Well, I am not going to prolong this, I was merely offering my comparison on the two atties… I think I have said all there is to say, and enough to let people make their own judgment calls.
But, I will say just one more thing…. If an AGA-T is supposed to be as good as a DID why (and this is a few points I have found so far) do people who have purchased AGA-T’s have to:-
Grind down the misaligned top cap, to make the air hole line up.
Replace the centre post configuration with acceptable materials and bodge a fix
Drill out the air hole to improve vapour and flavour production to the same as a DID
Replace the tank material due to substandard materials causing cracking
Drill out a larger wick hole
Etc, Etc, Etc …
Not to mention the issues of quality of workmanship, materials, etc, that even a Blind person wearing 3 pairs of gloves and sun glasses could notice.
All to TRY and make it work like a DID works, when a DID works straight away out of the box.
But as I have said before…. Each to their own, at least people are a little more informed to be able to make their choice.

Well Macca, Don't get me wrong, there is a place for both....
The way I see it, It’s all down to preference, and for some cost will dictate... However, I feel that as I have both the AGA-T (had three sold two, kept one for testing juices in cheaper clones) and I have 5 full size DIDs (sold 0).... I can make an informed comparison by evaluation.
What is the difference between the two….. For me it is easy to see, feel and taste the difference, All the following are reasons why, for me, a DID is superior.
Quality of components
Quality of materials used
Quality of workmanship
Better Design and functionality
Less problematic
Closer Critical tolerances across the product
This results in much better and consistent production of flavour and vape (and not just marginally so), even when using the exact same wick and coil setups.
The enhanced quality of Vape I get from a DID does it for me, every time. Tie my hands and blindfold me, and I will pick out the Vape from a DID 100% of the time.
Scoring as a result of the above would be… 6/10 for the AGA-T, and 10/10 for the DID.
Having said all that, there is still a place for the AGA-T, it is cheap and cheerful, but not as bad as some clones out there, it will introduce many to Genesis style atties, and give them a grounding in wick and coils, it won’t hurt so much when you drop or lose it…. And when set up correctly, it does produce a "passable" vape.
But, it will never preform like a DID.
The reasons are also technical and come from well thought out design, and good manufacturing, for example the shape of the collecting chamber directing a smoth airflow, the length and space of the centre post from tip to top cap. The distance from wick to centre post, the vortex airflow design, and I am sure many other things.
So, for this comparison, and in this instance, In my opinion, I would say, you definitely get what you pay for.
For clarity, let me say again.... I am not knocking the AGA-T.... It is good for what it is and the price asked.... But, would I buy another AGA-T…. No I don’t think so, Would I buy another DID…. Every time.

I have a 4oz bottle of Capella Vanilla Custard concentrate that I purchased to try..... And I know this is like blasphemy…… but……. I HATE IT, and will not use it in any of my mixes! It is just sitting there…. Taunting me….. So I may well split it up into smaller bottles, and flog it on, to any wanting Vanilla Custard Heads. Or maybe just flush it!  |

Indeed it does, but it is good as a base for adding other flavours to, and with some additional flavour playing, you can make the marzipan flavour all but disappear into the background..... |

BTW, your Coconut, Caramel, Hazelnut and Honey flavour is truly divine! Do you do 30 / 50 / 100ml bottles? I could vape that all day long every day.  30ml and 50ml on the website, if you want a 100ml bottle no problem, drop me a PM and I will do a deal for you. |

It all will depend on your vape set up and what it can do..... It should be fine without any thinning required at 50/50 (or there abouts) in most things. Try it and see.... The PG will act as a thinning agent.
I often make 80%VG thick juices but they are best suited to "Higher End" type attys that can wick it

No matter how much you were to spend I think it'd be hard to get anything better (performance wise) than an AGA-T No, Not Hard to better an AGA-T..... more expensive..... but then quality often is... |

Yep, my point exactly Blakey, when a DID is set up correctly, it is the Harley of the Vape world. No Contest!
