IGO L help

[ricisking]

today i just received my new igo L. I love the look of it. I also purchased a 1mm silica with 33 awg kanthal wire. I started building my first one and made 4 loops with my wick while wraping it around 4 times with the wire. It ended up being 2.5 ohms, which is ok for me. However, for some reason whenever i take a drag, it feels like the vapor is too thin like its almost watery. What could be the reason? Hope this makes sense. I dont know how to explain it.

28 or 30 gauge kanthal is better....2.5 ohms is kinda high resistance for a rda/rba

How many volts or watts did u apply? What is the pg/vg ratio of your juice?

My IGO-L has xc 116 ceramic wick double looped with 3 snug wraps of 30 gauge kanthal on it.....1.1 ohms vaping my 60/40 DIY juice on a CCTS mech mod...

in my opinion your resistance is too high. Personally the lower the ohms the better ( but it also depends on what mod your running Mech or VV/VW) but i like using 3mm silica wick with 30awg kanthal. i do a 3 fold of wick and a 2/3 wrap for my coil. I also bored out the air hole much larger then the stock hole.

this chart helped me in the beginning and i still refer to it now and again

re-edit : i forgot to mention that my resistance usually comes out to be about 1.1 - 0.9 ohms

air hole on top cap bore out to 1/16 at a minimum

I don't agree you don't have to go super low ohm on that if you give it enough voltage 4.6 - 5 v it should give you plenty of vapor. I did drill my air hole I used 3/64 drill bit. what do you have that on top of?

i have mine a little bit bigger then 3/32, though mine has a slight whistle from the lip of the juice reservoir. ( doesnt bother me at all)

What kind of device are you using it on? If you are using a mech...you are way too high, if VV crank it up. Make sure the hole is as close the coil as possible. I would also suggest boring it out if you do the other things and are still not satisfied.

they do have a different feel to them because of the air hole on the side vs the a standard atty with the air hole underneath the coil

28 awg kanthal
2 mm silica wick folded 3 times
single or dual it's always .8 ohms no need to check it with a meter
mech mod with 3.7-4.0v
drill another hole on the other side facing the coil make sure it's above the cup

Go to 3 mm wick, 28 or 30 gauge wire, at most 4 wraps and fill the cup with wick. 20 drops from dry and 10 drops to re wet. Good to go.

absolutely !

I'm using a vamo v2. The juice im using is 50/50. I havnt made the hole bigger yet because I dont have a drill to do it. I've been vaping the 2.5 ohm resistance on 3.8-4 volts. So should I crank it up? or change the whole thing and lower the resistance?

Try cranking it up first, but soon you'll probably want to get that coil resistance down.

I wrap 32g wire on a toothpic 5 wraps slide the coil together then off the tp. all without a wick then i hook it up fire it off tune the coil ..then i slide a 3mm silica wick in..and it works well

You should try cranking that Voltage up to at least 4.5V. I'm not familiar with the Vamo so don't know what the resistance cut off is so going sub ohm might not work. If you can get your coild down to around 1.2-1.5 ohms you should be good. Also, when you get a chance, drill drill drill! More air flow = more vapor. As anothe poster stated at least 1/16 to start. When you get to the sub ohm setups on a mechanical the bigger air holes help with cooling down the vapor a tad too. Hoe that helps
