MikeA5, eHuman, and Arvidx: Thank you for the info! This validates what Thrasher said earlier, and I'll paraphrase; "It's how you set it up that works for you"
Shows me things aren't perfect out of the box, but they can be made into something workable. Now, if only the manufacturer would build it this way, even if they charged more for this version, I would prefer that to buying something new and modifying it before its first use. It also cuts down on the number of different places I would have to buy things. Except in Arvidx's suggestion, that to me, seems like a one-stop shop for what I need to get it working in the fashion that is most desirable, or at least as close to that paradigm as possible.
Thank you all for your replies. I'm picky, I'll admit, but I value your opinions much more greatly over anywhere else.
And thanks to the mod for moving this thread to the correct subforum. I don't dig too deep into the subforums and wasn't aware of "Rebuildable Atomizer Systems".
I guess you can say this move was : puts on glasses : Unforeseen.

There it is. Now why didn't this show up on a search engine? I smell a conspiracy.
Yes thats it and I have mine now and wrapped the coil and mesh wick in about a hour. It works great! Looks really good. The tank does have rough edges on it but they are covered up when assembled. All in all well worth the $30 I paid for it and it is a really good one to start with. I like this so much that I am indeed looking for a DID or ZAU for a future Atty. I dont have a Provari. I did order a MID ONE.
People are telling me that it is Nichrome. Im using that as well as the mesh they sent, working well until I get my 32 A1 Kanthal and my 500 mesh.
All Genesis style tanks are the same...
Any inability to make them function is user error.
making a GOOD coil and wick, with the air hole in the proper location is key!
Materials and looks are up to you.
you want something strong that will last long ... get SS
If you vape juices that tend to crack the plastic tubes... get glass
All these tanks work off the same principles, and are mechanically the same.
Anyone that argues differently is just trying to justify their lack of ability to use what they purchased.
The Foggatti has a unique air chamber, i've never used it. But it is worth mentioning, as that would most likely affect your experience.

I'm vaping away on one of the new AGA-T2's (An AGA-T+ with a glass tank) and I've been pretty impressed with it.
It doesn't look quite as nice on a Provari as something like a ZAP, but then, very few RBAs do. It performs really well, though, and I'm happy with it. I didn't use the included wire or mesh... I had my own 500 SS and 32 gauge kanthal already, and used those. One of the nice things about RBAs is that you don't have to settle for what they put in the box.
The Odysseus clones are nice, and would be really easy to set up if it wasn't for the need for two types of wire, and getting those twisted together can be a challenge sometimes. The Cobras from Phiniac are nice, though a bit pricy and hard to get sometimes, and I only started to love mine after boring out the airhole a bit for an easier draw.
I'm also a big fan of my Reactor LG Pro from Vaperfexion, which looks pretty sweet on a Provari. I'd love to have a glass tank rather than a plastic one, though.

To sum up what you are saying, "You would like an RBA that works out of the box."
Have you read any of the generic warnings on the "add to basket" pages about these and any RBA?
I have a DID, AGA-T, AGA-T+. I like them all. But, since I've gotten my Cobra I'm a changed man. Titanium construction, dual wick option, great glass (especially if you get the Siam version). I got mine from Alba Vapours. The Cobra is an awesome RBA. Until I get a ZAP or Foggatti.
Just to clear one thing up, the T2 does come with a "glass" tank. Pyrex is just a brand name for borosilicate glass. You'll see vendors calling it borosilicate glass, glass, fused quartz, and pyrex. It all means the same thing. IBtanked tanks are also borosilicate glass. If they were "regular" glass, like what's in your windows in your house, they'd probably shatter due to the heat of the top cap. It's all the same stuff.
Sorry for the delayed response, eHuman. What I meant was that devices in general are commonly modded to a user's taste. One would hope that with adequate testing these common mods would already be done with the final product, thus working "out of the box" means minimal, if any, tweaks need be done by the end-user to produce a desired result. Perhaps if product developers would make calculated changes instead of radical ones, the end result would be a bit more consistent and reliable.
I just set up my new AGA T+ with the pyrex tank. I got a 1.3 ohm reading on the coil from the Provari. Put in the juice and am now vaping at 3.4 volts. Very impressed with the vapor production, probably the most I've experienced with any delivery device. The flavors not all there yet, but I understand there might be a breaking in period?
I plan to eventually put this on my Silver Bullet, but I want to keep an eye out for shorts in the early stages of using this, being that this is my first experience with a rebuildable.

I can confirm. The flavors started to really shine after a day or so. Translated into tankfulls, I would say two to three.
That's not to say it was anything short of amazing from the first draw, however.
I just noticed this and figured I'd chip in. Why would you prefer glass over pyrex? Glass is silica and Pryrex is borosilicate glass. It's way tougher than regular glass.
