Aga-s first impressions

right my aga-s popped through my letterbox this morning (nice and quick, thanks Toby #ivapour ). It came with a little bag of spare o-rings, nuts and enough wick and wire for one coil) but no instructions so I was left to work it out myself. I unscrewed the top and was straight away impressed by the threads, nice and smooth and very positive. I pulled out the rubber bungs for the wick and loosened up the posts for the coil and then thought oh bugger this is small! I wasn't sure how my coil would fit as I'm using .2 kanthal. It took a couple of goes, mainly because I'm used to clockworks way of attaching the coil. It fitted surprisingly well and the holes for the wick are a really nice size so both sides went straight in first time! I fired it up and it is a fog machine, tons of vapour! It is a light airy draw and makes no whistles or hisses. The flavour seems really good considering my wick hasn't been fully broken in. It can also be used an a genesis style atty!
Looks wise this really looks good, everything fits really well and there are no gaps anywhere. It is all stainless so you can't tell how much juice is in it but at least it won't crack! There is one screw that I can't work out its purpose, I thought it was a filling hole but it doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Over all I am really impressed, I would have thought it was a much more expensive rebuildable atty/tank, lovely build quality and great performance so far. It only cost £16.95 from www.ivapour-elixir.co.uk

Not seen orange O rings before and which flavour Ainsley Harriot cuppa soup is that? Just right for this weather.

Looks good value PF!

Now I am seriously thinking of getting one of these!

Lol! Leek and potato for the price you can't go wrong (not on the cuppa soup, although that was 1/2 price in morrisons, lol)

Stainless Steel for that price is surely very good value especially if it works that well.

Plus I'd like to try this. Sorry. In a silly mood. I need caffeine.

 

[Mark]

How much juice does it take PF?

Does look good this!

I am very tempted by the Aga-T rather than the S, but one thing concerns me. When you say it is a light, airy draw, how light and airy do you mean? I like the draw on a ViviNova. I bought the Vision Eternity and the Smok Vivi Tank 2 and found them both a bit too airy for my taste. Not that there is anything wrong with them, I use them both regularly; they just aren't perfect. So, have you used either of these? Or to put it differently, how does it compare to a Vivi?

I haven't used either, but it is lighter than my rta. It's not so light that you don't know you're vaping but it feels effortless. The t has had brilliant reviews and is a bargain price I have had a few wicking problems (why oh why can I not just happily stick with a coil that works instead of fiddling and screwing it up!), but the first one was epic so I know it's me, not the aga, I think I've just got to get used to the smaller working space. I've also ordered some mesh to try it genesis style so I'll update it when I've tried it out. It will be my first experience with mesh so wish me luck!!!

OK thanks, RTA it is then!
