iGo L, iGo W, or the FT one?

[Susaz]

I'm a seasoned rba tank builder, enjoying my Terminator C greatly. I want my first rba atty, and I don't know which one to choose, a single coil or a double coil. I'm worried about the loose iGo L cap, and I was wondering if that got improved in the iGo W.

This one from FT seems like a sweet deal too... $6.14 V5 Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Detachable Dripping Atomizer - 1.0

The loose IGO-L cap was fixed in subseqent manufacturing runs of the IGO-L

Unless some vendor has some really old stock on hand you are unlikely to get an IGO-L that has a loose cap at this point

that v5 from fasttech rocks i like it much more then my igo-l.
we were all talking it up in another thread and for 6 bucks its a really nice dripper, i have two and one goes with me to work everyday.

I would highly recommend the igo W

the fact that it has 3 posts as opposed to the Igo L's two makes it a no brainer for me. Personally I like having the option to run dual and quad coils. And if you only desire to build single coils, then you still do that too!

Also, if I am not mistaken, the posts in the Igo L do not have holes in them, making builds a little bit harder and the inability to use bakero (ribbon) wire. I personally have the Igo W and love the fact that each post has a hole in them to feed the wire through, especially if you wish to use thicker kanthal, or like I stated earlier, bakero (ribbon) wire.

I've set up my IGO-L with ribbon wire, it's very easy.

The Igo-L rocks! I recently recieved one of the $7 FT drippers but I haven't set it up yet. It came w/a cool looking dual coil set-up that tasted like crap, so I ripped it out & stashed the RDA for a rainy day. Maybe I should dig it back out...

Loose caps are nothing to worry about. They can be fixed cheaply and easily by taking off the o-ring(s), wrapping dental floss a few times around the grooves, then replacing the o-rings.

Having tried the earlier IGOs and the AGI, I'd recommend either. The extra post on the IGO-W seems to be a plus. If you have a 22m mod, the AGI looks great on it.

I have 5 L's and none have loose caps. I don't find the need to do dual coil. I get more then enough flavor and vapor by drilling out the air hole on the L and using micro coils. I chase the nic fix, not the vapor production but that is me. I exclusively vape the L, everything else has been put away and collecting dust.

Mine does.

2 weeks with the IGO-L and not used any of my other 5 or 6 drippers since including the mini kayfun

 

[oplholik]

Mine does.

Show off!

Anyone know of a good dual coil tutorial with great pics? I asked Super Drifter, who did the fantastic tutorial with the Reomizer, but caught flack from a less is more type of poster who doesn't yet get it. Thought I'd ask here next.

 

[Joshua T Clark]

My new Nautilus Dripper is awesome!

Did you need to redrill the top holes deeper? Or just drill and replace with set screws using the stock depth?

I did not have to drill the posts deeper & I did not retap (forgot to answer your question about that). I only replaced with set screws cause unlike most, I prefer to use them. As long as you drill into the threaded section & your screws will reach that far you should be fine.

PM'd you since I wasn't sure if there was quote notifications on this site, but thank you again for the help! I HATE the stock IGO-L setup, it's very annoying to work with at times, especially with dual coils.

Probably not even worth getting them drilled unless you know someone who will do it for cheap or free. I definitely wouldn't try with a hand held drill. Considering the IGO-W is only $15, it might be better to just get one of those. Has three posts for dual coils & the posts have holes.

I actually found a shop around here that is willing to try it, so I'm going to head over there in a little bit. I believe it will be free, but I didn't ask on the phone. Do you think 1/16" is too large? I'm not too worried if they botch it, because the clone is only $7 from fasttech. I plan on ordering either an Igo-T or Igo-W soon anyways, but I really like this clone so far and I figured I could make it just a little better.

 

[darkzero]

Yeah I think 1/16" is pretty large. It might work but it might weaken the posts too much though.

That is exactly what I was worried about, it may also interfere with the threads.
