I prefer the IGO-L to the dream dripper.

The IGO holds more, for one.
Also, the air holes on the dream are right at the base... If you have any consequential amount of juice at the bottom of your atty it could drip out unless you're tilting the holes up.

That being said, the dream works quite nicely on my epipemod. And I like the adjustable airflow.

Both are neat little drippers... but I love the IGO.

Adeline, do you set the coil close to the base or up higher? Kind of embarrassing to admit, but only recently realized the holes where at the same hight as the base. I assumed they were higher so tried to make my wire going a few mm up before coiling thinking they would be at the level of the holes. Maybe it'll work better if I keep the coil really low, almost at base level?

I also don't like that there's no posts, it's my first RBA and it seems like a tough build for me. I've taken to using tape over the bottom of the holes instead of using the air control, seems to leak less for me. Now the air control is just a thread cover lol. I'm really looking forward to the IGO-L.

I try to line up the coil with the air holes.. Up off the base, but not too high. Airflow and placement is super important to performance.

I don't like the hole placement on the Dream... it just seems silly.. But it works well on my epipe, which has the airholes titled up anyway. It can be a little leaky.

BTW, the IGO-L doesn't have holes in the post either, you have to get the coil wedged under the screws as well. But at least the screws don't screw into the base, they have posts.

That was the first thing I learned was how important airflow and placement is. When I got it it had a pre-installed coil but was placed on the opposite side of the holes. Yowwwsaa!

I'm really not a fan of the design with the screws right at the base, my fingers aren't a fan of working the wire around the screw in such a tight place. I plan on getting an IGO-S too with the holes in the post, but just having the post raise the screws off the base I think (hope) will be easier for me.

Will probably retire the Dream Fatty clone then, at least until I get my own epipe!

Wow, I just realized the new Igos-S's I ordered actually have holes in the posts! I prefer this over having to mount the coil under the screws... And, I don't think I would like the idea of not having posts at all- like on the Dream

So looks like igo L is what is winning. I'm interested too but was hoping to here about the igo-s. when I drip I don't mind dripping. Meaning I don't care if it holds a lot of juice and I trim off as much wick as possible. Is the igo- s only
Y different as far as size? My only rebuildable has been the phoenix and even though the coil is high the way I did it I'm happy with it. I'll probably just get the igo -s unless you igo L people say its not as good for whatever reason except the fact it'll deal with few drips at a time. ?

debating bw the igo-l and igo-s as well. I gotta a gg clone mod and only reason why i dont want the igol is bc it barely doesnt sit flush...

I read about some loose fit with ego-s and I don't think that is a biggy, not flush would depend if it was crooked. One post said ego-s tended to need to be held perpendicular but ego L wasn't quite like that. I'm not looking for perfect. I'm looking to get about $20.00 bucks worth and learn. I'll get the igo -s from a reputable place and hope I get lucky about the loose stuff.

Overall I think the igo-l is better than the dream drip or the 804, but I dont always want a dripper with me, even if the capacity is 20+ drops. I prefer my bt804, killer 705, and a7-oid when I cant be bothered with dripping.

Plus, some devices provide cooler vapor and hotter vapor. When im vaping lets say whip cream I like a cooler vape to get that canned whip cream can taste and feel.

I'd love to conveniently gain ideas from people who have the igo s2 about wire size and and any tips. I use the least amount possible of wicking material so maybe leave one string to wallow in excess drip fluid. Just silica so far. I tend to burn to the too dry part too often is why. Or mesh maybe. I have a little of that. I'd be good and happy with 2.00 -ish coil results
