I want to buy the Igo L and rebuild my own atomizer but I don't really understand all of what I need to do. I realize I need 31 AWg kanthal wire I think? What about silica and whatever else lol? Also I am guessing the wire is the coil right?? I am just so confused right now because I have been using the HH357 and I just don't want to fork out that much cash all the time so decided to step up to a rebuild. Someone please explain to me exactly what I need to do this and how I go about doing it lol.

There is a wealth of information and tutorials on youtube for someone brand new to rbas. Spend a little time watching vids, and visit the rebuildable atomizer sub forum here on ecf to get help with any aspects that are still naging you. Good luck.
What vego said. Youtube has lots of videos for reference. I dont remember but i think my Igo-l came with small pieces of wick and wire.
Do you build you're own coil or how does that work? BTW I am using a Provari?
This will give you as close to what you are use to with your 557 with a rda.

I would also suggest getting one of these so that you can see up close what a coil & wick are all about.

Yes you build your own coil. Its not as hard as it sounds. Just be sure to check your resistance before you actually use your coil.
head over to youtube and check grimm green and pbusardo's videos on rba's. I think grimm did a video on the igo-l. once you do it a few times, its simple.
So I build a coil and the wick? The coil is just the wire that wraps around the silica wick?
Bro, check this photo tutorial on how to build an RBA. It's not an Igo, but the same principals would apply to any dripper. I don't know about you, but I can't deal with those YouTube videos

If you buy the Igo-L, it will come with some silica wick and kanthal wire. You will eventually need more wick material and wire.
I just bought an Igo-L after over a year of using rebuildable genesis apvs and I highly recommend it. It's a great way to get started, can't beat the price, and you will get plumes of vapor with a decent setup.
Basic steps:
1) open your Igo-L package and clean the atomizer
2) hold the enclosed silica wick over a gas stove (or lighter) to burn off phantom impurities
3) wrap your kanthal wire around the silica 4 or 5 times. The number of wraps control the resistance
4) screw down the ends of the wire to the posts
5) pop on the top with the airhole positioned roughly around the coil
6) drip liquid and vape
You can insert various steps like testing the resistance with a multimeter, etc etc but that's the gist of it.
