quick question...AGAT2 vs. ZAP

[bris1974]

Just a quick question. I have an aga t2 that I am really enjoying. I have a ZAP on the way. What can i expect the differences to be? I'm assuming they will be fairly similar, but can i expect a better performer out of the ZAP?

sorry if this is basic, i only have messed with one rba. Thanks

The zap is heavier, ten times easier to set up and well just overall a lot better designed/made. The draw is airier than a standard Aga but not in a bad way imo. Really though, not similar, you'll see.

Not knocking the Aga but it'll be obvious.

Porsches and Hyundais. They both get you from point A to point B - one just happens to do so in a much more exciting fashion. Its not always just about "its all about the coil YOU build for yourself" as some products just make it, well, easier to build a coil.

The ZAP won't let you down.

the ZAP lends itself better to lower resistance setups because the air hole is bigger

Depends on what you are looking for. I agree with all the advantages mentioned above of the ZAP, but for example, me, i build a perfect AGA setup in under 3 minutes and can drill out the air hole in 1. I also dont care to make my AGA any better in terms of material or design; stainless steel and pyrex glass is more than enough for me. So if i buy a ZAP, i would be paying an extra $100 to save myself less than 4 minutes. Eh.

And yes i have used both, and now swear by China made. Really just depends on what you value more (preference order, if you are familiar with the jargons)
