Have any of you custard fans tried the Moon Mountain one? I like a few of their other juices, just curious.
Thank you...........it took me so long to get it right. I thought that 2 minutes was never going to end.
Anyone want to help me.........or more to the point, stop me from throwing away my IGO?
I only have regulated mods so sub ohming is out. The flavor is good on these but my wife's asthma inhaler produces more clouds than my IGO. I am not cloud chasing by any means but what I have done so far is pretty pathetic. So far, I have only done a single micro. I tried to do a dual and the ohms were too low to make a second one so I gave up. I used cotton but a lot of it to wrap around the tray of the IGO. I assumed it had to be that way. Also, I don't quite understand the holes in the posts. Do I have wrap them through the hole and around it? If I do a dual coil, would I even use the hole?
I am not looking for magic or "competition clouds" but it would be nice to see better performance than a cigalike carto.

Edit...now I'm cracking up cuz our saloon is called the "Dead Saloon". Which, ya, it's kinda dead cuz now it's closed. LMAO! This poster is priceless.
Wish I could help you--but I don't have one of those. Maybe the experts will show up soon and give you some tips!
I live to serve..............
No worries if not. I don't want to get hammered by the people in the RDA forum and if no one knows, it will make a nice helmet for my GI Joes
Which version of the IGO? Got a picture of your setup?
EDIT: I have an IGO-T and I am very happy with it.
We can help homie. Let's see what you're working with (pics) and I'll see what I can do.

the W? the non titanium version.
I don't have a pic on me now but I could probably get one later if that helps. It fires, it works.....it just stinks.

A couple of things:
I drilled out my air holes to 1/16". Not sure about the W, but the T came with tiny air holes. The bigger holes helped improve the flavor, and the vapor quantity.
You running a single coil, or double coils? I find when I run single, it is very important that my ohms be in the 1.3-1.6 range. The higher ohm coils just don't seem to do as well. With my duals, I try to get it right on 1.2 or 1.3 ohms.
Here is a pic of my dual coil set up on the IGO-T, which is much like your IGO-W. This dual coil is exactly 1.2 ohms. At 4.2 volts, it is amazing.
30 guage wire, wrapped around a 3/32" diameter bit, each coil is 2.4 ohms, organic cotton wick.
Make sure your air holes point directly to the coils! Very important!

Your picture helped. The kid with the big holes in his ears at the B&M "was sub ohming man!" (not that there is anything wrong with young kids and huge earrings)
First, I am using too much cotton. I did drill out the holes to 1/16 on each side; I didn't mention that but read it somewhere. I did not point the air holes at the coil.
My coil was 1.5 but a single. Do you find the dual coil works better?

YES!
It is noticeably better. So much so that I never use my single coil drippers any more. I have this one, and a Helios clone. I love them both. Make sure you build a couple of coils that are 2.4-2.6 ohms, and closely match each other. You should not get any burned flavor at 14-15 watts if the wick is done properly. Don't let the wick block your airflow in any way, and make sure both of the tails of the wick get into the well, so liquid is brought into either side of each of the coils.
I run mine at about 15 watts with dual coils, maxing my ProVari out.
So, the elementary questions are this.
Do the coils need to match exactly or just be in a .4 range?
By airflow, the only air flow are the holes on the outside?
When you make dual coils, do you just use the screw at the top of the center post for both ends of either coil?

I just make sure both coils have the same number of wraps and close to the same tail length from the posts.
You want the air flow holes to be in line with the coils. If you were to shine a flashlight through an airflow hole, you'd see the "center" of the coil.
Yes, the center (pos) post gets two tails, each outer post (neg) gets one tail.

I like for each of my two coils to be within 0.1 ohm of each other. If they are off more than that, they wont carry the load equally, and you will get reduced vapor output from the higher resistance one.
EDIT: This is not an issue if I make them with the same number of wraps and the same diameter, BTW, but I do check. When you get them both hooked up, they should glow in a fairly even manner when you pulse them. Make sense?

I have 28g and 32g wire but the 32g is harder for me to work with.......not impossible but harder.
So, I am sure from Ed's pic that I am using too much cotton, I am not putting the air holes in the right place, should probably make a dual coil.............and I think I might be underpowering too.
Does a position high or low matter? Even with the top screw, halfway down?
