Hey Kat, looks like I followed you over to the rba threads!! I was about to go through this part of the forum and I saw this post.
Here's one link to the IGO-L IGO-L - Rebuildable Atomizers
It says it comes with "one repair kit", which I'm guess is a small amount of wire & wick, probably only enough for a few builds.
As far as instructions go, the best bet is to watch youtube videos or videos/posts here on ECF.
Here is a good thread on IGO's http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-dripping-atomizer-anyone-have-one-these.html
This thread is for a Kayfun 3.1, but good tutorial on building coils. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tutorials/503153-kayfun-3-1-microcoil-cotton-guide.html

Right now my plan is to order the IGO-L, some Kanthal wire (probably 30gauge) and use organic cotton for wicking material.

You should also check out riptripper on youtube. He does tons of different coil builds and reviews for alot of different equipment.

The IGO-L is a good choice as a starter if you plan on just doing single coil builds. However, if you think you would want to try out a dual coil setup I recommend you grab the IGO-W instead. It has 3 posts instead of 2 with plenty of space to build in. Both are great starter RDAs.

Like previously mentioned, youtube can be your friend for learning how to build. Also, Ohm's Law will be your best friend as well.

Just remember when you start to rebuild, take into consideration the maximum amperage of your batteries. In your case I think the MVP2 has a max of 3A, so to be safe I would stick with 1.3 ohm coils and up.

I started my dripping experience yesterday with an IGO-L. It took me 3 setups before I had one I liked. All I have is some 32GA wire and I think that is a little thin so I twisted 2 pieces together and made a 3/2 coil wrapped around some 2mm silica looped back over itself along with a single strand of 1mm silica. It ohmed out to .7. The air hole seemed small after I tried it out so I drilled it out a little bit with a #54 drill bit. I am running this on a mechanical mod.

I bought a cheap RDA from Desert Vapes. Mostly because it was cheap and had thumbscrews, It is small, nice looking, leaks out the air hole if you overfill it...doh and vapes really well. I was placing an order anyway and what the heck. It has been going for a long time on the first juice. I got it to test DIY juice to see if it needs more steeping.

After watching tons of videos on youtube by Rip Trippers and Pbusardo on builds and such, I was inspired to do a semi-rebuild on my PTII. I've hated the PT since the day it arrived. Little vape, almost no flavor, and a nasty machine oil taste.
I didn't rebuild the coil, I just replace the wick with cotton.
Night and day! Plenty of vape, intense flavor (even with juice cut 50% with unflavored).
I think I'll probably over-nic myself tonight!!
I still want a dripper, probably the Dripper Pro, but this may hold me off on getting the Kayfun Lite +, which is hard to find in stock anyway, but, I did sign up to be notified by vaperev when it's back in stock.

Funny thing I noticed on Amazon. While looking at items such as multi-meters, cotton balls, tweezers, and butane torches, if you look at the "what others viewed/purchased" for these items, you'll see things like Kanthal wire & silica wick!

So I just ordered an IGO-W. For just under $15 from MVS, I figured it's an easily cost effective way to get into RDAs. Went with the W so I can have the dual coil option.

8 wraps 24 or 28 gauge Kanthal, dual coil nano dragon, I was just wondering if I did good? It hits decent. Not as good as the guy who does it for me at the shop though...

Looks pretty good to me! Although I haven't done one yet, but looks close to what I've seen in videos.
Did you drill out the air holes or leave them stock?

Did you get one yet?
My IGO-W came yesterday. Felt like a kid on Christmas morning! I certainly need a little more practice on building, but it goes quicker than I thought.
The vape is awesome from this thing, and it should only get better as I get better at my builds. In a way, it's ruining my likings for my IBT and V-Fates!
Note for ProVari users: Don't bother with a beauty ring, the IGO won't make contact with the firing pin. I tried to measure the ohms with the ProVari and it showed open, seemed impossible since the coil looked good, took of my ring and...boom! 2.3ohms!!
