love this aga t2.. whats this extra post?

[Brewmaster B]

I have researched this piece quite a bit, but still I wonder..

What is the post with the single philips screw in it for? I thought at first it was for locking down your wire before wrapping, but it is on the other side of the positive post from the wick hole.

Also besides the wick hole, there are 3 other holes. I guess this just gives alot of flexibility for whatever you may do with wicks or wutnot.

Loving this thing though... came in the mail today and was able to successfully wrap it and vape within maybe 15 mins. Did a 3 wrap and put it on my v2 manual cig (waiting on a bolt to arrive) first rebuildable ever!

So what's the extra post used for? what are some cool configurations you've made with all these extra holes?

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

Thats to capture the wire if you use rope wick.

Many people just pull out that post so they have another hole to use U-wicks or double wicks.

 

[Kloyn]

Mostly for different configurations and silica wicks

 

[Brewmaster B]

i had to look up rope wick... so that's just fabric right? why wouldn't the normal screws work for capturing that wire? Yes I'm very much a noob

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

When you use rope wicks you need 2 wick holes and a fill hole. So you have to take the normal ground screw out (the one you are capturing your wire with right now) to use as one of them.

Thanks for the advice! however, still there are 3 holes plus the extra grounding post, in addition to the normal wick hole... that's five.... what kind of triple wick wonder is possible here..?? Technically I could have 4 wicks and still a fill hole!

 

[Hoang Nguyen]

You can a single coil, dual coil, U-wick, and silica wick setup. Many leave an open hole for easy fill and airflow. Hope this helps!

Wait what... How do you get 5 holes here? Lol

Normal wick, normal fill, normal ground, pull a post out to get one more... Thats 4. Do you plan to pull out the positive post as well? Cause i gotta tell ya, that aint gonna work lol

There are three holes plugged by larger philips-head screws, one hole occupied by that post used for Silica wick, and the regular wick hole. That would be five.

Unless im more sleep deprived than a vampire and cant even count, i got 4 on mine - you guys probably have a different version? an extra hole would be pretty sweet though, more options.

I have the AGA-T+ like you, according to your signature. Perhaps you have the AGA-T or an older version of the AGA-T+. Who knows lol.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

Yeah i own the + for sure... Do you mind posting a picture of yours? This is so bizarre.

 

[Hoang Nguyen]

Yeah I went into my local vape shop yesterday and they showed me their AGAT2 and it was definitely different. You don't have to pull off the screw post to make a U-wick build anymore. They just added another hole. Cosmetics were the same in case you were wondering.

 

[Hoang Nguyen]

I compared it to my AGAT+ I got not too long ago. Definitely a revision I think. The box it came in was larger too with a plastic tray that slides out.

 

[Satava]

I believe that revised version with the extra hole is the AGA-W that we're starting to see in the wild finally.

I still like my T2/+ I just popped the post out of my second one today actually lol. It makes a good fill hole with no threads and as a bonus I can leave both of my screws in, no risk of losing one. Also with the front two holes being open instead of one of the back screw holes open, the tank can be laid down in the right position with up to 70% liquid in and never leak. I have a case that does a pretty good job of keeping it from rolling around.

 

[disentary]

been searching for the same answer as the tt.thanks

 

[Topher36]

I have two AGA T+ the first one is the standard one that seems to be talked about a lot. The new one has the extra hole. No biggie to me though they both vape great imo. Would like to know when they changed the design though.

 

[evgeny131]

About to buy the AGA T2 having a real hard time resising,,
however, im not into ss mesh yet, how well will it work with silica?

It's an okay vape to me. Better than any clearo or carto imo.

Thanks, that pretty much answers it exactly as i thought
the aga t2 is on the way and i guess i'll have to bring out the old torch....lol
