aga-t and voltage drop

[albcig]

hello

does anyone know if aga-t has voltage drop issues for the negative connection. the reason why i'm asking is that when i try and connect the 2 endcaps ( the ones holding the tank ) with a copper wire, i immediately notice a boost in vape and th. unfortunately i can only do this from the outside holding the wire with my hands, but the increased performance is very noticeable. so any thoughts?

i noticed a .3-.4 voltage drop something i expected with an affordable rba. i compensated by lowering my resistance. i use a pure mechanical setup at .7-.8 ohms and love the way it performs.

this issue has nothing to do with your aga-t, but with your mechanical device itself. what mod are you using, and do you know the material used to make the +/- connections? you also said that you had a better vape when you touched the connection with a copper wire, this is true. the copper increased the conductivity of your device, thus reducing the voltage drop. So i'm pretty sure your connections are are at least brass or brass which is coated with something. You can find someone who can upgrade the pins of your mech to copper, or even silver, to greatly increase conductivity and also increase in performance. or you could try buying a high end mechanical with at least copper pins, and you could tell the difference from your mod now. Silver is even better, but the difference is not the great.

you did not say what your using. but tele is correct the mod materials make a big difference.

thanks for the reply everyone. it seems i wasn't clear about what i wanted to say and thats my fault. just to clarify i don't have any issues with the battery i'm using, or the connection betwen the battery and atomizer. so let's leave the battery apart. now the aga-t is performing very well and everything is fine, but you know how it is, why not have that extra 0.01 percent increase in performance and th.
se let's explain again what i did. i connected the 2 parts holding the tank and immediately noticed an increased th and vapor production.

this is the first time i have heard of anyone doing this, why did you ? is this a way to check efficiency or something?

Weird. *scrabbling around to find a pc of wire*

 

[jasl90]

Just tested mine... I'm seeing a 0.07 ohm difference between the measurements taken at the wire terminals and the 510 connector.

 

[albcig]

is silly i know. the reason i did this. a friend of mine has an aga-t with a stainless tank. exact setup as mine, exact coil, exact mesh, same battery. the one with stainless tank performs better. so that got me wondering.

Contact issue. Disassemble completely and clean.

The only thing that is maintaining ground with a glass or poly tank is the center post that holds the top and bottom together. Make sure that the threads are clean and screwed together tightly.

 

[StaircaseWit]

Everything that's not a perfect electrical conductor will introduce some level of resistance in a circuit.

There will be a voltage drop with any device or mod, but it shouldn't be on the order of what you're seeing.

As others said, make sure the contact points are clean.

 

[albcig]

this is precisely why i made this thread. i know that the ground contact in the aga clear tank is in the center post and that in the aga stainless tank the ground is the whole body. i wanted to know if this was something isolated in my case or if others are experiencing it too.

It's a gradual decline in performance as the tank gets gunked up. Cleaning is it's maintenance, so you are not alone, not any unusual case. Higher resistance and/or loss of volts are it's indicators.

If you pop over to the iSeason thread there is a great conversation about what actually causes voltage drops and why it might not be where you think it is as well. Just trying to promote understanding!
