AGA-T air hole?

[ricks]

Where is the best place to make a new air hole on my AGA-T? The original one does not line up with the wick and I want to know where is the best position to put it. I'm trying to find out if I should put it above, the bottom or in the middle of the wick. What do you think? I will close the old hole when I'm done.

hey ricks, have you thought of the possibility of sanding the bottom of the top cap instead of drilling? if you need for the airhole to be lowered you can just sand slightly. it may not be the best option in your case, not really sure, but something to think about.

what he said, a lot of people either sanded the cap down or added an external o ring, but if drilling i would wrap a coil to look at where it sits then put the hole about 2/3rds the way down the coil about 1 mm off center of the wick (just like a DID)but dead center is also ok

I'm afraid of losing the space that there is for the oring if I sand it down. Might take a closer look to see how much room there is.

I use a diamond sharping stone to work the caps down, then use a dremmel diamond bit to de-bur. I have done 3 this way and taken enough off to make the air hole come around as much as 2/3 of a turn with no loss of sealing area for o-rings.

I think the best route will be for me to drill out a new hole. The hole is on the opposite side of the wick currently. I just want to put it in the best position on the wick. Do you think the middle will be OK? I'm thinking that I use different length wicks and don't want any problems too. What to do???

just toss it in the drawer for a back up and get a aga t2 with orings, or now a richman or rsst lol

I like the security of the cap NOT falling off. I heard some people complain that the AGA-T2 comes off easily. I have a AGI that fits very tight.

I haven't noticed mine coming off very easily, fits pretty tight down on it. After reading about the troubles of getting the hole to line up with the AGA-T I decided to go with the T2. Couldn't have been happier. The ability to adjust the air hole is a big plus too

I ground the cap down. The air hole is now inline with the wick. It only took a tiny bit to make it work so I caved. Now I want to sand the cap to match my SS Vamo.
