Hi,

I've acquired a large quantity of Nextel 116 ceramic, and am curious what the optimal RBA for this would be. I've got a few AGA-T2s, an RSST, and some DUDs laying around currently. Out of all of the above, the AGAs seem the best built as the RSST leaks a bit over time (but the insulation is nice when dealing with SS mesh - though that becomes a non-issue). I also like the pyrex/borosilicate/whatever glass tanks on the AGA-T2.

I'm curious if there's a better atomizer suited for this type of wick. I'm not 100% against a dripping setup, but would need a convincing argument why it would be better than a tank system. I like being able to fill up before work and not worry about carrying around bottles of fluid with me. One thing that has annoyed me with SS mesh setups is leaking when the mod is sit down anything but vertical. I don't pocket-carry due to this, but would certainly like to be able to. I suppose drippers are better in this regard, but if there's a tank setup that would work well with the ceramic wick and not leak, and give great performance, that would be great.

I'm open to all price levels of RBAs; I lean towards the performance aspect, but when the price/performance split becomes exponential in price, that's where I generally settle. I really appreciate any suggestions you might provide! I will be using these RBAs/RDAs/whatever on a SuperT ELA (mechanical mod). I'm used to AGA-T2s with 28 gauge Kanthal A1, 635 SS mesh, and ~0.7 ohms (2/3 or 3/4 wrap depending on the day).
