Is yours different from the images on their site? I got mine today from MVS, and it doesn't have the "tapered" top like every image I've seen of the IGO-L. It came in the same box I've seen in videos, but mine has a rounded top and no taper at all.

The one I got from myvaporstore is the slanted top. Same as the pictures. Got it about a month ago.

I have the rounded type: the caps are very snug, and they have black o-rings. I believe that's the newer version, and that the older version is less snug, with red o-rings.

In any event, I expect they both work very well. :)

I suspect you're correct. FunkyVapes did a review and his had the slanted cap and orange/red o-rings with the very loose cap. He said he was told there was a revised version coming that uses black o-rings and a tighter-fitting cap. Mine has the black o-rings and the cap is *very* tight. I do wonder though if this is a new version why they moved the negative post closer to the positive. And the cap is almost too tight, but it doesn't need to be taken off very often anyway.

Okay, I'll be combing the classies until vendors get in stock, Ima also buy that VISION ETERNITY. Just like it for some reason.
Thanks for the input folks.
I wouldn't bother with the Eternity. It's far too fragile. It's a great performer no doubt, but it's just made too cheaply. And the clip system they have going there really sucks. It would have been infinitely better (and more durable) if they would have just used screws. I have 2, one broken, one on its way out. Both performed great, but after a number of rebuilds, even using the recommended 36 gauge (which results in way higher resistance than I normally run), the posts just get too wobbly. And the post with the rubber grommet will start to leak after a few rebuilds as a result.

Which really sucks, because I loved the damn thing if it weren't so cheaply made. $60 down the drain.

It depends on how much silica you use. If you pack the bottom cup pretty well with silica, it'll hold more drops. If you use the silica that comes with it, it will do about 8-10 drops before becoming gurgly. More silica increases that to 15+ drops.

I haven't used it personally, but I've read it can hold 15-20 drops depending on how much wick you put in there. I can squeeze about 15-20 in my rda on an initial fill when I have plenty of wick, about 10 or so on a refill. The more wick you cram in there, the more capacity you get.

Great i think i ended up buyimg the older version last night from cloudsofvapor.com for $17.99. They have both versions on there website but i ended up buying this one.

iGo-L Dripping Atomizer

Even if you did the only difference is the top cap doesn't slant in as much at the top and the O-rings aren't as tight, which dental floss will fix.
