IGO-W vs other RDA's

Status
Not open for further replies.
First off I'd like to state that I tried to find a better section of the forum to post this under.

My personal collection of tanks and mods is steadily growing but my go rda is definitely my IGO-W. I always build dual coil and I also sub ohm between .25 and .5.

I watch alot of review videos especially from psueardo, grimmgreen and ripptripper for RDAs.

My post and questions stem from this, how do other RDAs stack up against the IGO-W?
Such as the Nimbus or Patriot.

I'm interested in adding other 22mm rda's to my collection that are easy to build on and perform as well as my IGO.
Note that personally I am a clone user for budget sakes.

What are the advantages of the other RDAs versus the IGO-w and the disadvantages?
Also I am particularly interested in a RDA like one I saw, yet do not remember the name, It two outer posts for negatives and two inner positive posts, meaning that each coil would have its own set of posts.

Oh, please post links to any great deals on RDA's that you mention.

Assorted pv topics> rebuildable atomizer discussion.

The main difference is that the cap of the igow holds A LOT of heat. Chain vaping can cause liquid to darken up a lot faster. Clones take more research than authentics. I know there's a bad patriot clone, and I'm not sure the nimbus is 22mm.

My favorite clones right now are the origen, omega, and 3d..all bought from vapingtech.net.. If you don't get more responses and your thread isn't moved, repost in rba subforum. The AGI is probably my favorite. I'm using two in genesis mode, but can take off top for just use as a dripper.

My small diameter 14.5 mm IGO-F produces my best single coil vapor.
My 20mm IGO-W produces my best dual coil vapor.
My 22mm toppers seem to produce slightly lower quality vapor.
For vapor quality I prefer small chambers but 22 mm flush fit is nice at times.

Trident wire terminals are pretty handy and my 2013 build is still tight. Lately I've been using screw head to secure IGO-W coils because it stays torqued. The post hole terminal is convenient but tend to loosen sometimes.
 
bad ninja, you like your igo better than your trident?

BTW i like the way this conversation is going, I walk into different shops all the time and they seem to like my mods, ohms and cloud size but the dudes there always brag about their patriots, nimbuses and tridents.

Is it mostly just the costs of these RDA's that make them something to brag about?
Also I am not trying to insult anyone with this treat that owns other RDAs, I'm just curious as to what you like most about them.

the only thing i dont like about the igo's are that they dont sit flush on my nemi clone :(

oh, that and they get really hot

My IGO's, actually all my toppers, sit flush on all my nemi clones. My toppers don't flush fit omega clone and some other mods I have.

My hottest toppers are the single coil w/ cotton cloud and the sub-ohm dual coils but they only get hot when chained.

    I thought that's what you meant after I posted, lol. My omega clone doesn't flush vertical or horizontal so I put it in the bone yard. AGI flush fits nemi.

    Thats a shame, you should fine a mod that the Omega works on. Im not familiar with the clone, but I have the original, and if its a 1:1 like many clones are, it would be worthwhile to get it setup properly and on a mod you're happy with.

    My opinion, the Omega is one of the most overlooked atomizers on the market. If you set up the coils properly.. meaning, floating about the airholes with the rest of the reservoir packed with wick(I use silica), you have a setup where the air is drawn completely from underneath the coils, which is a feature people often pay high dollar for in other atomizers. Plus, if you learned how to rebuild on the good old Igo-L(like me lol), then securing wires by catching them under the screwhead is actually better and easier once you get the hang of it.

    I have the Omega 18650 mech mod clone. Wish I had Omega topper. It looks nice.
