I am going to attempt a dual coil aga t2 tomorrow, So as much advice as possible will help. I have one of the aga t's that has 3 screw holes, the press fit post, and the wick hole (I will post a pic below) I already know what wire and mesh i will use, but need to know every other step off doing this. I do better with written instructions than video, so don't link me to video tutorials please. Thanks all of you in advance for the advice :)

I had to Google search to make sure this was even possible. I had no idea you could do that, and makes me want an Aga even more now.

As for help, don't the Aga's only have one wick hole? If so, fix that first. Don't wrap too low, don't want to over do your batteries. What are you putting this on? If it's a protected device, do the math and keep it within the safe zone. Killed an eGo battery by wrapping too low of a coil, amp rating was at 4.54, switch took 3 safely, just under 4 failure. Wrap as similar as possible, with as little hotspots as possible. Don't be afraid to rewrap a coil if need be. Lastly, be careful of shorts. Other than that, good luck to ya!

It's tough enough to pulse one coil to carbonization. I can't even imagine a dual coil would be worth the effort... But I'll give you a thumbs up if you pull it off! :D

I already one coilset up on it, and i won't be pulse oxidizing

What type of battery are you using? a mechanical? a vv? As to the person who fried their ego, you should never use rba's on an ego unless you know exactly what you are doing.

That would be me, and I agree that you should know, but disagree with people saying don't use them on eGo's. I wholeheartedly admit I went to low, but I honestly didn't care. eGo batteries are cheap, and protected. It'll die before venting, which is an added bonus. I made a whole thread about it, warning people to do their math before hand and to be careful. That's why I brought it up and mentioned not going over the rating. Play it safe people, but be willing to accept sacrifices and losses and acknowledge you did them yourself.

I'm making a dual coil build this weekend w/ silica wicks. The only thing you need to do is drill a 2nd air hole like the previous user mentioned. I've found for dual coils running around .4ohms - .6ohms, you need to have AT LEAST 1/16 holes drilled in it. Before all lifeguards jump on me about saftey - I vape .4 - .6 all day everyday. I agree, don't even bother using an ego, youll just kill it, and the vape won't be nearly as consistent compared to a cheap k100 mod. You can buy a k100 w/ panasonic 18650 3200mAh battery for the same price as you bought your lil ego. Do yourself a favor, get a cheap k100 - maybe even buy a $14.99 IGO-W to go with it, and drill the holes out - in my opinion thats the best under $70.00 dual coil mod setup you can buy.

as far as getting dual coils to run on my new AGA-T2 - looks like it'll be tricky just getting the wicks to make contact w/ the coils and then feed them down into the tank.. maybe i'll use cotton wicks instead of silica... I could see wicking becoming an issue since it's not gravity fed, it has to travel up the wick to get it wet... which kind of blows. However - it's definitely worth a shot since the RBA is so dirt cheap, who cares if it doesnt work as well as an ithaka. I got an ithaka clone of fastech and it works great! dual coils w/ a TSAF Zapper for the NR-R-NR wires.

I will post my how-to and pictures if I get it working tonight... first things first though... drill out air holes.

What batteries are you using are they capable of handling the amp draw your going to be placing on them using sub ohm. Higher mAH batteries have lower amp limits.18650 AW2000 will handle a 10 amp draw AW 1600 is 15 MNKE 18650 20 and Sony has a 30 amp battery

Make sure your wire length is the same for both coils and try to make the connection to the post the same to electricity takes the path of least resistance.

if you check the date i posted this, that was three months ago. i have since figured out how to set up dual coil, slapped myself for thinking it would be difficult, vaped on it for awhile, then given away my aga.

im fully aware of all battery safety thingamajigs

I'm curious bfrie. How did you do the dual coil setup? I'm guessing you used non-metalic wicks. I think you had enough holes in that AGA to not have to make any new ones.

I used ss mesh, I used the same amount of wire for each one.

Simply set up the first wick, worked out hotspots, disconected it from the positive, then repeated for the second wick, then attached poth to the positive post. Checked that they were firing evenish, then vaped away
