Don't recall where I got my first one, it was really tight and had to be on a device in order to give something to hold onto to get it apart. I just ordered 2 more from myvaporstore, so I hope they're as tight as the first one (that I dropped and broke the ground leg on last Saturday while wrapping a coil - Argh!) If it's loose, you can probably tighten it up with thicker o-rings or put a couple wraps of plumbers tape under the o-rings to make them engage better. Probably only need a couple thousandths to get a good grip.

Thanks bro!

I've got an Igo-L, but find it very clumsy to get a good wick in it. Any suggestions as to how to make a wick for it?

I use 26 or 28AWG Kanthal and wrap the coil on a ~2.5mm nail. Once the coil is wound and secured in the posts, I'll fire it to a nice glow to set it in place. Then using a eyelet made from some extra kanthal wire, I'll pull 8 strands (single length, doubled over 3 times) of #10 cotton yarn through the coil. Make the final coil adjustments, soak with juice, wait a few minutes, vape on.

Here is .5Ω with 26AWG Kanthal...

That looks very good mine is a 30g kenthal wire and 5 wraps gives me 1.5 ohms don't have a mech. mod yet.

On average, how many pulls do you get off a full fill....10 drops or whatever it is. Lets say 3.7v.

I would estimate 50 puffs but really who cares IMO this thing is working so well I would not mind less puffs.

Valid point. Can I slap one of these on an itaste mvp?

I have three IGO-Ls and I love them. The top caps are tight on all of them and I picked up 50 extra o-rings on eBay (just in case). I'm using Kanthal wire and ribbon with silica and SS mesh (different combinations). I like 1Ω coils and I've been wrapping them on a drill bit and then putting in silica (sometimes with a needle and thread). I put in about 20 drops of liquid at a time and sometimes tilt it to make sure that it's wicking well if I'm chain vaping.

I love my IGO-L's. I own two of them... one for fruity, one for chocolates! Best RBA I've owned so far. It's better than the Aga-t+'s I had and also better than the RSST's I have now. Vape is thicker and full flavored , if you can appreciate that description.

Indeed I had no idea eliquid could taste that good I've been hitting legend most of the night and can't get enough it was ok on aga-t and iclear 30 big difference with the IGO-L.

Yup, I can relate! Don't know what it is, but might be the smaller chamber that makes the difference. I'm actually going to try to "shrink" the RSST chamber to see if it helps it. Not sure how yet.

I have two L's and two S's. I've only used the L's to date... Although these are not optimal for my bottom feeder, I keep an L on to of my Provari at all times. HANDS DOWN my favorite atomizer for taste, vapor production, ease of use, and juice storage capability.[/QUOT

I completely agree and it was so easy to set up best RBA this far for me I used 3mm silica doubled up 5 coils and worked flawlessly from the get go.

Rebuildable dripping atomizers are my staple.

.8ohm verical coil. 100% cotton wick.

All I need. Vaping bliss.

Rocking the Pheonix, but I just traded my AGA T2 (NEVER . AGAIN) for an IGO-L, extra kanthal and some hemp wick.

Oh great... I just recoiled this thing on monday... now I have to try this... LOL

I have no idea how long a coil might actually last, I get bored, or curious too often.
