Ok so I think I need to revise my entire way of thought when it comes to vaping.

I finally received my two IGO-L that I ordered recently, but didn't have much time to play with them, so I just quickly cut off a length of 3 mm silica, nipped a length of 32ga wire and wrapped a quick and messy 4/3 coil, mounted it in the IGO-L, threw it on my ProVari, and measured it to 2.2 Ω... Set the voltage to 4.8, dripped 10 drops of Boba's Bounty, fired it up and took a hit.

Sweet mother of god!. This thing hits like a dumptruck. Massive, thick white vapor, perfect throat hit and flavor.

I purchased two of them, so that I could play around with modding one of them... Right now I don't see a need to do that... It's perfect out of the box.

Now... I normally use rba's... I have in my possession right now a DID, a Mini DID, an AC9 and a borrowed BliSS. Honestly.... I am in doubt if I want to use rba's anymore, or if I should sell the lot and just stick to the IGO-L. This is possibly the most perfect vape I have had in ages. I dare not think how it will be with some tinkering, on a mech mod.

I'm really surprised. Yes, I have heard a lot of good about the IGO-L... But seriously, this thing costs next to nothing, is a piece of cake to set up, and vapes like there's no tomorrow.

All I can say is "wow"...

I am right here with you... Just set mine up after I washed and dried it. Set it up with 3mm silica and 32awg Kanthal at 2.4ohm and 8.5w on the VAMO... dumped some famous 5 layer in there and HOLY CRAP!!!! You ain't lying... it hits hard, flavor is amazing and vapor is out of this world!!! It was easier than I thought it would be to set up. Can't wait for the juice to run out so I can keep trying juices!!! IGO-L may just be the one!

Just got mine in the mail today and reading this has got me all excited...i am going to enjoy this and take my time ...i was thinking about robbing the wicks out of a few 2.8 vivi nova coils...i dont use them anyway...

Did you guys use the silica that came with...not sure what gauge it is..i figured i would use it and the vivi silica together with a 5/4 of the 28 that came with..try to get a 2.0 -2.5...

I used the silica that came with it but it's not good stuff. Good enough for an initial setup to try it out, but you'll want to do a proper build soon enough.

It's amazing how easy these little RDAs make it to roll your own coils. Silica is very forgiving and the IGO is so simple, it's a no-brainer.

I too got mine today ... liked the fact that it had a decent well.

Doesn't hit as hard as my genesis (0.3 ohm lower coil) but it's pretty dang close. Tried a cotton wick at first but found silica to be better IMHO.

Bored out the air hole to around 1/16 and rocking @ 1.1 ohms. The vapor, flavor, and nicotine delivery are top notch.

Anyone else find this litter sucker a bit tougher to drill out? The AGA-T2 didn't give me any struggle but I had to drill this Igo in smaller bit increments and work my way up. Dang thing even slipped out of my hand and broke my 1.45mm bit. LOL

Only two minor complaints really ..

- Some of them have the air hole too low and mine was one of them. After increasing the hole size this didn't really matter. Those who like the draw but have one with a lower airhole you can just chizzle, sand, or cut the wire posts down a tad to solve this.

- The top cap is pretty tight and "crunchy" when putting it on. This will work itself out after some use.

All in all it was well worth the $13.50'ish I spent on it at myvaporstore with the ecf5 coupon code.

I just set it up with the silica it came with and a vivi piece from a 2.8 coil, it seemed to be exactly the same diameter..wrapped 5/4 with 32 for 2.0....screwed it on the vamo and WOW!!!!.....it is what you said it is...i wont say its better than my other top shelf RBA'S......but we all know whats up...this little thing packs a big punch and the flavor is a whole new level for me...mosy vape production and flavor i have ever built....

Great value for the 15 bucks....and my first rda...

I can definitely say I agree with almost everything that's been said about The IGO so far. I've had two of them for about a month now and they are probably my most used delivery devices. They beat out my AGA, Kayfun, Penelope, carto tanks, etc... purely because of ease of use and quality of the vape. I can't say enough good things about this. The second one I got is a revision of the first and has one post a little wider than the other, they also changed the 510 connection on the newer one. The older version doesn't fit on top of my Roller, but the new one does.

The only negative I can come up with (aside from the first version not fitting my Roller) is that when I take it around town I have to keep the airhole facing upwards, away from the ground or else it will leak a little, but that's an inherent flaw by design, as with most RBA drippers. I did drill out my airholes to 1/16 however, I'm sure the bigger hole makes for easier leakage. If I put only about five or six drips rather than 10-20 it also takes care of the problem.

I want to order another, but I keep forgetting about that tapered top. I like my "dome top" version so much better than that AGA look.

Anyone ever figure out where/how to get the dome-top version? Mine originally came from MVS but I'm not sure what they'd ship now that they were out of stock for so long.
