TAE (Tilemahos Armed Eagle)

[Yaya]

the TL;DR:
getting the wicking right is everything and it took me a long time to do so (ish...).

Wicking, for me, has been a challenge. and i still don't get it right every time. i have a kayfun prime, which i can wick with my eyes closed and it's still great. for the TAE, i have to be so very carefull to get it just right, it surprised me.

during the first few weeks, it never seemed to work. even when it wasn't a dry-hit, it wasn't a good vape. turns out i'd been using too much wick for the TAE. (and started doing that because the first few tries, it leaked all over my mod (for not using enough cotton)).

what i do now is use a longer but thinner piece of cotton (it pulls right through the coil with no resistance) but about 15mm of cotton on either side of the coil/TAE. then, i GENTLY (!!!!) let the cotton fall into the base/deck without pressing on it at all. i prime the cotton much more than any other atty i have, and start vaping with the juice flow control closed. only when the juice from priming is decreased sufficiently and the wick and atty are warmed up, i start opening the liquid flow control. though never more than 1 full turn.

doing this, the vape is nice.

i also have the TA, and i had no such problems. the TAE, at least for me, is just difficult to get right (and quite different to wick from any other atty i have).

i still don't trust it enough to take it with me, and after filling there's generally more gurgling than i'm comfortable with (and juice in the bottom cap/ring (and i do wick with the reducer installed and check that the cotton isn't touching the reducer)).

ps: i use 50/50 pg/vg.

Hi, I also found the wicking problematic but keep at it, you’ll find the sweet spot and then easy peasy.

Guys, all people say that TAE has the best feeding around, so I suppose that dry hits come because of too much wick on channels.

Take a look on this video and coil your TAE like this

Still working on it, getting better every day now, just waiting for 2.5 and 3.0 mm center pins to arrive. Still love my Tilemahos V2 the best though. Once I get the wick and wire where I want it on the Eagle though...

Yup, found the sweet spot. Put in the 3mm center pin, draw is right where I like it. Twisted 30 ga Kanthul wrapped around a 2.5 mm pin with rayon.

It is so nice to have so many options on a device. I am in a little bind, will the 3mm and 3,5mm AD center pins be available in North America for order? I don't want to sound .....y but 6 euros for parts and 10 euros for shipping.

I will find a way to get what I need, I may take th1 1mm one and have someone make the hole 3mm if possible that's what I am looking to do, The bell shape does look interesting as well more room and better flow is what I would think. Thanks Adam

 

[imeothanasis]

good idea adam. These pins are easy to manipulate them because they are very simple!

Hi Imeo,
Great job on the new TAE domed chimney/mouthpiece. works really well and the airflow is as smooth as it could be.

I’d really like to see a decent picture of this item as the GG Store (Spain) picture is so dark and at an odd angle that I can’t make out any clear detail. Can’t buy it if I can’t see it.

Aw man, I missed the boat on the curved mouth pieces. Imeo/anyone - any idea if/when these will be back in stock? Maybe with the next Cybrillions?

 

[imeothanasis]
