The Lemo RTA

@Silver unfortunately I haven't gotten around to getting a Drop version, but I'm going to assume that the trade-off between the two is basically larger tank and cooler vape (on the standard) vs slightly improved flavour and a slightly warmer vape (on the drop) due to the shorter chimney. Of course I can't say this 100%, but it is what logic suggests :)

As for mouth to lung, the airflow (on both) can be closed of almost completely (basically like a kayfun draw) so it works just great that way - I've also found that with the airflow open I can cover two of the four airholes (with my fingers) to temporarily get a tighter draw :)

All-in-all I really think it comes down to tank size in regards to the choice between these two. For me the convenience of a 5ml tank is what makes the RTA shine - for flavour a RDA would still be better I suppose, at the cost of convenience. But maybe the Drop vesion is a happy medium.

I'm sorry this is a non-answer actually, I'd definitely need to try the Drop version to compare, before I could say for sure :D

Bottom line, I think you'd probably be happy with either as is evidenced by my enthusiasm for the standard version and @eviltoy's love for the drop - i.e. this tank, no matter it's size does not seem to dissapoint :rock:
 
Many thanks @free3dom. Your post has helped me a lot and I appreciate it.

I liked your logic about cooler and warmer, which I never thought about. I prefer cooler for the fruity mentholated juices.

Seeing that I primarily want it for a mindless vape I think your post has helped me to put more weight on the larger tank size. And clearly you are not disappointed with the flavour.

Thanks very much

As long as it is not another midnight build:rolleyes:
 
Ok, so the Lemo drop is officially the best tank I have ever used! This thing kicks serious Kayfun but! And I had an original Kayfun Lite in the day. No leaking, no gurgling, no pressure issues, no dry hits. This thing is really amazing!

Indeed, the flavour is absolutely fantastic on the standard and I haven't once thought "I wish it had better flavour". Even though I can only assume it's even better on the Drop, it's more than good enough for me as is :)

I too prefer a slighly cooler vape. I might be imagining it, but on the Lemo vs the Kayfun the vape is noticably cooler.

Lol @Andre, you guys stayed up all night with me. I remember that clearly. Such amazing support from you guys!
Was a magical moment building my first sub ohm coil on the Kayfun with Bowdens Mate
Lol what a night that was

I think this will be way more civilised at normal hours ;-)

This is great news @TylerD, thanks!
 
The build on this thing is a bit tricky with the holes in the posts but it's not a nightmare either. Whirling dirvish on this thing is heavenly the spices really come through nicely

Thanks for this. I was tossing up which to get in future, but I really don't like a warm vape, so I might need to go for the standard.

I actually prefer 2-3ml tanks so I don't have to commit to a flavour.

I don't have commitment issues :--P:rofl:

But seriously, I like the larger tanks as I don't have to fill it up all the way and the space is there when I want it (going out for a long time).

I do however think both versions have their own pros and cons...which is why I'll definitely be getting a Drop version too :D

Ye this makes sense. And I am vaping more and juices that I really like, so I need to switch less.

In my first few months, I would want to change halfway through a MPT3 tank.

Thanks for all the advice @free3dom
Your comments are spot on for me
 
seriously considering this for my Evic as it hybrids on it What are the benenenfits of hybrid , is it purely size or does VV/VW also improve ?

You are very welcome, I'm glad to share just how much I am enjoying this little gem :D

From what I've seen in videos, the only thing it means is that it sits 100% flush on the Evic and it does not require the 510 connection - so it looks better and it fits more securely on the device :)

Because of this I'm actually considering getting an Evic S for my Lemo :rock:
 
Ok so question , who has the black version Lemo ? :)
 
Along with a few other goodies my Lemo arrived today!

Just a tip... rip out the coil and wick and redo your own... I was lazy and tried the installed wick and coil and mixed with Chinese Pubs the taste and vape was horrendous!

It's a good looking atty and the thing that impresses me most is there is no leaking at all so this puts it way ahead of any and all Kayfun and Russian clones!

The drip tip is wobbly and that's a pet hate of mine that that's a big black mark! But you can replace it with one of your own and it won't wobble.

Trying to do the coil like they have it was not easy so I just used the screws rather than the holes to secure my 1,3 Ohm 10 Wrap 28g coil. Pretty good vape.... again the more I vape on it the more I like it. The negative for me is to change wicks you need to empty the tank just like the Kayfun and Russians but I do think the design is better and again I have to say no leaking and that is a biggie for me!

Filling wasn't difficult but using a syringe to fill it works better... and I had a syringe handy because I had to suck out the juice to clean it and put in a new coil. :)

At the end of the day if you want to get into building coils etc this is a great device to start on!

I had the opposite...my drip tip was, and still is, almost too tight - I have to rotate it to get it out. From the image it looks like you have the Drop version (and I've got the standard), so maybe the drop comes with a different drip tip - would be good if other Drop users could confirm this.

Thanks for sharing your findings Rob - much appreciated.
Avril probably felt a bit unloved with all the attention given to the other devices ;-)

She did indeed... but she is back in my paw and the metal is warm! ;-)
 
I received my Lemo yesterday from @VapeGrrl @JakesSA (you guys are the best online store in my books :rock:)
Back to the Lemo,i am very very very impressed with it as @Rob Fisher explained remove that stupid prebuilt coil it comes with and build your own.

Mine arrived today - my first RTA. I bought a Smok Xpro to go with it, but didn't know if it would fit the Xpro's dished connection until it arrived. It does, but only just - once tightened there is no visible gap around the perimeter of the tank base (Whew!)

As I don't yet have any resistance wire I used the pre-made coil, but replaced the wick with some sterile cotton. The coil measured 1.1Ω so I set the VW at 12.5W for around 3.7V. After a complete strip down, clean and reassemble, I half-filled it with VM Blueberry/Menthol and gave it a try. The amazing flavour was the first impression. Still experimenting with wattage/air flow, but I've closed it up quite a bit and am currently using 14W.

This tank ticked all the right boxes for me - glass, decent capacity, simple build and no leaks. I like the fact that it's not a 'clone' too. Also looks good on the Xpro :cool:

I also received mine today. I must agree with you, it is one fantastic RTA. Much better than the kayfun IMO.
Only thing I didn't like was that premade coil. Tried it for a second then ripped it out and built another in it.
 
Hmmmmm I want the lemo drop love a good warm Vape.

Yeah, that pre-made coil is a beauty...but I wonder if they made it out of stainless steel because it just took forever to heat up o_O

I'm still amazed at just how easily it coils though (especially compared to the kayfun) :happy:
