Took a quick look at BurLife, it's attractive
(to heat . . . . . . you know what I mean)
I make (I've made) jewelry too, knives.
I usually set the coil at an upright angle towards the ground post [ raised higher on post closest to outside ] by wrapping the "over leg" to the center post and the "under leg" to the ground post. The air flow is basically directed straight to the underside of the coil, forcing air to flow around the coil. Align the air hole with the center of the coil [ bottom side ] by positioning the air hole slightly to the side of the ground post, providing shortest distance to coil. [1/16" air hole, with 1.8 ohm coil on ss mesh]

ok ok 2x 2mm sounds more and more appealing, tonight i will have a project once the lady goes to sleep
Sorry, have to share. Just set mine up: baker's twine (cotton), .6Ω build, .5Ω wet'n'vaped, dual 1/32 air holes (2 x .8mm). Very happy

Nice setup!
Is that a piece of unoxidized SS mesh under the coil?
Hey guys... I agree- my Igo-L needs more air. Should I open the existing hole, or should I drill a second hole? My existing hole is positioned very low and a portion of the base actually obstructs about 15% of it. I'm concerned that If I open up the hole I have, I'll experience some leaking...
try, first putting an o-ring on the base, as a spacer that the cap sits on (not over, on). This should raise your air hole. (IDK maybe one of the spare o-rings that came with it) Enlarging a hole in these caps is 50x easier than drilling fresh. That said, dual air holes kick .... over large singles. 2@ 1/32" is totally different draw and effectiveness than 1@1/16". Has to do with how the tighter hole effects the speed of air coming through the hole, which effects air temp etc., which effects vapor production etc. Two 1/32 feels like single 3/64. One at 1/16 feels like sucking through a slurpee straw (IMO)
A single 1/16" hole has an area of .0123 sq. in
A single 1/32" hole has an area of .003 sq. in
Two 1/32" holes have a combined area of .006 sq. in.
A single 1/16" hole has 4 times the area of a single 1/32" hole, not twice the area.
If you double the diameter of a hole, you increase it's area times 4 (roughly).

That's it! From now on I'm only doing square air holes!
Wait a minute . . . . same thing.

I just got mine, built the coil, and tried it. The coil is at 2.4 ohms, vaping at 4.0 to 4.3 volts, and the vapor production is very low. It's an extremely airy vape. If I attempt to adjust the vape by slightly moving the hole, the throat hit gags me. Even with the hole right over the coil, the throat hit is way too harsh for me. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, and possibly save it from the trash?
If your using silica, a loose coil, " hot leg", dry wick, or the lack of airflow to the coil is causing that harshness. Try adjusting the height of the coil with reference to the air hole. I usually angle the coil higher on the ground post [ closest to edge ] and position the air hole next to that post, which forces the air flow directly to the coil [ bottom center ] with the least amount of distance. Try a lower resistance coil to increase wattage output, and make sure the legs to the post are kept to a minimum.

Did you wash and dry it before building it? New RBAs, and SS mesh should be washed in soapy water to remove the machine oil used in the manufacturing process.
Other than that, take the cap off and look for hot spots. You are vaping between 6.6 and 7.7 watts, vapor production will be limited but taste should be good. Good vapor between 8-10 watts. Take one loop off of your coil.

I pretty new to all this vaping but i can tell you from a noob, I just got this thing in yesterday and first time wrapped 3mm silica wick with it folded 4x then wrapped 28awg 3 times to get me a 1.3ohm resistance. All I have to say is 'wow'. I been watching hours and hours of reviews and lurking on ECF for weeks now because i didnt want to make the mistake on buying something i wasnt going to like.
My IGO-L is now my favorite out of my AGA-T+ (cermic wick) and my Smok R Tank. I can put enough drops to last me half a day in the IGO. Im kinda sad that something so simple turned me away from using my other nice tanks.
But yeah, like Been-verbed and e-Human said and also try different gauged wire and try double folded of 4x folded wick not coiling them to tight. But like everyone else, yes it should vape like a train. My wife is already annoyed watching TV cause she can see past the vape. =)
Goodluck

Got my wikicoil setup nice for the dual air holes. I'm getting stronger throat hit and denser vapor (more white and opaque).

I also just got my IGO-L on my vamo and it was great until i over tightened... Just becareful... looks great on the vamo.

I couldn't get mine apart when it did that. Now it is all scratched to s--t. I found a thread about the rubber ring and ended up shoving some other rubber ring-like things in there and it works fine. The thread is something about "ohm reading on VAMO"
EDIT: here it is http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/375871-vamo-ohm-error-fix.html
what I did was cut some tube part off something like an old clearo silicone bushing, slit it down its "length" and work it around then under the pin. Then I shoved a drip tip o-ring around that (under/around the pin)

I finally got my iGo-L in and I guess I wasn't as much of a bad ... as I am with SS Mesh when it comes to silica. I didn't feel like messing with the mesh and it took me quite a few goes to get a proper coil with no hot spots and no problems. I basically just used a strand of 3mm silica and folded it over to about 4x thickness. Wrapped my coil got it on and oh my god I could not get a decent vape for anything on this thing! It would burn juice and create clouds without the cap but man it was nothing but insane throat hit and little vapor.
I actually tweaked the cap in all different positions and found out that a tiny turn like 1/8th of an inch can be the difference between an awesome vape and coughing your brains out. Also in another fun venture because of hot spots on my .8 ohm coil (some of my first adventures) my wick actually caught on fire. So be careful out there!

IGO-L, K100 and this drip trip .9ohm coil and a 18350 battery. Man, im very impressed. Lots of vapor, not too hot. 3 wraps of 28awg kanthal. Gonna call it my little stinger because it looks like a blue bee without wings =)
I'm waiting on my K100s to come in late next week from China.
Blue for me and champagne for my wife.
I have enough IGO-Ls and AGA-Ts for both with spares for flavor rotation.
I am going to change status of my S ZMax2 and her maxi ugly stack to "back-up/stand by".
