I had dual ss mesh wicks set up in my AGA-T2 for about a week. It worked pretty darn good, until the other day when I first noticed the button on my brass Sigelei 19 got SUPER HOT really fast. I panicked and quickly took out the battery, which was NOT hot. It seemed fine.

Me, being a dumb***, put it back in and continued to vape on it, and the hot button didn't happen again. What DID happen a few minutes later was a short, sharp shock where my finger touched both the button and the bottom ring around it. A short, I thought. Didn't hurt that bad, and the thing was still working just fine, pumping out vapor and sucking up juice.

BUT! in a rare flash of common sense, I checked the resistance of the whole device again. .2 Ohm. Yeah. I don't know why that didn't register as dangerous territory when I first set it up. I've been using various 18650s and an EFest 18500 batteries and wasn't noticing any rapid power depletion. I took the second wick out anyway. The added vapor and flavor were great, but the added throat hit was unpleasant, especially since I never did drill a second air hole in the top cap.

So.....tread carefully my friend. Just some advice from an idiot. You'll notice in these photos that my coils are an unholy mess, but I swear to you I had no hot spots or hot legs. Scout's honor!

From what I've found, the hot button and occasional shock is really just an issue with the #19 mod. Don't remember why it happens really, but I had a lengthy conversation with the owner of my local B&M and some people who had bought the #19 and they had all run across this issue even with 1.5 ohm coils.

Could someone point me in the direction of a lower cost genesis atty with dual wick capability that runs off the same air hole? Something similar to the cobra but cost closer to an aga. Not even sure if a such animal exists but worth a shot! Thanks in advance!

you basically just described an AGA. having an air hole for each wick is what most people do. but if you just want 1 air hole and two wicks, youre looking at an AGA.
