Has anyone tried the UD AGA TD yet?? I am in love with the look of this RBA, but I don't want to get it before reading some user reviews about it ... I did a search which didn't return any review type threads ...

I have the AGA T3, but have not tried the AGA T or AGA T2.. Taste and vapor production are great compared to my RSST. I used cotton wick and 3/4 wrap with 28 gauge kanthal. It was a pain in the ... to build but once I did it is pretty awesome. A little pricey at just under $50 from COV

First I'd decide if I wanted a cloud chaser, single coil, warm vape, air flow control, brass, allen key, 16mm, etc.

Flavor chaser, cloud chaser, adjustable air control, single or dual coil.. My favorite set up right now is my IGO L with a ninja vapes fauxgotti cap- 28g micro coil with cotton wick.. AWESOME!! 20131106_003813_resized.jpg

ALL of my RBAs are under $50 LOL

gennys:
CHobra
Chud
iAtty
AGA-T2+
AGT

drippers:
trident clone
igo-l
dream bt801
octopus
phoenix

other:
smok terminator TT
aios td replica (just got it a few hours ago, havent set it up yet)
also got a FT KF clone is on its way and i expect it to be awesome.

when properly set up, all of my RBAs hit fantastically. i prefer dual coil on a dripper so the trident gets my vote there.
for gennys, its tough to say as they all hit well but for ease of setup, my vote goes to the iAtty. although, that smok TT thing has AMAZING flavor.

I'm interested in checking out the fogger… seeing the amount of votes it has gotten.

What I have had experience with is:
- igo-l
- igo-w
- nimbus clone
- rsst
- i-atty (i believe it's a z-atty clone…memory?)
- steamboy clone

I'm pretty sure all of them are under $25.

From best to least favorite… nimbus clone, igo-w, igo-l, rsst, i-atty, steamboy. Steamboy is last but that's only because I haven't used it yet. I'll eventually get around to using it, but drippers are my go to right now. Typically, I'm rocking a dual coil (.6-.7) with cotton wicks and lately only on the nimbus clone.

So my vote, from my experience, the nimbus clone. I paid $15. If you go for it, look for the clone version with four holes… I drilled them all to 1/16, hits perfect.

Edit: Waiting for a trident clone to arrive, but I'm really wanting a helios with the 'four' posts. If I can find a clone with four posts, I'll probably grab one of those real soon.

I'm waiting on a trident also; starting to worry about that HK post.

Can you explain the pros and cons of the four air holes vs two?

On the nimbus clone I have, there are two air holes on one side and two air holes on the other side. This is beneficial if you run a dual/quad coil set up because it will allow you to get good airflow across both sets of coils.

Prepare to be frustrated with the Fogger. It takes a lot of tinkering just to get an average vape, especially if you're good at building dripping atties. I fiddled with it for a few weeks and the best results I got were from a vertical dragon coil (18g) and even that doesn't satisfy like a dripper. And if yours comes with a blocked airway it's tough to get it apart to fix the problem. If you're looking for a tank then stick with a Ithaca or kayfun style or one of their clones.

On my safe design Pinoy style RTA I'm running dual vertical coils and dual 1/8" air holes; very nice steamer.

Kinda curious if 4 vs 2 air holes makes noticeable difference on dual horizontal coil RDA.
