RSST, A8 or AGI?? which way to go

[dezyner]

looking to get my feet wet with a re-builables. can only get one. Which one. RSST, A8 or the AGI. all about the same price, I like the A8 tank that threads, looks tight, I like the RSST reputation for ease of build, and I like the drip combo and pyrex of the AGI. Also worth noting, I don't want one that leaks (alot) and it may be a while before I do the SS mesh wicks, or porous ceramics, so we are talking Silica or hemp wicks, for now. You guys are the experts with the insight and experience I need to decide, can you please help me decide. I wasn't let down with the ProV advice, and yes, I want a ZAP 2.1, but later. when I can liberate the funds. Thank you as always, in advance. cheers.

Don't fear the stainless! Heck I personally think its easier than silica. I have an aga t2 and use nothing else anymore. Although I am going to grab an igo-l and an rsst.

Just got myself an Aga t2 first ss mesh wick rolled tonight AND I'M NOT GOING BACK!! I love this thing!

I keep running across "not so happy" with the AGI. I, personally, am not buying one of those. Nobody is going to break down a perfectly good setup to convert. Get an AGA-T2 or RSST (if the threading issue is over with on that one), and an IGO.

I'd say none of those, and get an Aga t2. A friend of mine has a lot of headaches with the Agi. And my rsst is always leaking down the center post.

I have them all I also have Terminator tanks and drippers, i would say get an rsst or Terminator those are the best in my book

I guess I should be really glad I got an RSST with good threads that doesn't leak down the center post.

The RSST is better than either of the other options, but it seems there are issues with it recently.

I started vaping around 3 weeks ago, bought a RSST to go with my VV mod. Dont fear the SS mesh, i got the whole thing working on my first try but had to rebuild the coil because i went overboard and had a 2.8ohm coil and i wanted lower res.
Mine doesn't leak at all and im getting great vapor, sadly the flavors i picked for my first time are kind of dull, still playing with different voltages and i'm waiting more juice from other vendors.

I'd recommend watching pbusardo's video on how to oxidize your mesh and get it ready, the good thing about the RSST it's that you don't need to worry about the wick shorting with the end of your tank.

Hope this helps on your decision

I love my RSST it's a great unit for the price.

I just got the AGI and i'm really happy with it..
solid, glass tank and looks great

although here are some minusses i found

- the screw on the extra dripper post on mine was impossible to move..i was afraid to damage the screw or break of the post..
i'm pretty sure this is a case of bad luck on my part..but if you think of buying this you might want to contact the seller to check if these
are working properly..

- the center post in the tank is a spring..what this means is there is actually a little coil inside the tank...
i measured it and this makes the whole atty have a resistance of 0.5 ohms, which will be added to the resistance of your own coil..

when you use a vv mod this isn't a real problem, but on a mechanical mod this will make the whole gen weak, when you build a sub-ohm coil on this thing it make things even worse as the spring could start to heat up and break..it does come with a spare spring though..i wonder why

i'm thinking of putting a steel rod in the center spring somehow...or add another spring for lower resistance

aside from this i think its great...looks and performs very well sofar and I'm not getting anything with a plastic tank anymore..As a dripper I'm sure its good..if you can get the screws loose

no real advantage of the dual setup in my oppinion, I orderder an Igo S with it, which makes for a nice little stealth taster/dripper on an ego-twist.

I also like the RSST. Mostly because of the larger wick hole (i think it is 3.4mm). Means that I can put in a giant SS wick or also have the option to use porous ceramic 1/8 inch wick (these are more readily available than the smaller sizes).

A few above have also recommended the AGA T2. This is also a good device for the money. But I would still go for the RSST. IMHO it is a easier RBA to set up.
