coils on the aga-t

[StaircaseWit]

"slow" makes no sense....in a technical sense, since the resistance is lower, the amperage would be much, much higher, thus electricity moving through the coil much faster (which is why 28 works so well on mechanical mods also)

if you're talking about heating up time, i really have no idea what you speak of, as it is nearly instant on most everything i use, and on a mech, it glows as soon as the button is pushed (at an average of 7 amps to the coil)

At more typical resistances (1.5-2.2 ohm), it's slow to heat up. Just read any of the thousands of posts here where people using it at higher resistances say it takes a while to heat up. I've even seen people recommend that you hold the button for about a second before bringing the device up to vape. I've rolled the coils and tested this myself. It vapes fine at 0.8ohm on a mechanical mod, but I definitely don't recommend it for the average person with a provari and a genesis atomizer looking to vape at 2ohms.

Make a 32ga coil at 2ohms, and make another of 28ga at 2 ohms. Try both on the same mod and tell me which heats faster. Extrapolate that to extremely heavy wire and consider which heats faster, thicker or thinner?

I use 28g Kanthal with .7 ohms on my mech mods and its vaping bliss. I also have 30g Kanthal that works really well if I want a higher resistance. I have never cared for the 32g, its just too flimsy. My favorite though is the flat ribbon wire, I recently purchased a big spool of the .8x2 (similar to 28g) and man, this stuff is awesome. Absolutely no issues with hot spots, more vape, more flavor, can't say enough good things about it.

Just when I thought I was done spending and buying. Along you come touting this magical ribbon wire and forcing me to rationalize that I have 32,30,28 and they're fine..
" but it's ribbon shaped"
I'm getting great vapor performance no need
" flat ribbon shape, more surface area touching the wick"
it's fine really
" RIBBON!"
Let me check eBay

What size would be similar to 32 or 30?

Haha. Never ends does it? I feel like I have a sickness or something.

One addiction for another my fren. Seriously I have yet to have anything out perform my EVODs. However EVOD+ RIBBON wire might tear a worm hole in the space time continuum. Nay- Sayers will assume I have yet to set up my AGA-T2 properly but, I've had that thing purring with every possible combination of ss mesh, hemp wick, cotton wick,32,30,28... only thing I haven't done is a u- wick. It's good, just not as good. Plus the AGAt weighs a ton, is huge, needs to be tipped, and just not convenient. If they could somehow make it so you could wrap the outer coil in additional wick than I could see it really excelling.
Just did a 30g/8 wrap for 2.0ohms on the AGA T and it's performing nicely. Still not the same level though...

Edit, I may have found MY perfect coil using the drill bit that fits the agat wick hole,30g,8 wraps=2.0ohms
Will see how it works in the EVOD..

If only I didn't know about that damn RIBBON WIRE!

 

[EddieAdams]

Got 2.35ohms using the aga t drill bit 30g/8 wraps on the EVOD head.. wish I knew what size bit it was....
Similar on a second one

Vari nice

 

[PepNYC]

Are the EVOD heads similar to the MT3 heads? Are they rebuilt the same way?

 

[EddieAdams]

Yes, only easier. The atomizer itself unscrews from the base. I literally can do one in under 3 minutes... also the EVOD actually fits my vamo v2 without any kind of adapter. Buy 3 and 5 pack of spare heads. I have 3 and ordered 5 more with my pro tanks to get free shipping from Kanger. Only way its worth it.($18 for shipping) Only drawback is capacity.

Just when I thought I was set, I find this thread.
Adding 30, 28, and ribbon to next week's shopping list.
This is almost as bad as my RC helicopter hobby!

 

[Devilok]

lol yeah it never ends, always something else to try. I would try .5 if you are looking for higher resistance.

Hey Eddie. Got my tax refund...yay. Just in time too. An EVOD coop is in the works. Gonna give em a shot.

Nice man. They're convenient and consistent. I think you'll be happy.

Also I now get why people love their genisis'. I've been using Bobas and Gorilla mainly in it and prefer them in my EVODs. Used jc red oak domestic as well with the same results. I have a 400 oxidized ss wick in there right now flush and has a center tube wider than a large paper clip. Screw in. An 28g/8 wrap coil at 1.5 ohms. 14w vamo v2.
Was finishing some gorilla juice up in the AGA-T2 and decided disassemble rinse and fill it with some BWB Casa which I liked thus far but, wasn't in love with. All the flavors popped. Couldn't believe it. Only with that liquid though. I'll be finishing the rest of the BWB bundle in my AGA-T2. I'm very puzzled by this. Why wouldn't the other liquids have similar results? Anyway try that set up. Not sure what to think...

That's almost exactly what I'm using now. I have a Vulcan, aka Griffin, with 400 mesh and an 8/9 wrap 28 gauge coil at about 1.5. Are you really at 14w? Wow. I'm only at 8. I thought if I went any higher it would burn the juice.

I have some Plume room stuff in mine. Toasted Turkish Tobacco and Burley & candy. If you like Boba's and Gorilla juice, you might like the Burley & candy and the Candied Cavendish. I've had pretty good results with all three of their juices thus far.

Only with BWB Casablanca and thus far only that flavor. It toasted copper creek coffee. Had to turn it down to 9w and clean. It was quite delicious with Casa though ,like it was made for it. Just kept clicking it up. BWB Apple wood didn't burn but, didn't " pop" like Casa.
I'll take a look at those when my budget allows. lol have to stop buying to try for a bit and finish most of what I have for now. You know?

 

[EddieAdams]

I'm actually puffing away on this coffee filled AGA-T2 just to get Casa back in there and crank it up. I couldn't believe it myself. Wicked like crazy and just got better with every click... it's the only one though I prefer in my genny

Oh I know it too well my friend.

I gotta try that Casablanca. Ya ever try the "Malty" juice from BWB? A lot of good reviews on that one.

Not yet. Got the tobacco bundle. All pretty good. They're" growers". Not going to grab you right away but, as you go through the bottle they become very enjoyable. Strong TH, decent vapor.

Curious about the malty myself
