and somewhat melted on my rda . I don't know what kind of metal this is, but I'm positive it is not kanthal, this has never happened to me with kanthal, and this wire seems to be of a lower resistance than kanthal. Anyway, just wanted to let ya'll know to be careful with that wire, or just throw it out altogether. Otherwise, the Lemo 2 is a fantastic tank  

Hey all.

So I've been vaping since January. I started out on a kanger ego and an aspire k1. Since then I've gone through aspire cf batteries, and finally made my way to my current set up. An mvp 3.0 or istick50w with my subtank mini.

At first using the stock occ coils with the subtank, I decided to buy some wire and cotton and here I am. Been building my own coils using the RBA section and loving it. I wick it properly and never get a dry hit, going anywhere from 18-25 watts, which is my preferred settings.

Now, it's only my preferred settings because I can't seem to go any higher. On either device. I get dry hits like crazy despite pancake wicking which I've specifically done to prevent said dry hits. I always have heard that it can possibly taste better the hotter it gets. And I don't mind a hot vape. But it won't let me try!

I'm well saturated, well wicked, and my juice can be anywhere form 50/50 to 70/30pg. I can do quick pulls on fully open, and slower toots on the middle setting on the subtank. I just can't go any higher than 25watts and I don't know why!


And that's not for just the coils I built. It's for the stock occ .5 ohm coil as well. And like I said all my cotton is beyond well saturated. Any help?  

So I picked up a 'spade bit' set for my drill and a block of wood at a home depot, went to town and made a little vape station:



In case anyone is interested here's what I used:

Spade bit set 1.5 inch sq. block of wood (pine?) (they cut a yard into three pieces) random piece of what I'm calling 'molding' to beautify the thing a touch A drill Just line up the spade bits with your devices to see which bits to use. Roughly measure how deep you will need to go into the wood so as not to go through the other side. Spade bits have a long pointy tip that protrudes beyond the cylinder they create, so using a different bit set would probably be ideal, this is a cheap/easy way to do it. With this setup you will have little indents in the center of each hole, but it doesn't bother me.

I still need to sand it, glue on the 'molding', and stain it. Should look nice after. Also, for the eleaf istick (50W) on the right, I had to drill 3 times with the same bit. The hole isn't perfect but some sanding should help. Mark your wood with pencil before drilling (measure twice cut once!), and/or do what I did and get 3 pieces in case you make a mistake (or want to expand later!).

Of course you could buy something like this, but this way you can have it be custom to whatever devices you happen to own. Cheap, efficient, space saving, easy to do (seriously, took me like 5 min to measure and 15 min to drill the holes).

Here's the spade bit set:

It rolls up nicely.

Here's the 'molding' with one of the un-drilled blocks:


I'll also note I have no experience doing anything like this, just kinda had a thought at the hardware store = )

Update

I sanded, stained, and poly-ed. It's not perfect but I'm happy:


He she is all loaded up:
 

hi all
I have a mvp 3 and I use iclear 30 tanks 1.9 to 2.1 ohms
im vapeing at 12 watts 5.1 volts and have been for a few weeks now
everything was fine until today right now in fact hence the reason for this question
I refilled my tank and screwed it back on my mvp when I pressed the button to vape
it reads the ohms and volts and wattage the wattage was as normal 12 watts
the volts were 7.1 and the ohms were 6.0 totally unvapable and burnt tasting
(I should also point out that the volts and watts are locked in on the mvp)
I have also tried the tanks on other devices and still the same issue
which leads me to believe its the tanks at fault and not the device
I have been vapeing long enough to understand the reasons for burnt taste
and the causes and solutions to rectify it but I have never had this happen before
I tried other tanks and the same has happened except for one which works fine
does anyone have any idea whats going on
thanks
steve
