Thank you vapdivrr. I do understand the resistance as I have some electronic background and love to tinker:) That is why I got the aga-t RA. I went ahead and ordered myself a provari :) I may even get a mechanical mod to play with. Also got me a nice little butane torch so I could oxidize my wicks. I can't wait till all my vape mail gets here :)) Thank you again for the nice wright up I did not know the provari could go that low on resistance so that helped a lot.

i dont think you will regret it one bit. the resistance marks for gennys are kind of split. some like to cram as many wraps of coils around a wick as possible, giving you higher resistances, maybe upwards of 2.0 and then going to like 5 volts. i personally do not like this way. coils like that take a little longer to heat, so there is like a delay when vaping. and also to me it generates more heat. i kind of like really low resistances, maybe lower than the norm. i usually vape at 1.0 ohms @ 3.4 volts. when using the provari if there is any kind of a short it will give you an error code, which is good because if you were using a mechanical mod there could possibly be issues. but i think most people go with resistances around 1.5 ish. but thats the fun of it all, checking out what your sweet spot is. but if you do have the provari you can go both ways. i would reccomend 28 gauge wire, 30 g at the thinnest. 32 imo is to picky. and for the mesh 500 rolled super tight works really well. also it is nice to have a mechanical mod. i will make a set-up on the provari and when its working well i can switch it to the mechanical mod. i have like 4 gennys and only 1 provari so i need to use my mechanical mod. your ohms on your coils kind of need to be around 1.2 to 1.4 ohms to work on the mechanical mod.(unless you stack batteries) if your coil is higher the one battery in the mechanical mod just wont push it. good luck again

Ok This is what I have:
1)Vamo
2) evic
3) c-twist
4) MVP
5) Lambo 4.0

Now I am looking for a high end device, so based on what I have what should I get? Or should I just be happy with what I have?

I drip a lot and just ordered a AGA-T RA so that is what I would be using the device for.

Please don't just throw out a device name. Tell me why I should go with that device. Please keep to devices that are currently on the market.

Thank's ahead of time.

Well they all vape, but a Provari is a Provari... best of the best... Have you tried a HH357 atty to increase your vape experiance?
Dripping is all I do.. over 3 years now and the HH's are really that good! Get the 3.0 ohm for a VV mod.

Ok just ordered some 28 and 30 gauge wire should be good now thanks again :)) now for the screen I like 100% VG would you still recommend 500 mesh?? I have 12X12 of 500 mesh on the way:)

yes, i have been using the 500 for a couple of months now and vape some all vg juices with no problems. the aga-t with the 500 does great with all vg juices. now i just got an ac-9 genny and i am having some issues with the wicking. so maybe certain devices could react differently. i spoke to the manufactor and told me that 325 mesh would perform better with this specific atty. thats hard to believe, so i am going to try the 325 mesh. now for the aga-t i have found that a really tightly rolled wick works better. some like a large center hole for a gravity sort of vape, some like a capillary type of vape style. rolled really tight you dont have to hold the device up to high to wick the juice. if the wick has a large hole in it you have to tip the device more. have tried both and to me the no hole works better. if you try a solid wick, for the aga-t and 500 mesh start out with a piece of mesh 4-1/4 in wide x 1-5/8 in long. pre oxidize, then roll the wick as tight as you can. then burn wick and quench, then roll it uo tight again. repeat this a couple of times and by the 3rd burn & quench you will then have a wick diameter that will fit into the hole. you are unable to roll the wick that tightly the first time. every time you burn & quench the wick tightens up a little more. to me part of the fun is messing around with different meshes,wires and ways that all this can work. everyones different and you may prefer this while someone else prefers that. with the aga the center post is quite far from the wick, so i just slightly bend the wick over a little. some people add a little washer to the top nuts to extend the distance. in the aga if you where just to coil the wick and connect to the center post nuts and did not bring over the wick somehow the distance is to far and you would indeed get a hotspot on the top coil. youll get it and like i said the words dripping will be a thing of the past.

I rerolled my mesh wick tighter for my did clone the other day and now the thing wicks like a friggin beast. Granted, the wick is slightly thinner now as well, so more liquid is coming out of the wick hole too. But originally, it wouldn't wick all that well if vertical ... now it's much faster. I think it came with 400 mesh but I'm gonna try 500 on my next buy and try it out as I've heard nothing but good things with the 500.

I use 70p/30v in all of my juices though.

Thank you so very much vapdivrr you have been so helpful and I truly appreciate that:) I will try just as you stated when I get all my vape mail. I will let you how I make out :)

you wouldnt think that there could be much difference between 400& 500, but i think there is. and the super tight roll seems to work the best that i have tried so far. have recently heard of 625 mesh but have not tried it. this whole vaping thing is in its infencey and thinks are moving so fast.

thats what this forum is all about. when i first started vaping i had no clue of much, that went on for like almost a year until i found this forum. since then i have learned so much.
