Unless you have a CoolFire IV, iStick 30, or a Defender (25 or 36W). Those are older single battery mods that will work just fine with 24 mm atties. Sorry for repeating myself, but I don't want anyone to think that they need to buy a 2-battery monster mod in order to use the Ares without the dreaded overhang.
And I agree that the Pico 25, Evic Primo mini,and Wismec Sinous P80 are all excellent choices. Primo and P80 are currently on sale at Health Cabin for ~12 bucks + shipping.
Can an aspire zelos handle a 24mm atty?
Certainly no device that has a similar feel to a cigarette is going to have the capacity to hold a 24mm atty - which is seemingly what PB and Dimi are saying is their target buyer, those new to vaping who want to recreate the smoking experience...
So, they either want to target mtl vapers new to vaping, or they want to target experienced mtl vapers. it seems they cannot make up their minds which it is. Experienced mtl vapers rarely if ever use large mods... but are at least more likely to do so than a new vaper wanting to recreate smoking.
Are they hoping for the new vaper who unwisely bought a large mod they now hate? Possible.
Just not many in the mtl crowd wanting a 24mm atty - certainly not enough to rush out and by a Siren clone for all intents and purpos as at least an authentic Siren v2 comes in a 22mm size which was the most popular size for the original Siren, and an aspect that made it a quite popular rta in the first place.
