Cotton wick in a genesis atty (specifically the aga t2)

[Wickeddeuce]

Hey all,

I am sure this has been brought up time and time before... but I have 2 aga t2s en route to me (hopefully they got sent today) I am planning on wicking with silica (not likely but might give it a try) and cotton... I have rebuilt my kanger heads with cotton but have heard that in genny attys that silica is not favorable unless you tip to wick... is cotton the same way?

is there anything special i need to know? any pointers or tips i should know before i start enjoying my agas... probably going to build a regular micro coil with the cotton all the way down, and just barely above the coil... and a micro coil on a u style cotton wick...

any/all advice is appreciated and i am looking forward to hearing it...

thanks ahead of time...

That is how I have been running my Gennies. The steel mesh was a pain, hot legs and an odd taste for me.
Dont put much cotton in through the coil, the cotton should slide back and forth easily.

I've always just used SS mesh, and it worked great from the very start. Good clean flavor, wicks marvelously, easy to coil, and durable. A well made SS mesh wick will last you a month. Never had any trouble with it.

You might search for cotton in strands or yarn. Personally, I feel that stainless wicks better in genies.

SS rope. Wicks like crazy. No tilt needed! I can't explain it, it just works.

I've used mesh or ekowool at the top under the coil. Either is exceptional imo.

I can't speak for the Aga-T, but I have used cotton on my RSST, SS mesh, SS mesh/Nextel, SS rope/Nextel, and currently using SS rope/SS mesh combo. With the mesh or cotton by itself I always found myself tilting my mod, It was a little better with the Nextel wrap, but with the rope/mesh combo the only time I have to tilt is if i'm trying to vape the tank dry. Its the last 1/2ml or so... As Phone Guy said it, it just works!!!

do you leave the fill hole plugged? i have read if you leave the fill screw (or plug for the rsst) in it will create a vacuum which will keep the cotton wicked... i can also tilt, isnt really much of an inconvenience... and i have heard the u wick stays amazingly wicked...
