Quick RBA question.

[ashechtman]

Hey guys I'm finally upgrading my ego twist to a provari and i'd like to get a rebuildable to go with it. I want a dripper for home and a tank to go. ATM, I'm deciding on either getting the aga-t2 and igo-l or just the hybrid AGI. Price is not an issue. Also, do any of these mentioned systems leak or spit juice in your mouth? cuz i cant stand that.

 

[jareebz]

I haven't ventured into to rba's yet but I've been reading a lot about them lately. I think the AGI is overrated and if price doesn't matter, might as well get an aga and an igo and see which works better for you.

I've had my AGA-T2 running for about 6 weeks without one singe bit of juice spitting. However, as I have it set up, it will leak if left in a horizontal position long enough. That's because I do not have a screw or plug in the fill hole. I've heard of folks keeping the fill hole screw in there, but I just haven't gotten around to trying it.

My RDA is a Saturn Venus which has never leaked or spit at me. It's a little airy and makes for a cool vape with its coil so far down at the bottom. It can hold an Ego tank, but the drip configuration holds at least as much juice as the tank.

Those are my only rebuildables so far. Got an RSST on order, though.

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you didn't get Provape's Z-Atty-Pro with your ProVari? I also have a ProVari on its way here and was very tempted to add it to the cart, but money is an object for me

 

[ashechtman]

I didn't get a z-atty pro simply because I don't wanna spend 150$ just on an atty. Also, I plan on using silica wicks for both the igo-l and aga-t2, anyone know if the aga-t2 is good with a silica wick? I'll probably set it up in a U style. Last, how do the aga and igo look on the provari?

 

[ashechtman]

I'm set on the igo-l for the dripping atty. I'm still open to suggestions for a rebuildable tank. ATM the aga-t2 seems like it would best suit my needs but if anyone has other suggestions then lemme hear em. Requirements- Must be able to use a silica wick, no leaking, no spitting, good airhole, must have 2 wick holes, and must look decent on the provari

The Igo-L is a great rebuildable and you can use silica, cotton, or stainless steel wicks (or wire rope or ceramic) to practice rebuilding. For a genesis style tank, the Aga-T2 is a solid choice. But my preference is for a larger wick hole and the RSST is a good beginner genesis with an insulated large wick hole and a spring loaded center post for easier rebuilding and less hot spots.

 

[Bimini Twist]

I haven't used silica on the AGA-T2 and the USPS got their estimate all wrong for delivery of my ProVari so it's not here yet. I'm curious, too. I ordered the satin silver V2.5 model.

I can say that the AGA looks as if it was made to go with my SS Vamo.

 

[ashechtman]

Michliu can the aga-t2 be effectively used with a U silica wick?

I haven't done it, but it is set up so you can use a u wick, silica or stainless steel, by using the fill hole as your additional entry into the tank. There's also a raised negative post, just like the posts in the Igo-L to wrap the coil for your u-wick.

 

[donnah]

The IGO-L works great on a provari. A ss mesh on the other hand is tricky to set up on a provari due to the built in protection. It can certainly be done..you have to make sure your wick is fully oxidized or you'll get an E1. When I set up a mesh rba for a provari, I wrap my coils for 1.2ohms. The RSST is really easy to set up and around $30.

You can remove the taller post too on the AGA-T2 to make a U-wick, just need pliers to pull it off. This one is setup with SS.

 

[ashechtman]

Very nice, well it looks like I'll get an igo-l and an aga-t2, both with silica wicks. I heard with a silica wick on the aga you have to keep it tilted horizontally?

 

[ashechtman]

Only thing is i'm looking at some pictures of an aga on a provari and it dont look too good :/ Something smaller and sleeker would be nice.

 

[Statistic]

I've tried silica, 500 mesh, 400 mesh and SS rope wicks in my AGA.. haven't found one yet that I can vape without having to do the genny tilt.

Nice looking wick Aoi~, I think I may have to give a mesh U wick a try soon

 

[Robber]

The AGI has an issue, being the center tank post is a spring..this makes it kinda weak in genny mode..ads about .4ohms to the atty
but when you mod the spring with some kind of brass/copper tube it performs awesome...has a glass tank and looks good.
doesn't shoots liquid, just clouds, topcap design is good

on mine the screw on the extra dripper post was stuck..impossible to move..maybe ask the vendor to check this if you get one.

 

[ashechtman]

Then again theres also the aga-s... That's smaller. Any comments on that one? In comparison to the aga-t2

 

[Robber]

I only have the igo-s, which is a cool little dripper..
nice & stealthy on an ego..

i guess aga-s is the same kind of build but with a tank...
the wick hole might a bit small ?

Hmm. I forgot about that conical shape on the ProVari. I've just seen some photos of Provari rings that might make some difference in appearance. The site I looked at was out of stock, but there were other vendors - one that seems to be reachable only by PM on some other forum and another in Korea that was cheaper - but with shipping came to about the same price.

I think I'll hold off digging deeper until my gear arrives. I may not mind the looks enough to buy a beauty ring.

[Edit] Of course, the ring won't help if you're talking about the length of the AGA in proportion to the Provari.

It's tough to beat the look of a ZAP on the Provari.

im in the same boat. i dont know if i dislike the look of the AGA-T on the provari enough to get the pro-ring. sure, i want it but thats a hefty price tag for a tiny piece of metal/delrin.

originally, i had gotten the AGA-T for my vamo. but the vamo is so light that the AGA makes it top-heavy. and the threads on the vamo are loose and i feel like the weight of the AGA makes them even looser. it sucks becasue the AGA looks stellar on the vamo, it just doesnt feel stellar. maybe in 18650 mode the vamo would hold the AGA better, but i just cant get into the super long look of the 18650 vamo.

the weight of the AGA and the weight of the provari go together. it makes for a very solid feeling device with the right kind of weight distribution.
