Hi im thinking of getting a aga t3 tank and was just wondering if i use wire mesh is that all you use as the wick or do you have to wrap it around some sort of silica wool ?

Is it normal for the juice taste not to come through straight away after building a new coil with wool as i cant taste the juice properly yet ?

Been vaping for about a hour and looked at the coil and it seems to be making the cotton wool go brown ?

Ok i went to the body shop and bought some organic wool and attempted my first coil at 6 wraps - it seems to look and smoke ok and is hitting 1.4ohm - does this seem to look ok ?  That's looking great - personally I would trim the wick slightly more tightly, but if it vapes OK, job's a good'un! |

I use 2mm dia .25 Kanthal microcoils and cotton wool wicks in my Protank heads and have never needed a flavour wick. Occasionally in the old days when building normal coils with .2 Kanthal and 2mm silica Ekowool, I had to pop on a strand to stop gurgling, but even this was only about 1 in every 15 heads I made. Can you tell me what dia means please im thinking diameter ? |

I am using an Aero tank and have had 2 good coils out of 4 but still waiting for my blow torch and wool so will have to wait and see and hopefully they will improve  |
