Is their a difference in these?

Aga-t2, cobra(clone), and rsst?

i know the rsst has "spring loaded posts", but this will be my first rba so that doesn't really mean anything to me...to me they all look like "genesis" style rba's, but I cold be wrong....help please!

thanks in advance!

Yep - all Genesis style RBAs. I'll be picking up an AGA-T2+ this week, but would probably go with the RSST if it was available over here.

Yeah I don't really want that one because supposedly its easier to build, and I don't want the easy way out if I'm gonna jump feet first into this rba thing....I'm a huge carto guy, and I like the flavor of dripping, so these look like they are right in between! I mean do the cobra and aga perform the same and the only difference is the build(look) of it? Anyone have experience with both?

Yes, essentially all the same. Personally, I learned using an AGA-T and the AGA's are still my favorites. The T+ and T2 offer glass tanks which I also like over the RSST.

For a RBA beginner the Smok-RSST is a better/advisable option that the Aga-T2. The Cobra Clone is a far inferior product. Yes, I've all the three (Aga-T2.2, RSST and the Fasttech Cobra. Plus an IGO-L).

Umm . . . Beat me to it.

Yeah I was guessing the cobra clone would be last on the list...and I'm leaning more toward the aga....I just know whatever it is it has to have glass/Pyrex as a tank, isn't the only difference the tank on the t+ and t2, or r they the same just different name?

T ... = the original, with a screwed Top-Cap (literally!)
T+ . = The "T" came with an additional Pyrex glass tank (user replaceable).
T2 .. = Came 'fitted' with a glass tank sitting on an "O" ring.
T2.2 = Glass tank sitting on a grommet (best fit against any leaking).

That's noble of you...why in the world would anyone want to make something easier to do. In fact, I think RBAs should be harder to build so we can make fun of all the newbs struggling to enjoy a decent vape.

I recommend the RSST for someone new to RBAs. The AGA-T can be an exercise in frustration to the uninitiated. Once one sees how it's supposed to work then they can move on to the unnecessarily complicated varieties.

As far as I'm concerned the only advantage the AGA-T has over the RSST is the Pyrex tank.

Damn what's with all the smart-... comments just because if I am gonna have to learn to do something, I want to learn how to do it on a device that is similar to 98% of the rest of the devices(rba's) that are like it??? Dang, sometimes I get so frustrated with some of the people on here, like they have to go out of their way to be an ...

You know what? You're absolutely right...I shouldn't have jumped on your head. I apologize. I was feeling punchy and...well...I'm sorry.

I still think you should go with the RSST first though.
