Mech Mod for AGA-T2

[Hello World]

I have thought about the power cycles before when considering mechs, and concluded that it should not make sense: 33.3 cycles per second on a VAMO and flat line DC on a mech should not be detectable by human sense of taste. The temperature of the coil should not oscillate nearly enough with 33 cycles per second.

That is a "Belief" subscribed to by some people, not others. I actually don't know, and although that line of reasoning makes sense, it's not been factually substantiated. However all electronic mods have a quality in common that completely destroys the taste. It's not a minor subjective thing, I mean the beautiful lovely flavor I have come to love is completely gone.

Then i came up with another explanation: the calculation for wattage is skewered. For example, i vape my AGA-T2 on a VAMO at full power 15W (arguments can be made whether or not it actually reaches 15W unstacked, but it is full power). On a 0.9 ohm coil, a mech that puts out 3.7V should put the coil at 15W as well. However, due to voltage drop, inevitable in mechs, you are actually running much lower wattage than the math would yield.

Not applicable as we are talking about 1.4 ohms and 3.7 volts.

The most accurate way to determine the numbers, in my opinion, is to meter between center post and negative screw of the RBA: at 15W on VAMO, 1.2 coil, it reads 3.8V. On my mech, same coil, it reads around 3.2V. I meter on the VAMO again, adjusting wattage with each try, and 3.2 between post and screw corresponds to 11W on the VAMO.

Again, neither applicable nor do any numbers have any bearing on the flavor differential. Not any metering issue, I wouldn't have brought this up if these factors had not been previously accurately established. We're beyond that. There is NO adjustment of any kind that can be made on an electronic mod that can replicate the gorgeous flavor taste on the mechanicals.

Interesting. I still do not believe it is the power cycles, since you said your Provari has the same issue, and Provaris chip is 800 cycles per second. Call me crazy, but humans cant detect that.

When you dry burn, does the coil glow differently between mechs and electronics?

the provari does actually use pulse width modulation (duty cycle). They just do something weird on the internals to make the output constant. Im no electric genius but you can google it.

I threw out about the amperage and amp limits, any ideas there?

I'll leave the banter to you guys... As I hit my .8 ohm coil.

@OP- If you can get verified in time there is an interest thread in Co-Ops for a gold and chrome GGTS clone.

I'm not stating a fact that power cycles are the cause of it, but a possibility as my post clearly indicates, since I have no other explanation which would shine any light on it. What is factual however is that the electronic mods cannot render my flavors, I cannot even tell what kind of flavor it is, whereas the mechanicals beautifully render the Pear essence.

I'm not new to gennies, but I picked up an aga-t2 for tinkering purposes and it's sitting on top of my Natural by Smok. 28g kanthal with a 3/4 and its good vape. Total cost; $80

@helloworld,

Ugh, i hate that feeling when i vape natural flavors on regulated mods.
Had a Tasty Vapor watermelon bubblegum, and all it gave me was a burnt paper taste. Almost puked.
Back to the mech, it's great!

i think you missed my point entirely... but alright.


i was saying it is better to save for something a little better than jump on something he might not want just to have it because he thinks he needs it, he doesnt NEED it right this second unless he is wrapping low res coils and it doesnt even matter because, like i said, if he doesnt mind or wants something along the 40-60 dollar line then pull the trigger. I was mostly just making a suggestion, never did i say to stick with only a VAMO.

I wish I could I don't have enough posts yet.

since this post is for mech mods, i figured i would post it here, i have a sigelei teliscope with and aga t2. but now my mech wont fire at all. why? battery is full charged, conections look good.

 

[TutsiGarcia]

hey guys did you like the aga t2??? I bought it after reading all the raving reviews and actually hated it... built a perfect coil after a couple of hours, but the flavor is pretty muted =(
