although the rsst is possibly an easier device to set-up, i believe the agi is built better. if you are talking about the agi that is a dripper and genny, then imo the agi is a much better built atty. with that being said, there is no doubt that the rsst is a much easier build. one draw back to the agi is the springed connection within the device, it contributes to a major voltage loss but is easily fixed. the agi has a glass tank in which the rsst is plastic, so if you vape juices that can damage plastic, be aware. all in all both are pretty good choices. good luck

The RSST's tank is Polypropylene I believe... so it should be good with those.

its still a type of plastic, and although i don't vape any pluid or citrusy juices one might want to look into some threads about it. im not a 100% sure about it, just something to check first before buying the rsst if you vape juices like that.

I did see a post elsewhere that someone did have a cinnamon flavor crack his RSST with the polypropylene tank. He called it his tank cracker. I haven't had any problems using my usual menthol flavor.

i think for the most part menthol is pretty good, it is the cinnamon and anise flavors, and maybe some stronger citrusy ones.

Nuhrayoh, Trust me on this one.. If this is your FIRST RBA you do NOT want to go with that AGI.. The RSST is much better, That AGI can be a PITA for someone who is new, Hell i even had hard times with it.. The RSST is a awesome RBA, Its built great and very easy to setup.. The only drawback is if you use pluid type juices, it will eat the tank.. if you dont though, they no worries.

Go with the RSST, Take my word on this one. Coming from someone who is still in the learning process also, The RSST is much better when it comes being easy to build. The 2-1 RDA/RBA thing is garabge if you ask me.. If you want to drip, then get a RBA.. If you want a tank, get a RDA.. The 2 in 1 thing CAN be headaches for someone new.

The AGI is a pain because of all the different holes on the deck, The tiny, cheap allen screws needed, The tiny posts, The "sometimes" chipped glass edges on the glass tanks that come with it making it leak all the time.. If ANYTHING you should compare the AGA-T and the RSST.. Tht AGI is headaches bro! Stay clear of it if your new to building!

The RSST has so many benefits for begininer builders ( even for pro builders ) its a win, Honestly..

I have a Smok Octopus RDA... some sites just call it a RDA.. looks like a ribbed barrel and has a huge, 8 strand wick. The posts are thumb screws and was really easy to work with, holds a lot of juice.

I have a couple of those and my main complaint is the fact that just looking at the barrel wrong will make it fall off. It just doesn't hold and the airflow is a bit restricted. I plugged the bottom air hole with a toothpick and drilled a 1/16 air hole in the side of it, in the top rib. It really came alive after doing that! I dental flossed the o-rings for a tighter fit too, but it still doesn't hold tight at all. Otherwise it's a decent, cheap RDA.

The IGO-L is far superior and looks much better provided you're lucky enough to get one where the air hole is positioned correctly. The IGO-W is pretty good too and allows for dual coils if you so chose. It's also drilled in the posts to capture the wire, which is a nice addition compared to the IGO-L's screw capture.

Just throwing out some thoughts and ramblings. YMMV
