Aga td

[RSJFT]

Hey blokes... Picked up an AGA TD genni today... Ummm how do I make it work? Searched the how to section and couldn't find a walk through... Anybody know where i can find one? There's a bunch online but I trust you guys more... I'd prefer writing with pictures on account of my phone sucks for YouTube

Thanks a bunch

Okay.. Update... Got it set up... Reading .5 ohms go to fire it there's a flash, a pop then about a millimeter of kanthal between the top of the coil and the positive post is just...gone...this has happened three times in a row...its a Houdini act..help!

With my limited knowledge, it sounds like you might have an over lapping coil, causing a hot spot. The amount of work room in that is not very big either is it.
If you can get a piccy up, and/or more info. on the build. I'm quite sure someone with better knowledge will be along.

i had nothing but problems with my aga.....in fact, it put me off rebuildables completely for a few months, and i went back to my iclear 30s......

Got it chugging away..6/5 wrap 28gage kanthal coil..ss mesh...reading at 1.8 ohms...no hot spot...firing slow ..not getting the cloud it should produce... more like a pro tank on the tail end of its lifespan than the cloud machine I've seen
Any thoughts?
PS too dumb to figure out how to post a pic
Thanks

I stick a core of cotton wool in the middle of the mesh and it helps the flavour and the vapour production. I've also seen folks saying the fill hole is too small. I use it as a vent and fill up down the side of the coil with a syringe. Juice goes right to the top. My only gripe with it is the overall ml of liquid that it holds.

aga's are a night mare for that you just have to pulse the coil for ages to work through the hot spots or it'll just keep breaking in the same place

Use a drill to support the coil when attaching top and bottom and feed the wick down the coil. This AGA TD is easier to setup than the other two.
