Yeah...you're correct turnforward. I can't believe we actually started TWO expensive foreign wars and cut revenue/taxes at the same time, ran up trillions in debt trying to deliberately bankrupt the USA so government would have to be gutted and then tried to stick poor Obama with the bill. Sad. And we're still in Afghanistan! Even the Russians gave up on that one. Some real suspicious math on that stuff.

Glad we all got rid of those no-tax-and-spend GOP guys. Now if we can actually pay the bills.... But that's more of a discussion for the OUTSIDE forum. (Sorry, I missed the "do not feed the trolls" sign. Maybe I'll notice it the next time.)

So OP, did you figure out the flame problem (or is it the flame posts ;)) ???? Get the wick working and oxidized properly? All I see is "this thing is a dud". What gives?

The AGA-T Plus. I recommend making the following modifications to it though, buy the smallest stainless washers you can find at the local hardware store. They will cost about 6 cents each. Take a bic pen, the kind that retracts. Pull it apart and take the spring out. Throw the pen away and cut about a third of the spring off. Take all of the nuts off of the center positive post. screw one of the large nuts down as far as it will go. Put the 1/3 spring on the center post and work the bottom of it over the nut. Put two washers on and top the whole thing off with another large nut.

This will give you a hot spot free, quick release positive attachment point. It fixed 99.9% of all the problems I was having with the AGA-T. :)

The best looking drip tip to get for it is the "stainless steel hourglass" (in my opinion). IBTanked sells high quality Pyrex replacement glass in two different thicknesses for these too. Which is another big plus in it's favor.

I went to the Depot, the smallest ss washers I found where in the drawers. The size is M4, and they are to big, I am guessing I need some sized M2 but the 4's were all they had.

Where did you get yours at, and what is the size?

the press fitted post is meant for a silica coil configuration. u can also replace all aga-t screws with bigger ones which you can find inside any computer.

Thanks. I wondered what that was for. I just used the screw nearest the wick as the negative - like folks do. Kept wondering what the other post was there for.
