    I've had my igo-L for sometime but hadn't really put it to use until now that I received my istick 30. I built a .6 coil then changed it to 1.0.

    The igo-L runs a little warm, but I'm not overly concerned with the tight airflow since I do mouth to lung; nor am I concerned with sub ohm or dual coil since I prefer battery life over clouds.

    I want to upgrade to an easier building deck and spend no more than $15-20.

    Any obvious suggestions would be appreciated.

    The Origen v2 or v3 would be my choice. I have the v2 (v3 on order) and I love the juice capacity and flavor of the RDA. It is great whether you decide to run single or dual coils, vertical or horizontal builds.
    If you decide that is not the one for you, check out fasttech to see the various types of RDA's that match your price point. The have ratings, reviews, and pictures of all the units so you can decide for yourself what looks easy to build on.
    Good luck!

    Derringer clone by Tobeco is $7.99 at VapeNW. Can be run single or dual and has great flavor.

    Check how much the shipping runs first.. Thats an AWESOME price but Vapor Range has em for $10.50 and shipping is free anywhere in the US. I have the Tobeco and its since been replaced but its still a pretty rad flavorful and vaporful as hell tiny atty.. Ive seen people say the do the mouth to lung vape with it but that never worked for me even with only part of one airhole open. It pretty much made me go full lung hitting and thats all I do now ever since I got it. I havent touched my formerly beloved 3 Kayfun 4s in a month now. You might become a convert too be careful.. ;)

    Shipping is $5 so its a bit cheaper from the site you mentioned. Of course the Angelcigs Samurai Bonsai is nice too and isn't much more expensive.

    True that. I think I paid a total of like $14 or so for the Bonsai with shipping, and $3 of that was also a drip tip I ordered with it.

    I got my Freakshow Mini RDA on sale for $18! It is $23 at most places, which is just about in your budget. The airflow is pretty immense. I really like mine though!

    I've seen and heard a lot about that one. I'll check it out.

    I'm guessing Wotofo is the maker (also maker of The Troll?). Madvapes has them for 21.99.

    Yup, Wotofo! I was really impressed with this atty straight out of the box. I did not spot any machine oil at all! I still gave it a rinse in the sink, but it was basically ready to vape upon arrival. My one gripe is the Orings that hold the top cap on were suuuuper tight the first time I tried to pull off it off. They have been fine ever since, but that first time was a ..... lol.

    Nice. Are you setting it up or doing anything special in regards to the leaking being reported? Draws tight if need be?

    Of course, by now, I'm getting a crash-course on all these attys. lol.

    Basically, I use plenty of cotton. I also decided to use twisted wire for my coils to reduce the spit back! I can fit about 18 drops into the build pictured below without worrying about leaking. PS, do not copy this build! Use 26 gauge rather than 24 gauge lol.

    I just got an Igo W+ for $12 I thought that was cheap I guess there really simple but still i'm amazed you can get them so RTD so cheap it really makes some Authentic look over priced price gougers. Igo W+ now has nice big 2m holes on both sides and has a seriously simple build platform if thats what your after but i have not received mine yets so i cant comment on the vapour! I would not be suprised if some of these clones are far superior to the Igo L and Igo W+.

    I was looking at the W, but with the 2 holes, I suppose I would be forced to build dual coils. I guess that wouldn't be a deal breaker if I could do it and still be above one ohm.

    Basically, I use plenty of cotton. I also decided to use twisted wire for my coils to reduce the spit back! I can fit about 18 drops into the build pictured below without worrying about leaking.

    Thanks for the pic DB.
