Order #482 here. I was astounded at your fast response to my question (posted in the order comments box) on a Saturday night, and a tracking number emailed to me before I awoke Sunday morning. I have never received a live human response so quickly from any vendor of any item.

I think your RBA will look stunning on top of the mod I made myself using 3/4" ID copper pipe. The OD should match perfectly, and I won't mind the difference in metal as there are not and never will be copper RBA/RDA's for a variety of reasons. I will post pics of the setup when I receive my order.

I know that you are working on models with different metals and finishes, as well as a hybrid which also sounds like a fantastic idea. I would like to suggest offering a matte finish drip tip if at all possible. I swore to myself that I wouldn't buy a mechanical mod since I can make my own, but if the price is comparable to the Richman RBA I will gladly break that oath. Excellent work sir, bravo. Good luck with your future endeavors.

I got mine this evening. Fast service and quick delivery. I used to live in Hawaii and shipping used to be a pain for me getting stuff from the mainland. This was delivered in 2 days, which shocked the hell out of me. I set up a sub-ohm coil 0.7 ohms, it was just like the Aga-T, minus the tiny screws. Got allot of hotspots and worked out as much of it as I can. I think I'll have to bring the ohms up to 1.0-1.2 and bore out the air hole to 1/16th. Overall, it's what you would expect from an Aga-T. I think the RSST is still easier to work with if your new to Genesis Atty's, but this like the Aga-T, is pretty much up there with the low priced Genny's. As for looks, this thing is very nice looking. The finish on it is just as good as the one on my Atmizoo Roller ice matte. Whether it holds up in time, we'll have to see. As of right now, I'm very impressed by the looks. Mine didn't have any scratches and the logo wasn't smudged. I don't like how the logo is placed on the side, would have looked nice if it was in the front, under the air hole. Also it would have been nice if it the logo was imprinted in black instead of white. The Center post doesn't get pushed in like my Aga-t, the insulator seems better.

I'm happy I finally got something that matches my Roller-IM. So until they come out with a device that also matches the ice matte, other than the expensive Kayfun; I'll be sporting this nice device til then.

I never had an issue screwing an AGA onto my EA when i had the EA. The issue I had was the AGA-t2 is just so damn ugly. I've actually never had an issue with AGA threads. RSST's are the ones that I have found to have the most thread issues. YMMV.

I have an AGA-S, and it wouldn't screw onto my EA (the normal cap or the airflow control). It's just gotten me paranoid that some stuff might not fit.

... It probably would have looked terrible anyway. haha

So I got mine today and set it up, I guess I will give my impression.

The finish is nice and I didn't actually notice any imperfections until I saw people writing about them, there are a few spots where the color is uneven but the finish type/color hides them well. If I hold the mod in my hand and vape it, there are no what the hell issues aesthetically. Not really a concern for me, I am not going to hold it uner a light and stare at it. The finish on the deck is nice, the cap fits nice and that all seems proper. All in all, nice for the price and it the finish has a nice feel.

Take down and set up is just like an AGA, the insulators and rings seem a bit nicer, better fit. The tank seems like an AGA tank which is fine, it's cheap to replace and this design actually protects it quite a bit. Again, nice for the price and does what it needs to.

Set up...back story...before I ever had an AGA, I had a few cobras, a few Zens, an AC9, a Bliss and a 16mm DID...so when I looked under the cap of an AGA for the first time...I kind of muttered what the hell and put the cap back on. Then I did actually set it up and found it to be a ginormous pita compared to my previous/other high end genny's, eventually I just hated it for that and stopped using it. Now back to the present...this is similar but better. It didn't take me long to get it how I want it, and some of that was looking for the right sized screwdriver, plus no f'ing tiny, stupid nuts on the positive. Grown people hands can use this. It was a standard affair which is a big improvement over the AGA. So again, nice for the price, easy enough to work with.

The vape, only as good as you build it but you knew that. Some people may want a different size air and wick hole but you'll already know that by reading the specs. Bust out your drill if that is the case.

Here's the cliffs/random notes/summary...seems like an upgraded AGA-T2, I mean that in a good way, it's not a zen/cobra/ac9, that's ok too, it's great for the price, it's worth the extra 5-10 dollars over an AGA, I'd probably buy another in a different finish/metal/design, well done Rich.
