Which will be the best Genesis for a complete beginner who has never touched one, RichMan rba, Aga T2, or a RSST. I am stuck between all 3 sadly, and can only afford one of them.

Like mentioned above, the RSST is the best device to get your feet wet into Genny's. With the insulated wick hole and top spring center pin, you won't run into many hotspot issues. Aga-T and the Richman rba are pretty much the same with a few improvements on the Richman. The smaller wick hole and top nuts on the center pin can be finicky even with an experienced genesis user. Either way, eventually you'll end up with all 3, but I would start off with the RSST due to it's ease of use.
I'll try to keep it simple. I used to say the AGA-T2 or the RSST...get the AGA if you want glass or the RSST if you want something easy to setup and can handle plastic.
Well the Richman is easier to set up than the AGA and has a glass tank unlike the RSST. I would probably say that.
I am not big on smok's qc and the insulated wick hole is nice but not necessary....my real knock against the rsst is the airhole.

From someone who is an absolute beginner to RBAs and who has worked with both the AGA-T2 and RSST in the past week, I would go with the RSST. I has some success with the AGA-T2, but hot spots keep developing and driving me nuts. I received my RSST yesterday and built a nice 1.2 ohm coil right off the bat. One small top leg hot spot that I worked out quickly, and a nice cool vape since then.
Downsides to the RSST (that have already been mentioned): single coil only, plastic tank, air hole is tiny. The air hole is a very quick fix of course, just open it up a little. Some people have had leaks with the RSST, getting juice on the 510 connector. I haven't had any leakage so far.

RSST is easy to setup and hot spots are really easy to get rid of.
I am guessing the richman is so similar to the aga and i still have a hard time getting rid of top coil hotspots on aga. It looks like the richman has larger post nuts so should be less distance from top coil to post. That could make the richman lil easier to setup

Looks like the RSST wins! I will be ordering that this friday from an undisclosed vendor. Thanks for the help!
