aga t rebuildable atomizer issue

[Winston TheGreatest]

I Need HELP......i just got aga t rebuildable atomizer tank today and i don't get much vapor. does anybody know why there's not much vapor? my vivi nova tank produce a lot more vapor. i wrapped the coil very evenly. i did oxidized the stainless steel mash well. What do i do to get more vapor out?

Check out Pbusardo's site, tasteyourjuice.com for a walk through on rebuilding the AGA-T's. Did you prime your wick with a few drops of fluid before trying to fire it? Several things to check, but the rebuild video there might give you some ideas of how to troubleshoot it out.

Check that your mesh does not obstruct the hole completely

You might want to post some information about how you set the AGA up.
What materials did you use?
Wick type and build?
Wire size and # or wraps?
Final ohms reading?
Device used on?

I agree with crxess, more information please.

If you use very fine mesh like #500 and at the same time very thick juice like pure VG that could cause a problem. Also check if your resistance ohm is too big compared to your voltage

[albcig]

you have a high resistance

Need more info like device used, pg.vg ratio etc.

i used stainless steel mash that came with the tank and 32awg wire. i wrap 4 times and got 2.8ohms. I use with provari and setup to 5.2V.

Did you roll your wick solid or hollow? Should be solid.

Did you get hot spots on dry burn?

take the fill screw out and see if that helps..and tilt it up

Here is one of many AGA threads:

eHuman's blog has several *excellent* posts in it on how to get the most out of a genesis style atomizer (AGA-T+/2, etc.)

I built mine with the included mesh and ended up using 32 gauge as well after I promptly popped that mystery gauge wire included with it. My latest wrap for it reads out at 2 ohms so I can even use it on an eGo if I like. I leave the fill screw out for better wicking and I carefully drilled the airhole out to 1.5mm from the OEM 1mm. I run 50/50 juice mostly and while it takes a second to get cooking good (I take a single primer puff, release the power button, hit it again) I get HUGE clouds of vapor from it. The only thing I like better for pure flavor is my A7 RDA.

Hope some research helps out.
Personally I think you need 28ga Kanthal at a minimum and wrap for around 1.5ohm (1.2-1.7)
Make sure all coils are heating equally. Pulse until even, on dry wick. Make sure wick has room in hole, not overly tight.

If China materials - Wire is probably NiChrome and Wick is 325 Mesh

I have 500 Mesh and it wicks 50/50 blends like a straw.

I tip up and let the wick fill with juice then in the middle of the pull I tip down and let it sizzle then tip back up for maximum vapor. Providing your coil is setup right, voltage set correct and no hot spots this should help.

Woww.... i got it. thank u guys. thanks for all the answers and comments. U guys are very helpful. My tank finally works. Lots of clean vapors. I replaced new mash wick and re-wrap the coil to 2.2ohms. i drilled the air hole a little bit bigger. Lots of lots of clean vapor.

i had the same problem with me aga t2. i think my problem was caused by wrapping the coil to tight around the mesh.
i scrapped the mesh wick though, because i was having problems with consistant vapes. i modded mine to use XC-116 (ceramic fiber wick) and do a U wick.
i may try the mesh wick again someday, on a backup unit though.
