My vision just took a .... on me, and I'm looking to get something OTHER than a new vision base - because frankly it sucks. I'm looking at an AGA-T2 on Vapor Kings, but not 100% sure on what I really want to do here. Anyone have recommendations? Or should I just quit altogether?
Best RBA for the 510 style batteries?

Do you want it to be a tank or dripping atty? On what battery exactly?
Saying 510-style battery makes me think cigalike. Do you mean eGo-style or one of the larger mods or something?
If it's for a bigger mod:
tank:RSST
Dripper:iGO-L
If it's eGo-sized:
tank: not many of these to choose from... A7 w/A7oid from Captivape? Turns the A7 into a Spheroid-style device.
Dripper:A7 or iGO-S

If you mean Ego batteries and want something that fits nicely, I like the A7-oid, AGA-S and the Smok RDA with a tank collar. Just be careful to follow ohms law and stay at or under 2 amps when making coils or you might kill your batts. The RDA is 20 times easier to wick than the A7 and AGA.
A7-oid, AGA-S looks similar
RDA on right

A7 looks real clean on egos.
I believe the aga-s does too.
Not sure on the size of the igo-s but I'm assuming it'll fit well too.

It should probably be mentioned that it's a very good idea to use silica wick for anything going on to an eGo. One less thing to short out if you don't use SS.
True. I always make sure to meter my rba with the dmm & apv before ever going on an ego or other. No sense in risking frying them.

Chains, where did you get that ego tank collar under the RDA? Is it brushed stainless?
I got that at discountvapers. It was chrome plated, tried brushing but ended up taking it down to the brass, so I nickel plated it.
Sorry yes, I'm using Ego batteries. The AGA-S will work fine with my Ego Upgrades?
It should as long as you coil it at 2-2.5 ohms and use the included silica rather than a mesh wick. Otherwise, you could run into problems with amp draw and shorts.
Awesome! I will order an AGA-S as soon as I can, does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy it?
Edit: Looks like OKC has it. I currently have a ton of 1.5mm Silica Thread, should I order thicker or just braid three pieces together tightly?

The AGA-S is really designed for mesh but silica will work too. No chance that you'll get 3 strands of 1.5mm silica in the hole though. Maybe two if you're pushing it (it's got a 2.5mm wick hole).
I'd double or triple the wick where the coil is gonna be and have one leg of the wick going into the wick hole, the other into the juice feed hole.

What size mesh should I be looking to get? I know my EGO Upgrades have short protection in them, so screwing up once or twice isn't a huge concern. As far as the AGA-S is, how much different is the AGA-T2 from the S? Thinking about getting them both in order to have a backup atomizer for the inevitability of one blowing eventually.
#500 is the best bang for buck, #400 will do if you don't mind tilting a bit.
The AGA-T2 is humungous and heavy. It made my dual 18650 mod way too top-heavy for me in the past so I imagine it would feel like a pendulum on an eGo.
Get an iGO-L and a thread cover designed for 6ml tanks like the one on the left here
and you'll have a great back-up if the AGA-S goes awry. Dripping isn't that much work and it's an amazing atty.

Wow, I found that iGO-L for $14!
Found a web-site where I can get my AGA-S, an iGO-L and an A7. Would anyone NOT recommend any of these? If so why?

Keep in mind that with the EGO Upgrade batteries if a short is detected they won't fire again or even turn on until you put them on a charger. This is very inconvenient when out and about.
I'd get IGO-S for your EGO batteries if you like your devices to have matched diameters. The A7 is also a fantastic EGO sized device.
The AGA-T + Vamo is a great combination but keep in mind SS Mesh takes a bit of practice to get right. The AGA can be easily setup with silica which makes it a good intro RBA imo.
As far as batteries, don't get those 2600mah Samsungs. Get the 2250mah Panasonic Hybrids floating around on a lot of vendor sites. For the Vamo get Flat Top, Unprotected.
Have fun with the new toys!
Unsure what you mean by Flat Top, Unprotected, care to explain please?
~~~ Efest IMR 18650 2250mAh - Flat Top This?
Also, as far as getting into RBAs, I I've been using my Vision for a while, and have gotten a lot of practice making coils on silica. I'll be ordering 3 sheets of SS mesh so I can go through a sheet ....ing them up.
As far as the iGo goes, MyVaporStore doesn't have the S, so the L it is.
For the upgrades, my girlfriend will be using my EGO batteries and either the A7 or the iGO, whichever she decides she likes better. She has never smoked real cigarettes, but loves using my e-cigarette, which is why I decided to go ahead and upgrade to a real battery and a real RBA.
Also, if anyone has a better web-site to order off of that will have all of the items I'm looking to get, I'd love to get my stuff a bit cheaper.
Currently buying:
1x A7
1x AGA-T
2x iGO-L
2x 500x500/316L
2x (20 ft) 1.5mm Silica
1x 34g Kanthal Wire (10 ft)
1x Vamo V2
2x Efest IMR 18650 2250 mAH
1x Trustfire Charger.
Total coming to $169
