First build and thoughts on the UD Aga-t7

Perhaps this RTA doesn't belong here, as one could say it isn't high end. However, the machining is up to those standards, and the vape sure meets those expectations as well. It has a beautiful polished finish, perfect threading, gold plated 510 positive pin and disc for the two positive posts. I can't believe I only paid $20 for this! The flavor is every bit as fantastic as several other attys I own.

Pros:

1. Flavor!
2. Machining quality
3. Glass tank
4. Top fill
5. Afc ring has just the right amount of tension. It moves easily, but stays where I put it
6. Adjustable airflow. More a mouth to lung atty, but full open couldn't be considered tight. I have it about 2/3 open right now after trying different settings.
7. Price!
8. Definitely a unique and innovative design. I've never seen a deck like this.

Cons:

1. Top fills using a tiny grub screw. So will be a pain to fill. Could also lose it very easily. I need to source some extras.
2. Not quiet. Maybe slightly quieter than the Erlk.
3. Extremely tall! With the dt I put on, its as tall as my black copper Stingray in 18650 mode. So it dwarfs a mech in a smaller configuration and makes an 18650 mech into a light saber, lol! It will go onto a regulated mod as soon as I have a new one.

My build

I must admit, this deck had me stumped for awhile. There are two short posts across from each other, one positive and one negative. And two tall posts across from each other, one positive and one negative. I finally decided to stack my coils so they would both be over the airhole. I also wanted a fairly big diameter as I thought leaking might be a problem. I used two 2.5mm coils, 28g, 7 wraps. Total resistance was 0.9ohms.

I put the lower coil on first and set it at a diagonal to make it easier to wick. I checked it on my ohm meter, then lit it up on the mod because I knew once the second coil was in place I wouldn't be able to tweak it again.

Then I set the top coil right over it and set it diagonally in the opposite direction, so I had an X.

I felt I should wick it Eviva-t style; basically, make a nest with my wicks. Bottom coil's wick:

Then I did the top coil. I also cleared the wick away from the 4 juice slots a little.

Primed it, checked the vapor, assembled tank, filled and am enjoying immenseley :)

The verdict? If you can live with the cons, buy it! It ranks right up there in flavor. I don't know what other builds I may design for this, but I'm sure I'll be experimenting.

Let us know what differences you find between the #1 fluffy and #2 dense...... I assuming just from my own logic? that if your juice is thinner 50/50 or less? the dense would be good, and if your juice is thick the less dense or fluffy would be better?
Yeah, makes sense. Ill definitely chime in with my experience. I'm still not sure which of the two Sedge sent me as a sample. Glad it arrived today though, every last fiber (hehe) of the Fiber Freaks went into the GT2

So fellow tank atty freaks...... YES we are some of the weirdest.........

I caved in and got some of the Fiber Freaks from the Vape Goddess....Nice packaging, business cards and stickers with a Vape Goddess looking alluring..... Also a juice sample......

So finally one of my atties needed rewicking and it turned out to be the Odysseus...... I figured why not.......

Im amazed at how wonderful it is performing, long hit after long hit.......Larger, denser , billowy clouds.

Taste is the same now, first couple draws were a bit dryish, not dry but not as moist..... Opened up the juice control a tad and its pretty close to the Phenomenonand Tilemahos in taste. THe Tile and Phenom are pretty much the most intense flavor tank atties..... THe Spheroid and Heron are exclusively filled with thick full VG black gross NETs and perform amazing too.

My Poor little Fatty V2 doesnt get much use, except when tasting something new.......

I hadn't used my PhenomenoN for ages and you reminded me I had it :laugh:so I built it with the zest deck and put some Lenola Cream in it. Honestly before, I had thought about why I had it and maybe I'll post it on the classifieds. That thought quickly disappeared with the first drag and exhale:D It does have some intense flavor and I like it right along with my Taifun GT I used last night and fogged out my car. I admit with the higher VG juices I have been using lately I think dems86 is right in liking it better than the Kayfun4 :) I like them all tho and I need to use all of them more :( I am lazy when it comes to crazy or harder builds...hint, hint the RoseV2. I tried to master the vertical coil like roxynoodle showed on an earlier post and I have a hard time getting the wire in the post hole correctly:facepalm: I need to definitely re-visit it and try harder next time around :) I have to agree with Sedge in all of them bring something different to the table and his choice in atomizers is top notch in my book. All with a ton of pro's and few cons :D

I really dislike the orchid v1.5. I waited over 3 months to recieve it in a preorder, I've now had it about 3 months and i barely use it. I also Jane an aqua2, kayfun4, taifun gt2, kayfun lites etc.... and the orchid just doesn't compare to any of them imo. I just can't seem to get it to wick properly, either dry hits are flooding. I've ran the wick ends in the juice channels, I've just set the wick ends on the deck like a kayfun lite. Nothing works for me.

What are your filler measurements?

you mean dimensions for the filler?
Just got to play with it... I think Quorax did a photo of setup with dimensions but
the stuff is very forgiving, and can be crammed in pretty good.
You don't want holes or gaps and the filler should be right to the brim, which can be tamped down some too, as you go along.
It will hold about 3ml juice... I use a dropper and about a good 5 full droppers.

One sheet of filler can make more than you can use especially since you can rinse it out too.

- if i can do it... etc :)

I'm not sure how different that deck is to mine, but I did a build tutorial on it last week, in this thread.

I cut my fluff for the P2 so it fits exactly on that stem width wise, and long enough to go exactly once around inside the tank. Once I had it, I cut several pieces the same size.

Skin, send me your Rose base, and I'll coil it and send it back. Really :)

I eyed it and started cutting :laugh:

Once you fill it (juice it), prime the new wick, and vape, you can semi-refill with a full dropper or two right through the d/t if you tilt it so the juice won't go down the air hole, let it soak in a few seconds and keep 'er goin!

I was wondering why the mail has been so slow lately and came across this :( It's a shame. I would just prefer to pay more for faster service but my 2 day priority's are taking forever :(

How the new service standards may slow down much more mail than the Postal Service is saying | Save the Post Office
Just another reason while I will continue to pay twice as much if necessary/available and ship with anyone else besides USPS. Unfortunately not everyone offers the choice

Thank you very much for your generosity, but I'm going to have to learn the vertical coil on my own. I can't ship it to you every time I need a coil changed. With shipping the way it is, it would take almost a month both ways :p
