    AGA T2 Confusion

    Wow! I didn't know you had been having problems! If I can do a SS mesh coil on an AGA-T2, *anyone* can! I'll look at your "woes" thread and see if I can't toss something into the ring that might help.

    This is shot of my "steeping shelf" in a spare closet. All the juice on the right is MBV ;)

    AGA T2 Confusion

    The evic may be limited to 2.5 amps by the software. I'm not sure if there is a firmware upgrade or not as I do not own one. Will your evic fire it under VV mode, using voltage instead of watts? Does this change the vape at all? Does your coil *still* read 1.5 ohms? Around 4 volts should...

    MT Baker Juices

    Yup! I'm a big fan of MBV too. The only way they could be faster is if they used a time machine. The joke is that a highly modified DeLorean has been spotted parked out back ;)

    To RBA or Not to RBA - Please convince me

    I REALLY want to read/watch/hear as UN-biased review as possible of the taste and wicking differences between xc-116 and good ol fashioned silica of the *same* thickness in the same atty at the same resistance. In other words, a side by side comparison. I understand why xc-116 is being touted...

    Sigelei Kicked - Have anyone tried this?

    No, the Vamo comparison is more accurate. The kick adjusts voltage to provide a consistent wattage, which is what VW mode on a Vamo does, and also where the Vamo excels since it can be adjusted all the way up to 15 watts. The Provari is only variable voltage...

    Are fancy $100+ mechanical mods a waste of money if you're still working with vivi novas and protanks?

    I'll respectfully disagree. You should clean *anything* that gets exposed to the elements, finger prints, and/or e-liquid. A warm soap bath is for my cats and maybe my wife, if she's in the right mood ;) . My mechs (and all my other batteries) get cleaned with a polishing cloth and everything...

    So what's the deal with RBA's?!

    I can't speak for ALL genesis and no one else should either. While they are similar in design they are not identical in operation. I carried a mech with an AGA-T2 and a Vamo with an AGA-T2 with me to work today. One stayed in my coat pocket and the other was either in my hand or my front...

    So what's the deal with RBA's?!

    The problem with smaller is that you have less room for BIG coils and wicks! I'll end up picking up at least a few of those too but for $8 (or less) the Smok RDA is hard to beat... not just in performance but in ease of *rebuilding*. Just my :2c:

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    I'll second that. I use an AGA-T2 at 1.1 ohms with ss mesh and a Smok RDA dripper at 0.9 ohms with 3 x 3mm wicks of silica. Those numbers aren't just arbitrary, at least not for me. Those seem to provide not only an excellent vape but also the most consistent one, during the span of the...

    User friendly RBA setups?

    I dunno... I chain vape like a steam locomotive some times. I love the flavor and vapor in my drippers but "friends don't let friends drip and drive" ;) (and I DO occasionally drive for a living)... that's the whole reason I got into RBAs in the first place. I wanted a tank that would hold...

    Thrilled to be here, need advice/feedback

    And THAT is the right attitude to have too, IMHO! Friends of mine have asked me, since I finally quit smoking when am I going to quit vaping too? I tell them I quit smoking, after 25+ years but I did not entirely give up my nicotine. I may quit vaping one day... my nicotine level has dropped...

    User friendly RBA setups?

    My local ACE hardware store :) Smallest compression spring they had in stock (would still like a bit smaller and in brass or copper) and the smallest washer I could find in either metal too. Works pretty well. I'm not fighting three nuts at one time any more. Thinking about chucking the...

    More Celebs starting to vape....

    Any other "Defiance" fans catch the blue "crystal" glow of a cig-a-like in one of the earlier episodes? It's the way of the future!!!! ;)

    Show us your Plume!

    LOL! The other day I was practicing taking good still shots of large "plumes" (an art to be practiced, in and of itself!) with a mech and my 0.9 ohm Smok RDA. I usually vape like 9mg of mostly VG in it, MBV's "Cinnamon Roll" that day to be exact, and a bit light headed from my first few...

    Question: Is it the lower the ohms, the more juice u will use, and vica versa?????

    YUP! That's the missing piece to this puzzle I think! Two completely different designs. If the Vivi Nova, at roughly the same resistance as the Evod, is going through more juice in the same amount of time then it would stand to reason it's producing more vapor too ;)

    User friendly RBA setups?

    I love it. I try to keep my Vamo from getting lonely so I wrapped a coil that could go on it too (1.5 ohms, use it on both) but between that 1.1 ohm AGA-T2 and a 0.9 ohm Smok RDA that Sigelei #8 gets much more of my love these days :) I'm not sure I could have stumbled into a better first...

    My signature banner is broken...

    DOH! Mine is gone too! Wasn't just cool to look at... it actually helped me through my first few days TREMENDOUSLY!

    So what's the deal with RBA's?!

    Vaping off of an A7 right now in fact, with my own coil. One of the things I like best about the A7 is that the platform that the posts are connected to? That will actually screw all the way out of there! I usually don't take it that far apart to put a new wick on it... I just raise it up...
