Lemo 2 on a mech

[Pauly Walnuts]

I just got my lemo2 and its intended use is to be my take everywhere tank. Since I baby my sig150, the lemo will be on a mechanical mod.

I've used an orchid on my mech for a long time. I run dual26ga nichrome at around .3 ohms. I'm thinking about trying the same build in the lemo.
Right now, I'm using a 22 ga 3mm 4 wrap coil and it works alright. It runs .25 ohm and draws enough power to work well, but its not the best and I assume there is a better option.

If any of you have better ideas, I'm all ears.

I'm using a juice in my Lemo 2 with a 0.52 Ohm build, that was tasting awesome in a RDA with a 0.3 Ohm build. However, in the Lemo 2 it's flavor was muted a lot, on my mech mod. So, I put it on my Hana mod and dialed down to 15W and it was tasting as good as it does in my RDA.

If it were me, I would hop on an ohm calculator and see how many ohms you need to get to that wattage, and if you are close between 3.8 and 4.2 volts.

Im trying a different build right now, Im using dual 26ga nichrome, 2.4mm, 5wraps, .33ohms. Its working fine, but when using a mech, the build needs to draw enough power to vape properly. Regulated mods make life easy and also give clues to how builds will function in certain ranges of power.

Well, I think I just found my winner.
26ga nichrome parallel, 2.4mm, 5wraps (10strands across) and coming in at .31ohm. It has short legs, since its secured under the screw heads.
I have it wicked with koga cotton and running my home brew juice at 50/50.

So 26ga nichrome has been in my lemo2 for that last few days. Good flavor and vapor, I was really happy with it.
I just popped in a 22ga, 3mm spaced coil with 4wraps and reading .31ohm. It kicks the shit out of the parallel 26ga build.

I actually saw a youtube video that said the Lemo 2 likes spaced coils better. I will be finding out soon myself.

Is that 22ga also nichrome?

 

[Pauly Walnuts]

At that time it was 4 wraps of 22ga kanthal and If I remember correctly .31ohms.
Im now using 22ga nichrome80 with 5 wraps .33ohms.
Im securing around the tops of the screws, not the lower, side holes.

What's the difference in securing under the screws as opposed to the normal way?

 

[Haadkoe]

Less likely for the screws to cut the wire when wrapping around the heads.

And thanks for the reply Pauly.

Less ohms.

It certainly seems to. I wasn't impressed with my lemos performance until I spaced the coils.
It gives more available juice for the coil to use
