I am seriously considering an AGA-T2 but I really don't want to mess with SS mesh. DOes anyone happen to have a link to a video or even just photos of how to build this with Silica/cotton wick? I have kinda been crapping out finding one.

I did it the same as SS but spun the wick down between my fingertips with a little juice so it would do down the hole easily.

Not much different from using mesh. Also make the wick long so you can stick two ends into two holes for more wicking.

Any thoughts on the AGA-T2 or AGI?


Both are excellent with SS mesh. I didn't like either one with silica... it couldn't maintain a fast enough rate of wicking.

This is a photo of a "U-wick" I did on an AGA-T2, that's 3mm of silica, with a second 2mm silica "helper wick", so 3mm + 2mm of silica under the coil. I like to chain vape and it couldn't keep up. |

Maybe someone can suggest the secret to getting silica (or cotton, etc.) to work well in an RBA configuration but I can't. The AGI is a great dripper with silica and a good RBA with mesh. I like my Smok RDA Octopus with silica the best.

I have no problem so far. But take that with a grain of salt, since i use it almost exclusively in dripper mode. Its my favorite dripper and looks so clean on my Gus clone.

I want to put it on my Sigelei #8 but I'm kinda hesistant since I want it to look flush with my mod. Does it sit flush on your Gus clone? Any pics?

Now tell me that's not a sexy beast.

However, your Sig8 will not be flush. I sold mine because of that.

Why won't it be? I run an AGA-T2 on my Sig #8 and it sits flush. I didn't get a chance to try my buddies AGI on my mech but I have my own AGI in the mail as I type this. The center pin in the #8 is adjustable.

I'm a carto tank user, and I love the mobility of it, with a dripping RBA will I have the same mobility or will I have juice leaking into my pockets?

Mobility is notttttt drippers strong suit to say the least. How can you when you have to whip out a bottle to refill every minuteor two?
