I should do reviews, but I don't have the equipment or tech skills. I would at least show people how to build it. And how to fill it because I see the leaking complaint on all top filling attys. I have a weird knack for them.

It was a terrible review. He couldn't even remember who made it. If you can't, you should at least look before you turn on the camera :confused:

I've never watched him before. What kinds of builds does he do that he didn't think bigger coils would fit? I have 6 wrap Claptons in mine. Not the biggest coils I'm currently running, but not small.
At least he called you "peeps". A term I haven't used or thought was cool since 2002.

If you want anything remotely factual or practical your out of luck with mike vapes the guy is useless and gets so much wrong it's a wonder anyone bothers watching him anymore. Still looking at the higo but so many options coming out heads a bit all over the place at the minute trying to keep up.

It really does have fantastic flavor, and the airflow options are pretty cool. Its first on my list next month to get a second one. This month I'm on a spending hiatus.

How would you say this compares to the Aromamizer? Is the build deck any bigger?

The decks are very similar in size. I have the same 6 wrap, 2.5mm ID Claptons in one of my Aromamizers. I think the Higo has better flavor, but the Aromamizer is pretty good as well.

If you need a bigger deck, look at the MT or Griffin. If you want a really big deck, the VCMT or Ohmega BFT.

Just the info I was looking for. Thank you so much. I learn a lot from your posts.

I may cave and pick this up soon, but I'm still not seeing a ton of vendor results on Google. Where are folks picking one up these days cheaply and with quick U.S. shipping?

Oh, also, my last lingering question. People around the web really like to complain about the size of the top fill holes, how small are they really? Are they any smaller than the V1 Goblin Mini?

The holes in mine are a tight 2mm on the outer cap, and 1.8 on the inner , Gmini v1 is about 2.3mm, so yes, it is smaller. Was talk about a different top cap, but nothing so far. I don't even bother going through the fill holes any more, just unscrew chimney with top cap and glass. Pretty easy as long as your dexterity is not impaired, also helps prevent floods if your wicking isn't perfect.


I've not shopped around, I got mine from Vapordna, DNA10 should get 10% off the price.

Hey my ECF peepz 8)and hey Roxy ! I am a bit of an RTA junky myself so I always check your posts.

So I have a couple quick questions is the flavor on this really that good ? I have a bellus and a gmini v2 I use for flavor right now and I wanted to pick this up but after I read about the quality issues I figured I should wait.

Would it behoove me to wait for a revision? Or should I just say screw it and pull the trigger

I think the Bellus has really good flavor, too :). The Higo and Bellus probably have the best flavor for RTAs in this category.

If you can live with the small fill holes, go ahead and get one :). If there are any quality issues, PM me and I'll help you get it replaced. I traded one of the testers a Goblin Mini to get a second Higo because I like it so much.

The things that are keeping me from getting a higo is the squishy insulator and this "fix it" bag being released, will the stock product incorporate these fixes or are we expected to buy the Atty and then pay for the fixes. I know your busy Roxy (congrats on your own Atty :)) any chance you can get some info on this as you have contacts within the company please.

I'll reach out and find out what's happening.

I made my own insulator, but totally understand others not wanting to :)
