I added washers to the centre post on my AGA-T's (four of them) basically doing what is also necessary with the bliSS (two of them as well) Welcome to "The Dark Side" mse12. Spot on advice Uma! Another thing that I recommend is to oxidise the ends of your wicks after you've snipped them to prevent bottom of the tank shorting. People always remember to leave a 1mm distance from the bottom of the tank, but after tapping the rig on a table or whatnot a few times, the wick can creep downwards.
Thank you for the support Uma! I'm happy with this coil so far. I've vaped like 3-4 tanks through it so far. Granted the tank is only holding about 1ml each fill. I don't know where the vendor came up with 2ml capacity...that's a joke. I filled the tank up with the platform off and 1ml was up to the threads. Anyway...vaping pretty well. It shipped with a tiny plastic little plug for the second hole. If that plug is in it pretty much does not wick at all. Immediate dry hits when I try to put it in and vape. There is a little leaking from that hole going on inside the top cap but it gets vaped if you take a pull on it holding it straight up so no problem there! If I can figure out how to find some new/better o-rings this rig will be pretty solid!
You're welcome! It sounds like the "S" is a nice workable one afterall, like the first reports promised it to be. I have the "T" but not yet the "S" and soon the "T+" will be out and I have a feeling it's the same thing as the "S". (Vendors like to confuse the issue).
O-rings ... maybe discountvapors will be carrying them? Radio Shack, Hobby stores, etc.. might have the right size. There's a few o-ring shops on the net, where we can buy colorful ones as well, but I don't have a link, you'll have to google. Good luck!!
Looking at your photos, the wick hole is indeed closer to the center post!! Yay!! That was a major problem with the chids, chobra, and previous clones. The AGA-T is too far away too, but manageable.
Oh! The tank ml size. When it says 2ml, it's really 1.5ml because of needed airflow room. But, yours sounds even smaller than promised. Go figure eh. You might want to keep an eye out or contact IBTanked for a tank that will fit the S.
Now that it's working good, you'll be removing coils, to keep the OHMS where you want em. Isn't life grand! We are no longer stuck with the same coil, nor searching for a 6v mod in order to run those dying storebought coils. We just remove a coil! Easy Peasy.
How do the insulators feel on the "S"? Are they like the carto condom type of silicone or are they super squishy, cut like biscuit dough? I hope they've improved drastically, like promised. (if squishy dough, you can cut to fit a carto condom).
The refill hole has a plastic stopper? I didn't know that at all. You can break off a toothpick or something to fit the hole after the juice is vaped down some or for when you need to turn it off and pocket it for awhile. (sounds safer anyway).
As long as there is a small strawhole in the wick itself, (rolled the wick with a needle or toothpick or straightened out paperclip inside), then it should wick good with the Fill hole plugged as long as there is airflow room in the tank. Should and do are two different things, of course. It sounds like you're experimenting with cause and effects, and are already mastering a lot of the quirks! Pretty soon, I will be coming to you for solutions.
