You can't ask, you have to tell
I tried, its up to the person asking for the help to listen.
When I ask and someone who obviously knows what they are talking about offers advice after I ask for it, I usually give it a shot
Did you drill the hole where the juice channel is, or above it?

I did and I appreciate that.
From whats being said I must be lucky
right now I'm running a 5/64s coil with walmart yarn at 1.2 ohms with 29ga kanthal
And haven't had a leak at all
I have been doing the same build I do on my kayfun 4
the air control is set halfway no leaks no gurgle and no burnt hits all the way to 26wats
Ive done this build 3 times on it now with the same results
I carry it out in the heat and the atty gets hot but still no leaks
I do push my wick back away from the juice channels and spread it out

Just above the threads, inline with the juice channels. I just increased it to a 7/64" hole, and it's even better. I think the original juice channels are getting jealous. I don't see any bubbles from them anymore.
That's because it doesn't have to try so hard with a 1.2 ohm build. I'm assuming most people are getting dry hits at .5 or lower.
I know I was.
Also, the air control half closed gives it more pull pressure, sucking the juice in. I think most of us are wanting hot .5 with full airflow.

Yeah, can you imagine the horror of having all 7 pieces of it spread out before you? That's like 15-20 seconds worth of work just to screw it together.
Bullshit, I say. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I take it these people haven't ever taken a Kayfun V4 apart....now there's a project when you first open your vapemail
Came home last night to mine having magically appeared in my mailbox (no tracking updates). Go USPS.
Initial impression after spending a few hours messing around:
- Getting the wicking just right is playing out to be more of a pita then i'd prefer to bother with out of a out-and-about tank setup. .1 ohm nickel coil on my sx mini took me a few attempts (and some wasted juice each go) to get going, but even once i seemed to have it dialed in it's still struggling to keep up with higher wattages (25+) wide open while chain vaping the way i do.
- Expanded airflow over the Lemo Drop feels like a disappointment. IDK, guess i expected it to be more...or at least enough to warrant the upgrade. I personally don't find this to be the case, or the quality of the vape to be dramatically better then what i can get out of the original.
When i left the house a bit ago to make my grocery store run...i still took the Lemo Drop instead. I'll ticker around with it more tomorrow.

What's the capacity of the lemo drop? And how foes the full open draw compare?
On my lamo2 with the SX- 8, 3mm spaced wraps with 26g has me at a 0.8ohm.. Running it 34j -powerful - 470 degrees it's chain vaping beautifully

Anyone having wicking issues with thicker juice ?
I have the lemo drop , this one I'll pass on.

The area between the ID of the glass and evaporation chamber barrel is really narrow, thicker juice flows slowly through that section, to avoid dry hits you have to wick appropriately to make up for this.
Lemo Drop is listed at 2.7ml. Comparison wise with airflow (both wide open) it's a little tighter, but like i said we are not talking about a night and day difference some are making it out to be there (imo). The pictures on the Lemo 2 are little misleading in that regard. It's still closer to Drop/Kayfun4 style vape then crossing the line into dripper/bigger airflow territory.
Rewicked it again today. This time going to a .8 build, using Rayon, and skipping the various pancake methods in favor of cutting the wick above the casing and stuffing it down. Went as thick as i could get through the coil. Initially seems to be keeping up better as i creep up on the Joules. Flavor still seems a touch muted over the Drop, but that could just be a difference in the juice.
Well it's held up a lot better today with this new build. At 32J/480 now with no issues wide open.
Unless one counts the muted flavor, which is to be expected i guess. I'd personally recommend not to buying into the hype there for those interested. If you are like me and find your sweet spot in the 30-35w range, it definitely won't be threatening my drippers (Magma/Mutation Xv2/Derringer) for at home use time.

Can we see a pic when you get a chance?
I tried that twice, but my Tapatalk crashed. :| i'll post a pic when i get home.
So you notched the barrel where the juice channel is? Its hard for me to see. Did it fuck up thr threads at all?
Yeah, right where the channel is. I suppose its possible to fuck up the threads, but i didn't.

Nicely done.
Got my lemo 2 today and pretty much hating on it. Opened up the chimney to allow better wicking but still getting hot hits and a bit scratchy. Wanted it for nickel builds with temp. Right now it's 28 g 3mm diameter and .16 ohms. Set to 400 degrees and 25 joules. But it just sucks.

Check the oring under the glass. Make sure its not blocking the juice channel. Also make sure the wick is not blocking it also.
The only other thing would be to use 50/50 or 60/40 pg/vg. It doesn't like thick juices.
Mine runs about 35j@500degrees. It cn definitely be finicky.
Oh. One more thing, at times I just won't tighten the chamber down all the way.
Yup. I did all of those after re-reading this thread. Just seems silly that I can't have anything tight on it or it stops wicking. I have all 80 VG and up so this tank is really struggling. Prob most disappointed in the flavor. It's surprisingly no better than my original Atlantis V1. Closing the air flow just gets the vape hotter. Next stop, silo beast lolo

I did follow your approach and modified mine right after the first dry hit. It's better than the original but still has problems with high VG. I may try to modify the slots even more to see if it helps. My sx m doesn't go into temp dry coil warning........any longer. Before the slots being cut in the sx would shut it down real quick.Pancake wicking fixed it a bit, but Dremel cured all ails.

I have the original glass from V1. The clearance between the glass and chimney is so small on these units. No wonder

Ok fellow vapers. After letting my frustrating day pass I picked this back up this am and it's actually pretty good. Dropped the temp down to 400 degrees and messed with the tightness of it all and it's now hitting petting good. The flavor is there at half open on the air flow and the vapor output is nice. I think I'll keep her going for a while to see if she keeps up with me lolol. So far so good

Yeah, i was at that point too until i tired of the ongoing routine of messing with the tightness every other day (haven't really had the free time to go hunt down somebody to drill holes for me). Sometimes it got to the point where i practically had the tank unscrewed and about to come undone just to keep the juice flow open.
Great when it works, but as a bought new purchase it played out to be a pretty epic fail imo.
I hear ya. I did drill mine out too but the constant messing to get it vaoe right is pissing me off. Once I get it right time to refill then it's all effed up again

Sounds easy in theory. Many have tried and they come with a flaw in each. But then again we are own people and opinions will vary
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S5 Dumbphone
I'll settle for the first 2 out of 3 if it meant trading off the easy fill for dependable juice flow.
Which don't get me wrong, because i really loved the filling concept of the Lemo 2 on the surface. But for a device that sucks through juice as fast as it does, while needing constant micro monitoring of how hard and where you tighten it.......it just plays out to be a bad marriage. I cried a little inside every time i had to refill, especially those times i did have it working beautifully.
Right on brother.
I couldn't have said it any better. Great statement

It may be just my opinion,
At this stage of the vaping game all three should be more than doable.
Had eleaf done no more than incorporate the design of the top cap and bottom airflow on the v1 this atty would wick just fine. That 1mm difference in the internal diameter is the reason it has issues wicking. - in my opinion
And im aware of the flaw in each.
I've tried several since TC came out
Kayfun4-not enough airflow(with 4s kit)
Squape r -not enough airflow
Taifun ii- not enough airflow
Erlkoengin -closest to perfect with open draw post but still a hair tight
Rose v2- not enough airflow
Ruzgar- way to tight and bad wicking
I reckon I just thought that with the entrance of temp limiting, the single coil rtas would make a comeback
Plenty of good dual coils, aqua v2and the silverplay with a k4 top both rock and personally I love the damn things but the decks are way to small for a good ni200 build.
The lemo1 was a great performer wicked perfect, but again at this stage a syringe and screwdriver should be past tense. Other than that its great, o guess it just kills me when I see one step forward and 2 steps back.
Is there a single coil RTA that I've not tried?

Yeah. Don't use Ni200 without a chip that can do temp control. N80 is perfectly safe to be used in every device.
Thanks for the reply.
I have recently gotten the lemo 2 and working thru the issues with it. I use temp mode exclusively on all my vapes. Current only have 28 g nickel wire. Suggestions on best build to achieve great flavor without going too low in resistance. Would rather not change our batteries after two hits lolol. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also what us the best placement in regards to height above the air hole?

What mod?
On the SXmini, im at 7/9 wraps, 3mm 26g, gives me 0.07 ohms.
On the dna40 10/11 wraps of 28g 3mm puts me at about 0.11
I go about the same height as the stock coil was
Yes sorry bout that. I use the SX M. I did a 28 g 3mm with about 8 wraps and was around .13. Not bad but flavor wasn't anything to be impressed aboutWhat mod?

Yeah I DIY, so I can compensate for that one really easily.
I did notice the higher power the better flavor.
Mine is set at 43j and 540 degrees, gives pretty good flavor there with the savory desert stuff. The fruit flavors are pretty non-existent. At least to me.
