I want the absolute best rebuildable atty/tank thingy!

[dgm76513]

OK I have an idea what that would be. Z-Atty pro, right? I have that one in my wish list. In the meantime, I'm looking for something as close to that as possible, but I have a hard time trusting text reviews on vendor's websites. Plus, there are quite a few rebuildables out there it seems, and it would take me more time than I have to go in-depth on all of them, as I like to do, to figure out which one is best based on my criteria.

This is where I call upon you, ECF, my personal army all-knowing veterans of vapor, to tell me, in as many words as you deem necessary-or feel like typing- which rebuildable YOU would invest in, and stand behind, based on the following features I am specifically looking for:

-Kenthal wire

-Stainless Steel mesh wick

-As little plastic as possible, preferably none. Glass and aluminum or stainless steel would be ideal.

-tank (although I like dripping, there are many times it is not practical)

-Can be used as seamlessly as possible on a Provari V2 that I will be getting next week

I thank you for your time, and for any wisdom you may impart upon me.

Regards,

ZAP is made for the Provari, so it'll look the best.

You can get a hippo from 405 Vaporz that will make others look more sleek on the Provari.

I think a Hippo + AGA-T2 combo would look nice.

Try a real DiD Genesis unit

That thread will give you a good idea what a lot of rba look like on Provari

I just got my AGA T2. I have not set it up yet but it is really well built. Might want to start on that one before you drop $150 on a RBA that you might not have an easy time with.

 

[dgm76513]

Thompson- I'll check that out, thank you. I did fail to mention that I am a form-follows-function kind-of-guy, so I will prefer function over form, although if they function similarly, then, obviously, form will come into consideration.

 

[dgm76513]

Now for your suggestion: The AGA-t2 is this?AGA-T2 - Kidney Puncher

It looks promising, I would prefer actual glass to pyrex as I take good care of my things. Does your pyrex tube have jagged edges or does it look flame-polished?

Also, you haven't actually used it yet, so I cannot consider it an experienced recommendation. I do appreciate bringing this to light for me though. I shall put it on my consideration list.

Thanks for posting that thread, I like visuals

I am a little leary with overseas purchases, unless of course, when I am overseas and can pick it up. Customs never hit the right chord with me when it comes to mail.

I had this same question about five weeks ago. I decided to go all in on my first RBA, got a ZAP and have used nothing else since. I LOVE it and have found it very easy to rebuild with a little bit of practice.

I will be getting a ZAP, but I have no idea when the next batch will be released, or if I'll even get to them in time before they sell out.

In the meantime, I am wanting another quality device that is available now, because DCT's, cartos, and clearos just don't cut much grass in my field.

they all almost work identical, it comes down to what you want to spend and how much you like the way something looks. i use MMV DID's and Siam Mods cobra's - waiting on a foggatti and a somnium
with genesis form meets function and except for small differences they work or dont. there is no ok or better then really, it is all preference small air hole, big airhole, one wick, two wicks etc ..
and the new aga has glass tanks available

the differences are you, how well you can set it up, the better you get the better they will perform.

Bing and Google turn up no relevant results for 405 vaporz, or the hippo. Could you provide a link?

So I've been reading on here that some people are calling the DID "buggy" and "finicky" which indicates to me that all things are not created equal. Everything has a margin of error. I am in search for a device with the smallest margin.

I can look past a few negative reviews, no problem, everyone is different and we aren't dealing with ISO 9001 companies here.

I get that it things either work or don't work, that part is painfully obvious with today's throw-away mentality.

Based off my OP, which one would you recommend that is readily available while I wait for my ZAP?

That looks like a pretty good idea, I think I'll order one of those. I just have to get past my reluctance of ordering things from overseas. At least it's not from China.

 

[dgm76513]

I see in the description that the AGA comes with "some resistance wire" would that be Kenthal or Nichrome?

Perhaps I should order some Kenthol with it just in case.

 

[MikeA5]

I think it's Nicrome and it was thin. I didn't use though. I just cut up a length of Kanthal A1 32 ga that was thicker than the stuff that came with it and that worked fine ~2.1 ohms with a 5/4 coil on the small diameter SS wick that slides into the wick hole with just a slight bit of friction.

 

[eHuman]

Get the AGA-T+ then go to Ibtanked and get a glass tank that suits your personality. Order mesh and wick, what comes with it is enough for 1 set up only.

 

[Arvidx]

Figured i'd chime in here... running the AGA T here, and have to say its a solid piece, and this version has subtle improvements, pure SS all the way through and if you pick one up here, this guy adds in 3 gagues of Kanthal wire and 2 samples of SS mesh to every one so that you can try a variety.

IB tanked is also a good idea for a nice tank.
