Well , after a month and a half I've got a realy good wick/coil going . I've had problems with shorts , top coil hot spots and wicking . I went with a un carbonized wick and hybrid cotton string . It has a 3/4 32 gage kanthol wire wrap . It is wicking great and taste better than any previous attempts . I made the wick a little looser than before , it will just barely drop through . So far loving this AGA-T .
