Have been having some mixed results with the nova rebuild and would appreciate any advice please!
First attempt was ss mesh(#400) and kanthal wire(A1 .20) seemed to go well, no hotspots and resistance of 1.8. Taste was bit metallic and burnt to start but improved on second tank. The resistance steadily declined though down to 1.2ohms and the wicking seemed quite poor..so that's on hold for now.
Attempt no.2 was ekowool wick and kanthal .15. This seems a big improvement although I've got a resistance of 3.3ohms. Wicking so far seems much better and improved flavour.
So any ideas of what I might have done wrong with the mesh?

Find a good video or two to watch the set up process. Then read my blog for detailed explanation of how to set it up. I cover all of the common things that prevent success both how to fix them if they happen, as well as how to avoid them in the first place. Couple of very short videos showing what it should look like at certain stages too.

Good luck, a properly set up AGA-T cannot be matched without spending much much more money.
