Hi Guys,

I got a lemo and bought some silica wick.

Has anyone tried using silica wick on the Lemo and what type on coild do you run ?
 
ive got the eleaf alpha. very similar to the lemo. tried to use silica and changed back over to cotton.

on single horizontal macro coils (2mm dia) using 2mm silica i found it a bit rigid and didnt want to stay positioned on the deck properly. would keep lifting up and away from the deck. DRY HIT CITY !!!

i did get it right after a few attempts but didnt notice a considerable change compared to cotton. also couldnt do chimney coils easily. wraping around the coil it would unravel on its own.

after changing back to cotton i found all of my wicking problems went away.

some people complain that they can get a cotton taste and can only use silica so i guess its all personal preference.
 
i've dabbled with silica.... cotton is way more forgiving.
 
Can I use any cotton or ust it be organic

You can, but it is risky. You have no idea which pesticides and other nasty chemicals were used in producing the cotton.
You can boil normal cotton as a way to clean it up some, but even then it's sketchy.

It is highly advised to get some organic to be safe. And then boil that too, to be extra safe. Or get some rayon and just use it :D
 
You can get organic cotton from any dischem. Personally I prefer to use the cotton balls and then boil and rinse them out before leaving to dry on a paper towel.

Rayon and Japanese cotton are the preferred option. Huge improvement over organic cotton

I bought botton balls just says 100% pure cotton yesterday and they vape ok, the day before I tried normal cotton and got a frangrant taste. Do you guys know where I can find a write up on how to make a rayon wick.
 
Ignore the last comment, just saw you get rayon cotton wool, any idea where I can purchase these
 
Rayon is a cellulose fibre made from wood pulp. There are a few vendors that sell them.

The wicks are made the same as you do with regular cotton
 
I have the lemo. i tried a bit of silica just as a test and the organic cotton is way more forgiving as a wick i find it also soaks the liquid in better.
 
First lemo build. Not the prettiest coil but I just wanted to get going. Didn't even wait to wash out or check the goodies that came with it.

Oh the build is 28g kanthal, 7 wraps, 1.7 ohms.

Vaping like a champ, now it can't see anything in the study

That'll do nicely :rock:
Enjoy the clouds :D
 
I don't know if it's the awesome chip in the iStick or if the Lemo is just that good, but damn this combo hits hard. Vaping all day at 9W, even 12mg is making me sweat, so far I've managed only about 3ml of juice. This thing chucks vapour and flavour, and it's saving me some juice :)

The iStick + Lemo is indeed a pretty amazing pair :D
Pop some HH in there and experience it on the next level, just beware the silver monster :giggle:
 
Hahaha @BumbleBee I don't usually use 12mg, after a year of vaping I've tapered down by nic considerably. But yes this thing does hit hard. I want to try a store bought juice and compare the flavour production coz right now I'm vaping DIY juice so can't comment on flavour production but can definitely attest to the cloud production

On my other devices 12mg just doesn't cut it, I'm on 18mg ;)
