I asked for some advice on what atties to get for my eGO batteries, and while searching I decided to go from my Vision to a VAMO V2 and an AGA-T+. Thank god I got an A7 as well, because I crushed the threads on my vision on accident two nights ago.
As for the wick. I'm pretty sure I'm doing a good job on rolling wicks. It took me 2 minutes to get my first SS wick rolled, I noticed there were some silly creases in it, so I pitched it and rolled a second one. This one took me even less time, had no creases (as this time I used a long, really thing screw driver to guide the initial roll) and was tight. Though, not sure if I'm cutting these properly, what measurements do you guys use for your 500x500 mesh? Mine came out a little bit thing, had to roll it backwards in my finger tips a few light rolls to get it to fit snug against my coils.
Now, for coils. I am getting one hell of a nasty burnt hit on these coils. I have noticed that I'm (sometimes) getting a hot spot from the center post to the wick. And when I say hot, I mean it glows orange, no not red, orange. Shortly after pressing the button, almost instantly as it glows orange, the damn thing breaks. Now, I would assume that this happens because the coil is wrapped too snug around the wick, and the wire that is running from the wick to the center post is exposed to more oxygen, thus burns much hotter. Is this correct?
Also, this device seems to be poorly designed, that or I'm a damn idiot and I was hooking a coil in incorrectly.
This device has five protrusions coming from the inside, 3 screws, the positive and negative post. the negative post has a small hole near the mid point which I would assume is meant to take one end of the coil. This post, however looks to be installed facing the wrong direction. Instead of facing directly towards where the coil would be, it's at about a 60 degree angle, making having a tight line to the negative post from the coil difficult as hell. Not only is it difficult to get to, but it runs on top of a screw as well, which I'm sure has something to do with the resistance readings I'm getting around 1.2 - constantly.
As for wire gauges used, I have 28 and 32. I've had better luck with 32, but I've had more coils explode on me from the positive post using 32. With 28, I tend to get much MUCH lower ohm raitings. With both coils, I'm wrapping 5/6 coils and spacing them as best as possible. Even when (mostly) eliminating hotspots, I'm dropping below 1.2 ohms and getting extremely terrible burnt tastes.
Any suggestions?
