Picked one up today, dripped some juice on the premade coil and wick and bam! It was terrible lol. Even at the factory 2.8ohm coil it would burn at 3.5v. So I wraped my own using 2.5mm silica and 30g, wayyyyy better. Came out to 1.5ohm and rocks the house at 4v! 1 question, does anyone have a link or tips on a mesh wick setup? I have a aga-t+ and I have no problems rebuilding that. I have 400 mesh, 32 and 30g kanthal. Thanks for your help!

Just make an SS wick the same as you would for the AGA, and when you're done cut it into 1cm sections.
I wet a bit of cotton pad and rub it on the ends of the mesh to make sure something serves liquid to it, but that's it.
Extremely easy and brings the cost of wick down further! Woo! You might as well make a dual-coil while you're at it, it's so cheap!

The posts at this size are ridiculous, but if you twist the respective legs of the coils together tightly you'll be amazed how much easier it is to see and work with.
Not that I'm forcing you or anything.
If you don't fancy twisting, ribbon Kanthal will help you see as well.
All of this depends on which device and/or battery you're using and that dictates which wire gauges to use.

Anyway, stay single-coil and get that SS in there, everything's much better that way (apart from fruity juices apparently, but I prefer fruity juice with SS as well - score for me!).
