i have found that thicker gague wire is easier to work with than the thinner gague. also using the drill bit method made things easier for me. although there is something to be said about wrapping directly on the wick. another thing that helped me build a nice hotspot-free coil was the rolling paper method. a nice drill bit coil with a rolling paper trick wick will help speed up the learning process. oh, and kinking the coil leads slightly to form a Q shape helps with hotspots.

Any of the Aga versions are good. I have the Aga-T and Aga-S with an Aga-T2 coming in tomorrow. You can always use silica wicks for an easier to build wick and coil as you get the hang of stainless steel. That said, the dripping RBA's are easier to rebuild IMHO. The Phoenix, A7, Igo-L are all really easy to rebuild with silica or cotton wicks. The Phoenix clone is less than $10 and I learned how to build a SS wick and coil with it.

I just recently set up my AGA T as my very first RBA, and within 10 minutes had my very first wick/coil setup working nicely. Naturally I can't say it's the best beginner setup, as I've only got 2 RBA's, but for me at least, it was very simple and quick, and thus far I'm getting pretty darn good results. And at $30 it's hard to argue with!

AGA-T+ or T2. Cheap and well built, pure ss, and as easy (or difficult) as any.

Agreed. Excellent quality for the money; versatile (SS mesh or silica, and some are even using cotton now) and a glass tank so you don't have to worry about *any* type juice. No leaks and a solid build.

I've been looking at Genesis style RBA's for a few weeks now. Can someone tell me the difference between the AGA-T+ and the T2?

The T+ has a plastic tank. The T2 has a glass (pyrex, quartz, borosilicate....different names for the same thing) tank. Other than that they are absolutely identical.

No difference at all aga-t2 and aga-t+ both can use glass tank...agat alone has threaded while the other is just o rings cover

Yeah, that's the problem with how some vendors are marketing them. Some say "AGA-T+ with glass tank!", which really makes it an AGA-T2. Youde (the manufacturer), calls the AGA-T+ a T+ when it has a plastic tank, and a T2 when it comes with a glass tank. By simply swapping the plastic tank in the T+ with a glass one, you "convert" your T+ into a T2.

I have a genesis v2 coming from Genesis Style Rebuildable Electronic Cigarette Atomizer What sold me was the fact that they have premade SS wicks for it, which means as a brand new user to rebuildables I can focus solely on perfecting my wrapping skills instead of worrying about my oxidation skills. Plus now I don't have to go out and buy some kind of butane torch to get it set up.
