Hey all,
I've decided to try a rebuildable for using when at home, as I'm quite happy with my carto tanks when out 'n' about. But I'm unsure what's the best option considering the mass of choices out there.
I've looked at the IGO & Smok SCAR but, if I've read the info correctly, these only hold around 1-2ml of juce & I'd prefer one that's at least 3ml as it would last me all day without the need to fill it again. And I'd also prefer a polyproplyene or pyrex tank.
So could anyone advise me on what's the best choice for a budget of around £20-£30?

The RSST is easier to set up, it has a insulated wick hole (less chance of a short circuit) and a sprung positive post, much easier to connect wires to than the fiddly nuts. But the AGA T has a glass tank so should hold any juice and feels better made with a solid construction. The vape I found was about the same, just much less faff with the RSST. I think the AGA T holds more juice.
Doesn't answer your question but its a start.

What I'm vaping atm aren't tank crackers afaik. Mainly Peppermint, tobacco+strong menthol and CV's Snowdonia Dew ( 7Up / Sprite like in taste - slightly bitter ). I've had the latter one in (polycarbonate?) F16 & F17 tanks for the past week with no problems so far. Going by what Edge posted, the RSST looks like the better choice as it'll be my first rebuildable. And less faffing around can only be a good thing

The RSST would be an easier build, more first-time friendly, although my first gennies were two AGA-T's and it didn't take me long to get used to them

I've just come across the C9Vaping MAGA, which I quite like the look of. Plus it also comes with a few bits included to get me started.
Would this be a worthwhile alternative, or would the RSST still be a better option?

Well, I'm in the same position as you (never tried a genesis before - although I do have a silica rebuuldable), and I've opted for an RSST on the basis that everyone says they perform well and are easy to set up, and I also like the idea of the insulated wick hole.

The only problem with the rest is the draw, it may be too tight for many. I drilled mine out with a 1.3mm drill and now its ideal. Great first time attie.

rsst is very easy to use and set up as Blakey I drilled mine out to 1.2mm recommend it. Vaperus good and cheap, approx £19.50 and disc code IRISHVAPES gives 10%

Oh and another point for the RSST, the bottom of the tank comes all the way across, this prevents shorts from the wick.

You can't go far wrong with the RSST for a first genesis atty! Like others have said, and this is totally dependant on the user, drill the air hole out to 1.2mm, it really does make a difference to vapour and flavour!
If you have any problems when setting up, post on here and I'm sure someone will help you out.
Good luck!

Indeed, drilling the air hole out will improve the vape, but this is subjective, i like a really airy draw my AGA-T's are 2mm, IGO-L is almost 3mm etc etc

RSST it is then. Thanks all for the advice. If you could stretch your budget a little bit you ought to consider getting an RSST and an IGO L - then you'd have the best of both worlds btw Celtic Vapes include a spare tank, spare o-rings, etc with the RSST
