Problem solved! well... my dumb ... just didn't have the tank screwed tight, didn't know how it worked. gonna keep at it, vapor is better now

edit: I did it!!!!! That wasn't that hard! It's so... smooth. Flavor seems a little muted, probably my coil/wick technique. It's amazingly smoother than cartos, I had to up my nic and pg to make it hit harder, wow this is amazing.

Here's my opinion. I thought the draw was loose when I first got my AGA T2. Was my first Genny. Another user suggested to drill out the air hole. I thought.....huh? After doing that seemed to me the vapor production intake during draw increased. Hits seemed larger. It is a different type of draw and if you arent use to it, it seems a bit loose. But it is my favorite vape right now after it grew on me a bit.

Well, looks like I just spent 4 hours and this is the most fruitless piece of .... I have ever spent my time on. It wasn't wicking well so I rebuilt. It glows nice and evenly. Back to low vapor production. I tried wrapping it with more coils, perfectly spaced, tight and loose, I made a new wick, oxidized the .... out of it, made the wick solid and straw, loose and tight, ....ing piece of .... it won't work. I wish I knew the science behind why this doesn't work. I'm considering wasting another week of RBA-abuse, tasting this ....-air vapor hoping it will work, or just selling it. I thought this would be perfect, rebuild your own atties for so cheap, and it works better. Yeah, well not this one. I am so frustrated, these should be called the impossible atomizers, fruitless waste of time. I'll take a close up pic when I'm not so mad about it.

Same here, I can't put my finger on it.. I wrapped a tight 500 ss mesh wick, as much as would fit into my DID atomizer's wick hole. Dry burned the 4 wrap 30g kanthal wire to even out all the hot spots so it glows evenly. Filled it up, set the voltage to 4.5 (any higher and the juice tastes burnt) the steel cap of the DID turns hot as hell so I know the coils are burning but I'm lucky to get some vapor coming out of my mouth after hitting it for a solid 10 seconds, FFS, what's the deal? I'm seriously begging to think it's the ProVari, I set this build up as perfect as it gets, I bet if I had a mechanical mod my room would be full of smoke by now..

4 wrap of braided 32 Ga kanthal .6 ohms with 2mm 7x7 wire rope topped with XC-116 as my wick. The airhole is enlarged to 3/32". This one puts out clouds. I do have to tilt it because of how low the ohms are on it. very minimal leaks, maybe a drop or 2 over the course of a day. Taste is on point too.
