I really love my aga t-2--if it were not for the pyrex tank, I would take it to work. I had a previous post on how I coiled it. I am doing a couple of different things. I think it is a clone tho... everyone elses have brass thumb-nuts-- my fasteners are little hex nuts. I am trying to refrain from using my needle nose pliers on anything except the top hex nut... to save on insulator wear and tear.
I am still using a screwdriver--3/32 to wrap the coil. The screwdriver gives me consistent results. Take coil off of screwdriver. Hit it w a Bic flame to heat set. Put coil back on screwdriver and tug it again
I am using 30/30mm mesh--I think it is 400. 500 worked for me too. Make a little fold on the outside edge, like the tutorial vids so as to eliminate shorts. I am using a 21g phlebotomy needle from work to wrap the mesh. A sewing needle or large safety pin would work too. I have this steel caliper from Ace hardware--rolled mesh to 2mm.
Put wick(with needle still inside) into coil. Even up wraps.
Make sure coil is snug on wick but not tight. Install coil/wick onto device. I do pos post first, since it is more difficult. I leave needle into wick, keeping wick straight up and down. Then attach neg post.
Rsst, Aga t2 i did identical. 1.98 Ω. I was amazed.
O yeah, take needle out before you ohm out or fire the device. I barely had to poke the coils with my pick to get them to glow nice c no hot legs.
Battery C ratings--are these 'constants' listed somewhere?? I am thinking about taking another stab at my Aga TD this wknd. I do not wish to go less than 1.0 Ω. I have Efest button top 2000 mah 18650 and flat top efest 18650. 1600 mah. I dont plan on vaping on this thing very much. I just want to see if i can get a good coil set up going. I have 32,30, and 28 g wire. Anything that I ever tried to do w the 28 g made the attys hot and the juice seemed to have a burny taste.
Thank You in advance
None of these techniques are my own...there is a wealth of information, on YouTube and ECF. I adapted techniques that I learned from videos posted by Pbusardo, eHuman, and RIPTrippers on Youtube. Petar K on Vimeo. GeekGirlVaper on multimeter use.
