I would love to ask here since all of my friends dont have a dripper yet to give a absolute answer..
I have 18mg 50/50 liquid to vape after meal..
I've tried DCT tank before n im pretty sure UDCT just do the same thing as DCT,love the taste n mild throat hit from 18mg..but i kinda bored need to boiled a carto everytime i want to change flavor..
I want to moved to dripper since its easier to clean the flavor out of it..n Igo-L stole my attention..
So is Igo-L give a same VTF like UDCT?or...................
Thanks in advance :)

huh? when I change flavors on a carto, i just rinse it out with water through a syringe hose, then let it soak in vodka for a couple days. I think you're talking about a drip style atomizer? If that's what you're talking about, i recommend a bridgeless type. Its quicker to absorb and easier to switch between flavors.

VTF: Vapor Throat Hit Flavor if I'm not mistaken

DCT/UDCT I believe are both carto tanks from SmokTech. Dual Coil Tank or something along those lines, though it seems most I read use single coil?

I'm not too familiar with RDA (rebuildable drip atomizer) or cartotanks myself, though I am using an A7 currently. Had one that was garbage but my SS one seems to hold up well. Its very flavorful, and giving good vapor, but practically no throat hit how I have it setup.

2.2Ω Kanthal 32 Oval Coil @ 4.3v atm
Bamboo Yarn
20mg 50/50 DIY

Usually use it on an eGo Twist or SDK, but its on my Provari at the moment.

I really like the looks of the IGO-L but haven't fired on one yet.

go straight to rebuildable atomizers man... couple youtube video and youll be setting them bad boys up like a BOSS

THIS. its pretty easy once you get the hang of it. changing flavors is a cinche since theres no cotton being soaked up. flavor and throat hit are impeccable. I would recommend the AGA-T2 as a first, or a Phoenix style atomizer

There is absolutely NO way to compare the two.

The U-DCT is a carto-tank, it's performance wholly depends on what brand, resistance, coil configuration of carto you use. There's a lot of variation.

The Igo-L is a rebuildable, it's performance wholly depends on the resistance you make the coil, the wick type used, and the wire type used.

You just can't compare the two, there is not any specific way a carto-tank or a rebuildable performs, they vary according to many factors.

Not the answer you were looking for I'm sure, sorry! ;)

Although, I'd imagine if you build your Igo-L properly it will outperform pretty much any carto on the market, IMHO.

UDCT is Upgraded Dual Coil Tank, if im not mistaken. Its the same DCT but with a base lock upgrade so cartos dont slide out.

While the name is similar and the brand is the same, the U-DCT is a completely different tank than the DCT. The endcaps are different, the tube is different, the way the tube attaches to the endcaps is different, there isn't a single part that's similar between the two.

Pretty much not the answer im looking for but WOW....thats explain it so much.
DCT n UDCT is different eh?thats wondering me lol..n im sure Igo-L performance depends on the source n how u recoil it..
Maybe theres a slightly chance i find what i want in DCT to be make it on Igo-L..
Thanks so much!

Sorry! :)

Like I said before it's likely, if you are good at building coils, that the Igo-L will perform better. With a carto-tank you are restricted by what cartos are available. The tank doesn't perform, the carto does. If you use a crappy carto performance will be bad, if you use a good carto performance will be good. Think of it like a car, it will go as fast as whatever motor you put in it. With a car there are tons of other factors that would influence the performance, with a tank it's pretty much just the carto. The tank body can leak, or break, but that's about it. Everything else is the job of the carto.

With rebuildables like the Igo-L, you have tons of options on how to build it. You could use SS Mesh wick, hybrid wick with silica that has SS mesh wrapped around it where it meets the coil, full silica wick, cotton wick, cheesecloth wick. They all have their own qualities. You can use Kanthal or Nichrome round wire, or use the flat ribbon wire. You can make your coil whatever resistance you want it to be. You can do a single wrap coil or a double wrap coil. There are just so many different ways to build your own coil/wick that there isn't a set performance, it all depends on how you personally want it to perform. So it's likely, if you can build coils/wicks well, that you'll be able to tailor how the Igo-L performs to fix your exact expectations.

As for the DCT vs the U-DCT, the original DCT had black plastic endcaps, that seal to the tank tube via o-rings. Then they came out with the newer DCTs with chrome/polished metal endcaps, again attached to the inside of the tank tube via o-rings. Then they released the U-DCT, which is totally different. It has permanently attached metal endcaps that fit OVER the plastic tank tube, and are glued in place (still not sure what type of adhesive they use, and it's got me a bit worried as it's exposed to the juice) and of course the fancy carto-locking ring on the bottom. They are similar in the sense they are both cart-tanks from the same manufacturer, but no similarities past that. There are also two sizes of each style of tank, the larger ones that I've seen retailers list anywhere from 4ml-6ml, and the slimmer ones, that are about the diameter of an eGo battery.

how is the vapor production on the U-DCT ?

Exactly the same vapor production as whatever carto you decide to use with it, which still depends on the juice being used, and the voltage you run it at.;)
