Introducing the AGA - Hydra and the AGA - Tiamat Rebuildable Atomizer Tanks

[Dieseler]

ERik will these new upgraded glass tanks and grommets fit the last AGA -T looks like they will as i kinda doubt they would have changed the stainless base and top.
If so will you get a supply of them so we can upgrade them to newer setup .

 

[gormly]

That new design will not allow both IBTanked "AGA-T" tanks to fit I think. They are different glass thicknesses and this grommet is for a given size.

Eric, Is this "upgrade" an option or a no choice replacement?

This is the new version, I have no say in the matter (yet) but I do not see a fundamental change here I think (but not sure because I didn't check) that the orings will still work, so if I get some from them I will test it out. Or if I get a return.

unfortunately I gave away all the parts I had for people who lost them or needed a spare something.. so like an idiot I do not have the original two. This is what I get for helping sometimes

I will ask them what options I have and see if I can get a mix or if that is even needed.
I apologize for not being 100% on this stuff, I am maxed out time wise

The size is the same, it should fit all of the AGA's like the plastic does and the "original" glass.

I was asked by the maker of the wick to post this for feedback..

How many people can open up the wick holes in their devices to 7/64 or 1/8”.
so just kind of a poll, not sure what the meaning is.


also
I have tracking on 33 packs of 3/32 ceramic wicks Not sure of date it has not been updated yet, they went out today.
Maybe Saturday, not 100% sure.

Eric,
I'm good for now, I was just curious for future purchases if the grommet style would accept both tanks (2 different glass thicknesses) from IBTanked. From your picture the grommet looks to be sized for a given tank thickness and a thicker one may not sit in the grove. It might, but nobody has crossed that bridge yet so time will tell.

I received the new AGA-T+ in today, yet another version.

This one has the 1.2mm airhole, so slightly larger and it has new grommets with lips instead of just orings to sit the plastic/glass on.
That said, the new grommet makes it mute because it has a lip that goes on the outside of the glass/plastic and seals it.

Ok so pictures:

Grommet on the top

Grommet installed on both sides:

Eric say the AGA-T+ is upgraded. Do you know if purchasing an AGA-T2 would come with the same "upgrade or ship with original cap and o-rings?

 

[Dieseler]

Can we buy just the upgraded tank and the upgraded grommets as spares for our AGA's ?

I am working on the answers, it seems they are now putting out three of them which is annoying.
to answer your question directly though, yes...I am getting spare grommets, if I had known the new one would come with them I would have bought them already.

for the forseeable future I am going to just buy the AGA-t+ and skip the one with the glass installed, glass seems to be a sore spot with them, I would rather give out free companion glass with a premade plastic tube unit than send a potentially leaky aga-T2
From what I know (and this may change) the new versions will all be with the grommet, but I am confirming this.

 

[Dieseler]

Erik spare grommets is ok but would also need the tank as its top part is grooved to accept that grommet.

 

[eHuman]

Actually I don't think the tank is grooved, just the grommet that has the inner lip. I looked back at the photo and realized that by cutting that inner lip off of the grommet, a thick walled IBTanked stock AGA-T will fit. Tank seal is still accomplished through compression of the grommet so easily modded.

 

[Dieseler]

Ehuman thanks i see what you mean now. I was looking at the pictures of the revised tank and the top rim looked grooved for the lip of the grommet to go into but now looking again its just shiny and looks that way and the innner lip of grommet actually goes inside the tank then once screwd all together like you mention compression tightens the seal to hopefully not leak.

Look forward to the grommets as spares when they go up on Erics website to try them out .
Thanks guys. ; )

Well I have managed to break two cobalt bits trying to drill out the 1/8th hole with lube & a drill press Bent the whole piece "had it clamped down to tight" still didn't get the hole drilled out completely....Time to order another one from ya & I will leave the new one as is...Guess I wont be trying out the 1/8 ceramic on the aga anytime soon BTW your shipping is top notch

Is that the T2?

The T, with a larger wick hole to start with was pretty easy for me to drill out with some cheap bit and a hand drill.

The 1/8" bit even went in from the top part way. And the whole time I was putting pressure towards the center to keep it from the o-ring.

My hole ended up a tad over 1/8". FWIW the T seems like a better choice over the T2.

I broke a bit on my first attempt with the drill press. Afterward I used the pecking technique to remove a little stock at a time. It is always a good idea to take stock off slowly with ss, since it is so hard. After you get the hole made you can ream it with the bit for a smooth and slightly larger hole.

 

[RonsPlc]

well, I managaed to drill out 3 of these babies to 1/8" without a problem... 2 with a hand drill, and 1 with my drill press.
They are tricky, but can be done.

 

[gormly]

Ceramic wick is back in stock (small amount) in the 3/32 size, more coming soon of both sizes.

Did you sell out of the 1/8" in TEN MiNUTES?

 

[Keithhe]

I've been stalking the site for a week, sometimes hitting it several times an hour. Yes, I know I'm obsessed, but I REALLY WANT THESE !!

From the post, I think he just had the smaller ones. I need the 1/8" ones.

I have had no problem drilling out the AGA-T2 with cobalt. Slow is the trick

 

[gormly]

Just had the 3/32's for now, a larger order is in the works, will post when the tracking comes online and this time I will have pre-ords so as soon as I get tracking I will post, so I can order more faster.
