Ain't nobody got time for that! While I would love a hobby...four kids, a dog, and nursing school doesn't allow much time! I was checking out an AGA-T today and got skeered and buried the thread. Knowing my obsessive personality I'll be checking it out again tomorrow...

It's really not that bad once you get the hang of it. I can roll a ss wick, oxidize it, wrap the coil in about 15 to w20 minutes now. You just need to get past the intimidation factor.

Awesome, was that a Tosh.O reference?! Loved that one, if it was.

So I'm in Spokane and looked up vape shops locally, they have like 7 of them around these parts, including a vapors lounge! In eastern Iowa, not one :(

Bought some drip tips, some juices, and a t shirt, because I'm a huge dork as it turns out (my wife would find this as less than surprising). Oh and on my way out I ended up purchasing another vv device just because, it's good to have backups I've heard.

Anyway this is what I got: The Cannon

I haven't opened it yet, but did use the tester in the store, seemed pretty nice, very similar to a LT from what I can tell, at least aesthetically. A little heavier feel to it I think, but never having had an LT I'm just guessing on that. I'll let you know what I think after I have a chance to try it out. Comes with a thirty day full replacement warranty but I was told they will replace it anytime in all actuality, whatever that means. I'm sure if a full year goes by that wouldn't be the case. Hopefully wont have to find out the hard way.

Chakris, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to put down your keyboard and come with me. It'll be a lot easier on all of us if you don't resist. Oh, and if you have any children, we're going to have to ask you to rename them.

Sorry, but I was placed here by the Warner Bros. Copyright Protection Unit, and I'm just doing my duty.

Both are totally different and both give great vapes.

The Phoenix is a dripper with a rebuildable coil. You can use silica wick or cotton if you like. I've seen videos using ss mesh but I wouldn't even try it. With a silica wick, you won't have to worry about shorts. If you can wrap a coil around a piece of string, you can rebuild a Phoenix. The hardest part about the Phoenix is how small the parts and working area are. You need good eyes and a steady hand. It's not unlike rebuilding coils for a Vivi Nova.

The AGA-T2 is a genesis style RBA. You can certainly use silica in that as well, and if you do, it's very simple to build and you won't have to worry about shorts. The best vape you'll get from a genesis is with stainless steel mesh wicks and kanthal wire. If you're on a regulated vv device, use 32 gauge wire, but if you're on a mech mod you can get to genny bliss by using 28 gauge wire and wrapping 1ohm coils.

If you're totally new to RBAs and wrapping coils in general, I would start with a Phoenix. Use 32 gauge wire with that. Look up videos on YouTube about building coils on each device. Baby steps. If you have questions, post here or feel free to PM me.

Thank You! I'm probably gonna need a LOT of help...:laugh:

I agree with GT, I drop mine ALL THE TIME, in fact had a situation similar to Robin's where the thrad broke off a carto and remained in the Provari. I was lucky though and was able to get it out with a flathead screwdriver and didn't mess up the post. And two days ago, I darn near repeated the accident, the carto connector was half way out, so could still unscrew it, whew!

I do see possibly someday having to send it back to Provape, but I've had mine a year now, and works as good as the day I got it, with probably 50+ drops, some onto concrete surfaces!

EDIT: Now the dents it has created in our hard wood floors, continues to be a problem with the "boss" of my household!

I've yet to bring any of my "good" mods out of the house yet. Kinda scared in gonna drop it. I usually bring my eGo twists out and about and keep the vw vaping for home. Although in starting to bring this cheap mountain vapor battery mod out with me. Works nice with a 1.8ohm kanger T2.

My silica Aga T2 is still vaping like a champ.
I tried Nice Pear in a Vivi Nova, and there was just a hint of pear coming through in the vapor.
Just a crappy vape. Vivi Novas can suck it.
When I finished the Serendipity in the Aga I washed it out and filled it with NP and wow what a difference!
Loads of taste, now it felt like biting into a nice ripe pear.
