Why? Give me reasons, man... opinions are subjective...

The Aqua V1 is a PITA. The Fogger before V4 were hard to build. The GG RTAs are simply STUPID with the need for nr-r-nr wires... the Lemo 2 is better than all of those.



My wife won't vape anything but a Lemo 2...she has 3 of them now. Like the original Lemo, the flavor is excellent with a decent build in it. In fact, the Lemo/Lemo 2 have managed to hold their own flavor-wise against any of my latest outbreaks of shinyitis....and above all, I'm pretty damn picky about flavor production.

I think it's biggest flaw is that they gave it to more airflow then this particular style of tank can use and still wick effectively. IMO, wide open, there isn't enough vacuum being created to effectively draw thicker liquids. As my wife vapes, (an airy MTL, using 50/50 liquids), it performs beautifully.

The chimney size isn't a concern. It's interchangeable with the OG Lemo which is also known for it's excellent flavor. I believe the larger ID of the chimney top was a structural consideration. The top cap screws to the chimney top as a means to secure the glass tube.

My lemo 2 gets no love. It's airy, but flavor is non existent. If you want to Chuck clouds with a tank, the lemo can, but you'll only taste about 50% or less of the flavor in the juice. Now, that might be my fault. I never tried dual Coils. I never saw a need for duals. The only two dual coil tanks I've used have been a fogger v4 and aqua (v1?). Both were ok for their respective times, but would feel choked off based on today's open draw standards imho.

I drilled out the post in my k4 and 2 of the air inlets in the stem. It helped some but it's still a MTL atty. My favorite go to atty has to be my Taifun gt2. I slotted out the air intakes, while I'm sure it had to improved air "some", it was barely noticeable to me compared to the stock 5 holes (or 6 holes whatever they were).

I was considering the crown by u well, the tfv4, and possibly even the subtank mini. BUT I'm a rebuildable guy, not a coil guy. I generally rewick (at least) or rebuild the whole thing after 2 no more than 3 tanks. The juices I vape are gunkers, so can't really push them much farther because of the crud build up on the Coils. And now since I've embraced temp control in a love/hate relationship rewicking means recoiling too since the wire is so soft.

I hate to get the crown, tfv4, subtank, etc and end up as disappointed in any of them as I was with the lemo 2.

I saw it mentioned to try the lemo 2 with dual Coils, I can do that and see if that helps.

Thanks for all the chatter in here, please continue... I am reading and liking all your posts! Thanks again!
I too have been disappointed with the lemo 2. I have problems with leaking/condensation on top of the mod. Already replaced all orings to no avail. When I got my vs200 I tried out the crown tank and absolutely love it. I too had doubts about the stock coils but once I tried it is can't go back to another tank. It doesn't work so well on my vs dna 40 but on the 200 @ 70+ watts - 500 watts the vape is warm and flavorful. The coil is lasting me 2-3 weeks and if you shop around you can find it pretty cheap. I'm a rebuilder but man this is just too easy for a great vape imo.

Yup crown all the way bud. Glad the semovar is in good hands. Wow those batteries are working well.

I know someone with a zephyrus and they complain how hard it is to build. I'm guessing the goliath is similar? I was considering the tfv4 but read it's 24.5mm, that will hang over too much on my Vaporflask dna200. I wonder if I can find the crown locally? Hmm....
If you can wait a bit try here https://www.fasttech.com/products/3576700

The zephyrus and Goliath build decks are different. Zephyrus is smaller, and 4 post, and the Goliath is two post, making it easier for centered TC builds.

Zephyrus isn't hard to build on if you use 2.5mm ID coils or smaller.

Totally different deck on the Goliath V2, two post instead of center post often pain in the buttocks deck on the Zephyrus.

LOL, I was about to ask if anyone knew of a good (cheap) place to order a crown. Locally it's $40. Saw vaperoyalty has the black one for $34+shipping. Also saw them on flea Bay for $28/$32 (silver/black) but not sure if those would be authentic or not.

Are the heads hard to rebuild?
I seem to remember the Coils being stainless steel right? Anyone know what kind of SS wire? Is that available anywhere? I think I remember people saying beading wire from Michaels?

Anyone here happen to have a ubertoot clone? Know what the airflow is like on that?

Not sure as it does not come with a rba deck. Yes the regular coils are ss and to coil is ni200.

I have both versions of the Ubertoot clone. The v1 has more airflow and can be lung hit. The v2 has better machining, but is m2l or restricted lung.
