Aga (Hydra?)--Workingman's Vape

[Annie56]

So I have tried several devices to vape with, during my lengthy commutes to-and-from work, and for vape-breaks during graveyard. Kanger Protanks look nice, and seem like a good idea on paper. I discovered, however, that I detest the taste of silica,and that rebuilding and/or rewicking the coil w cotton is just as much hassle for me as building a genesis-style atty--and not nearly as much fun, or as tasty.

Rsst's are great for on the go--plastic tank so I don't have to worry about shattering the tank. The vape is kinda on the cool side for me. After I got over the learning curve of the AgaT2, I found that I REALLY loved the vape, just not the glass tank (have not broke one yet, tho). I got a couple Aga S, with drilled out air holes from Kidney Pincher.

I liked the Aga S vape. I did not like the teeny weenie tank size, or the flimsy connection between the friction cap and the device.

So as a Chrismas gift for myself( since I'm working Christmas) was a pair of the full-size 3ml Aga Stainless Steel Tank gennies, with drilled out airholes, from Kidney Puncher.

These things bloody RAWK!! I set them up 5wrap, 32 Kanthal, 400 oxidized mesh, 30mm by 60mm solid wick. I made a cut on the tank end of the wick, and fanned it out per pBusardo/Ninja. It doesnt seem to matter where the airhole is positioned when I screw on the cap. Maybe because the cap is sorta conical, maybe because of the drilled out airlole. I remember the position of the wick with respect to the little designs and vent holes on the mod, when I vape it. I highly recommend the Aga, if you like commuting with a gennie.

Merry Christmas and May There Be Peace On Earth

I rebuilt these Agas today. 6 wraps 28g Kanthal, 1.1 Ω. Vaping them on mechs. OMG this build vapes delicious!! A side note--inflamed (engrossed?) by another viewing of a pbusardo tutorial, i tried to hand wrap this build on a completely unoxidized wick on the Rsst. After popping a few coils, I was able to get a six wrap 28g unoxidized setup on the Rsst. I am using it at home. The whole wrapping on the wick, on the device is still alittle new to me, but I really like doing the coil this way. I want to get to a point where I can wrap a coil on the Aga, with no or very few hot legs or shorts. When I learn exactly how much tension to put on the wire, i am going to try unoxidized pulse out on the Aga.
