Hey everyone, I've been smoke free for nearly 4 months now. I'm so stoked at how this whole experience has gone thus far. That said, I'm a little stumped on something and I can't seem to find a clear answer despite having searched for a few days.
I just got a Lemo 2 to serve as somewhat of a straight forward approach to building my own coils. I like the simple single coil setup with top-fill support. My box is a sigelei 150w TC and prior to getting my Lemo 2, I've been rocking a herekles tank on the .6 coil at 75w/7.2v.
After constantly hearing about how building a deck is far superior to pre-built coil setups, in addition to the clear cost saving benefits, I bit the bullet and got the Lemo 2. I'm currently running the coil it came with which is a 24g single loose kanthal at 6 wraps showing a load of .54ohm. Initially I was dealing with a ton of dry hits but I've refined my wicking technique to where dry hits are rare.
The problem though is while I was at 80w/7.2v on my herekles lung inhaling and basically chain vaping with nice full-bodied and flavorful hits, I can only run about 25w/3.6v on the Lemo 2 without it throwing a terribly dry hellish hit. To my despair I realized that all these people with wick and wrapping tips who solve their own Lemo 2 dry hit issues end their message with "now I can easily hit 20w all day, woohoo!". Or "As long as I don't pull hard, I'm getting barely any dry hits at 30w!". I was hoping that the Lemo 2 would provide the same robust hits as my herekles while crushing it in the flavor department.
So, are my expectations of what's feasible from a Lemo 2 too high? Did the herekles spoil me or something? I really want to wrap and would prefer to stay away from super complex rocket science decks for now. As it stands, I just cant see how this Lemo 2 can satisfy me if the standard acceptable power it runs best at it is a nominal 3.6v. I honestly feel like I'm going from smoking a newport to a virginia slim ultra ultra ultra light or something.
What are your thoughts and thanks in advance!
