aga-t2 problem

That's what i thought so.. and less the hassle of torching. Another method is the partial oxidize when you only torch the top part leaving the un oxidized in tank.

That's a much easier method. Good way to get started and save your batteries a whole lot.

Many of the guys here know I've been using unoxidised mesh for quite some time, and I advocate it. I've given private tutorials on how to do it as well. Works tight coil/ loose coil, 0.7/ 2.5 Ohms, loose mesh/ tight mesh, ribbon/ kanthal/ nichrome/ twisted. Just have to try it.

Unoxidised mesh got any tutorial recommend ?

Wanna give me a private tutorial as well? Lol..

Ok i just did a partial oxidized wick.. encounter many problem.. not with the wick but as a first time rba.. tried and failed for 1 hour and finally ...



Its at 1 ohm measure with vv.

But still encounter e2 msg frequently though it's vapable now.. i think it's this hot spot...

Aiyah the P. K one later he go torch the mesh also... There is one by this guy cannot remember todd something. If follow his method you should get 70% there. The other 30% you would discover on the way.

Elson.... PM is served.

 

[chris85e]

elson u got set ur provari to e lowest voltage?

 

[kimochi-ii]

Ya only 1 ohm I try 2.9-3.2v .. shows e2 error usually when I fire more than 5-7 sec. Thanks eyespan, will try do new one later!

 

[chris85e]

lol provari minimum ohm is 1.2

 

[kimochi-ii]

U mean lowest I can go is 1.2ohm? Actually I trying to get 1.5-2 .

Yeah sort of...else u will keep getting the error code

You need to understand why people use low ohm. What you should be targeting is the wattage and for provari, as its a VV, ideally you'd want between 1.8 ~ 2.4ohm and push voltage up to achieve your desired voltage.

Low ohm is for mech mod users where they have fixed or lower voltage thus a low ohm gives them a higher wattage.

Right.. I didnt want that low also its like 4/5 coil. Should increase more coil to make higher ohm?

Yes. more coil = higher ohm. I use 30awg, I coil like 4/5 its about 1.4 or 1.5.

Tried again just now this time with 30 kanthal.. got it to 2 ohm. Tried running at 4-4.2 volt.

Something is still wrong somewhere. The top coil after Vaping for a while will tend to glow.
I quess its wicking issue? And very little vapor.

The wick whole is 3.5mm and I roll my mesh solid tip with top part oxidised. It goes in and out of wick hole smoothly (not tight nor loose)

Attached a pic before juice filling.

Argh.... There's a good video but I lost the link....
Anyway... What I did and it worked quite well is this:

1) Make the coil on a drill/stick 1st. (keep it tight, don't spread the coils 1st)
2) Mount the coil on the terminals and then spread the coil to desired height.
3) Fire up. The coils should glow uniformly, this will 'prime' the coils as well.
4) Make the wick. (Oxidized, Unoxidized, Partially Oxidized...Up to you lah.)
5) Carefully insert the wick thru the mounted coil. It should go in just nice, if not, tweak wick.
6) Fire up and see result.

Low vapor can mean a few things:
1) Poor wicking of mesh.
2) Uneven heating. i.e Hotspots.
3) Inhaling teqnique.

Just my few cents...

For me, I usually fire up to see if its evenly...Then I double check on hot spots by dropping a few drop on the coil and fire to confirm that is no hotspot then I fill the tank with juice.

Your coil seems to be a little loose to me...Next time after making the mesh, confirm that it can go in the wick hole, take it out, put a straightened paper clip inside, and start coiling the mesh before u put back to the wick hole.

Oh. You have a mesh fiber short.

 

[Ash45]

So after all this while, top coil hot spot is caused by the friggin mesh short??

You don't think so? Magnify the photo and have a look. The coil is not oxidised. Just torched. The top coil is looser then the other coils. If there was more tension there I would say just to move the "friggin" wick around. But there is not. And the short would be just where the edges of the mesh lay on the coil.

Then look at the tank. It is empty. The coils all glow unaffected by vaporisation. Why is the top coil glowing more intensely then the other coils? Is it because it is first in line so it gets more -ve? Only 2 "friggin" reasons for a "friggin" hotspot. Insufficient wicking. Mesh short. Take your pick.
