It has to - you can't keep suffering with those worn out kayfun screws
This is kinda tenuously related, more of a philosophical thing.
It's very easy to get whisked away in a second of pack mentality, and try and ram some idea, down peoples throats (I.E. this mod/RDA/RTA/whatever is the be all and end all of vaping, full stop... the end). It's human, so totally excusable.
The thing to keep in mind, is that vaping like just about everything else in life, is very grey. Everyones perceptions are different, what works for one person, will drive another to a heart condition.
I know for myself, in a lot of cases, what works for the masses, simply doesn't for me.
With those facts in mind, I never fully retire anything. If i try it and hate it, it'll get cleaned and sit on a shelf, and then one day when I'm bored, I'll go exploring, to see if theres some lost treasure, that luck (and hopefully new found experience) can help me unlock.
Even if there were people I could sell the stuff I'm not fond of to up here. I'm not sure I would actually sell them. For that very reason, I might be sitting on the next device to deliver me vape nirvana, and simply not have the skill or mindset to tap its potential.
That all said, I'm really keen to get my hands on my Lemo, when it eventually arrives at the vape shop.

Im so glad you like it. There is no better vape for me at this point in time.After Hi Ho @Silver's exercise with the Lemo I decided to try again with mine... it was clean and ready to go into storage like so many other devices that I thought were over hyped. This time I wicked it with much shorter Rayon wicks like in the examples shown in this thread...
Oh I remembered what I hated about this device in the first place... the stupid fill hole that can't be filled by a normal plastic bottle with the little nipple on... you simply have to use a syringe! So after getting juice everywhere and wasting half of it I was ready to roll again!
I have to say the flavour is pretty damn good! The cloud production is also pretty good... thank you @Silver for coming out and saying this was a kak tank (because I also thought so but was too scared to say it because there are a lot of fans out there) and then the fans put us right... this is a pretty good tank it has to be said!
1,4Ω single coil with a short rayon wick and Tropical Ice... really nice... actually it's about 700% better than when I tried it the first time.
Thanks you Lemo fans!
I'm lung hitting it... time to fiddle with the air flow and see if it performs as a mouth to lung device!
@Rob Fisher From what i've watched and read, i think it might be a bit fiddly as a mouth to lung, something about the airlow adjustment being too loose.
@n0ugh7_zw you are 100% on the money... the screw is too tight to close the airflow and going the other way the screw becomes too loose!
OK so it's official... the Lemo is a lung hitting device...
I believe it can work but this tank performs the best with lung hits.I'm lung hitting it... time to fiddle with the air flow and see if it performs as a mouth to lung device!
But to be fair to the device it's still does a pretty good job as a vaping device and I will persevere with it...
@Rob Fisher its what drew me to the Lemo, Despite being a cigarette smoker, I lung hit almost exclusively.
Right now for me...
1. REO with Cyclone <- Mouth to Lung
2. Atlantis on Mech Mod with diluted juice <- Lung
3. Lemo with Tropical Ice <- Lung
Not sure where the Sub Tank fits in because I'm not really winning with it... maybe it's time to convert it to a rebuildable.

@Freedom, I'm thinking messy coils will be the winners on the Lemo.
I frequently close the lemo up to about 1-3 full turns from fully closed and find it great for mouth-to-lung that way
But it really shines as a lung hitter
I am currently running a spaced out coil @ 2mm ID and it is indeed quite awesome...had a para coil in there previously and it was hot and flavourful, but a bit heavy for me. Somebody (I forget who
) is also running a nice vertical coil in it that apparently it is very nice on flavour. This one does give some options for building - unlike the kayfun, where most of these builds are just too frustrating to even attempt
I think for tanks, the spaced coils are going to be among the best performers, the space increases the surface area of the coil, whilst also allowing for less restrictive wicking.
I'm definitely starting to agree with this view
But I still like the compressed coils - they just look so much nicer
The stock coil it comes with is actually spaced out, so there's a hint right there

@free3dom - I just cannot understand why that stock coil and wick setup that came with the Lemo tasted so terrible.
It was awful. Yet that coil looked so perfect - and the cotton in there was so puffy and looked really amazing. At least mine did. Maybe there was some remnants of manufacturing oil in mine... Just boggles my mind how it could taste so bad. I almost threw up the first time - and I was using the exact same juice.
I think it was the type of wire maybe...that wire took forever to heat up and the taste was just "wrong" - not sure how it was wrong, but just off. I did however immediately replace the cotton before using, so that might be what your extreme bad taste was from. I don't trust cotton that comes with a device - no idea what it has been in contact with
I did retry the stock coil on a friends' Lemo when he got it (again with my own organic cotton) and at higher power levels (25W+) it was a lot better in ramp time, but the taste was a bit harsh. Maybe the wire just needs some dry burning - it could be coated or something.
bleach or detergent of some kind in the cotton? Also being done in China, theres a very high probability that it was coiled with nichrome, which can taste very different to kanthal.
I could be totally wrong. But I think nichrome is one of those wires, where when you dry fire it, it gets a protective coating on it, kind like how kanthal does. and i think the fact that it couldn't achieve the temperatures needed for that to happen, may have contributed to the bad taste. will test mine out when it comes.

That wire was definitely not kanthal...so probably Nichrome.
I'd lick one of the cotton balls, but I'm too much of a wuss
cotton tongue, sounds really bad.
Ok, I have just hit a new problem with my Lemo
I am near the end of a tank and when I picked it up today to take a toot or two, I realised that there was some stickiness around the airholes. Oh no, I saw some juice had leaked out of one or two of the airholes. It wasn't a major leak, but I had to wipe it all down and I am glad no juice got on the mod.
I really don't like juice splotches getting on my hands because then it makes my computer keyboard sticky and I really don't like that.
Do the Lemo experts think this could be a problem with my wicking (my original wick that is producing random dry hits on the first toot) or do you think it has to do with tooting it at too low a level of juice? I can see a little bit of juice above the base level. Or do you think there is another problem?
