Steam Monkey Product Updates and Discussion: Join the Troop!

[Olinb]

I think I finally figured it out. I have the AGA-T+ which is apparently much different than the original AGA-T hence the confusion over the air hole not lining up. I am guessing the post with the screw in the top is just a different type of negative post? Now, if I could just get a working SS mesh wick.....sigh

 

[eHuman]

Does anyone know of a video or photo review of the AGA-T+ that describes each of the parts? I.E. what is the little raised post with the small screw and two tiny holes in the side? I know where the wick hole, positive and negative holes are. But I am totally in the dark over this lining up of an air hole. Why all this sanding? The very top piece of my AGA just snaps on. Is that what people are sanding and if so why? A good review of just what each screw/post/component is would help me understand what everyone is talking about. I think.

That post with the hole and screw is a negative post to be used for cloth wick option, not used when SS wick is installed.
The screw next to it is the tank fill screw (which is the same size and thread as the negative screw).
Sanding. This was done on the AGA-T screw on cap to help line up the air hole with the wick. On the AGA-T+/2 it is not needed as the cap has o-ring making it possible to adjust the air-hole line-up.

weeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry for the absence. I'm moved into the new house and getting the store and everything set up right now. Finally got my internet and computer working so I was able to pop in for a quick update

Shipping got delayed 1 day because of the move but any orders placed after friday afternoon will be going out today. Sorry for the delay and radio silence But... YAY new house!

 

[Extraunordinary]

Congrats on the new house Lance! I too recently moved, and completely understand the PITA it can be. I am looking forward to seeing some of the awesomeness you'll be bringing to us this year.

Mornin monkeys...

Gonna be launching a new category on the store soon... the LWIF category. (Look what I found..)

Basically everytime I get items in stock I keep at least one back incase I have to do a replacement or something after I sell out of the item. A lot of the stuff that's "out of stock" on my store right now, I've got one or two sitting in my overflow bin. Things like mini vivi novas, Zmaxs, CCTS+extension tube, some panasonic batteries, etc. I'm going to be listing them as "specials" they may be slightly or deeply discounted from the regular price and rarely I'll have a 'special' item up, something I've made like a one off mod, or something completely random like a hand made hardwood pen my wife made on her lathe... it's gonna be sort of a junk drawer sale I'll make a formal announcement as soon as I'm launching it but I figured I'd give you fellows the heads up.

This sounds like a very cool idea.

Thumbs! I am planning on ordering some staples from your site soon, I'll definitely check that section out

 

[Lance_Wallen]

Hopefully I'll have mesh and wire back in stock in a day or two. I'm still settling into the new house and haven't set up my workshop yet which I need to process the wire and mesh. Cutting down 60 sq meters of mesh in 1m wide rolls into 6x12inch sections is... well, it's a royal pain in the .... lol.

Then cutting spools of kanthal into 3ft lengths and wrapping them all is also sort of a pain in the .... hah.

 

[eHuman]

Offer 20' sections for $6. It could cut your cutting/winding time down.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

yeah but people don't usually want 'big' chunks like that. They just buy it cause that's what's available.

3ft of kanthal will last you a good long while and with how fast things change right now in the vaping world it's less wasteful cause by the time you start to run out of 3ft of a wire there might be something new out you wanna try.

Any ideas when the AGR tanks will come back in stock?

 

[Lance_Wallen]

I will hopefully be placing at least an initial re-order tonight.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

I'm going to be placing some orders tonight to get restocked. I won't be ordering 'everything' as I'm waiting on a couple of business developments but the mesh/wire/RBAs/Agrs/Twists/Novas will deffinitely be getting put back in stock ASAP.

 

[neoexodus]

updates on the homegrown devices?

 

[Lance_Wallen]

My manufacturer fell through so I'm working on finding a new shop to work with. Still planning this year but not as fast as I'd hoped.

Currently On order:

Ego twists + 510-USB chargers
CCTS and extension tube.
AGR Carto tank
Aga-T+
Igo-L
Igo-S
Carto punches
Boge Cartomizers
the Kick by Evolv (limited run to go with the CCTS)

Hopefully ordering tonight:
Drip tips
More 510-Ego adapters
Bridgeless 306 dripping atomizers
More Kanger T3s

Coming as soon as my supplier gets back in stock:
Vivi novas, Mini Vivi Novas, replacement heads for the vivi novas.

Changes to the inventory:
I'm going to be changing the Ego Twist kit.
Current: Ego Twist 1100mAh Stainless Steel finish, 5x 2.0Ω Boge cartomizers, 510-USB charger, USB Wall charger, generic drip tip.
Changing to: Ego Twist 1100mAh Stainless Steel finish, 1x Kanger T3, 1x Bridgeless 306 Dripping atomizer + 306 Drip tip, 510-USB charger.


I'm dropping the wall warts because the vast majority of people don't use em or already have a hundred of them.
I'm changing from Boges to the T3+306 dripper so people can drip to test juice then fill up the T3 with the one they end up liking. I've still gotta evaluate prices but the kit price will change a little, if I can get some better deals negotiated on some stuff I might include 2 T3s in the kit.

I will, obviously, create a new instructional video to go with the new kit.

 

[d9mel]

Eta on the kick?

 

[Nitrobex]

Glad to hear you are getting the kick and the CCTS extension and more agat+'s

<pulls out his credit card and refreshes the website so he can break the cart system again, seems like its a tradition when I am ordering CCTS's>

 

[Lance_Wallen]

It's shipped UPS ground, I'll hopefully have em next week. The rest of my stuff is coming out of china obviously so it'll be a week min, most likely 2 weeks before it's here.
