Can I use wick and wire for my aga t2 rebuildable tank?

[nighlykeira]

I want to know if i can use wick and wire for the aga t2. i don't want to use mesh since i read that it is dangerous for our health.

You sure can, do a youtube search for it to see how to set it up. Basically you take a peice of 3mm silica wick and double it at the top wrap your coil around the doubled peice and trim it down to fit about 1/3 of the way in the tank. Hope this helps ya out.

Did you try the silica wick yet on the aga t2?

i tried it as on my AGA T2 with a single 3mm silica wick 3/4 way down into the tank with a small 1cm or so piece of stainless mesh wrapped around the top where the coil will wrap around, worked wonders

whats would be the difference between running wick and the normal steel mesh wick?

My AGA2 is working very well with 400 mesh and 3 wrap 32GA Kantal...bout 2.6 ohms...steamy!

Do you still have to wrap the silica wick with the mesh where the coil is going to be wrapped on? or can it just be the coil on the silica wick?

It can just be wrapped around the wick without mesh if you like.

I`m just having a try with an Ekowool (basically braided silica wick) "U" wick in the AGA-T2, working well so far but I`ve only just rigged it half a tank ago so too early to compare with the many other set-ups I`ve tried.
One thing though, it does seem to keep the coils at the top of the wick better fed with juice and stop them drying out faster than the lower coils.
Simple to do

Here's my set of tips to start you off on the AGA-T2, based mostly on my own experience:
-Try to aim for 4 wraps of kanthal to 2ohms
-leave out the 2 other screws from the top, helps improve flavor
-silica wick works well, especially inside stainless steel mesh it gives a great flavor
-try to open up your air hole a little by either a tiny press drill or a corkscrew

Once you get the hang of working out hotspots try thicker kanthal and make 6 wraps. You just have to make sure your wick can keep up and it will taste really good. If you're going for silica wick, look up some tips for high-end RBA wick building. They aim to maximize the flavor by wick building from what I heard.

Post a picture of the setup please !

I got my AGA and Ekowool on the way.
did anybody tried sheeting the Ekowool on the mesh? Do you nee to blacken the mesh in this case?
