Anybody knows of an rba smaller than the aga-t but not as small as the igo-l?

There's Mini AGA, the AGA-S. But stainless steel only, can't see juice level... Vapingasia dot com does carry it before, but now gone... Other than AGA, I dunno...

Ericska, thanks for the tip, I like what I see, I guess the liquid level can be seen from top holes at least?
This is for a Gus mod I ordered.

Top holes? I don't think so... Stick in a toothpick like you check your car engine oil will do I think. :D

warning on AGA-S or Satyr. they work really really good but not being able to see the liquid level is a big problem due to their small tank.

Stick in a toothpick like you check your car engine oil... so you have to carry lot of toothpicks with it every time. :D


P/S: I like your signature, can't stop laughing with it. :lol:

ericska finally my aga is here.. might have to bug you for a moment.. what size drill bit should i use to wrap a coil for the aga t2..? and how big should i cut my mesh to roll... Thank you..

Ah... I never measure them. I don't use drill bit, just the stainless steel rods from bicycle or motor-bye wheel spokes. Probably 2.5mm I think, roll the mesh on the rob as long as it can fit in the wick hole will do.

Ok, here how I usually set up my dual wick method.
Cut 2 pieces ss mesh, one 40mm x 15mm for inner wick, and 40mm x 20mm for outer wick. Leave NO FRAY on the edges. DO NOT OXIDIZE the ss mesh, just cook them, 15mins, half hour, an hour, as you like.

Then prepare some 100% cotton wool(definitely must use 100% cotton).

Roll the bigger mesh on the steel rod as tight as possible, if there's is fray at the edges, cut it with scissor. Then roll(or wrap) a thin layer of cotton wool, one or two drops of juice to prevent it get furry. Don't forget to test whether it can fit in the wick hole or not. For the smaller mesh, roll it small and leave it, later you will have to roll it again to insert into the outer wick.

Connect one end of your coil on ground post. (That's a 32g Kanthal A1 wire from Legadgets.com, but 30g will be the best IMO.)

Insert the rolled mesh and cotton on steel rod into the wick hole. Then start wrap your coil around it, not too tight no too loose. I usually did 5 wraps and get 1.8-2.0 ohms. If you like high ohm, 6 or 7 wraps as you like. I also did 4 wraps and get 1.4-1.6 ohms. But I like 30g with 5 wraps at 1.5 ohms.

Take off the rod, and leave no cotton wool inside the mesh. Otherwise you will found it's difficult to insert the inner wick.

Roll the inner wick size as long as it can fit inside outer wick.

DO NOT FIRE IT DRY! You will burn the cotton wool. Juice in first.

That's it! There's no need to wait for annoying break in periods. Close the cap and start vape happily. :D
Hope I am helping.

Edit: What I mean cook is boil with water. Sorry didn't explain properly... :oops::D

Nice tut there bro.. I wonder if use the cotton wool, can it be removed for cleaning purposes..? If use the cotton swabs, it can be easily remove and the wick can be reuse by wrapping new cotton swabs..

Yes it can be remove easily. I use cotton wool on ss mesh, and cotton swab on ceramic wick. Ceramic wick will be difficult to remove. I like cotton wool on ss mesh cause I can wrap it thinner and cover the mesh surface easily. You can use cotton swab on ss mesh if you like. I preferred using cotton wool because my eyes can't see clear whether I do cover the whole mesh surface. Am a middle age urchin with 300 degrees presbyopia... forgive me will ya...:cry:

its ok bro your help is greatly appreciated.. did u bore bigger holes on your wick hole.. i tried rolling a wick for the outer like you mentioned but i cant seem to be right when rolling the inner wick it just cant fit it..

Yes, I did bored my wick hole bigger for my DIY ceramic/stone wick diameter size at 2.8mm. I'd drilled it with metric size 3mm drill bit, than drilled one more time with imperial size 1/8" drill bit. Because I can't grind the stone wick smaller than 2.8mm diameter, it just kept breaking...

Bro, you don't have to follow my measurement exactly at 2.5mm... maybe you can use the smaller rod like 2.2 or 2.3mm. Or just cut the wide of your outer mesh down to 15mm, it won't effect the wicking ability, you still have inner wick helps wicking.

Hope I'm helping...
