My first "noob help me" post

The AGA-T2 should work just as well with a SigMax as it does with a mech mod. You just need to get the coil built that is compatible with it. Their is loads of instructional videos on YouTube that give detailed instruction on how to set it up as well as the preferred materials to use. It always helps me to have the visual example when doing something the first time. Just go on YouTube and search AGA-T atomizers and you will get a list of different instructors doing instructional builds. I hope this will be helpful.

Forgot:

What BCC are you using? Have you tried a 2.4-ish ohm instead?

And regarding vapor output, what's the PG/VG ratio of your liquids? More VG = more vapor.

iSmoka Mega and 100VG

I guess i should also add that when I had it in VW i brought it up to 7.5w it tasted burned? Am I missing something?

Not really. More volt/watts doesn't automatically mean a better vape. 7.5w is running a 1.8 ohm coil really hot - things are gonna go harsh. Thus, my asking if you have tried something in the SR range instead.

{Shrug} Not sure, since with 3.7v and a 1.8Ω head your running 7.6w.

Very helpful. When I do attempt to build the AGA I might use a 2.4mm silica to limit the number of troubleshooting variables with the mesh. I've read most people use ss and i'll get there too.

For me it depends on what the JDS device is. I usually stay around 7w, except with my LR dripping attys which I run a ≈ 9w.

Yeah it came with a 1.8, 2.2 & 2.4 i believe. I only have a bunch of 1.8 from when i was running a mini bcc on an eGo. Need to buy more SR coils

I was just thinking of resistances in general when I answered before. I've found the BCCs can get fussy when the heat's turned up. I've got 2.5Ω heads I can't run over ≈ 4v (≈6.4w) without them tasting burnt.

That was my more general point - you might be able to run any given device "hot" - doesn't always work out well. Coil size. Wick material, overall size/length placement & "style" - it all factors in to what volts/ohms will produce a good vape.

Sadly, most of these "vendors" don't have a darn clue what they are doing, let alone, try to tell you about a product. [...]

So true...

Walked into a shop last week (tobacco shop posing as a vape shop) and they had an eVIC in the cabinet. I asked if they had any other mods. The guy looked at me and asked, "What's a mod?"

 

[ChristopherJamesTCB]

Ok guys i couldn't resist the urge i had to go for it. Found myself some ekowool and 30awg kanthal. After a couple tries i landed with this. 4 wrap at 1.5ohms and it's wicking very well (currently chain vaping with minimal tilting) I'll get into the ss mesh later but for now ekowool is my new best friend. Thanks again my dudes
