IgoW need mor vapor

[Xcighippy]

Ok I got my Igo-W set up with dual micro's at .5 ohms. Cotton wicks. Drilled out the air holes to 1/16". Soak the wicks with five pawns grand master. Thought, This is gonna be great! Wrong! First hit was ok, but not great. Second pull was kinda hot and not much flavor.
after several pulls on this thing I found that if I hit it really hard Deep lung hit I can get a halfway decent cloud but the flavor is still severely lacking.
I then put on my R 91 with a single 1.2 ohm coil and the cloud and flavor are way better than the Igo. So far I am not impressed. What am I doing wrong?
Any suggestions?

Could you take a picture of the setup?

Pictures of the setup would help us help you.

You could be using to much cotton for your wicks and make sure your airholes are in front of your coils. Especially if you said you have to take huge inhales.

.5 could be too hot for the juice?

Most juice only gets better with heat... well, good quality juice anyways.

For more vapor, I think you will need more than 1/16. Try 3/32 or 5/64! Makes a huge difference IMO

More vg might help? Higher ohms? I'm using 50/50 on a .9 ohm coil of spun&twisted ribbon kanthal. Cotton wick. In a trident. Clouds and flavor are off the scale.

Good to know thanks

As posted below,you will need larger airholes.

hot spots? hows the wick to wire contact - good? or do you have the cotton a little too loose in there?

When using cotton you should always have it very snug in there, the looser you get the cotton the more prone you are to dry hits and nasty flavors (from experience).

Widen them airholes, as others have said. If you are firing low ohm you need large airholes, proper circulation will aid in a few things but the biggest one is it will produce more vapor and add to a cleaner hit. There really isn't a thing with juice to worry about, however thick juices (bobas bounty ect) will require more soaking time I have found before you vape.

Thanks for all the replys. I will try opening the air holes a little more. Right now I'm scared to even try it as my lungs are a little sore from last nights trial!
What's a good size for air holes ?

Thanks for the advice. I do think I have good amount of wick, maybe a little too much. But I have a single coil 1.2 ohm set up on another Igo and It gives me a better vape than this dual coil setup.

Just reread your post. I had no idea I would have to drill that big! I guess I'll go for it!

 

[Xcighippy]

Just drilled out the air holes to just under 3\32. WOW... awsome!! Thanks guys. All I needed was MORE AIR.
I dont know what I'd do without you guys. Thanks again!

Very cool! Glad you got it working to your liking!

I purchased my Igo-W from Captivape(when it first hit the shelves),they no longer offer the special for this RDA, with special drilled out caps,mine are 2.5mm on each side.

Wow, 2.5 mm is huge! I'm liking mine at about 2.26 mm, but...I'm already getting spoiled. I want more! I want more! So I may try it.
Only problem I have now is a problem you guys probably can't help with is I can't put the God d**** thing down now! Back in my long distant past we called it, "chasing the dragon".

I have mine at 3/32 (2.3mm?). At first I was kicking myself for going one more size up. I put a smaller bore drip tip on it and I love it now. Just fyi if you go up a size and hate it, a captivape drip tip will tighten up the draw just a bit. I'm sure there are others too, but I don't know which ones.
