    AGA-T+? Questions/Concerns...

    You'll be good with the Vamo, as its got built in protection and Ohm measurements. A multimeter can't hurt but yeah you'll be good to go Congrats on finding one :) I've got two of 'em and they are pretty much all I use these days

    AGA-T+? Questions/Concerns...

    #325, 400, 500, 600 refer to the density of holes of the mesh. So you could say 325 is 'coarse' and 600 is 'fine.' Some say that the coarser meshes are better at VG heavy juices by my #500 has never had any problem. YMMV. The best wire depends on what your going to use it on. Mechanical, 28g...

    How do take apart this clearomizer?

    I'm pretty certain they are just press fit, albeit tightly so they don't leak. Most glues wouldn't be suitable, as they need to be food grade and resilient to the liquids. I just grabbed the metal base with needle nose & gently rocked the plastic back & forth and it came off no fuss. But...

    How long do you inhale when you vape?

    Are you inhaling into your lungs directly, or are you pulling the vapor into your mouth? To my understanding nicotine is absorbed better by throat, mouth & sinuses then the lungs so it would be better to avoid inhaling all together. 7+ seconds I'd say on average, slow and long is what I do...

    How do take apart this clearomizer?

    I've done it too, and its really no more difficult than working on other replaceable heads (they are built practically the same).

    Please recommend large capacity vv mods to try

    I've read good things about the Grippers, people seem very pleased with them. There is also the iTaste MVP & Ovale v8. I think Sigelei is about to release an 18650 VV/VW box mod. Vamo is a good tube, 18350 & 18650 compatibility out of the box, VV/VW, very affordable. CVI should be in stock...

    Need a pocket, work, travel mod!

    Caravela 18350 is damned small. The Gus 18350 also looks small as hell. An SDK + Shorty Carto is about as small as it gets though.

    Ridiculous setup thread!

    Best use for those. I hate 'em with a passion.

    cleaning vivi nova

    You could, but since its toxic when consumed a lot of people avoid it and avoid recommending it. I always make sure to rinse thoroughly anything I clean with Isopropyl. That or a long air dry (but when something fabric, such as the silica wick, is involved I believe a rinse is required). I...

    Need a pocket, work, travel mod!

    Provari is solid as a rock for sure. I don't mind carrying mine around in 18650, but I could see a mini being very nice. Has survived a handful of drops, has shown some wear & tear but works flawlessly. If your into Genesis then maybe an AGA-T2? I carry mine around every where, never leaks...

    VV versus VW and OHMS. Info please.

    Variable Voltage adjusts the voltage being output to the coil, which when factored in with the Ohms of the coil, produces a certain wattage. Voltage is adjusted in .1 increments usually between 2.9 - 6 volts, which can give a touch more precision in adjustment. Variable Wattage measures the...

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    Thats what I'm thinking. I need some more #500 mesh so should probably order some before these get wonky (if they do). They'll probably still be in there until I get my ceramic wicks.

    Tubing and Vaping

    Could use a dry bag, they can be found online or at military surplus stores for cheap.

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    When does everybody else change their wick? I've been using the same #500 solid wicks in my v1 & -T2 for...I don't know how long now. At least a month. I don't notice any change in flavor or wicking ability, so haven't bothered making new ones. I'm using mostly unflavored too so that may...

    Delivery methods?

    Yep, its heat resistant so that the coil won't burn it that badly (or cut it entirely). Some are worried about inhaling silica particles, I just don't see a reason to rebuild with it myself. Cotton, bamboo & hemp are all more readily available and IMO way outperform silica in wicking & flavor.

    Provari question???

    From what I've read (as I've not messed with a sub 1Ω setup) the reason they can push so much wattage is because 28g wire doesn't get as hot as thinner wire, its not as scorching hot, so it isn't going to burn the juice like a 30-32g wire at the same wattage. While wattage is an easy way to...

    Delivery methods?

    VG is really viscous, its what thickens a liquid. Dripping is going to be the most flavorful & you'll get no dry hits as long as you top it off accordingly. But this requires adding liquid every few vapes, so not the best for driving, out in public, etc. Carto Tanks will keep your carto full...

    Do most vendors..

    A lot will. Mt Baker throws on 15ml which is the most generous I've gotten personally. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    CVI V1 Black w/350 & 650 tubes AGR Carto-Tank Carto Punch Replacement AGA-T Pyrex x4 Ceramic wicks x5 Sadly won't be ordering much for the foreseeable future, I'm only $60~ away from going into the red.

    What method of vaping gives u the best taste? (cart's, vivi's, ect)

    Genesis RBA is my preferred. Great vape & insanely cheap to operate. Next would be RDA. I've pretty much separated myself from the disposable delivery systems. I hate throwing stuff away if I don't have to. Tossing resistance wire every other week I can deal with. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire
