Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question. But I just received my Igo-L today and built my first coil and it read 2.0 ohms on My mvp 2. My problem is i put about 5 to 7 drops in and when I take a hit on it i am getting liquid up threw the drip tip not much but i don't want any. Any ideas on how i can fix this. I am using 2mm silica for the wick and 30 gauge kanthal wire...

When I do a build on my IGO-L, I get the coil as close to the bottom of the deck as physically possible, without allowing it to touch (else it will short). I can't really get a good idea of how close your coil is, but if you have some wiggle room, try to lower the coil a bit more so that it's closer to the bottom.

You may also benefit from slightly less wick and a lighter draw, even if it is popping and cracking when you fire it.

as someone previously recommended, try different drip tip.
I have the igo-w and w4 - single and dual coils set up - I use a longer 2" tall drip tip and its even slightly narrower i/s than others.
I drilled my air hole a bit bigger also, so there's less of a vacuum, which could lend to sucking juice up thru the drip tip.;)

For the IGO-L, the coil is way too high. You need to drop that down to where the coil is literally hovering the drip well, but not touching. For me, Air Flow is best when it goes over the coil, not directly into it or below it, at least on RDA's.

Look at it this way, with it in the position it's in right now, air flow is hitting the wick and coil as it pops and cracks. In such a direct manor, it's going to come up through the drip tip, especially if you have a hard draw.

Don't be afraid to drop that coil down. As long as you have a good coil that glows evenly, you can let the legs out a bit to get it to drop down to where it needs to be.
