I agree that dripping can pretty much give you everything that a gennie can. I only use gennies anymore for the most part, there is a vivi nova hear and a dripping atty there but for the most part it genesis all the way. That being said the genesis has kind of wrecked e cigs for me, I say this because vaping has no longer become a tool to quit smoking. Now this tool to quit smoking has become a quest to find the perfect vape. I was a long time fan of vivi novas so much so that I have about 30 of them all filled with different juices so I could just vape whatever i wanted when I wanted, I now only use a vivi nova at work (I do construction and the genesis is no good in your pocket) and when I'm vaping menthols because they are just too strong in a genesis for my liking.
Yeah the genesis IMO is one of the best ways to vape at this current moment, I have a lot of fun trying to perfect my wick and coil and the flavor and vapor production is just nuts compared to everything out there except maybe a dripping attie. However, this comes at a cost and a big one at that, I honestly don't want to know how much I spent in atomizers, hybrids, and mechanical mods. There are cheaper ways to get into genesis rba's a perfect example is the wonderfully inexpensive aga-t+, it works great and is cheaper than a carton of cigarettes. Although there are cheap alternatives you still will want to try other genesis set ups, after you realize waht they are capable of you start to wonder how much better it can get as technology progresses, and when you wonder how good it can get your wallet tends to get lighter.
All this being said yeah the genesis provides a great vape and it can be done cheaply, however if waht you have works for you and you are no longer smoking and your happy with how your vapor tastes and all then there is really no reason to switch to the gennies. This whole thing is about getting off cigarettes right? So if your doing that there is no reason to change what your already doing unless you want to keep up with the Jones', you want to try to find the perfect vape or you just want to blow as much money as you can as fast as you can (it will happen).
Also don't mean to be rude or call you out or anything but wick and wire set up initially isn't as easy as your thinking it will be, untill you figure out how much mesh to use (solid wick or hollow wick) for the wick and whether to oxidize or not oxidize or even different materials for the wick, and then after you figure out the gauge wire you want to use and how many ohms to run it at, and then after that figuring out the hotspots without popping a coil working with genesis atomizers can be a real pain in the you know what and at times you want to give up and never look back. It looks easy and it can be but initally it's a real pain to perfect.
