Just got into rba and having bunch of issues. I have a aga, terminator and Phoenix.

Term just doest have much flavor and leaks a lot when I fill it, can't seem to refill without it leaking? I'm using the wick that came with it so I'm sure a new wick will hopefully solve my flavor issues. Using ms t bakery snickerdoodle

Phoenix is great so far! Had a problem with the atty post at first but solved it and now I can't complain! I'm dripping it

Now the aga, I had high hopes for it. My first coil was terrible, I built it on a provari and just couldn't get it right. Trashed the coil and wick, bought a gg clone and made a perfect coil! No hot spots at all and firing at 2 ohms. Made a new wick as well, very harsh at first but about half a tank and it was tasting great! About halfway through the second tank and now everything is tasting burnt and lost all flavor! Nothing at all has Changed on my setup either! Using 32 ga kanthal and 325 ss mesh, Using Alice in vapeland zombie apocalypse

First off, I love Alice In Vapeland juices and am fairly familiar with them. I have noticed that these juices tend to gunk up pretty quick and I need to either burn it off at the end of a tank or just build a new coil.

It could also be possible that during travel with your device that it got bumped and when the wick moved, so did the coils creating uneven contact between the rest of the coils and wick. Usually I can just nudge them back into place with a little bit of patience.

Sometimes the air hole on the top cap can get moved a bit out of place. You could double check to make sure it is facing directly in front of the wick too, but you probably already did that :p

Have you tried different batteries?

hope some of this was useful.
