Quick IGO-L question .. (Drilling out air hole)

[NikZak]

I drilled mine out to 2.0mm but it's still a little too tight for me, am going to buy some 2.5 and 3.0mm drill bits on the way home from work tonight (cobalt of course) and try the 2.5 for a week and see if I like it

I paid over twenty bucks for the glass cap for my igo-w and I hate it. It has two HUGE air holes.I've took in all the air I can before the coils get heated up good

give your coils a bit of a head start, wait until you hear/see them start ripping before you begin to draw

I have an Igo-l and I have a 3/16" hole in it. I lung hit pretty hard though.

The igo l and w have small chambers which are great for flavor but can be hard to do low builds in without getting hot hits. My igo w that I use for subohming has massive holes, 2 holes probably just over 3/16. if you go with a larger chamber like the patriot the hit does not feel quite as hot. on the patriot I have 1/8 holes @ .25ohm, super dense clouds with little heat issues

My question for you folks is ... Did anyone else feel the draw was kind of tight on these as they come from the factory, and did you feel the need to drill your air hole out slightly?

Thanks,
Ron

Not a cloud chaser so 1.5mm worked pretty well for me on the Igo-l.
Performs similar to what you describe the 1/16 does for you Ron. Seein' as how that's only 0.0034" smaller than yours not much of a surprise.
I might could try 2mm hole, that's the next size larger cobalt bit I have but, again for my use, that might be a bit much.

honestly, if you're a lung hitter, 2mm is still a little tight, great for mouth to lung hits though, much better than the stock hole

that's why I'm enlarging it shortly, I'm a bit more of a lung hitter and the 2mm hole is still a little too tight

if you use bits like the ones i mentioned you can go to whatever size you want, no need for jumping from 1 to 1.5 to 2 to ...

and if any of yall are at that size that makes that annoying whistle, try to round the edges after you drill the hole out

I go back and forth, mouth hit, lung hit. Depends on mood and drink. Beer = lung hit, bourbon = mouth (-;

same here, after moving to lung hits it was nice but I ended up getting and origin rda to do mouth hits again.
