First dripper!!!

[Watchmyshoes]

So after some recommendations from some fellow members I jumped out and brought an igo-l and all I can see is WOW!!!! Now I see what everyone was saying about rba's and drippers... Built a 1.8 ohm coil (just learned on the protank a couple of days ago) and tossed it on the vamo (still have some more learning to do before I fire up the mechanical sitting in the drawer). Flavor was outstanding. Idk how ill ever go back to carts or carto tanks.

I also have to ask what are you all doing to widen the airhole?? I have become accustomed to that airy draw of the protank and actually enjoy it better now. I don't have a lot of tools but I would like a better draw on the igo.

Congrats, it does taste good doesn't it. Drill and a bit would be the best option. You could do it by hand as well, takes longer.

Any drill bit size recommendations??

Drill bit and drill at low speed, start small and work your way up. The igo-l cap is one tough cap to drill! I now have a 7/64 air hole on my igo and its perfect for me. Some igo-l's have the air hole a tad low like mine. So if you drill a bigger hole, your going to see the base of the igo in the hole and somewhat blocks it. Put the extra o-ring that you got on the bottom, take the top o-ring out and do a one full wrap of dental floss on the groove, put the o-ring back. Doing so will raise the cap and also snugs the cap into the body tighter.

Yes sorry, size he recommended. Mine didn't need to be lifted as the hole was high enough as is. This is gonna bring the vapor, you should pick up some lower % nic juice too.

Gratz on the dripper!

IGO-L was my first also, actually is my main still

^^ agree with others drill, I used a Dremel and a diamond bit, took awhile but worked.

Now you get to try different coil builds, wicks, and wires, yes it gets even better.

My sweet spot for air hole size is 1/16"

Snapped some pics since I'm using my igo right now

7/64 hole, no extra o-ring on the bottom, body of igo visible in the hole and barely aimed at the coil.


bottom o-ring mod


fixed, air hole directly at the coil..kinda hard to see but its there

Actually I think I did use 1/16 too, yep just checked. Many people use the 7/64 though, I was going to work my way up but liked it where I was. I need to remember that...

Yeah I think I've learned this the hard way... I got use to vaping 18% and after a couple hits I'm coughing like crazy
