New to mech mods

[tloc619]

Hello fellow vapors,

I have been vaping for 5 yrs now, and like almost everyone else worked my way up from pen styles to bigger battery mods. Anyhow the reason I am here is to gain the knowledge of mech mods and rba's. My current setup is a Galileo mod with aga-t2 I tried building 3 coils on ss mesh. First one I just wrapped 4 times on oxidized ss wick- burnt taste. After little research checked ohm read like 3.2-3.4. Tried a few more coils and tested ohms trying to get in the 1.x range since I read that I may get better flavor and vapor. The kanthal I have is 0.2mm and I believe the mesh is 400. My question is with my setup will I be able to achieve good flavor and cape or do I need to make some changes.

thanx in advance

welcome. i just started couple weeks ago. getting the hang of it. i was on it year before but could never find the right juice to vape

Yeah finding the right juice is a ongoing task for everyone I guess. There's always going to be new flavors and such.

I may not be too much help with specifics. Wire is generally expressed in "gauge" of the wire, so I have no clue what the mm of the wire is. I have two AGA-T2 RBA's. I had full intentions of using these on an AltSmoke Silver Bullet (mech mod), but found that I much preferred using them on my Provari's (regulated mods).

I use 30 gauge Kanthal (6 - 7 wraps) to make a 2.0 ohm coil (probably too high resistance for your mech mod) with pre-wrapped 400 SS mesh.

There are some information resources specifically for using the AGA RBA in my blog, linked below, which may be of use for you.

Sounds like your using 32 gauge wire. You try 30 gauge? My 4 wraps are in the 1 range. Try 3 wraps.

Check pbusardo's vid. He explained aga-t2 builds pretty well and what wire extra he uses.

Yah thanx for that info. Just browsed quickly and might try that washer trick. And will read more. Ty

 

[tloc619]

Awesome info Sthur. I will rematch that as soon as I get home ty

tried 3 wraps and the taste is a little better. I might also try a different liquid this new stuff im trying ectoplasm may be some of the problem. some say it was supposed to taste like the old school green freeze pop, but it tastes like im suckin on a old lime peel lol

The ectoplasm gunked up my coils on my RDA really fast. I haven't had any problems with the unicorn blood from fuzion. Its really good and doesn't leave my coils full of residue..
