My luck lately with atty's and hardware has been so hit and miss. Great when things are going well and terrible when they aren't, I haven't been able to just simply vape comforatably for over a week now. Reason being is because I keep experimenting with new pieces of hardware, ie: RBA's. I played around with a Zen a while back but couldn't get into it, plus I am a dripper, I can't be tied down to one flavor for too long! Sold the Zen and bought an Igo-L, and this thing has been such a love hate relationship.
When the Igo-L works, it's fantastic. The flavor and vapor is comparable if not better to an HH.357, it really pumps out the vapor and the flavor is bang on and extremely clean. But I can't ever seem to get a coil to last more than a few days before the vapor becomes non-existant or I just start getting the nastiest dry hits over and over to the point where I need to take it apart and wrap a new one.
I've wrapped about 5 or 6 coils and only 2 of them worked for only a few days. I thought I had it all figured out, too, I kept the coil at the height of the center posts, lots of silica to soak up the juice, aligned the air hole with the wick for maximum vapor and flavor. But alas, I wrapped a new coil last night doing the above methods and alls I get are nasty, nasty dry hits. The only thing I can think causing this is that it only came out to a 1.2ohm coil, but I vape it at 2.9v. Not sure what my problem is.
So long story short, I take one step forward but twenty backwards. I get so frustrated with the igo-l that I revert back to the HH.357 which just doesn't do it for me anymore (sharp draws and spitting juice gets old fast) either does a joyetech atty, etc. I eventually just settled on a carto last night for ease of use and decent flavor/vapor.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Any reommendations for another dripping RBA that performs well and is easy to setup? I really like the idea of the RBA's, I just can't seem to figure it out, if I wrap the same coil and setup everytime but have varied results with each one it leaves me clueless haha
