Augvape intake

[Rangertrix]

I use 26g 3mm contact coil 8 wraps for about .6 ohms.
I also place mine fairly close to the air inlet.
Also make sure your coil legs are actually under the screws. 26g tends to slide over beside the screws, and though it holds fairly tight, it isn't an ideal connection and can cause issues at higher power levels.

Play with the wicking. In the Intake, wicking can mute the flavor. It'll seem fine, but a slight change can make a difference.

Should have mentioned 26g SS316l. Brain fart.

Finally got mine in today. Going to have to play with it.
Started off with a 24 ga 0.5 ohm SS316L single coil. 3mm ID at 28 watts
2 drags and yuck. Adjusting up or down didn't help me.
Pulled that and inserted an alien Clapton NI80 (3mm ID, 0.4 ohm) that I use on my OBS Engine Nano's and Greek vape Zeus's. I'm using at 38 watts right now, where all my other setups are great at 45 watts for this same coil.

Yep, air flow is tight! I do not like the screws. Will have to see how it goes after I rewick it again tomorrow.

I was using a 3mm ID SS Alien Clapton coil in one of mine. I went to a 2.5mm and found it a bit better for some reason. 0.2 ohm @45 watts and it is giving me great flavor

I got my first Intake (first because I'm gonna buy another ), I love it's airflow.
Here is photo of Intake with 810 and 510 drip tip :

Looks good on the P80.

Yea i've been playing with it and i'm getting better at wicking, i'm happy with the flavor but I still can't figure out why my ohms are much higher than the rating of the coils, i've tried it on another mod and it reads the same so it's not the mod, I'm 100% sure the coils are not touching anything inside the deck and the leads are trimmed at short as possible.. You are right, it is pretty hard to get these leads exactly under the screws but it doesn't seem to make any difference in my case

Try rinsing off the deck under the tap, you might have a tiny sliver of metal stuck in there somewhere. Did you check to make sure the screw didn't cut/sever the coil legs?

 

[Rangertrix]

The way I wick mine is I cut my wick even with the outside edges of the tank. Then I fluff and fan out the ends of the wick. When looking at your wick end from the side, push the half up and then fold the bottom half under and into the wick hole, then trim the rest of the wick even with the threads of the chimney.
Kind of like how we wicked a lot of OLD RDTAs to prevent leaking when they tipped.
Did any of that make sense?

Have you tried a different coil yet?

 

[Rangertrix]

Yahtzee!!
Found a video of the wicking technique I was talking about.
It works well for flavor and especially for high power builds.

 

[joeblowma]

these coils are labeled as 0.5 ohms but my innokin proton reads 0.95

I still can't figure out why my ohms are much higher than the rating of the coils

Some coil makers sell coils in pairs for dual coil use and labelled as what they'd be if you used both coils in parallel. So if you were to take one of such a pair labelled as 0.5, it would be 1ohm or close to it but if you used both in parallel it would be 0.5ohm. You said you were using 28ga x2 + 32ga kanthal, how many wraps and what is the inner diameter? A coil with those specs and 3mm ID with 8 wraps thrown into Steam Engine comes out to just over 1ohm (so does 3.5mm and 7 wraps), so I think that is the case with your coils - they put the spec as if you were using a pair of them in parallel.

^^^Makes perfect sense and therfore didn't dawn on me.

FT finally listed replacement bubble glass.
Unfortunately it's not authentic Augvape, so can't confirm the fit.

I've found vapesoon replacements to be good fits in the past. Thanks for the link.

Probably who Augvape buys it from themselves. It's not like they're blowing their own glass in their factory. I imagine there are a few glass companies that sell to all the tank manufacturers.

Getting ready to fill mine for the 3rd time today. Found a coil that I like in it finally, a .25ohms fused clapton with a .25 ID. I think the coil is a bit heavy for the Intake, but it's working right for me and the taste is great.

So, to me, the airflow overall is too restricted, I don't like the screws used in it, and while it looks great, I won't be ordering another. I'll still use it as an at home vape until it is destroyed, have plenty of glass for it so it should last a while.

Time to try the KAEES Solomon 2!

 

[puffon]

I must be in the minority. I run it with the air closed off a 1/3.
Just ordered 2 more....

Depends on juice for me, have one I run tighter.

 

[hittman]

I run mine wide open. I still haven’t gotten around to ordering a back up. I actually made it a whole month without buying any vaping stuff. I’m rather proud. I know it won’t last.
