Firstly are you an ex-smoker looking to quit, do you have any previous experience with vaping if so what's your older setups you've used ? what kind of experience are you looking for vape wise etc.
IF you don't have any previous experiences with vaping i'd highly suggest you don't start with a rebuildable right away as there's a couple things you need to master first (mostly battery safety, unless your mod is a mech one then it gets much more complicated).
Otherwise i'd d say both are probably good choices, i myself just picked up the limitless xl and boy oh boy do i love it already, lots of negative but i haven't experienced anything bad yet myself. if you'd have to pick i'd say the rdta 5

It depends on what you want it to do. The Combo 2 looks like a rework of the Limitless, of which machine I have 5 or 6 copies and like them a lot. It's a traditional side-air RDA with a really big juice store, is all. Real versatile; build it any way you want. Cloud, flavor, big air, tight draw, whatever pleases you. It has a V-style deck and will be easy to build.
The RDTA 5 is something different. It looks to be a try at a full blown cloud machine. It had independently adjustable bottom and side air, in the manner of competition toppers. I wouldn't expect huge flavor out of it, but if you close the air down some it ought to be at least OK. But if it's cloud you want, you should get more out of the 5 than the 2, at least if you know what you're doing as a builder. Whether or no it is actually good at it is a question I can't answer, but that appears to be what the designers were shooting for. Note to the inexperienced: bottom air toppers tend to leak. Make sure your coils are wider than the air intake port.
Now, I say all that, but I don't have either machine. I am going on the pictures on iJoy's website. YMMV, but I'd pick the 2 as it better suits my style of vaping.

Both look pretty similar so aesthetics are up in the air. The biggest difference I could find is that the Combo 2 has a single coil configuration option if that's something that floats your boat. Looks a bit more complicated as well with interchangeable deck and clamp style posts. Both seem to have good quality construction.
Personally I'd go for the RDTA 5. It's simpler and the solid steel is an A+ to me. Honestly I think I might get that, exactly what I've been looking for and the reviews on MyVaporStore are pretty solid.
Couple reviews in case you wanna know the nitty-gritty:
Ahh the good ole' days! Well. After the good ole' days of eGos and Cig-A-Likes, but before mods were really a thing. I do miss my 2 Nemesis mechs. Gave one to my brother and the other has a faulty switch assembly. My how times change...

I'm smoking e cigarettes for like 5 months now. I was smoking normal Combo RDTA for like 3months, so i think the Combo 2 will be better for me in my opinion, rdta 5 doesnt look like its simplier tho.
Also i can see that RDTA 5 is actually on sale that's why it costs the same as combo 2. I'll watch multiple reviews and decide.
Howdy!
What ever you pick make sure you have back-ups of everything. If you don't it will break or stop working when you are most likely to go buy a pack of analogs. Do yourself a favor if you really want to quit and listen to someone who has been there and done that! My
