I use an RSST which is of course quite like what you are using. I have absolutely no issues in fact the thing vapes too well and I rarely use it these days.

Roll the wick super super tight, only oxidize the upper part of the wick (leave the part of the wick that goes into the tank alone) cut a little snip out of the bottom of the wick at an angle before putting it into the tank, wrap your coil tight but not so tight it squeezes the wick, make sure air hole is next to wick and facing you when you vape.

I'm fighting my AGA-T2 right now, its a lot more failures than successes. You can either leave fill hole open or tip, but you can't do both.

On my AGA-T2 the fill hole is on the opposite side of the wick hole. If I tilt it to ensure the wick is saturated I don't get any leaking. :confused:

Thanks everyone the fill hole is open And I have tryed everything still no luck it has like a gross tast and a burn taste but thanks any more ideas

Is the coil contacting the SS mesh everywhere? If the coil is too loose and there is a gap between the coil and the mesh you can get a metallic/burnt flavor from it.

I had a similar issue and followed the method that has you wrapping the coil around a proper sized drill bit then sliding the wick through it and it worked first time! Cant remember the name of the guy that did it but it is on youtube and very easy.

Give it a try.

Peter K method. The Pbusardo video demonstrates 3 methods, Peter K being one.
