i tried the build you have here the other day with non-twisted kanthal. It wicks fine with 50/50 but there is still a particular taste i can't get past. It isn't a burned taste but every juice i try in the aga-t has the same taste whether i use silica, cotton, SS mesh, whatever.

The dual wick allows ultra loose wick through deck hole and firm wick through coil.
Bonus that you can renew wick several times by pulling like toilet paper..

Cool idea. I'm gonna try the dual wick now. I tried dual coil but havent tried 2 wicks in one coil. Seems like i could make the wicks thinner so they would wick better. Might be a silly question but what is that white/clear plastic-looking piece you have sticking out of the wick hole there?

Through deck ultra skinny auto dripper style wicks wick wreally wicked quick. Read that out loud then see RipTripper's auto dripper YT video.

I have no time for factory screw plugs nor flooded deck so I just cut some pieces of silicone tubing for crude but effective stoppers.

I got lock-jaw trying to say that. Silicone is a good idea. I bet with a decent design you could market that :thumbs:

I know i am beating a dead horse here and this is the last I'll post about it so apologies in advance. I have gotten my aga-t2 to work just fine. The riptripper auto-dripper method works best for me. But the taste is still funky. The taste isn't bad, it is just a lot lot different. I have the same juice in an aspire bdc, a kanger protank, an igo-w, and my aga-t. The taste is of course a little different from device to device but the juice in the aga-t doesnt remotely taste like it is supposed to. Ive tried everything. Sadly i think i might be one of those people who just don't prefer genesis style attys.

I put the coil as close to air hole as possible (someone recommended it) which helped a little. This is possible w/ cotton wick.

The auto dripper didn't work for me until I packed wick firm inside coil.

The 18 mm genny style RTA produces very high quality vapor. Rivals my RDAs. I have the FT cobra thick tank which isn't SS but it produces very high quality vapor. I plan to buy a SS 16 to 18 mm genny one day.

Did you get your AGA tuned up?
I just brought mine to the next level.
I made the AGA air hole slightly larger and it is among my top performers for warm quality vapor.
I used an old stainless knife and wallowed the hole out. It was easier than I thought it would be. Only took about a minute.
It has a professional chamfered look.

yep i put a 5/16th hole in the cap and im thinking about enlarging the hole on the deck as well. The autodripper method is the best ive found for it yet and it is growing on me.

Your AGA is drilled for healthy air flow.

My warm quality vapor RBAs have near stock air holes approximately 0.9 mm to 1.2 mm.

My RTA drilled to single 1/16" air hole produces medium clouds and has medium cool vapor.

My RTA cloud maker has three 3/16" deck holes, dual 1/8" air holes, and dual coils. Big clouds w/o constant dripping.

My RDA cloud maker has dual 1/8" air holes and quad coils. Good fun.

My AGA is blasted for a warmer look.

I love my AGA-T2's on the hammer clone. I also have a couple of FT clones that work just as well, the glass is not as thick as the original, but it gets the job done.The micro coil with cotton auto dripper setup is by far the easiest and best setup for flavor and vapor production. Opening up the air hole is must also, I used a drill punch that has a file like point, and worked the hole open a little at a time until I got the perfect draw. My only problem now is that it doesn't look right on the hammer. It works great, but doesn't have any style to compliment the hammers look. I guess I'll start looking into getting a Kayfun or Kraken.

Other than the glass, does FT AGA-T2 seem to be same quality.
I may pick up another AGA-T2.
Probably original because I think they are cheaper now.

Just an update for those who care: I recently tried ribbon kanthal in my aga-t and it made all the difference in the world. I couldn't get that kanthal taste out of my aga before but for some reason the ribbon kanthal with ss mesh is working just right. I'm glad i can take my aga off the bench and finally have a spot in my lineup for it. Now to get me one of those gorgeous krakens. :D
