AGA t2 question

[standyurground]

hey everyone
quick question about the aga t2 atty
i understand they are great for below 1 ohm vaping with an unregulated voltage mod, but can you wrap a coil to achieve a higher, say, 2.5 ohm coil and use that resistance on a regulated voltage mod such as an innoken svd or in my case wanting to use an ego twist battery
thanks in advance

I did that and didn't perform any better than my protank

You gotta use 34-36 awg kanthal to get those type of resistances, but it shouldn't be a problem. Also if you don't have one already, get yourself a quality volt-ohm meter, so you know what your resistance is.

First, I really don't suggest sub ohm coils until you have a VERY good understanding of the theory AND dangers of sub ohm coils.
From your question, I'm guessing you don't. So PLEASE... be safe and don't go there.

As for your question....
Yes you can go higher ohms and they work great on regulated devices.
BUT... always remember, CHECK YOU OHMS BEFORE YOU FIRE THE COIL!
And, don't expect to get it perfect the first time... or second... or third... LOL!

One more thing!
WELCOME to ECF!!!

Yes with rbas you can make a coil whatever resistance you like and an ego would work with a 2.5 coil. An aga s would fit an ego better if you care about looks, the aga t would be quite top heavy.

i love the pro tank....just looks huge on an ego battery
i am currently using the kanger evods on the ego and i think the combination is performing very well
thanks for your response E_DeCastro

i use 32g and semi micro coils (turned on a .256 Screw) and I get constant 2.2-2.4ohms

As others said a volt meter would be a good idea for safety reasons. Your ego will have some protection and shouldn't fire if there is a short or the ohm is too low. Might aswell spend a little more and get something like a vamo instead of a meter but that's just what I would do. Well I would actually go a little better and get an SVD for 41 and wait a couple weeks for it.

If you think the protank looks huge the aga t2 will aswell ;-)

I don't think a twist can unleash enough current to overcome the thermal load of a wet ss mesh wick and really make it perform. The name of the game is wattage and I don't know if you would get a large performance difference if there is insufficient energy for heating the coil. A 1 ohm coil on a mech is running roughly 13 to 14 watts and to do that it needs almost 4 amps available from the battery. A twist running at 4.8 volts into a 1.7 ohm coil will give you the same amount of power, requiring just a bit under 3 amps from the twist. I don't think a twist will deliver that much current.

Yes, I imagine you could quite easily. I typically run 2.0 ohm coils on my AGA-T2's on Provari's using 30g wire.

Especially on the SVD. I'm not sure about using them on the eGo Twist though. An eGo may not have the AMP power that a regular IMR or Li Ion battery has. Someone else more familiar about the specs on eGo batteries should be along to be able to answer that.

Aesthetically, the AGA would be extremely top heavy on such a slim battery as an eGo. It would be difficult to stand on end, and most RBAs will leak if laid on their side. Not a good idea for use on an eGo.

Of course, you should never fire any self-made coil without first checking the resistance, and re-check it from time to time as resistance can change over time for various reasons. A digital multimeter, either used alone or on a regulated battery device that has one is a must. Coils must fall within a safe working range for the voltage used or the atty, battery, or battery device can suffer irreparable damage and potentially result in personal injury or fire.

thanks everyone for your responses...was just trolling for opinions on how hard a twist could be driven and i agree its iffy at best and left to sport the evods and occationally the pro tank or puritank when i want to do a few arm curls while enjoying a vape.
while the mechanical mods are intriguing i would much rather spend that kind of money on trying all the wonderful juices available.
i seem to only use the svd once a month or so and am getting the itch to try the ss wicks.

 

[xpo310]

i have mine set at 1.7 with 32 awg kanthal on a vamo.

If you want to try an ss wick the aga t2 or an RSST is the way to go. They preform great on a Vamo. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
