Got it about 1.30 and my mesh... Can now oxidise it too but can't roll it to save my life and after an hour of shorts I've given up for the day... Try it monday I`m just about to have a go at mine ??? hehe What I use is one off those massive paperclips straightened out and roll it around that, not sure if it leaves too big a hole in it though

I've found with the s the drill bit method has been my friend. Do the coil with a drill bit inside, then wrap the mesh to fit. Just realised I'm telling grandma how to suck eggs... But for anyone else's benefit I will still post

I agree Sadie,for £9.99 it's an absolute diamond of a mod.Just need to get a few 18490s then it will be even better with the kick on board.

It does but if you add the Evolve Kick and an AW 18490(18500)size battery you turn the device into a variable wattage device.Ash has confirmed that it works.

I've been playing with mine all evening...
Just when I thought I got it sorted I got some sort of hotspot (didn't look like it when testing)....do I need more coils? I only had 2...and I have 0.2 kanthal/nichrome. Do I need to use 0.15?
Sorry no pics. Initially the air hole was in the wrong place but then I put the spare o-ring on. Sorted now...
And does the filler hole need to be left open or closed? I don't know what mesh I've got...just the cheapest from the mesh place LOL

Got an Aga-S on the way I'll have to try some of my new 0.3 x 0.1 ribbon kanthal on it.

You could try moving the mesh a little to get rid of the hotspot, sometimes works, I dont know a lot about them, but there are plenty around who do. Not sure about the wire size Was just watching the Todd video on this atty and he used .2 kanthal

Simate, ive emailed the vendor to see if his getting any more in, will let you know when he answers.
i asked him about batteries and he replied: "Any 18350 or 18650 I have tried has fitted, I use unprotected imr but I believe protected should be the same length so should fit fine, I have used button top aw and various flat batteries without an issue"

And does the filler hole need to be left open or closed? I don't know what mesh I've got...just the cheapest from the mesh place LOL Jane 2 wraps is not enough, the resistance would by waaaaay too low with just 2 wraps, maybe around 1 ohm or lower! Go for at least 4, maybe 5. 4 wraps would give you about 1.6 ohms and 5 wraps around 2ohms. .20 kanthal is spot on. Up to you regarding the filler hole. See what works best for you, baring in mind it will leak if you tip it/lay it on it's side without the hole being plugged. Which grade mesh did you get? The finer mesh such as #400 and #500 are best for superb wicking. I am guessing you may have #200 or #325, see how you get on with it, depending on the thickness of your juice you may have wicking issues, ie. the wick not being able to suck enough juice quick enough. Here is my Aga-T2+ with a standard wick and .20 twisted kanthal and #500 mesh and here is is with a u wick and .25 kanthal, it's sitting high in the photo as I hadn't pushed it all the way down until after I took th photo. and here it is using 0.6 x 0.1 ribbon kanthal

Fantastic pics How did you rate the ribbon kanthal as opposed to the wire?
