Beginner RBA?

[BlkWolfMidnight]

Good Morning,

Ok, here is the breakdown...
28 AWG Kanthal A-1 .47 ohm/in, 5.6 Ohm/ft
30 AWG Kanthal A-1 .69 Ohm/in, 8.3 Ohm/ft.
32 AWG Kanthal A-1 1.21 Ohm/in, 14.53 Ohm/ft.
34 AWG Kanthal A-1 2.23 Ohm/in, 26.70 Ohm/ft.

Keep in mind when you wrap wire you effectivly use more of it, that 1 inch peice of wire can become less then 1/4 to 1/8 inch once your done wrapping it so usually a typical wrap around a 3.2mm typical SS Mesh wick will use upwards of 1.75 inches of wire. I know on a 3.0 silica wick 5 wraps of 32 guage will produce 2.1 to 2.4 ohms, give or take some.
I'd stay away from 36 guage unless your trying to reach for the sky in Ohms, typically 4.0 ohm or better is when I'll start using that guage wire.

So to answer your question in far too many words, 36 guage wire is far too high, stick with 32 to 34 guage wire, and attempt to buy a volt meter .

Hope this helps.

Gunner, just one more thing, there are a few safety measures you need to be aware of when setting up RBA's for the first time, please read Rolygate's post he explains far better than I can. If you don't have a mechanical mod use a nearly flat ego battery / twist (set to lowest voltage) if you use your Vamo again use a nearly flat battery, never use fully charged batteries when you set up your coils, always use the lowest setting possible once it's firing ok then incrementally go up in voltage.
Always use a multimeter.

Thanks for all the links and info, everyone.

I'm sure I'll back with more questions once I actually have the AGA-T in my hand and am going: .

Gunner, if you haven't purchased the AGA-T you may want to go to DiscountVapors the have the AGA-T plus, the new revision to the AGA-T. The new rev is all SS and they add a glass tank along with the tank that comes with it. Regardless, either one should work fine.

Just put my order in with them, along with some extra kanthal wire and #400 mesh.

Fingers crossed that I don't screw this up.

The T Plus has plastic, the T2 has glass.

The T Plus has plastic, the T2 has glass.

Eric is including a glass tank with the t+. So you end up with a glass one and a plastic one if you order it from discount vapers.

Oh nice, that is a sweet inclusion
