I just got a new Igo-W the other day. Set it up with dual micro coils, came out to .7 ohm. While I do get great vapor, I feel the flavor is lacking. I read somewhere to move the coils up or is it down to increase flavor? I drilled out the air holes to 1/16". After I drilled a hole in my thumb!
Oh yea, I'm using five pawns, grand master 50-50 . 6 nic.

you can simply cut a small piece of wick(whichever wick you are using)and lay it around the top of the coil,just enough wick to lay around the top(lay it down circular on top of the coil until both ends meet)and make sure you saturate that piece of wick,and put the top cap back on.I do this with my builds to increase flavor and it works too good at times,especially if you forget to open up the airflow.On an Igo-W it works really well,and on kayfun type RTA's also.

Just an FYI.

Thank you for the info. I'm vaping it now as I type. Nice difference! But I guess I'm not used to such an open draw. I wish now that I had used a smaller drill to start off with. The good thin is the Igo's are cheap enough that I can pick up another to try with smaller holes. This thing has a wide open draw! Doesn't feel like I'm vaping anything until the exhale.

If you can safely go lower ohms(depends on battery) do so. Ya got big holes might as well take advantage of them? Or put some tape over the holes partially blocking them.
I can go lower. I have the batterys to do it. But this being my first attempt at sub ohm dual coil I wanted to start at .7 or .8 I was happy to see my calculations came out perfect at .7.
Will going lower potentially increase flavor? Vapor seems to be good considering I'm vaping 50\50 mix. Just seems flavor is lacking. I expected more flavor with the Igo-W with lower ohms but my kayfuns taste better than the igo and thats with 1.2 ohm coils.

2 1/16 air holes call for some decent power.
Update: I just covered about 1\2 the holes with tape. WOW Great flavor. Better smoother draw. Wish now I drilled out the holes 3/64 or so to start. I am now going to rebuild coils and shoot for .4 or .5 and see what happens. Thanks for the info guys. Appreciated!

. 5 is my personnel sweet spot.
