Aga-T help~

[shanks]

Hi to all experts, I need some advise from you on my Aga-T. I used to be vaping from Vivi-Nova version 3 but however decided to give rba a try. Purchased one from the classified and happened to have a very nice bro here helped me to fixed up the coil and the mesh. However the taste is quite different, the flavouring doesn't come out as much compared to the vivi nova. I used the same juice to test on both and i sort of getting a blander taste (like got metal taste) on the aga-t. Troubleshoot with the bro who helped me via forum and whatsapp, everything seems to be fine just that dunno why the taste varies so much. My Vivi had broken down quite sometimes so I have not been using it... Any idea why my aga-t taste differently? Or it is normal to be like this?

You are in the sea, silly!! I'm not surprised if you cannot fire the bugger in the 1st place.

Jokes aside, it may be coil shorts. Try making the tank empty, and pulse it. If you have uneven glowing, that may be your problem right there. Just nudge and pulse, nudge and pulse. You'll get an even dull glow eventually. Then fill up, do a drag without firing, test again.

watch and follow what the guy does ... i did it right the first time just following what the guy advised. Of cos once u get familiar with genesis attys theres other methods. Complete Genesis Atomizer Tutorial (Part 1) - YouTube

Dont worry that in the videos he isnt using an AGA-T+, most genesis are the same thing.

what's been posted r all very relevant.. do go thru them again n u should be good..
e agaT is as good an atty as many more expensive ones around - almost.
I'll try to add my two cents.. if metal taste is e problem.. oxidizing of yr mesh n wires would prolly be e cause. so make sure u yr wick is properly oxidized, wet e wick with some vg let the flame burn off - repeat a couple of times.
n yr wire. if y're using e peter method, u could prolly take out the mesh first n fire just e coil till they glow. do it a few times to get yr wires oxidized, den replace e wick n try. metal taste should be gone.
flavor, taste, vapor, th, will depend on e number of coils u make.. no hard n fast rule.. get one u like.
hope this helps..

Thanks to all experts for the help/input/suggestion. I'm still using the same coil and mesh done up the bro as I doesn't have the mesh. The coil was up 4 rounds. Dry burned after each tank and no hot spots spotted. I just find that the taste is not as good as what i expected compare to vivi nova. I will post a picture of my RBA.

I had the same experience when I went into rebuildable/stainless mesh. I used up almost 1 meter square of mesh 325/400 combined, 2 meters of kanthal 28/32 combined, watched and followed religiously every youtube video I can find, rebuild over and over again and got the same 'blander and not so inspiring comparing to a vivi nova' taste. I even ripped out my vivi nova, stardust coils and rebuilt with mesh and I get the same blander taste.

So the conclusion to myself is stainless steel mesh tastes like this. Some called it 'clean', I call it 'bland'..

Again, maybe after all my effort I still didn't get it right. So RBA/mesh lovers please don't flame me I'm just sharing my experience

You pretty much summed up my exact feelings on this subject. Got my AGA-T+ wired up without hotspots, burns great, but the draw isn't as flavorful as my mini vivis (which I prefer ten-fold over full size vivi's, due to drag). I am going to rewick my other Aga-t+ with cotton and do a side-by-side test. I also have not tried rolling the "Straw-type" SS mesh wick, only tightly rolled, but it bubbles so I assume wicking is good.

Haven't given up yet though, still have more tries left in me

1sqm of mesh is a lot of mesh bro. thats 100cm x 100cm..... are u eating it??

 

[sgvap22]

To be exact, 1 piece of 1m x 1ft 325, and 1 piece of 1m x 1ft 400. I'm on my 3rd piece now so yeah, close to 1m square. Cheap bro, bought the mesh local. So can try to my heart content seeking perfection..

Using Provari with the aga-T...

Anyway, met another brother last night to see if there is anything wrong on my aga-t. Got some advise from him, went home adjust here and there on the coil...then coil snapped~ Luckily I prepared for this day to come...got Kanthal 30 last month from ebay. I never coil before as my aga was setup by another brother for me. So i did my first trial and it worked! The flavouring on my Aga-T is better than before! Will try to post a picture if possible!
