Looking for a little AGA-T2 help

[Brokil]

Hello folks,

So I made the move to a mech (which I do so enjoy) device and the AGA-T2 atty. However, I am having a tid bit of trouble that is starting to make me want to strap some C4 to this atty and watch it blow to kingdom come.

I am getting little to no vapor no matter the setup I have tried. Now I have been rebuilding coils on various things for a while and never been this frustrated. The coils were made with varying wraps from 3/2 5/4 and 6/5 with 34 and 32 guage standard wire and .5mm ribbon. Just to eliminate wraps and different ohm ratings. The coils ohms range from 1.3 - 2.5 depending on the wire and wraps in question. Setups are listed below. If anyone has better suggestions, please guide me. I am preferring ribbon wire because it did help give a little more vapor but nothing near what it should be.

Attempted setups (base wick is 7x19 SS Rope, wicks better than 7x7 for me anyway):

Unoxidized SS 500 mesh "cap" on SS Rope
Oxidized SS 500 mesh "cap"
Tried the above with 400 mesh as well. Still nada.

Each above were tested with all the wire and wrap combos stated above.

Coils glow evenly with no hot spots. I have done everything I can think of. The draw is where I like it. Should I consider going further down in ohms with say .7mm or .8mm ribbon wire? How many wraps would you suggest, etc.?

I appreciate any suggestions and help before I sacrifice this atty to the great explosion gods lol.


Kind Regards,
Brokil

Im still fairly new to rba's myself, and recently got a AGA-T2. I havnt had much luck either using it with ss mesh.

So I built a micro coil with long legs to bring the coil right to the edge of the deck as close to the air flow hole as possible, put in some silica wick, and its has been working pretty good now...

AGA-T2 filled with NLV Bounty Hunter
Airflow hole drilled out to 1.6mm (1/16)
30g Kanthal
2.5mm Silica U-Wick
9/10 wrap micro coil around a 1/16 drill bit


Also have you drilled out your air flow hole? It comes with a tiny 1mm air flow hole, and the bigger you drill the air flow hole out to the bigger clouds/vapor you will get...

I have not drilled it out. I strongly dislike airy draws and the current draw it does have is nice for me.

Just one of those things I'd like to get it working properly before I start thinking about modifying it too. Especially drilling out things, especially being that is permanent x)

What kind of juice you're using. AFAIK, higher ratio of VG will be helpful for vapor production, I'm using 50/50 juice with ohm reading at 2.4 (300 SS mesh and 32g A1 Kanthal). I pretty like this setup so far.

Also, please ensure the air hole is line up to coil.

Good to know as I have this RBA arriving tomorrow. Keep us updated OP

Take 400 mesh and wrap a small piece of it around a piece of 2.5mm silica wick nice and thight then wrap a 4 to 5 wrap coil of 28awg around it and enjoy. Its a nice tastefull vape if done correctly...
