AGA-S Satyr w/friction top. Anyone else try one out?

[ardvaark]

Just got mine today. DV was out of pretty much of everything else. Except their $40+ units.
Very small little device. Just set it up with some 400 and 32g 4/5 K1. First time for me making the mesh. I read and studied here for 2 weeks before trying. Works fine. A little hot spot on the top at first, but I just kept adjusting it. Fixed it. Thank you everyone for the many instructions and videos!
Strongest(Nic hit to the brain WOW), most powerful and tasty vapor I've experienced yet. 6 or 7 good deep vapes cleans this tank out dry! This thing vapes so big I feel the flavor in my lungs! That does not happen with clearo's or carto's. I love this rba stuff! I have the AGA -T plus coming tomorrow. With a glass tank.

only thing i am little unhappy about is the cap... AGA-S first recieved i thought the cap fit pretty snug but after 1-2 tank use, cap feels.... very lose.... i can prob just fix it with better o-rings but the unit it self is really nice.

i fixed all satyr issues with cheap smoktech tank o-rings. the device is nice but i don't like the stainless tank. if u have an aga-t you can replace the satyr center bolts with that of the aga which are bigger thus eliminating the top hot spot. im gonna get more of these cheap devices cause they really work well if you tweak them a bit.

I have the screw on version. It's nice for it's size, vapor is a bit hotter as well. I stopped using it because it lacks a clear tank and I could never tell when it was low or if I was not letting it wick. If they make a clear tank version, it'd be perfect - basically an all SS Chid. It looks nice on the Zmax too.

this is the center with big bolts to avoid top hot spots. this is the oldest version not the friction one

and this is how it performs. really flawlessly except for the small tank

Agreed on the loose-ish cap. I just cut a carto condom down and slid it over the outside of the tank. Helps quite a bit. Someone mentioned o-rings from a smok tek tank? What is the part number and/or website?

i did mention the smoktek tank o-ring. if u look at the pictures i posted you will see the black o-ring in my satyr. i'm not sure if it will fit inside the cap of the new ones though

Common solution many are using is to take the existing cap o-rings off, add one wrap of dental floss to the o-ring grove and then put the o-ring back on.

A properly set up wick and adjusted coil will eliminate the hot spot even if you had 1" or more between the wick and positive post...

I used one of the included extra black o-rings for the cap. Makes it nice and snug with the black ring on top, red on the bottom. Try it, it works.

The only negative I have heard about the AGA-S is that the thickness of the plate hinders proper wicking/capillary action with a tightly rolled wick. The down side is that a loosely rolled wick also hinders proper wicking/capillary action.

I'm glad I have not experienced that. But then again, I am using that anti-gravity device I made for it . ; )

I picked up a couple of these last week. I have noticed that with a tight wick the capillary action IS impeded. It's better with the fill plug out but still not nearly as good as the aga t. Then again all I've used are old aga t wicks i had saved. Think I'm gonna re wick and coil these guys tomorrow with a more loose wick and see how that works
