Good thread. I own AGA T2 / cobra clone and Oddy clone. Looking for something more so after read this, I might go for RSST or Phoenix or DID since it's available from where i live. Thank you all. Any warning are welcome

They have it in stock...the .5 by .1
.8 is on preorder but the ohms come out perfect with a 6/5 wrap of .5 x.1 @ 1.5 ohms
, it would be too low for me to use the.8 they have on pre order
I have three dream 804s, three smok reduxes, one drunker tank, and one did clone. I use 32ga. kanthal with cotton wicks on all of them.
They all perform well but my favorite is the 804s. These things vape on par with the kayfun and probably the new mister hybrid that uses a similar feed system. They're not real easy to refill though and I can see where that could be a deal breaker for some folks.

Update:
1. Model: REO 2.0
2: Price Point: $43 brand new (in stock too)
3: Supplies Used: 30 ga Kanthal A1 for coil and Rolled Cotton for wick.
4: What do you enjoy: superb chain vaping characteristics, flood proof, ceramic base, build quality, ease of recoiling / rewicking.
5: Problems you've had: none
6: Why: it costs 4 or 5 times less than a chalice but a chalice is only a hair better.
Heres my current setup:

Heres my current setup:
I have 2 AGA T2's, 1 AGA, 1 AGI 2 in 1, 2 Cobra's, 1 ZAP, 1 DID, and a couple cheaper clones ect.
My favorites are the AGA T2's Cobra and DID,
1. DID
2. $120
3. supplies used 500 mesh and 30G or .5 ribbon wire
4. I enjoy everything. Vapes great!
5. no problems
6. heard it was a great atty so I wanted to try it out and it is. I would like to get a short did next
1 AGA T2
2. $25
3. use 500 mesh and either 30G kanthal or .5 ribbon wire
4. air hole had to be enlarged a little but for $25 it's an awesome atty and i don;t mind a little drilling to save $100.
5. no issues once I enlarged the air hole.
6. why cause it was $25 and solid SS. Great well made atty and you can't beat the price. I have 3 of them and another on the way.

This week:
1: A7-oid
2: 27ish at captivape
3: Sera, silica, 1ohm 30 gauge kanthal
4: Decent flavor, good heat, hits hard, looks good
5: Easy to short out the connector, post holes can cut and snap kanthal if you're not careful, tight space
6: I like it because, somehow, my juice lasts 6 hours longer and my battery charge lasts a lot longer, maybe because I'm not using 28g in it.

6 Phoenix clones
2 IGO-L
3 Ody's (one a Dripper)
1 IGO-S
1 A7
1 A7 mini
1 Spheroid
1 AGA T2
2 DID clones
I prefer the drippers most but I run them lots of ways. Mostly silica or mesh wicks. The tanks are handy and consistent but dripping is hard to beat for me. That last hit or two before you need to drip again is about as good as it gets. Hard to duplicate it wicking from a tank.

Having a blast with my new RSST. Easy-peasy to rebuild compaired to my AGA-T2. I have fat fingers
CE6
DID
ViVi NoVa
my collection start with inexpensive units that perform well
Its definitely the tinkering, I tinker with everything
The Ce6 for the beauty and simplicity of it
The Did for the flavor and vapor
The Vivi for Vapor clouds
Now I move on to an ego-t system but Ill be back to tinker on custom hand-builds

1: RSST
2: $17
3: 28 gauge and ss wick
4: easy to set up and looks great on most mods
5: no glass tanks yet
6: great newbie rba and easy to set up. just wish there's a way to get some kind of glass tank tubes for it.

For me it is in order of cost; my ZAP really high quailty and fantastic build. Then I guess the chobra's. (i did some trading so I have 4 of them) Not great quality but can be made to work really nice. Then my RSST. Just got it and have only built one wick for it so unsure yet of long term results.
I have an AGA-T2 and an RSST.
I love the tank and double O ring top cap on the AGA.
I love the positive pin and insulated wick hole on the RSST.
I just wish I could take specs from both and manufacture my own to perfection

I have just recently gotten into RBAs, and I only have 2 Z Atty Pro (ZAPs). I got them to go on my 2 ProVari Minis. I LOVE how they make the ProVaris look like very cool VV hybrids. I skipped over the lesser expensive RBAs simply because I thought it was the best piece to top my prized ProVari Minis. The ZAP is exclusively for the ProVari, but the other Zenesis RBAs, such as the ZAU (Z atty U) being universal. can be used on most mods. So, I'm assuming they perform similarly to the ZAP. The ZAPs have been very easy to set up for me, and I'm a complete RBA newbie. I just watched the instructional you tube videos on RBAs (ProVape, PBusard, etc.), and I am now enjoying the cleanest, most consistently great vape I have experienced in over 2-1/2 years of vaping. At $149 ZAP are INVESTMENTS. But I believe you can get quite a similar experience from a $30 RBA though. Just my 2 cents.

I'll jump in on this post.
AGA T+
price $30
before I got this I think I literally watched about 8 hrs of coil building vids on youtube. So setting it up was pretty easy for me.
I used 400 ss mesh with 30 kanthal wire. I think it's a 3/2 wrap at .7 ohms. Loving the taste and the vapor production.
Elimanating hotspots was kinda hard for me.
I also have the octopus RDA
Great price at about $10 (will be getting a few more)
Real easy to setup with silica and kanthal.
using it at 1 ohms.

MMvapors DID
Can't remember cost, like 170 shipped with tons of spare parts I think.
I like it because it's got a huge wick hole, stainless tank, small air chamber, drip tip stop, and very tight post configuration. It also can handle crazy coils without fuss. The threaded cap is a plus as it never moves from its perfect position.
Also, it helped me create my first arc reactor coil.

2 cobra's
2 zap
1 zau
1 rsst
2 aga t2
1 phoenix
1 era dripper
evod with ss mesh
mt3 with ss mesh
Honestly it is more dependant on your mesh and coil building skill. My fav so far is the cobra, then probably zap's. Aga t2 peforms well too.

I love my RSST .Looks good and very easy to wrap coil.Once I drilled out air hole to 1/16 it vapes very smooth and looks great on my Drawtube and KTS with flat cap.
