Lemo

[Arrowmunda]

Just buying a lemo and as this will be my first rebuildable I was wondering if there was a guide on here?

I've had a look at many many YouTube videos and so far I'm looking at getting 0.3mm kanthal and 0.4mm kanthal for standard and micro coils if that's correct?

Some of this stuff: www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/epages/yxve46fvrnud.sf/sec0a8a901435/?ObjectID=2431498

And a coil jig: www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/Microcoil-Jig

I've got pliers, going to get some mini screwdrivers from the pound shop in the morning and I have something to test the ohms.

Anything I've missed? Is the kanthal size correct? I was trying to get everything all from the same vendor.

sorry for all the questions, I've done some research but wanted to run it by you guys here first.

As always thanks for any help in advance!

Make sure you have an ongoing Vape to hand BEFORE you start rebuilding!!! I have a Lemo Drop and have found I need to use more Cotton in my Bui;d than I do on a Kayfunalike and I'm experimenting with pre-soaking my wicks BEFORE I roll them. I have been getting random Dry Hits on my Drop, so I need to change my builds and am experimenting at the moment.

Yeah I've got a back up, looking forward to giving it a try this weekend even though it's probably going to be frustrating at first!

Don't go daft with the build and use this

www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp

to work out the number wraps and coil size etc.

They come ready built with a coil installed, all mine came with a coil of 1.0ohm - 1.2ohm already on the deck.
I found mine to be pretty forgiving with wicking.
Here's what i do with mine.

I'm using Muji pads.
I cut a strip around the same width as the coil, i don't peel any layers off.
You want it to fill the inside of the coil but not tightly, the cotton will expand once it's wet remember so if it's tight when dry it's going to be even tighter when wet and that could constrict the flow of juice to the coil.
When i have my cotton fed through i pull the ends together and put the bottom half of the chimney section over and screw it onto the deck.
I trim the ends 2mm to 3mm above the chimney piece.
Then i just push each side down with a screwdriver so it's sitting on the deck, you don't want it jammed down hard and blocking the juice channels.
Then what i do is use an unbent paper clip or a piece of wire and just run it round between the wall of the chimney and the cotton to make sure the cotton isn't tight against the wall and let the juice flow in easier.
Then just prime the cotton and coil with some juice, assemble the rest of the tank, fill her up and good to go.

I'm sure other people have their own methods but this works well for me i don't get any leaks,gurgling or dry hits.

Got the lemo, only just re wicked it for now which was easy enough, my ADV which is Mrs lords Druide tastes awful in it though (tastes like curry) although I do love a good curry but vaping it - not so much!

No idea why, it's fine in my aerotank using the same wick, tried adjusting the watts with no luck, oh well just have to find a few juices that do work well in it.

My first attempt came out at 2 . 4 ohms lol, I've got a few hours free today so going to practice, practice, practice.

Wasn't aiming for anything in particular with the first go but I would like to get between 1 and 1.4 if that's possible for me

5 or 6 warps around a 2.5mm rod of 28agw kanthal should be fine.
I would recommend getting a set of clone kuro coilers from FT for making micro coils.
No need to faff about torching the wire or compressing the coil etc they just come off perfect every time for me.

Was gonna get some kuro koilers but wasn't sure how they worked so left it with a coil jig from cloud9, but now I've looked on YouTube I'm thinking of ordering some from eBay - set of 3 for 10.49 delivered or 4.49 delivered for 1
