i rebuilt my aga-t like 4 times already and i keep having the same problem with it getting hot and burning my mesh. i cant fix this problem ?!? help !!?!?

In addition to the advice above...you have a hot spot. The AGA-T is notorious for hot legs and can be extremely frustrating to coil. Try and make sure the coil is touching the wick but not tight and make sure both legs of your coil (the parts that connect to the terminals) are the same length.

you are not alone on this mesh is a very difficult thing to set up. Even for a veteran it can be agrivating .

One little mistake and the whole thing taste burnt crap.

I am by no means a neewb and I am an experianced builder with genny and dripper style attys also protanks and evn I have swayed away from mesh.

What happens is you will try a hundred times to get that perfext coil set up and when you do its great ten u bump or drop your mod the wire moves slightly and its never the same . Even if it last long enough for you to have to pull the mesh out to clean putting it back in the exact same spot is near impossable and again uour stuck fixing hot spots and sutch

I sqitched to cotton for ease of use and it works fine in horizontal and vertical setups in gennys. And there is no need to worry about hot spots .

I juzt got tired of that whole meah setup and fiddle ordeal now I just pull the old wick out dry burn the coil and stuff a new piece of cotton in ... Done

lmacias, I'm pretty sure you are getting shorts.

That's a great video crxess! IMO the only down side is that he didn't have any shorts to deal with :shock:. The pbusardo video is here. Starting about minute 37 he goes over pulsing to get rid of shorts. Now, he calls this the pulse method and includes in it that you don't oxidize your mesh. I do it this way and love it, but YMMV. The pulsing process though is a great aid to get rid of shorts even if you did oxidize your mesh which I would suggest a newbie do at least at first.
