Trying to decide on which RBA to get...

[Caveclown]

Hello and good day to all,

I have been looking into getting a rba, but am having abit of a tough time to decide which one to get, the choices are many and no matter how much reading or watching of videos I just cant seem to make up my mind, and due to money being abit tight after buying a new truck I cant nor do I want to buy a huge pile of them.

I have it narrowed down to these:

AGA-T + rebuildable atomizer or the,
AGA-S genesis rebuildable atomizer or,
G1 or G2 genesis or,
IGO-L rebuildable atomizer or finally the,
Vision Eternity rebuildable atomizer.

I have the vivi nova and its alright, however I am wanting to try something else and thought perhaps I would ask the opinions of you forum users on the above, the pros/cons of the ones you know about, and even your thoughts on what may a good choice for a inexpensive rba.

Thanks in advance!

What device are you using right now?

 

[Eddie.Willers]

I just pulled the trigger on an AGA-T2...mainly because of Phil Busardo's videos on them.

I have the AGA-T+ and so far its working really well and especially for the price you cant go wrong. However, lately i've been moving to the rebuildable drip atomizers which I find a lot better.

I've got an AGA-T+ and it's been great, once I got it up and running properly. The draw on mine is pretty stiff, so I will probably drill out the air hole. I've found that I can only get it to wick properly leaving the fill hole screw out completely which makes me reluctant to take out of the house with me, so I still go back to my carto tank for out and about and for work. I think my next investment will be the IGO-L as I am thinking that might suit me for out and about.

I am waiting for my IGO-L.. i started with tanks.. and i discovered that using drip atomizers gives better flavor... And less/no dry hits...

This is my personal opinion...

 

[crxess]

Patiently waiting on arrival of my RSST
I believe it is going to kick my AGA-T's ....

 

[Windz1]

Personal preference (if I was using Rebuilds): IGO-L and AGA-T2 (Also based on PBusardo's reviews!)

I'm currently using Vision ViVi Nova STV's for not needing to drip when I run out.

Hello, Caveclown. I asked myself the very same question some 2 weeks ago. I have had 2 AGA T2s for the past week and they have been excellent to vape and tinker with. Now, I am expecting 2 IGO-Ls in a couple of days. I want to try my hand at dripping.

These are my first RBAs. Once you get through the learning curve, prepare yourself for a spectacular Vaping treat.

The RSST is imo the best RBA for a newbie. Cheap, beautiful, nice build quality, and insulated tank so you wont have hot spots, which is the biggest problem newbies have with gennies.

Take a look

Well iv had the aga t for a bit and thought it was great as far as flavor untill i got the vision eternity. I have the same exact juice in my aga, vivi nova, and vision eternity and the taste is best from the eternity. I did use the drip mode for a bit but it would leak so now i just use the tank thing sorry cant think of the name and it works perfect.

can the vision eternity work on my lambo epic storm? I am abit confused on how it says that it can be used as a drip or can be used on an ego-t. It looks pretty cool, and can be used as a drip and or a tank... best of both worlds in one device. Also is it easy to rebuild? I like how the aga-t looks in regards to rebuilding it.

As for the RSST.. is that just a genesis? Or is it something different? Also is there any place in Canada that sells them? Thanks again everyone.

i have an aga t2 and an RSST. i love the rsst

 

[bryce704]

The RSST is a plain old genesis, just a single wick can be used

Meh, I have a hard time recommending the RSST simply because it IS just for newbies. If you want to get into RBA's, REALLY get into RBA's, don't let some extra insulation keep you from mastering the art of rolling a good wick. It's not that difficult to do, even on an AGA. Besides, the RSST only has one wick hole which you might eventually find limiting. The AGA-T+/2, AGI, and similar gennies offer more flexibility for U-wicks, dual coils, etc. And then there is the price... pyrex tank or spend more for a plastic that *might* hold up to the tougher juices better than polycarbonate? I'll probably pick up an RSST sooner or later but not while I can still buy an AGA-T2 for less...

That said I too agree with my fellow drippers here. Even with a silica wick I find the taste and often the vapor production of a good dripper unparalleled even by my AGA-T2... and far better flavor than my vivis and the likes. I now have some bridgeless LR Boge dripping atomizers (not RBA), two Smok RDA's (the "Octopus"), one A7 (excellent!) and a handful of Phoenix clones on their way that I bought on a cheap-as-dirt sale. Will likely be picking up an IGO-L and/or an AGI too, soon. I LOVE my drippers!


EDIT: AND I might pick up one of the Eternities on sale too, after reading this thread! The only thing I've been skeptical about is those weird little stakes it uses. I would rather prefer holes for the wire and set screws...

I would suggest if you are new to rbas that you start with the igo-l. It will give you practice wrapping your coils. I love my igo-l and there are some great tutorials on wrapping your coil. Mind you I haven't graduated to genesis attys yet.....

 

[DATslumpinEG6]

IMO, i would have to go with the eternity. i borrowed my friends eternity for a couple days and it gives me a super clean hit and good amount of vapor.

 

[btlarue]

I am thinking of the rsst from smoketech
