Advice on IGO-L AGA-T2

[Ohio Points]

OK, So I got both of my IGO-L and AGA-T2 (modified wick hole to 1/8") from the soulfree co-op ( excellent job from soulfree) and a EGO VM-AX 3-in-1 Rechargeable 1800mAh PV from fasttech on order.

My only experience thus far is with my Ego's and mini-viv's, so I'm new to this whole aspect of vaping.

I need to order some wicks and wire...would like recommendations for my set-up to get started ( exact spec. wire/wick/mesh size brand etc...), easier the better and is there a supplier where I can order both from at the same time.

Also links to appropriate videos/tutorial would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks, in advance!

#500 stainless steel mesh & 30awg kanthal seem to be the go-to for vv/vw + rba.

On my phone or I'd lost some links. Okc had a great deal on mesh last time I checked.

Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

This link for silica wick (for the IGO-L)

This link for SS mesh (for the AGA)

This link for Kanthal wire (the coil)

I have had good results from these three sellers.

Awesome choice on rba's. I have them both. The aga-t2 is butter when you pick up the learning curve. I have ss mesh 400 and the 30awg kanthal a1 is definitely where it's at. I tried 32, but 30 is much better, and people even say 28. But you can't go wrong with 30.

Also, unsure of what APV you have ( i use a vamo ) but I find getting a mechanical mod and using peter k's method for setting up these ss mesh without a torch to oxidize, is perfect and works awesome.

Just my 2 cents. good luck!

You looking to go with mesh or silica wicking for your igo-l?

Not sure, been reading about the braided wire too, what's easiest to start with?

My recommendation: Use silica on the IGO-L at least at first. No hassle set up = immediate satisfaction (the aga-t will be a learning curve and you don't want to be frustrated with both at the same time.) 2" of 2.5mm or 3mm silica folded in half, wrap wire around silica snugly but not tight, (coil should end up at folded end of wick, you can pull the ends of the wick to adjust), even out the coils and install on igo-l.

When you wrap a coil where both leads end up pointing in the same direction, one wire lead will come off of the top of the coil and the other will come off of the bottom of it. The lead that comes off of the bottom should go on the negative post, the one closest to the outside of the rba, the lead coming off the top of the wick should be your positive. The reason I do it this way, is that your wick/coil will naturally slant at 45 degrees done like this, and the tail of your wick will naturally lay down into the juice well.

AGA-T (or IGO-L if trying mesh), 400 or 500 mesh either works fine.

Wire for both aga-t and igo-l: For use on a non mechanical PVs, I would use 30g (1st choice) or 32g kanthal. 5/6 wrap /w 30g, 4/5 wrap /w 32g.

For a step by step set up for the AGA-T. read my blog. There is no reason to settle for hot spots, bent wicks, having to use washers, poor wicking. having to leave the fill screw out etc.

you can buy kanthal coils at ebay look for temco 28ga, 30ga, 32ga is less than $10 for 100 ft. for silica wicks and ss mesh mostly online ecig shop have them all.
