Igo-L & air hole size?

[Myah_June2014]

I'm getting the Igo-L since it's easy to learn & single coil. I'm gonna use it to test DIY & drip daily. A guy on ebay was suggested to me, he drills the tiny stock it comes w/. I think 5/64 seems to big & will be way to airy for me? I know it's preference but what size is good starting point smaller then5/64 but, still good lung hit? Tempted to just buy 2 @ couple different sizes. U

I haven't drilled mine at all and the draw is just right. If you tilt it the wrong way it'll leak, however.

Buy it stock size, then go out and invest in a drill + some drill bits. That way you can slowly take it up size by size (Remember: You can always drill it out more, can't un-drill a hole that's been drilled tho). Not to mention drill bits are nice for wrapping coils around, and a drill is nice for when you wanna try some sort of twisted wire coil... So it's not like you'd be buying them JUST to drill out air holes.

Very true! Is there a certain kind of drill bit needed to drill it, or not so much since since I would be making it bigger vs starting a new hole all together?

Try it first see if you like it. If you decide to drill only drill in small increments til you get the draw your looking for.

What size wire do you all suggest to start, I have the MVP2 so can't go crazy low... Is cotton the best wicking to use for this or something else? Sorry to get off topic! I'm gonna start new post for this question..

I would say get a cobalt drill bit. I can imagine 1/16 and 5/64 being 2 very good sizes to drill out, and they are handy for wrapping coils and a bunch of other mods for attys, so paying a tiny bit more makes sense.

I use the cheap bits from harbor tools & freight, can't drill a new hole but it opens up holes just fine.

As for the wire, either 28g or 30g, maybe pick up some 32g if you wanna do high resistance coils (3Ω+) or stuff with twisted etc.

I find the stock hole is just fine. I'm used carto tanks and evods and it's probably similar and maybe even a tad more airy than those. I suggest you buy it as is, then decide.
