IGO-W, NIMBUS or TRIDENT

[alonsou]

Hi there, I'm new to the forum and I've been vaping for about 1 month now.

Tomorrow, I'll be buying my first rda for my K100, but I can't decide which one to go for. Money is not an issue but if I'll get similar results with a cheaper model then I won't mind using the saved money in some juice, so which one should I go for?

I have the nimbus pretty easy to rebuild. I was also looking at the trident today at my local B&M but I decided to hold off on it since the nimbus is doing great at the moment.

I bought the igo-w because it was cheap. On mine the holes in the posts don't line up like they should and that makes using ribbon a HUGE pain. It's cheap and works (with some effort) but is pretty inconsistent. Now i'm looking to buy a nimbus.

I have an IGO-L that i got for like 25-ish shipped after buying the coil and wick with it... Works great as far as I am concerned I had a noob boo boo since I am new to them but I think I am getting better but in my limited experience its a great cheap RDA

I use the Igo W. it's the only one I've ever tried.

Ditto. I would get a Nimbus. FYI....FT sells one for 10% of the Nimbus cost.

I have everything but the IGO W. The Trident I like better than my Nimbus for the adjustible airflow. My Helios is easier to build with, and has bigger airflow.

If any of you guys are in Downtown LA, theres a store called Vape and Juice that sells the IGO-W and IGO-L for only $20. They wrap it for you!

Bought myself my first RDA (igo w) from my local b&m. This thing is awesome. I haven't rebuilt the coil but the flavor and vapor production is amazing. Not sure about the higher end RDA's but this one is working great for me. Good luck!

Nimbus clone 5$ can't beat that!!!!!!!!

I have a Nimbus, and the holes in the posts don't line up on it, either - the middle post is turned slightly to one side, making it a bit tricky to thread the wire. Once I get it set up, though, it is by far my favorite atomizer. Having said that, I can't see any reason why the igo-W wouldn't work just as well. The key is the air flow. I haven't used an igo-W, but I have a couple of ig-L's and the air holes are tiny. You'll probably have to drill them out some to get good vapor production, but again, it's the same with the Nimbus. My advice is to go with the less expensive model first. If you like the dual coils and want another one, then you can spend more on a Nimbus with out fear of regret.

I agree I had to drill my igo w with a 1/16 drill. Works great now.

I'm asking Santa for a Helios

I recommend starting off with this one, its cheap and I find it easier to drill (since your starting out) I also have the igo l and w, they pretty much do the same thing. The trident is cool but you can spend that money on juice. In the end, it's personal preference bro.

Thanks to all for the replies, since I originally posted this, I have bought the IGO-L, IGO-W, Chimbus and RSST.

Out of all 4, I like the performance of the W, follow by the L then RSST and last the Chimbus. Actually I don't like the chimbus at all, posts are misaligned and cap fits loose, material is thinner than W or L. I've been vaping on the RSST for a couple of days only, and so far I'm happy with its performance. I currently have a dual coil of flat ribbon 2/3 wraps over ekowool on my W and it performs amazing, single coil of 28g Khantal over ekowool for the L and steel wire rope wick with 2/3 wraps of 28g khantal on the RSST. Now if I can only find a Stormrider 2.1 for grabs .....

Try microcoiling the rsst and drilling the top cap to 5/64". Vapor and flavor will compete with the drippers once you get very practiced. I use 500 mesh and 28 gauge kanthal at 2.4 ohms. Mind shattering once you nail it

SO what was the noob boo boo? I'm only a couple months into vaping, have a glass kanger protank II and a Matrix-s dripper. I don't like the messiness of the standard atomizer with long wicks in a huge chamber for dripping like the Matrix-s has when putting the shell back on, but I love the look of the mod itself. SOOO, I want to upgrade to a bottom coil dripper. Have been spending time in shops learning how to coil my wicks, learning about the ohms, etc. But I'd like to know what some of the common mistakes are so I can avoid them before deciding if I'm getting a trident, nubius, etc.

My first mistake in getting my first dripper is not getting one with adjustable air flow. I found having adjustable air allowed me to experiment more with different builds until I found the ones I liked.

Don't get me wrong I have a couple of non AfC drippers and I started out with and Igo w... but for anyone starting out AfC gives you more options.

 

[dykealiscious]

Is the Nimbus adjustable? I went with that over the Trident because of it's ability to reserve lost juice.

 

[brickfollett]

Yeah my trident is really shining on my stingray at .76 ohms with a dual coil
