AGA T2 / Muted Flavor and Not much vapor

[mazterpr]

Ok guys .... this is what I got:

AGA T2
Kanthal 28
400 SS Mech
50/50 juice

Oxidize mesh
bottom cut diagonaly
7 wraps 1.1 ohms
No hot spot
Flavor is muted and my vapor production and th is really bad....

Second attempt and same thing.

I follow busardos tutorial and can not get it to works correctly.

What I'm doing wrong?

what flavor juice are you vaping? also what device are you running the AGA-T on?

 

[mazterpr]

Bobas bounty 50/50 on a SVD

 

[Texasman2011]

what voltage and/or wattage do you have it set at.

 

[mazterpr]

I start it at 3.5V up to 6V and nothing ... changed to Watts and did the same thing from the lowest to the highest same thing!!

I don't own an SVD but can it handle that low of ohms?

 

[mazterpr]

It can go up to 1.0 ohms lower that it gave me an error.

 

[Texasman2011]

that's definitely weird. wondering if it is the juice. do you have other juice that you can use? if that doesnt help then i am stumped.. Good Luck

 

[Paul.K]

I see. So you are basically at your limit then. Any chance of trying it with a slightly higher resistance? Maybe just one more wrap?

What batteries are you using? Name brand and IMR or protected?

Your regulated PV is struggling to provide the right amount of voltage for such a low ohm atomizer. Go up in resistance on your coil to where your setup can really shine.

I suggest making a 2.o ohm coil with 30 g wire. That's what I use on my AGA-T2's on a Provari. When they're working optimally, I get excellent flavor and vapor production at 3.6 - 4.0 volts. This takes about 6 - 7 wraps of wire, which is good because you want more surface area of coil to make more vapor, and this gauge will heat faster than 28 gauge.

It can take up to a tankful of juice before your wick/coil is properly "seasoned".

do i need to drill the air hole of the cap?

do i need to drill the air hole of the cap?

Only if you think the draw is too tight. I drilled mine and regret it as it's a bit too airy for me.

How much bigger did you go with the air hole. I haven't dared to do mine yet

 

[Paul.K]

I used 1/16". I believe that's about 1.5mm. I liked the draw better stock size which I think is 1mm.

 

[mazterpr]

ok i will try to make an 2ohm coil.. dont know how cause to get those 7 wraps was like hell ...

thanks you guys!!! will post my progress

 

[Texasman2011]

Good luck. you can also change the AWG of the wire that you are using to help you.

I have my aga T'2 on a 3/4 wrap with 30 gauge kanthal....I leave the fill hole open to help with airflow....Id wait on drilling out the airhole its going to give you less flavor

I am using a ATA-T2 right now filled with Boba's Bounty. The coil I have is 400 SS mesh at 2.1 ohms. On a VV/VW device It is set at 9W 4.34V and the flavor is amazing and the vapor production massive. I can put it on an ego twist and it performs just as well with starting with low voltage and increasing to find the sweet spot.
I know when I first got the AGA-T2 I had to play with the coils and for me personally found that 1.8 to 2.1 worked very well. As you know if you play with the coil you may get the "wandering ohm" syndrome. As far as the coil mesh I found that tightly wrapped mesh (no "straw" hole in the center) provided better capillary wicking to the coil. You might try tipping also to feed the juice if that is your problem.
My advice, at least what I did was experiment, build a few coils with different wraps and wrap techniques like free wrapping or using a drill bit, watch a lot of videos on coil building and have fun with it don't get discouraged. It is a great genesis style tank and you will succeed; and when you do the fun begins.
One video I highly recommend is Z-Atty-Pro - Rebuildable Tank System V2.1. This is a step by step setup and even though it is a Z-ATTY Pro you can use the techniques on your AGA-T2.

Baditude's advice is right on the mark check out the referenced links.

Ok i tried again and did 9 wraps .... only 1.0 ohms ..... should i get a 32g kanthal?

 

[Texasman2011]

9 wraps with only 1.0 ohm? i use 34awg and with 4 wraps im at 2.5 ohm. what awg wire are you currently using?
