IGO-L as bottom feeder?

[EagleTa2]

Hi all...

Has anyone modified an IGO-L for use as a bottom feeder? i have watched it done via you tube videos on the IGO-S, but dunno why nobody has tried the IGO-L?

I think I would remove the screw in the center post to drill a very small hole all the way through the center post. then invert the base and drill a larger hole to match the hole in my 510 connector to the bottom of the threads. Then drill a perpindicular hole right above the insulatorfor the juice to flow out of.

I like the IGO-L for its ease of coil building and the deeper juice well.

my only question would to try and push the center pin out for drilling or leave it pressed in?

has anyone tried either method?

thanks
Geo

For the procedure you are suggesting, you would need to remove the center pin. All it takes is a burr to catch the bit, and you have a center post spinning in the insulator.

FWIW I've modified a few RDAs by removing the center pin and cutting a channel in the nylon insulator. This allows for liquid to travel up the side of the pin. The nylon is pretty firm, and as long as the channel does not exceed the width of the center pin, the risk of shorting the RDA is minimal.

Thanks for the above tip....makes it much easier!

I was under the impression that the hole in the 510 connector had to align with a hole in the center pin to allow juice to flow. Not so?

Does slitting the insulator require increased squonking pressure over a hole in the center pin?

Thanks

IGO-L just drilled a bottom hole and a side hole in the center post. works great on a Rev2 and an Vmod xl with a 510 extension.

That's exactly what I was planning...

Did you remove the center pin to drill it or leave it in the base?

How hard was it to drill? Is it stainless?

Last ?... What size hole did you drill?

Thanks in advance!

It is soft brass, I left in while I drilled and I think it was a 1.3mm bit.

Did you use a drill press or did you use a hand drill?

I'm doing the same thing right now, using the igo l but I'm building the rest of the mod myself, I took the post out and it wasn't bad at all. If you have any time and or knowledge about how to connect the bottle to the bottom of the 510 I'd appreciate it if you would check out my thread. Search: (convert igo bottom feeder) I don't mean to hijack yours, I think you'll be fine tho, that's how it's done and people who did it like it, I haven't tried it yet tho. I to am worried about it leaking in between the igo and the 510. I'm assuming it's not a problem your facing?

I'm starting a new thread covering the completed prototype of the sickest new bottom feeder around....
Check it out lots of pics!

Looks beastly indeed, but you should put it in the modding forum or possibly the battery mod forum. Since it is more than just the battery portion itself, I suggest the full on modding forum.
