This Lemo 2 is really underrated though. I am really enjoying this tank.I think a lot of people kind of let this one slip by them but its a really good design.
I know several that love the Lemo 2 , I had one briefly but gave it away.I didnāt have any problems with it , I just liked the Boreas and Aromamizer a little more.
The only time I have problem with leaking on the Boreas is when I lay it on itās side for an extended time.
I am glad you are enjoying the Boreas!
We are getting to know each other lol
I canāt believe I just now saw this post Whiterose0818. I donāt recall on which thread but I said the same, SAME thing you did about the SMOK RDTA and the G4. Those were my last tank purchases, and they are really great. The SMOK G4 gives off so much flavor that I thought something was wrong with my juice mix, but noā¦ Iām diluting my juice in that tank because the flavor is so strong. As for the RDTA by SMOKā¦ I really love it and Iām running 3 of them. Juice flowā¦ well itās okay. I really donāt need it. The deck size is larger than 22mm Aromamizers (being 24 mm), and I like that because I can easily fit Clapton coils in there. Noā¦ you are not the only one enjoying these SMOK tanks. They are my favorites!
same with me I allways flip unside down drain deck be4 i open the top and then after i fill it be4 i put top back on i open first airhole 1/16 and then screw on flip open it and fire it right away and vape and never leaks
Love the Supreme, thank you.
Hey dude, tell me. Do you still feel this way about the Boreas?
So this morning I decided to do some cleaning, coiling, wicking, and in the case of my Boreas tanks, rebuilding. Iāve had issues with them for a few months with leaking. My suspicion is the o-rings on this piece -

I canāt confirm thatās the only one with a problem because I replaced those two along with the one on the deck. Stopped the leaks. Ever since I got 2 of these RTAs theyāve been probably my favorite for when Iām out and about. That generous juice capacity makes it a good traveler. However, if you have one that leaks it doesnāt matter how good the vape, youāll leave it sitting.
So while Iām sure somewhere on ELR thereās a post or link, Iām too lazy to spend the next 45 minutes searching for it so I askā¦does anyone know a good place to get replacement o-ring sets for this thing?
Oh and another thing. I canāt explain it but I can put the exact same build in any other 2 post Velocity style RTA I own, but neither clouds or flavor are as good. Itās really amazing how wonderful the vape is off the Boreas.
The Boreas is still the only tank I use. My only issue is it does leak occasionally when I over fill it. Besides that itās still my top pick. Iāve tried 2 or 3 tanks since this purchase, but none were better for my style of vaping.
I did find when building with too little wicking material it would leak. I now wick it very snuggly and cut it just below the base of tank at a slight angle. This has resolved any leaking issue when I carry the tank with me or lay it on itās side.
As for where to find more O-rings, I donāt know.
I found this over on ECF when I was looking for replacement o-rings for my Boreas. I havenāt seen any replacement ākitsā for the Boreas.

I was gonna order from McMaster-Carr but could never find out exactly what material I needed.
Edit: Just messaged Subtank Supply and they have a kit of the o-rings and glass for the Boreas for $7 (not listed on the site that I could find). They sent me a PayPal invoice so I should have a set in a week or soā¦ hoping they are correct
It certainly is an awesome tank. If youāll remember, not long before I got my first Boreas I had purchased a TFV4. And before thatā¦I was on the Delta II and Subtank Mini with the RBA decks. So with such limited experience with RTAs I had to keep going after the Boreas. I did find a few really good ones, but nothing that really replaced it in terms of how it satisfies all the things I like. Some might have a better feature here and there, but nothing that could replace it. The Pharaoh RTA could have unseated it, but adding the extension to make it hold 6ml of juice also makes it weigh like 30% more than the Boreas. So yeah, Iām right there with you man.
Thanks, Iāll check that out. I bought 2 of these not long after they first came out and they came with enough spare o-rings to rebuild that one section a couple of times. But it would be nice to have spares. I can see using these for a lot longer too - got both black and thereās not a scratch or blemish anywhere after just about a year. So to me it would be worth having several spares.
Dude just messaged me that he canāt find the kits he thought they hadā¦ figures
Eciggity still has the black Boreas for $16.99
3fvape had o ring kitsā¦Just a container with a bunch of o rings in different sizes. Not sure if they still have that or if it would work for you.
Thanks dude. I checked it out and they had this - also in red:
Iāll pick it up and Iām sure it will have just what I need. I appreciate you!
Donāt get that kit, the orings are really thick, pretty much useless.Sure, now they list the thickness, 1.9 and 2.4mm thick orings, I wish it was listed when I bought the pack.
