MonicaRae!!! HI !!!!!! Glad you found us. We just opened this thread today so I am extra happy about it. How are you?
Just so you know, I have not built a coil yet so I am going off all the reading I have been doing for months. I am on the wait list for a Russian 91% so I will be feeling your pain soon.
One thing you have to consider: dual coils is a new thing in vaping and is all the rage right now. What is trending is always the best (sarcasm). People have been vaping on single coils for years and been quite happy with their vapor and flavor. I have been told that doing single coils on an Igo-W is fine and will work just fine. I think you need to find the right type of build for your flavor and vapor preference. I have been reading about micro coils, they look easy and people swear by them and they are a long lasting single coil build. People are saying they are getting several weeks out of one coil and just changing the cotton.
What gauge wire and type are you using? How many wraps? What diameter drill bit? Is the coil lined up properly with the air hole and the right distance above the juice slots? All these things are important and will affect the taste and quality of the vape. There are so many moving parts to answer you that I do not know.
All I can do is point you to a few threads where you can read more and better info specific to coil building. The micro coil thread, the Kayfun and Kayfun lite thread, the Russian 91% thread. There are many more. I do not know what is the best, I am still trying to learn that myself. Of course everyone says their build is the best. I think it is trial and error in the end. You try one more or one less wrap. Different gauge wire. Cotton or silica.

Sorry I could not give you a better answer to your question. Don't forget to come back and chat with us. Glad to see you. Sounds like you are holding your own which is a good thing. You will get there in your own time.
I'm not even sure if this is gonna post right. I never use tapatalk (is that what the app is called?) its a little confusing. Ive lurked on this thread for the longest finally decided to post....something.
Thank you ShariR for leading me here I honestly thought I was the only person here who still smoked (of course trying my best not to.) I started vaping almost a year ago & yes I still have a few cigarettes a day sometimes its 5 some days it can go up to almost 10. I think it makes it harder that I live with a smoker & he thinks my "vaping" is silly.
Off topic question only cuz I was reading a little bit of the posts. If I build a single coil on my igo-w does it make sense its not giving off as much vapor as my iclear 16b seeing as its dual coil? I just feel like I can't get the building down very frustrating.
Thanks 4 the thread!
