Got my first legit coil on aga-t2

[Bunyan]

Been fiddling around the last 5 days trying to get a good coil. I didn't realize how precise you have to be. Decided to try a higher resistance wrap with 32 awg. Used a variation of the "can I try your juice?" Guy and another video I saw right after it. Works great. Not as much vapor as I was expecting but no hotspots and no shorting.

Grats Bunyan!

It took me about 5 or 6 very frustrating days before I got my first good wick and coil built.

Looks like you've got a 7/6 wrap on that wick. With 32g I'm guessing your resistance is pretty high.. near 3.0ohms or so? With high resistance you'll need to send more volts to the coil than you would for your average atty head. I'm taking some educated guesses here, you could also have a wicking issue but if so I'd imagine you'd also be reporting a burnt metallic taste.

Practice makes better (perfect is subjective )

Why yes on fact I've been getting a lot of metallic taste depending on how full the tank is. The wrap isn't as tight as I would have liked and it is 7/8 wraps. its hovering around 2.4 ohms. I don't know much about how to get it to wick properly but I put a diaginal cut at the bottom and I always tilt.

A guy on YouTube showed that putting a crimp on both ends of the coil help reduce a hot spot on the lead "wires" going to the posts.

I must have got lucky. Got my AGA T+ 3days ago and was a little nervous about setting it up. My first try at making a coil didn't go so well(used the method I saw in most videos) and it fried while I was trying to get rid of hot spots. I decided to try wrapping the coil on the wick first then putting it into the tank, it worked the first time. I've been vaping happy since then.

Congrats, it takes some time to get it right but it's worth when you do.

If you got hot leg at pos post, try to bring the wire around pos post and twisted at pos leg. Work for me.
