Do people still use genesis style atomizers?

I believe that Gennies are still quite popular. Myself, I used them less and less, until I stopped using them completely, last year.
12 page discussion already in place here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...s-tanks-dead-ive-got-few-collecting-dust.html
Why try what even the biggest fans will admit can be a major PITA? What I've found is if done right you get flavor on par with a Kayfun and the option to do sub ohm builds (yes you can kinda sub on a Kayfun). Personally I gave mine away already or I would send it to you.
If you can vape on it - folks will use it, yesterday - today - and tomorrow.. It's fun to get a build on something that works well.. a sense of achievement.
If your not up to the challenge, just pass it by.. I have an RSST with that readyxwick stuff and it works well...I use it occasionally, it's not my go to topper though..

darn straight, i love when i have completed a challenging build
I still feel a genny with mesh gives the absolute best vape of anything I've tried, from nic delivery, flavor, mouth feel of the vapor, etc. Buy there are two major issues I was never able to iron out with genesis devices even after plenty of effort, and that's leaking and random dry hits/tilting requirement.
I'd prefer a dual coil build around 35-40 watts, and I was never able to get any gennys to both stay leak free AND chainvape at those power levels. I could do a leak-free build, but then it wouldn't wick well enough. I could do a build that wicked amazingly, but then it leaked horribly. Trying to find a sweet spot between the two just gave me the worst aspects of both (leaking and slow wicking)
There are also a few other minor issues with gennies, like the juice cooking, and it seems like a little more power is required compared to a cotton build. On occasion I'll break out the Kraken or AGI or something and throw a build on there and I'm always rewarded with an amazing vape. Then I accidentally lay it on its side and the tank drains, then I forget to keep the wick on the bottom of the tank while taking a vape and get an awful dry hit, then I go back to Kayfuns
It appears gennys are becoming more of a niche instead of the standard for rebuildables like they used to be, but there are still plenty of people who use them, and still high end manufacturers releasing them, so I think they'll stick around for awhile. Must be a good time to be a genesis user, you can find so many genny devices dirt cheap these days!

Kept 2 RSSTs. I gave 3 other gennies to the youngsters at a local vape meet.
Once you cut your teeth on a gennie and get to the point where mesh is just another wicking material in terms of difficulty; you can't beat a gennie, imho. Pristine flavor. Very low maintenance.
They are all I use all day, every day.
I guess I'm in that category of big fans. I dare say they are the most PITA-free setups I've ever used once I got the hang of it. I don't suffer from dry hits or leaking.
The whole trick to making them not leak while still wick well is to narrow down the re-fill hole. I use nozzles from e-liquid bottles as plugs. Big enough for air to get in; small enough to keep liquids from escaping.

I quite enjoy genesis atomizers, in fact, I dislike kayfuns. I had nothing but issues with RTAs, the big thing about a genesis is the leaking issue; I've also never had a leak with a cotton build.
A mesh build is more difficult, but a cotton build is quick and performs well.

thats prob. why mine never leaked, i use cotton and nothing but cotton on everything i own.
