How often should this rba we re-wicked?

[NeKro13]

This is what I currently have on my K100 and its been about a little over a week now. The guys at the cape shop put it together... What would I need to get if I were to try and build it again. I want to learn so I dont have to take it to the shop all the time to replace it.

Also how are AGA-T2, They look very interesting. I like dripping and the feeling I get with, I just hate having to drip with rba i have while im watching, playing video games, or just being out on the town. What would I also need if i were to purchase the AGA-T2.

Honestly OP, I would try and master this before you move on to a genesis style. They often confound people who have been vaping for years. If you're tired of dripping while you're living you might want to look into getting a vivi nova, protank, or carto tank.

That looks like a revisited phoenix clone. I'd recommend some silica wick 3mm and 32g kanthal A-1 wire to begin with. You can get kanthal for cheap on ebay (search temco industries) and you can probably pick up wick almost anyplace with your next order. Do you have a multimeter, or a device that reads ohms? you want to make sure it doesn't have any shorts before you start using it.

Looks like the octopus with a different wick set up.
Your using it on a k100, I'd say grab 30awg or even 28awg rather then 32awg.

You can also get wire straight from temco's site, rather then hassling with ebay.

Edit: Also, don't let people scare you away from Genesis style RBA's.
They aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be. But you definitely need a multimeter or something to test them out on to make sure you don't have a short. Watch some videos on rebuilding them. And have at it. Only thing you would need that you don't also need for the RDA you have would be SS mesh.

I never really take my genesis atomizers out usually. People sure are quick to jump into them these days though. I would have to recommend the Smok Rsst for a first time user IMO it is the easiest to get set up. For a Dripper, iGo L, super easy to build and work great. For drippers I just wait until they start to taste funky to change them. Can't really say how often because it is contingent on what you vape and how much you vape, how close together your coils are, and other things I am sure I am forgetting. If it taste bad or you got gunk building up recoil and torch the silica, to me silica is pretty cheap so I just rewick when I need new coils. But if it is just gunk on the coils I dry burn.

Alright thanks for the tips guys. Ill start by getting good at my rba setup and once I get that down ill pick up the age-t2.
