Igo- W custom air holes by kidney puncher

[srivalry]

Hey everyone,
i finally decided to make an account on my favorite forum to browse concerning all things ecigs!
alright so I know that the stock air holes on the igo w are too small so if I like a medium draw what diameter air holes is the best ( I know this is subjective but any advice would help)

Hello and welcome,

Since no one has responded yet, I'll jump in and give it a go.

I don't own an Igo W but I was thinking about buying one awhile back. I watched some videos about it as research. One reviewer said he had it drilled to 1/16". I don't think you'd want to go bigger than that. Remember, it's stainless steel so it's very hard to drill. Maybe you can have Kidney Puncher drill them for you or a local vape shop.

I would start smaller than 1/16" and try that. You can always go bigger later.

Do you prefer to lung inhale or mouth to lung?

I found mine to be a pain to drill out, though my bits are old. Start with the smallest bit you have test it and go from there. IMO what size is a bit to subjective.

Use a good, sharp, drill bit and oil to keep it cool. A drill press will help and something to keep it from rolling. Like gandymarsh said the best bet is to have someone else do it.

A good, general, rule of thumb is 1/16 if your a mouth to lung inhaler and 5/64 or larger if you are a lung inhaler. This is assuming a sub ohm coil, the lower the ohms, the larger the hole. As mentioned, start smaller and work up until you find your sweet spot.

I'm going to order one of those too! I have neither the time nor inclination to try and drill out my own

I'm planning on ordering the 1/16ths cap if that's any help at all. To be honest, the Igo-W really isn't that bad stock. I like heavy hits and I don't find it too bad. I wouldn't go super big. More air equals more vapor, however, too much air and you're not going to get a good hit.

The igo-w was my first dripper and I only had ego batteries. I was waiting on an MVP I had ordered. The b&m I bought it at recommended I leave the holes the way they are. After I received my MVP they drilled it out to 1/16 for me and after I received my first mech mod I had them drill it to 3/32 which works great for me. I like the airy draw and it still produces great vapor.

A bit of an old post, but I thought I would chime in as I just one of these with my MVP 2.

I just drilled mine out using a hand drill and a 3/32 bit I'm not even certain is made for metal, it's a black bit from a set I got with the drill. I did both holes in under a minute just holding the cap in my hand. Fairly easy to drill out, no oil or anything, just drilled in 10-20 second shots at low speed.

I must say going up to the 3/32 is great for lung inhaling, and as soon as my second one comes in I'm gonna screw around with this one and go up to 7/64. When I do I'll update and maybe make a video showing how easy it was to drill it out.

Cheers
