.28 gauge Kanthal & The Aga-t2

[tekk]

Hey guys,

i know this is the wrong forum but I can't post in the rebuildable a section. Hopefully someone with my same problem is browsing and sees this.

So I have an Adam mod with an Aga-t2 and whenever I put .28 gauge coils on it, it fires but it straigh up melts my battery and mod. The coils light evenly and cape extremely well. But after 10-15 seconds my switch gets super hot and my bottom cap does as well.

I throw some .32 gauge on there and it doesn't cape as well and takes way more time to rid the hotspots but it doesn't melt my ..... I'm bummed man, I see everyone using .28 on their genesis.

.28 gauge: .8-1.1 resistance
.32 gauge: 1.8-2.2 resistance


thanks

30 Gauge Kanthal Wire – Vapinaze

have you tried 30 gage? im using 32, so i understand the super frustration of making the coil, especially as someone who is fairly new to rebuildable atomizers. and the relentless poking of hotspots and trying not to short it out. when it doubt, though, mechanical mod it out =D

I removed my silicone insulator cut the washer part off put a plastic washer on.
This helped to keep my pos post from moving up and down fn my coil when I snugged stuff up.
and no more shorts on 510 connect
Thinking about using shrink tubing on middle section of pos post so I can get rid of silicone nipple thing me bob.

The AGA's are touchy around the center pin at the 510 connector. Offending part shown below. Make sure it is not getting mashed against the side when it is connected to the Adam. You don't need to tighten the atty strong at all - two fingers gently should be plenty.

I have two AGA's and run them no problem in the .8-1.1ohm range.

I agree 100%. One of those must have tools for every vaper even if not rewicking. I find it really useful testing cartos and heads as they're usually not the ohms advertised.

Bump Test Test Test I have 3 multi fluke, ideal, and a little red one from harbor freight I paid 3 or 4 dollars for the red one I have tested it against the other 2 and it holds tight. I also got some additional leads from radio shack that have a little hook that make holding ur wire for testing ohms a walk in the park

So yeah...Aga, unstacked, 1 ohm, 30ga, bored out...vapes like a pro.

agree!!! i used to stack up 18350's on mechanical, burns like hell. from my personal experience, stacking 18350's is only good for vv/vw setup which i think can utilize the two batts due to its on-board chip.
