I love my igo-w attys. They are so simple and cheap, and they work perfectly. I have been experimenting with different caps on mine here are some pics

the cap is from a fogger v2, the first one gave a nice cool vape, little loss of flavor. Fits with no changes to the igo base, just had to drill a couple holes in the glass. Used a dremel with diamond bit.

As I was trying to cut out the bottom to make the cap sit flush with the mod I broke the glass :facepalm: So I put a larger oring on the igo base and made it fit the fogger metal cap. Makes the vape a little warmer than the first setup, but still cooler than the original cap. Flavor is great, no loss from original cap from what I can tell.

I have been looking at buying a cap but am unsure if they are worth it. Do any of you have caps for the igo-w series? if so could you tell me what you think of them, and if possible post a pic or two?

thanks paulbhc. kidneypuncher was actually one of the places I was looking at. I was just wondering if anyone had tried any of them, and what they thought about em. I know the reviews are pretty good but I am still a bit hesitant about buying a $15-30 cap for my $10 atty lol. I was hoping someone could post a pic of their setup

A couple months ago I got a Halo cap for one of my IGO-Ws and it is now my primary RDA. Makes an unbelievable difference and worth every not of the $30 it cost. Cyclops adjustable dual holes that's very easy to adjust, but not a good setup for single coil builds.

I've used the fauxgotti caps by CIA, as well as the halo cap. The halo cap is win. I have 2 Igo-Ws and they both have halo caps. I wish they had been made with the ability to do single coil builds, but that's one of the only negatives I can think of. The fauxgotti caps look nice, but they fit horribly. CIA sent me a replacement cap, because my original did not fit properly and the replacement did not fit much better. It would not sit flush at all. The halo caps fit fine, but they do not sit perfectly flush with my 22mm mods. They were closer to 21.5-21.8mm when I measured them. They still are not perfect as one cap has a tighter fitting heat sink than the other. Could just be the o-rings, but they don't include extras.

As a company, I am not a huge fan of CIA. I like their products and the customer service is decent, but the machining just never seems to be quite right. I also have two of their drip tips. One is the brass with white delrin hybrid and it does not fit in a lot of 510 drip tip bores. I have the same issue with their newer wide bore drop tips with the interchangeable delrin pieces. It seems like they do not machine their parts to tight tolerances or have very lax QC.

Awesome thanks yall! Sounds like I will have to grab a halocap next pay period. love the way it looks and it would be really nice to be able to change the airflow as needed. do the airholes line up well with the afc on the halo? that is one issue i have had with dual afc clones, one side lines up right and the other side is only half open.

Couldn't find anything that topped my IGO-W performance for the longest time. I would use the Igo-L top cap since I only run single coil.

I like the Cap it Alls but they only make dual coil options... but the new Halo v2 brass is supposed to have an option for single coil hole but they are only sold in store (according to their Instagram.)

Mine line up perfectly on each side. Vaping that bad boy now! :cool:

Mine line up great, I still just wish it had the single coil capability. Lol.

I have been looking into the Igo-W. I have the Tobh now, and don't really like it. But I keep hearing nothing but good things about then Igo series. Now seeing that so many different caps will fit the W, I really want one!

The Igo-W is a solid workhorse in the stable of anyone who uses a dripper.
