igo-w coil/wick build for flavour?

[xxxtn12]

Hello,
I got my first mech mod, a clone astro and igo-w. Leaning towards flavour vs cloudchasing

I am just so confused with traditional wrap, compressed wrap, nano coil, micro coil, dragon coil, dual coil quad coil cotton, silica eckowool etc etc

any recomendation for a build with igo-w that has worked for you????

oh.. i got one of the holes drilled bigger

Thanks a lot!!!!

If your looking for flavor the best bet is for you to make a dual micro coil with about a 1.0-1.4 ohm and with cotton wick, that combination will give you the best flavor.

Pretty much everything else is meant for cloud chasing. Hope this helped!

Depends on the juice I think, some will work better under intense heat, others not at all.
Wicking depends on your preference really, but I personally will only use cotton, I think it provides the cleanest flavor.
For coils, same thing, its very subjective, but majority consensus will likely point you toward a micro coil.

This used to be my basic build for my igo-w:

Also, forgot to add, start small on drilling out the airholes on your igo-w. If you are a lung inhaler, then wont really matter much, but for mouth to lung hits, be careful not to go too wide.

Thanks for the reply!
I will try cotton and do dual micro coil.
followup question... what gauge wire and how many wraps?

30 ga Kanthal is the most popular and the number of wraps needed to get to 2 to 2.6 ohms on each coil when checked on a multimeter (you do have a multimeter right?)

Dual coil builds need to be built at twice the ohms of single coil and need to be built as close to identical as possible (two coils in parallel cut the resistance of each coil in half ie: two 2.6 ohm coils will read as 1.3 ohms) if you build 1 coil at 2 ohms and 1 coil at 2.4 ohms the smaller ohms will fire and burn eliquid before the larger ohm coil ever fires.

Be safe and be careful not to go to low on your resistance until you know what your batteries can handle

hope this helps

nice looking coils . good info on the dual coil . i was wondering how that works as i only have a single coil setup as of now

 

[buddy77]

so if i build a 2 coil rig and i want it to be 2 ohms , i would need to build 2 4ohm coils ?

 

[buddy77]

can one of you guys pm me and fill me in once you read this question i posted . please thank you

Exactly, and you will need to wrap identical coils as Dakota Jim described.

Get a higher PG e-liquid.... that will help as well

Thats my exact setup.. Magneto with Igo-w lol

so to summarize for the igo-w flavour set up would be
1. cotton
2. dual coil 1-1.4 ohms (setting up each coil for 2-2.6 ohms)
3. higher pg ejuice

that about right?

IMHO, you don't need higher PG for more flavor; it really depends on the quality of your e-juice. For now, just stick to whatever juice you have until you get your device setup and working good.

Yeah the best way to maximize your flavor is to have the correct setup. Then from there you can get better juices and it will be a whole new level, takes some practice but you will get there!

Where does one get these better juices? I've been getting from Mt. Baker Vapor and I'm getting what I'm paying for I think.

 

[TheVapingNinja]

great answers in this thread

 

[iamzg]

Yeah great thread so far. Try Ahlusion, Suicide Bunny, Pink Spot Vapors, etc etc etc. There's a ton of reviews on the e-liquid forum that can steer you in the right direction, but it's really the shotgun effect. Order it, try it, love or hate it.

Don't throw any juice away as they change when they steep! Some stuff I liked my first few weeks I hate now and some stuff that made me ill I vape every day. I went 1/16th on my igo, seems to be adequate air flow for any ohm build

I found that less nic has given me better flavor too

i am still in search for the right build that gives me the flavour im looking for

tried...
26g kanthal wire 4 wraps in ekowool, single and dual
26g kanthal from micro coil 6-9 wraps on 22g needle in cotton
26g kanthal 6 wraps on a small screwdriver, wicked with cottong through it.

I think i just suck at coild building lol
