Hi people.

I have had the lemo V2 for a few months now, and at first it was great, it took a whole tank with no dry hits. I must of changed my wicking technique though, as I always get dry hits not and have to cover the airholes and suck juice through to the chamber.

Anybody got tips on wicking the thing so I don't get dry hits? I think I may be using LESS wicking material than before, I will try that next time, but it is definitely not working like it was.

I managed to remove the chimney from the top piece too! I was advised by

I managed to remove the chimney from the top piece too! I was advised by poisonsilver to put the part in the freezer. I did for an hour, and with grips and a towel I got it apart. Much better, gave it a good cleaning.

So, anyone with any tips would be a great help.

What an Idiot. It was on my 150, which I had been using with a dripper earlier. It was set at 65 watts.No wonder I was getting a hot vape and a few normal hits then dry. I have turned it down to 22.7 and will see if it happens now.

I've been running my Lemo 2 with a Titanium coil as of late. 490 Degrees @ 45 Joules does the trick.

You know what, it needs a new coil, and I got some titanium this week. I am going to give TC a go with the lemo and D2. I have never tried TC in a tank.

Arrgghhh, its still getting occasional dry hits! I am using 70vg/30PG so its not exactly the thickest juice, it used to work fine! I do not know what I have changed in my wicking technique, but it used to do a whole tank, no dry hits.

Am I not sucking it hard enough or something? Really not sure whats going on here.

I did the same swapping from my orchid at 35 watts to my Kanger subtank mini, which likes around 22 watts...

My orchid is set up with 2 microcoils, I only got it the other day, Monday to be exact. Wicking that thing is an art form, but Bondo sent me a package from the US to the UK, with loads of juices and an orchid, with the original juice holder/body, one he had made, and one for me to make out of parts for the tank.

I do like it, and I took it out with no leaks, BUT I just am worried about it going on its side and soaking my jacket pocket or something.

That thing likes 14-18 watts though, dual coil. I think that is pretty amazing, but the flavour is RDA like, its a great tank.

Like my lemo was, until this bloomin started to happen lol.

The Lemo 2 is a finicky bitch when it comes to wicking. I used to use my standard Kayfun type wicking technique on my RTA's, now with the Lemo 2 I've had to tweak the method and use this method:

Turns out, in a lot of tanks less is more. The lemo Is NOT one of them. I used a lot more wick, and I have gone through half a tank without a dry hit.
