Hello everyone!!!

Recently I ordered some ejuices from Good Life Vapor after reading so many good reviews.

I am so excited to try; however, I was hoping someone could answer my questions to improve my experience of vaping these ejuices.

I will be using AGA-T+ and SS mesh for wick and 28 AWG kanthal wire for coil.

I was wondering which SS mesh would work best 400 or 500 and tight roll or hole in the middle (I understand it is subjective, but I want to hear some opinions)? And how many wraps of 28 kanthal wire would be appropriate on a mechanical mod?

I would be very appreciated if someone could answer my questions.

I wish I could help here O_O I LOVE GLV but I dont do all of that tinkering. I can tell you a dear friend uses an RSST with (i think) 3 wraps to come in right about 1.1 - I have no specific AGA-T or SS help though :(

Hopefully a bump will get some help from someone way better at tinkering! I am good with the alchemy of mixing - but I take coils out of a blister pack LOL.

Thank you for the comment!!!

What I realized (I think I did) recently was that if ss mesh wicks well or not depends on PG/VG mix... some juices worked exceptionally well with 400 and some did well with 500. I have been using 28 kanthal wire wrapped 4/5 for almost a year after watching PBusardo videos and I have been satisfied so I didn't chance.

Now, I really would like to find a better method to be used with mechanical mod

Hey Lady,

I purchased El Kamino, Magic Fairy, and Melon Boba. It seems that they are few of the most popular flavors so I decided to try these first. I am really excited; however, they didn't list PG/VG mix so my original post was about finding the right mesh which will wick nicely since I am running out of mesh and what ohm/resistance/wattage it gives the most flavor with mesh wick on a mechanical mod. But, no one is answering my post :(

Which flavors have you tried?

You're going to get a different answer from everyone on this. There's really no magic formula for enjoying GLV or any juice for that matter. For example, I didn't care for El Kamino on SS mesh in my Genesis atomizers. @ .9ohm in an RSST there was very little of the sweet notes that you can certainly smell in the bottle. I tried all kinds of configurations and resistances, and gave up on it. Then I started using Ekowool and cotton wicks and gave El Kamino another go. I find the flavor to be so rich and well rounded now that I bought a couple of monster sized bottles. Experimenting and finding that perfect set-up for your tastes and preferences is the true joy of RBAs.

I am fairly certain that I may have deadly sin in place of blood O_O

From GLV I have tried Deadly Sin, El Kamino, Melon Boba, Supersonic, Bangkok Dangerous, Shockwave, Zombie Brains, Zombie Blood, Shivering Zebra, White Zenberry, Butterscotch Yo....ummmm..there may be more. I DIY but still regularly order GLV and MEL.

you should be fine with 400 or 500 mesh. Going lower isn't really necessary unless you vaping high or all VG liquids. Good life may vary a little but I'm pretty sure they're 50/50 or 60/40 PG/VG. I use a genesis atty vaping alot of GL flavors. My ongoing and current setup is an RSST (similar to an AGA T2), I use 400 mesh and 28 G kanthal 4 wraps and i end up between 0.8 and 1.0 Ohms. It's a great vape and great choice of juice. Goodlife is the standard by which i measure all other juices. My favs. are White Zenberry and Breathless Mahoney. You should check out there ew line (all VG).

Thank you for your suggestion! I will have to try those two from Goodlife.
Actually, I have the exact same set up except I use AGA T2 for genesis atty. However, for my little experiment, I scraped off a little bit of cotton with 400 mesh. It is not bad at all!
