AGI help

[aintdunn]

I'm no expert at building RBAs but damn..... My AGI is being a problem child.

I have an AGA-T2 that I can build some pretty decent coils on, so I didn't think an AGI would need to be built any differently.

But no matter how I do it, it hits airy as hell and you really have to huff it to get a mouthful of vapor

I use 400 or 500 mesh, 28 gauge kanthal and a mech mod, either a modded sigelei 19 or 20.

A 2/3 wrap job gets me around a 1.0 to 1.2 ohm result, aga and agi, yet the agi has been an airy disappoint every single attempt.

Help!

Airhole too big?

 

[aintdunn]

I wondered that too but I bought it new and it's identical to my aga

 

[Dru_Duns]

Are all your screws in?

 

[aintdunn]

Well, I will check again soon, but I have 1 hex screw out for the wick and 1 hex screw in, assuming its for a dual wick or u-wick setup

I'm sure you're talking about the AGI in tank mode. Disassemble and take out that spring, replace it with something solid to make the connection. The spring is a resistance wire by itself. It's the problem. No problems, no mods necesssary in drip mode.

For real? That stupid spring is my issue???? What are people changing it to? I swear if that is the only reason I have rebuilt half a dozen wicks in 3 different ways.......lmao!

And yes, definitely talking about tank mode

If not too much air, then too little vapor. Ergo, coil is probably not hot enough, which is probably because of voltage drop, which most likely is because of the center spring.

Swap it out with a piece of brass tubing. I did that and it hits like a mother. Better than all my other Gennies.

 

[aintdunn]

Thanks buddy! Nice to see you again! I was going to message you next, lol

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

Always glad to help.

Yeah I took some copper wire that i stripped from a car charger i dont use and i twisted it into a small tube to fit inside the spring to connect the top and bottom. The AGI will be a little airy as it has a big airhole. I just got used to it by vaping a little slower. Also, on the filling hole, i placed the screw all the way down and used the extra one on the same hole to further the leak problem. It took me 5 tries to get this right, but i've just begun

I need to look into this. I am having the same problems as the OP. Just replace the spring with brass tubing, I think I can handle that. Gonna do this today. I'll report back with the results. Thanks for the tip.

Replacing that spring with some brass tubing from the hardware store worked great. Now I just need to learn how to make a good wick and coil setup. Everyone I've done so far is tasting very harsh and dry. Tastes like sheeeeeet!!!
