I have an Igo-L coming this week also, maybe we'll both enjoy that more than the AGA haha.

Thanks for the resurrection, which reminded me to place an Update --V

UPDATE : Success !

Well guys, finally everything worked out. What I did? -Used the Petar K method. Not that I didn't try it earlier, I did, but that time it didn't work out. This time followed THIS video to the bone. Except:
1. Rolled a super dense wick, used 4cm x 5cm (H x W).
2. Quenched it before juice burning step, 4-times.
3. Juice burned 7-times.
4. Used a Steel Nail, the size of the wick hole (didn't have a drill bit of that size).
5. Pinched the top of the wick AND "slit" the bottom, to form a 'skirt' pattern.

400 mesh & 28 gauge Kanthal. 4/5 coil-rolls.

Working perfectly... all the flavor, taste & vapor, FINALLY !

Congradulations I just recently started with an AGA t2 but luckily it worked for me from the start. After enjoying some vapes using the AGA its hard for me to go back to anything else enjot.

Well, my dual wick dual coil AGA-T2 got a grubby pungent aftertaste.

Check the omage and sure enough it creeped up 0.8 ohms more from the original 1 ohm
reading 4 days after it's making. Here it is 4 days later and PTBPBPBTPBBPTPB!!!

1.8 Ohms and tasting craptastic.

So break out the goulash and gobs of tools, fire up my trusty carto tank.

And for the 5^th time in two weeks I am re winding another setup.

This time I used a thicker kanthal to hopefully stop this resistance creep to the tone of over 0.1 ohm per day. 5 HOURS LATER !! the job is done, 2 5/4 wraps of kanthal on a two 1/16" 400 ss-mesh wicks.

Yes I keep the wicks small and the coils small and touching one another on one coil and a barely visible gap on the other to handle my versatile tastes in many flavorings.

Lately there seems to be a lot of talk on the success of narrow coils and wicks with the windings touching one another especially in the middle. Some flavors work better with a small gap between coil windings.
I find on my single coil and single wick standard setup the menthol flavor is better with tight windings. But the same unit using a coffee flavor it didn't fly so I spaced them out a bit and WALA good flavor.

The coffee flavor worked better with a small space between windings. So on my dual ATA T2 I have both. If I can't get a month out of a setup then I will be going to a REO Grand squaunk box MOD and a bottom feed dripper and be done with it. If I have to rebuild a wick every 3 days at least that setup is a breeze to perform the tasks. Minutes and not hours.

This .... gitty figity business is driving me nuts. Problem is THAT'S A SHORT TRIP!!!
