my fix for the AGI spring is a ball air needle
ball air needles are exactly the right inner diameter to fit over the small portion of the lower center post snugly.they are also made of chrome lated brass. i also found out that due to manufacturing variances that there is no set length to cut the needle. what i did is cut it a hair long and took a dremel with an emery wheel and sanded it down a little at a time. i wuld sand it, put the
tank together and check the globe roation. if it turned, i would sand it a bit more and recheck until it fit perfectly without the glass turning at all. then i dotted the top end with a small dab of solder to make more surface area for the top deck to contact when assembled. the ball needles are ong enough if you do it easy and right you can get two spring replacement posts out of one needle. i keep a couple made and on hand just in case the carpet eats one.
another tip:
i found that in genny mode that if you remove the screw to let it vent for wicking, it WILL leak if you lay it down for any length of time . this is due to the hole being to big for any soryt of vaccum affect within the unit.. if your having issues ( or have had issues) with your AGI leaking , get yourself one of the grub screws (allen headed plugs) that fits from your local hardware store, put it in a pair of vise grips and with a thin emery dremel wheel, cut a fine slot in the screw lengthways be very careful as youll be cutting lengthwise and thru the threads, so dont bugger the threads up so you cant screw it back in!....... this allows it to "vent" for wicking in genny mode and completely cuts out any dry hits and wicking problems and doesnt allow it to leak..... i run multiple mods and
tanks, and i can now fill up my AGI lay it on its side for days without any leakage at al, and still vape without dry hits,ect.
another thing you can do is get a screw that fits your threads thats about 3/8 in long. again put it in a pair of vise grips and cut the side slot, but cut it at a slant. you can then install it and use the screw as a small thumb screw to adjust the proper amount of
tank venting to your liking.
another tip ( which also involves a dremel by the way) is if youve got a wild hair to drill out the air hle in the top cap S-T-O-P. get your self a small elongated cone shaped diamond bit for your dremel ( whole diamond bit set on amazons like $5). turn your dremel on and CAREFULLY insert the end of the bit into the hole in your top cap and ust give it a little light bump and then assemble your cap onto your unit and try it out. do this, removing as little material as possible,doing it as lightly as possible, multiple times until you get the draw just were you want it. remeber, a little material removal goes a long way. its easy to remove the material, but virtually impossible to replace it without the proper welder and stuff to do it!
