Just found the perfect wicking method for myself. I found this video. Hope you don't mind me sharing it. This worked for perfectly on my AGA-T.
I instead rolled the mesh around the silica wick instead, and straight away no hotspots, and for me the perfect vape. Have anyone else tried this method, and if so what were your impressions of a hybrid mesh, and have you tried any alternative methods ?

I've done this with a VH genny and then an Aga-T and tbh it wasn't as good as a solid mesh wick for me. It shouldn't have any effect on hotspots though and rolling your mesh around the silica could cause problem when burning your mesh to oxidise, but if it's working for you that's all that matter.

I normally give my mesh a good burn before I start rolling it, after I've rolled it with the Silica wick inside, I then give it some more burns and then apply plenty of juice and then let this burn itself off, Also with the silica wick I find the finished wick a lot firmer and easier to wrap the coil around, I also have placed a washer on the centre post reducing the distance of the wick to the post, this of course may not work for all, but for me I find it ideal.
