i just got one as well, this sure is small... like super small. I wanted the IGO-L but they were all out at the shop by my pad so i went with the only other option. The base doesn't wobble on mine, maybe it's your APV... not really sure. I guess if the 510 threading on the IGO is jacked it might make it wobble. I wish the bottom of it had a juice well instead of being flat. Can't wait to get a mod with adjustable top threading so i can make my rba's sit flush with the top of the mod instead of having a gap.

but man is this thing small (i like it though, vapes nice):

I've got one as well, along with its bigger brother, the igo-L. The latter works better for me, no wobble and the cap doesn't come off easy, as opposed to the small one. A light wiggle is enough to have the cap coming off, especially if used with a heavier DT. Trying to find some thicker o-rings to fix this.
It's sure nice and small but has its drawbacks.

When the OP said the base wobbled even when screwed on tight I assumed he was taking about the base... not the top cap since that doesn't screw on at all.

But some people have mad comments regarding the cap and its loss fit. Mine has a loss fit and will wobble or pop off when pulling the drip tip out (if I don't hold the cap wile doing so). I'm not the slick on finding better o-rings suited for the job. So if anyone has found a better o-ring that will keep the cap fit nice and tight, let me know. I'd love to pick some up.

Just got the igo-s set up...vaping real nice right now. Only minor problem is that the base wobbles slightly even when it is screwed down all the way. Does anyone else have this same problem with their igo-s?

neither the igo l or igo s wobbles on my set ups (also both caps are tight as opposed to earlier versions where i heard they were too loose)

i used dental floss wrapped under an oring for a drip tip that i really loved but wouldn't fit anything. usually just a single wrap around will do wrap a couple times around, then place your orings back but make sure to leave a tail of the floss out. test for proper fit and just pull floss to adjust tightness, then trim!

I don't think it's about early or later versions at all, it's the usual chinese inconsistency in producing almost everything.
My iGo-S will soon hit the road toward a more forgiving owner, I really hate having to wrap dental floss on the base to get a tighter fit (or insert random workaround here).

Yeah, chinese stuff is cheap, but for a good reason. You've got to be lucky to get a piece that doesn't need fiddling to get it to work properly.

China, the only place in the world that each mass produced product on the same line is completely different... it's like their making snow flakes over there. Lol
