Igo-BF RBA

[funkytay]

I'm excited to get this.....hopefully before Memorial Day weekend or else I will be waiting until Tuesday, which is back to work time. I'd love to run it on Saturday at the BBQ I am having.

I ordered it Tuesday morning, so I sure hope it went out on Tuesday which I believe is a shipping day for the Modmaster. I haven't gotten a ship notice though Come on, baby!!

Waiting for shipping is the worst, or best. Personally I like a little anticipation. Can't wait to hear how it works for you...

Surprised noones mentioned this.
The deck isn't ceramic, it's stainless too, so make sure your coil doesn't touch it!

I am very happy with the vape I get from the IGO-BF. Truth be told It probably has more vape time than any other atty. When I finally stopped over squonking juice out the air hole It became one of my favorite. I expect you will really like it as well.

for those who have both:

how does the RM2 compare to the Igo-BF? similar?
worth the cost differential in your opinion?

i run a single coil, 1.8 -2.0 ohm with silica wick on my RM2 and am thinking of getting either the brass RM2 or the Igo-BF from Robert next. Just curious.

thanks in advance!!

HAHAHA I love your enthusiasm. I did the exact same thing this morning. I opened my eyes at 6:33am and the first thing I did was grab my cell phone off the charger and pull up USPS.com, paste in the tracking number and it said it cleared Orlando last night, which meant delivery for today. I hadn't even wiped my eyes yet. My vision was still blurry from sleepers being in there. Didn't sit on the edge of the bed for a minute stretching or rubbing my face. Elapsed time from hitting the alarm clock to grabbing my phone was literally about 5 seconds. Great way to start the day.

The first thing I did is grab my REO...

Well, I tried a few builds on the Igo this weekend and I have come to realize that it is not for me simply due to the diameter of the coils I build and the thickness of wire I use. I have placed a post in the swap thread. Looking to trade this almost brand new Igo for an RM2.

 

[<KDM>]

What size coils are you building? Wire?

 

[jifjifjif]

Building coils on a Q-Tip shaft which allows me to run 3mm ReadyXWick in there perfectly. Using 24 gauge Kanthal A1

No experience with that, I use 28 gauge 5/64" micro coils w/cotton. Works great!

 

[jifjifjif]

Well that's good to know. I'm hoping someone with many RM2s will want this atty in a trade. Trying to do it here in the REO forum before heading to classies.

So what is the issue? Are the posts too close together for your build type? I like the close posts like the cyclone has unlike the rm2 which are further apart.. I don't like spread legs..... I mean on an atty.

I agree, 7 - 8 wraps of 28 on a 2mm drill bit (5/64"?) for a .7 - 1 ohm coil makes the post placement on an iGo S/ERA/Cyclone almost like it was by design.

 

[jifjifjif]

yeah, for me, that size coil is tough to build (for me) on the Igo. I have just gotten so accustomed to building on the RM2's field goal posts, that I far prefer those.

 

[Quigsworth]

Fair enough, and if you're building micros, coil legs aren't much of an issue

Hello, REOfam.
I've watched SuperX's videos on building coils on them and it seems to be straight forward, but any tips or tricks you guys have stumbled upon that may be helpful would be appreciated.
Thanks much.

Just got mine in the mail about 30 mins ago. Only differences I've noticed from the RM2 are mostly obvious - lower air holes; no ceramic on the deck (be careful with shorts); and the posts are much closer together.

Still a very easy build - had to re-wick a second time since I was partially obstructing the airhole - once I cleared that up, this little thing is great. I did leave a little extra cotton on the deck (personal preference) to help with wicking.

Edit: 30 gauge; 6-7 wrap micro on a coil jig; 1.2 ohm
