Well First I want to leave this topic for Aqua Builds Its an Interesting New device and not only do people have questions others may also have suggestions as i will post something i hope will help and also ask for some. So although I do have a question I also Hope this can kinda be an anything Aqua Thread? IDK

First of all this is a building question


I build my aqua with dual microcoils just different wires and wraps etc, Never used a "custom" coil. So when i do this sometimes i notice one coil lights up first, I think i know why this is please correct me or help me avoid this in the future (its not a marked delay nore can i tell while vaping so currently its more of a wonder why) I think its due to the way i capture my coils? as i make my coils then insert a micro screwfdriver in each to hold it straight when I capture them, To capture them i take the wire and fully wrap them arround each post almost one complete wrap, I beleve possibly the power is flowing through the first coil lead before it reaches the next? (although as long as the wire is touching the positive post it shouldnt matter so i think when i tighten it down it may press the top coil down and create the effect i believe may be happening?) Maybe its the direction of the coil leads and the way i install them? although sometimes i notice this can happen with a kink in your wire.

As this is not effecting my vaping experience i am not worried unless i should be LOL. But if anyone has an idea why this is happening go ahead tell me lol

Also for an Aqua Tip:


This is for filling i have noticed almost everyone fills it the same way, IMO its a process and the way i fill just seams easier and always works (at least for me) and that is to leave the atty on your mod invert it and unscrew both the tank and bell/chimney from the base the chimney has an oring that will keep your liquid from leaking out. At this point you simply fill arround the bottom of the bell/chimneyuntill full you can go al the way to the top just before the liquid would leak into the bell/chimney. its hard to explaine but search for aqua 3 ml fill online and you will find a video or maybe aqua bottom fill. This method lets you fill the whole tank you do not need to worry about the vaccumm or leaking it just works.

I hope this thread grows Also anyone doing anything with your Aquas different? Next build i do will be Verticle coils IDK but i need to try it out as this is an awesome vape with just cotton and horozontal microcoils

I don't wrap the leads completely around the posts on my Aqua, and instead hook each of them. I doubt the position of the wires makes any difference in regard to how quickly one heats up over the other.

If one of my coils does not light up as quickly as the other, I usually give the lazy one another pinch with the tweezers and that usually solves the problem. Otherwise, there's probably a resistance difference in your coils, or perhaps a difference in the lead length.

Hey Guys,

I just love the Aqua....

When I first got it I found it very difficult and fiddly to attach the coils. Since then I have started to use 16ga Blunt Tip Luer-Lock Needle's to make my coils. The great thing about these needles is that they fit perfectly in the air holes on the base. I now insert the needle into the air hole with the coil vertical. This holds the coil in place while i tighten the screws.

I can now recoil the aqua in less than 5 minutes. :)

Hey guys,

I have changed my build slightly and so far it is working out to be the best build so far.

I made two 6 wrap coils that give me a total resistance of 0.4 ohm. I then built my normal vertical build but then twisted the coil to about an angle of 45 degrees. This allowed me to thread a very small amount of cotton through the coils. The next thing I did was make another cotton wick and laid this from the juice channels to across the top of the coil.

Man....... the vapor production and flavor is amazing!!!

They are not great pics (iphone) but I hope you get the idea.
