1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    Sucks about the extra resistance. I assume it's something to do with the connection between the positives on the base and tank sections? You probably can't be arsed but have you tried placing something in between them just to see?
    If you throw it away try and keep the 510 pin for the deck, I wouldn't mind trying to drill one out ;)

    I have found I have a similar relationship with the Lemo as I did with the Erlkonigin. I have forced myself to use it and have begun to get used to it. I think it has just found a window where I have recently gotten a bit bored of the Rogue I had been vaping for the last 3+ months and that it looks so cool on the iStick30 with a stumpy drip tip lol

    I have been using my Lemo for about 4 weeks now and I absolutely love it. Lots of vapor with lots of taste too. I am using it as a hybrid on the evic supreme, great fit and a great look too. Far better than the kayfun knockoff that I had been using previously.

    Originally I was a huge fan of my Lemo, and thought it was one of the best in my collection -recently it has started leaking and I cannot cure it.
    Re-wicked it several times,changed the O rings and swapped the silicone grommet for the screw on the filler top.
    Still leaks.
    No idea why -it must be the wicking but I can't figure out the optimum.
    Tried Rip Trips method,Busardo's cut it off at the top of the chimney and poke it down, and a couple of others.
    What's your best wick for it, please? ?

    I had the same problem when trying a not so tight wick, mine came with a large diamiter coil and very tightly wicked, I gave up trying to wick this like myother tanks and just wick it as tight as I can. I cut the cotton 2-3mm wider than the deck and it never leaks. Ive even had it up to 50watts to see if it would dry hit and it didnt.

    I had the odd leak out of it due to me trying to squeeze as much juice in there as possible.
    I do it similar to rip (I think, can't remember *) but I don't really make any effort to clear the channel as I don't use VG heavy juice.

    I cut it long enough to touch the deck, juice it up and push it to the sides, screw the chamber on and straighten it out a bit if the chamber has moved it. I found wicking it like PB was dry hit city at higher wattages.

    Are you going with a big diameter coil like it came with, about 3 mm. ?

    I will try it tighter in the coil and a bit longer tails.

    Again, after slating the Lemo Drop somewhat for the last few months but still using it every day (a full tank in the drop would last over a week lol), trying umpteen different builds on it (I find 2mm the best for airflow), I tried it with Joule Control.
    Huge improvement

    Just to confirm what I have already said...

    I tried the Lemo Drop out once again in Joule mode after struggling to finish a full tank with Kanthal in the last couple of weeks.
    Using a similar build to what I normally use (last time I used a different build so was unsure if the improvement was due to the build or the TC) and had very similar results.

    For me at least, the Lemo Drop performs 100% better with Nickel (no exaggeration). I'm not sure that the flavour is much of an improvement but the vape quality has doubled possibly giving the illusion of better flavour and more airflow. Strange.

    @Scratchy, I know you have been in a similar boat to me, have you tried it out on any of your DNA40's. I know you had other issues with conductivity so you may well have binned it by now.

    Hi Rick,

    Yeah, I threw it away as I couldn't find a solution to the conductivity problem which, on my copy, was really terrible. I know it would have been really inaccurate with the temp setting vs actual on a DNA40 because of that. I'd be interested in trying again with a good copy or the newer Lemo2 just to see how it does with an Ni200 build.
