You'll always place one side of your coil wire onto the center post... the other side will go to either screw post on either side depending on what type of wick you have chosen or if you wish, you can actually use two wicks/coils even.

Why don't these things come with instructions? I'm using 3.7v batteries on a Natural mod. 32G wire and 325 mesh. I tried the other day to reuild a vivi nova and burnt out my ego in the process. If I burn out my Natural I don't know what I'm going to do. I suppose I'll have to check the ohms after. That's another 2 hour process to figure out how to do that I guess. But at least I have a multimeter.
Yeah what a help. Thanks so much man for the help. I read the page. I'm asking for some help. I have all the equipment, I am asking for help. Is anybody willing to help me please? I'm using 32g wire and 325 mesh. I am doing everything perfect. The coil lights up awesome, but when I put in the wick, only the top portion of the wire gets hot and then burns out.
Actually nowhere in your previous post did you ask for help... you were just complaining that the AGA-T didn't come with instructions and I mentioned why... There is a lot of prerequisite knowledge that is needed... hence the mention that it was for Experts only ... Don't blame others for you taking steps that you were not ready to take yet and pointing it out to you by posting the info that you should have headed to start with..
You are supposed to test the ohms of the coils before you place them on the device so you don't risk shorting out your PV or battery, which should be common sense... You use either a multimeter or a specialized cartomizer and atomizer ohm meter. Testing ohms is a basic electronics skill that you should learn if you plan on going in this direction... but it is much to large of a subject to try to teach in a single post.
Here is a youtube on building coils on a SS mesh... using silica wick is similar and probably simpler to start with...
Thanks man, I was off base. I know how to test voltage with a multimeter. How do I test the ohms? I'm getting the coils to light up now evenly but the juice tastes burnt and horrible. Any ideas? I have only 4 wraps.
Back your voltage/watts down. You should start the low end, and work up. Also of note, most vapors agree #400 and some even feel #500 mesh wicks allot better than #325...(You may have a wicking problem with your choice of mesh/juice) The best thing to do IMO is start reading this thread

Been reading that thread sporadically. I'm wicking ok, none of the coils are lighting up. Now I redid everything and it tastes better, just not a lot of vapor now.
Set your multimeter to a low ohms settings... touch the leads together... a perfect connection would show 0 ohms but the leads and probably your connection isn't perfect... so work the leads together to get the lowest setting you can and make note of it... Next touch your leads to the outer threaded ring of the 510 connector and the inner post working the connection a bit so you are getting the best connection you can... Read the ohms value and subtract the value you had earlier to see what ohms you are at.
As zippy mentioned... start with your voltage/wattage setting as low as you can get it. If you aren't using a VV / VW device... nevermind, it doesn't apply.
Your coils need to be touching the wick evenly and completely or you end up having a hot wrap on the coil which can also lead to it burning the e-liquid. On silica wick, you don't want to have it too tightly wrapped or it may "choke" off the juice from wicking all of the way through also causing a hot wrap or several. On a SS mesh, you also don't want it overly tight or you end up with it shorting out with a coil. Making a good wick/coil set isn't quite an art, but it does require experience and if something isn't working properly... then you can't say you did it right so don't get discouraged.... just re-do it and after a while you will get the hang of it but everyone is different on how long it takes to learn it.
If you have a lead burn in two... suspect that you didn't get your SS mesh oxidized well enough and have a short... or it isn't in contact well enough with the wick to get cooled down by the juice.

Im waiting and waiting on restock of the aga t+. Any idea when GV will have more available?? Any on order??
2 weeks hopefully sooner they are jammed but many other styles on the way before then
Don't know what the got vapes price is, but I got 4 here recently. aSame exact thing as the Birkshire.
