I migrated from Nova Vision to CE5, both top coils, and the latter proved to be a solid and reliable device. When one of my CE5s cracked along the bottom I went looking for a replacement, hearing good things about the bottom coil Evod I thought I'd give one a go. After 3 months of trouble free, full flavour usage the Evod has me hooked. It maybe time for ProTank II, if only they used the same heads.

My only complaint about the new mini protank 2 is that when you go to top off occasionally the glass comes apart(at the dissembling points) in your hands along with the juice. I haven't received the full size one yet so I can't critique that one yet.
Yep. Some want to defy gravity, others want to go with the flow... it's all good.
The standard Protank 2 doesn't have that problem. The part you remove to fill the tank is separate from the parts holding the pyrex.
I like the warmer top coils I guess, enought that I have'nt tried a bottom coil up to this point. They work for me.
I haven't tried a top one yet... I've got a Kanger pro tank 2 with my machine. I've heard it gives you a warm vape... I figured it'd be more like a real cigarette with a warmer vape. I'm planning on trying a few different atomizers and see what's best for me as I can afford them. 
I've been hearing about this... what causes some juices to crack the tanks...?
Long story short, because the chemistry of the components in the juice react badly with the materials of the tank. Some juices are best used in glass or metal tanks.
I have both bottom and top coil clearomizers, but my absolute favorite is the Kanger T2 (long wick) top coil, the coils seem to last forever, easy to fill, haven't had any dry hits, easy to clean and I don't need to tip or tilt to keep the wicks wet. I use them on the Ego-C Twist and my Vamo.
Top coil! Warmer vape, easy to fill and unlike what I just read (?) I have had zero leaks or issues with it. My one and only dry hit was my very first day i used it and didn't soak the wicks long enough. Maybe ur local B&M are acting like that because new tanks are out w/bottom feeders and that's the "in" thing at the moment.
If I were a menthol person and wanted a cooler vape, maybe I'd go w/bottom but I prefer a warmer vape and less hassles. I've seen my friends dump more juice all over trying to unscrew and fill a bottom coil...what a mess.
Yes, you have to keep the wicks wet on a top coil and at times spin/twirl the PV upside down, but to me this is exactly what I'd do with a cig as I was smoking with an ashtray. I kind of would "pack" the cherry after flicking the ashes so it wouldn't fall off, i would twirl the cigarette on the insides of an ashtray. This habit carried over to twirling my PV and keeping wicks wet, minus the ashtray. So it is now my new ritual and it helps me w/the analog quit.
Good luck to whatever you find works for you!

As you can see, there are two avid camps, pretty much whatever you ask about here, lol. The best setup is the one that keeps you off of analogs. One of the things that is the most fun about this lifestyle/hobby is that you can try out all of the options yourself and see what works best for you. I think you'll find that each atomizer has its' advantages and disadvantages. It also depends on the wattage that you vape at and even the juice you use. Good luck and have fun!
I'm still new to vaping but so far.........I like them all. Others more than some. I am starting to lean toward the pyrex but I try not to discriminate.
I prefer top coils, long wick CE4's and T2's. I get better flavor and more warmth, less harshness with good top coils. With bottom coils, I have to use a higher resistance on my devices to avoid a bit of burning in the back of my throat and tongue. As an example, the Bauway CE4's with the removable drip tip work well for me at 1.6 ohms with plenty of flavor at 3.7 volts, while harshness leads me to use 2.2 ohms with an Evod, yet the flavor is still off.
I like to drip and top coils still taste closest to dripping for me.

I have iclear16/30 and kanger protank. Definitely kanger with bottom coil for me!
If I had to use a clearomizer, it would be a top coil. With a bottom coil, I can't just spin or turn the atomizer upside down to get the coil saturated. I have to depend on my fussy liquid wicking properly with it, and I can't just pop it open really quick to see the coil. Ultimately I choose, center coil...or only a coil. cartomizer...or RDA/dripper.
So far, I prefer top coils. But, once I've experimented with removing flavor wicks, who knows? Top coils are just simpler. Just fill and go. I get more dry hits with bottom coils out of the box.
Besides, eGo-style batteries are usually laying down, especially in a purse. In that case, gravity does the bottom coil no good.
