I'm getting spoiled....

[Scoop224]

Holy cow! Can it possibly get any better than what I'm experiencing now??? I have got both AGA's dialed in and flat out rockin' the house with vapor! I can't believe the vape that I'm getting...... I'm a bit spoiled now, and even though I still want to love cartos an tanks.... especially since i bought nice ones....2I don't know if I can. The difference is huge!

I've got one on the Vamo, a 1.3 ohm coil seeing 3.2volts.
and the second on the provari with a 1.7 ohm seeing 3.6v

I can't believe this device is less than 30 bucks!!!

I've been practicing my wrapping and hot spot fixing and I can understand why these are so popular at the moment! No kidding, I'm getting good at making wick & coil so once I get into a Cobra or something, I will be set.

I emplore each of you to at least try a vape from a rebuildable that's set up correctly. It's unbelievable! For me, there is completely new standard of flavor, DENSE vapor, and overall enjoyment of the act of vaping. It's nice to have so much vapor you can "play" with it in multiple exhales from one drag.... That's not an exaggeration either!

it's a paradigm shift.

Hi Scoop,

That's awesome you've found great success with the Agas.. Now come over and show me!

 

[Scoop224]

It's a little far to hop across town and help you out.... Haha! But what I really found helpful was a video by Junkyrock13.... Really easy to follow procedure and works everytime I use it. The vape is out of this world!! Total game changer right here!

Don't give up! It's WORTH it!!!!

Wait until you get some fatter wire and a mech mod! You ain't seen nothing yet!

 

[Scoop224]

I now totally understand how coil composition and design work in concert with the battery to put out as much vapor as possible! I'm really glad I decided to venture into this territory, instead of just relying on pre made products thst were limiting factors in achieving this kind of vape. If I can figure this stuff out, anyone can!

 

[Renolizzie]

Very exciting, Scoop.

It took me a while to get it dialed in but your right, once its working the flavor is great. Do you use the nail or wrap on the wick? My best success was wrapping around the wick.

 

[Scoop224]

I actually do use a nail.... Since I broke that size drill bit a while back and hadn't replaced it yet. I just took the tip of the nail and its rough spots off with a grinder and wire wheel, but I could have just scratched it on the concrete to smooth it down. Works great!

Very cool information. I have only been vapeing for nine weeks. I am looking forward to doing my own build. The video shows how easy it is to do. I can't wait.

The kit came with some 34awg Kanthal I believe. But I immediately grabbed some 30awg for my next set of coils.....those are giving me a nice thick and especially "cooler" vape. Just unreal... What can I say?

 

[Hello World]

These El cheapo AGA-T2s for $ 25 have been performing every bit as good as my $ 150+ ZAP ... the vape is just awesome ... 30ga Kanthal gives me just about everything I could ask for, plus they have additional room for much larger wickhole mill-outs than the ZAP has, thus much higher potentials.

 

[Scoop224]

I completely agree! Best purchase I've made since starting vaping.... For the money these can't be beat.. Looks Like I got mine at he perfect time too, since there seems to be a shortage of them right now....I'd like to have a couple more.... Even my wife agrees that these things are incredible!

Chinese New Year is over so they'll be showing up everywhere soon.

Looks like the RBA bug has bitten HARD!

It's OK, now you get to graduate to the next step: Try some 500 mesh SS & Kanthal ribbon wire.....then on to fishsticks! (ceramic wicks)... There's something new happening every day in this arena ...Lots of fun if you like to tinker, and some of the results have been spectacular.

Keep learning Grasshopper...

BTW.. if you like playing around with a Genny ...here's another nice inexpensive RBA I've been very impressed with: the Vulcan...it's a DID mini clone that's actually pretty well built, and the performance is very impressive:

Vulcan (DID Clone) - Rebuildable Atomizer Tank (Clear Tank)

It vapes like a dream once you set it up right, and I noticed that it's not quite the juice-hog that the AGA-T is....You can't beat it for $17 (or a buck less if you get the steel tank version) !

Have fun...

 

[Scoop224]

I already got some 500 and made one wick with it already. I'm toying with the idea of the twisted wire soon.... But if you have a link for that ribbon wire, I'd ve all over that.... The Bakero wire guy got booted from here I think...

I just ordered mine off of eBay. most of it comes from England or Germany.:

The dimensions of the stuff I've used is .5 X .1 mm, which is roughly equivalent to 30 ga. I've ordered some of the other sizes to see how they work out, but the .5X.1 has given great results. The only caveat to ribbon wire is that you have to give it one or two extra wraps than you are using with your round wire to hit your desired Ohm rating, so getting it onto a short wick can be a challenge.....but worth it. I'm still learning with this stuff myself.

BTW: The drill-bit method works perfectly with the ribbon wire. Very few problems with hot-spots as long as you have a properly oxidized wick.

Give it a shot, you might like it....

Getting frustrated in buiding a great set up on my AC9. I don't seem to have a problem with my other Gennys. Glad to have some vapers that stick with it to keep me trying. I dropped quite a bit of cash on this RBA style so I hope to get my ideal vape on someday.
