So my question is, is top feed genesis attys flaw? What I mean by this is it a design flaw because it just seems logical that bottom feed makes more sense obviously no risk of dry burning. I know someone is going to tell me they're different and I understand that...But is one design just simply better than the other? Regardless of the atomizer brand.
Genesis Attys: Top Feed vs Bottom Feed

Genesis Attys were designed around the use of a stainless steel mesh wick. With that wick, it is pretty efficient at pulling the liquid up to the coils through osmosis. It's only when the tank is low does the user need to tilt in order to bring the juice to the top of the coils. There are people to prefer cotton to wick their gennies, but that is mostly for the taste that cotton brings. The absorbcy of the cotton actually doesn't bring liquid up as fast as the osmosis of the eliquid in ss mesh.
Actually one of the most important pros for the top feeding of the genny is that there is almost no chance of flooding. Flooding and gurgling is almost the exclusive problem for bottom feeders.
One weakness of the gennies is that they can and will leak on you if you leave it horizontal or upside down. Also, the learning curve in building a ss mesh wick and coil is a steep one, requiring lots more patience than building a micro coil for a bottom feeder.
I use both. I enjoy my genesis because it's my Pyrex tank and allows me vape plastic cracking juices (versus the plastic window on the Kayfun Lite+). I also enjoy the crisp taste that ss mesh brings you. It's not *better* than cotton, but it is more crisp.

I have an RSST and luv it even tho its setup with a silica feed wick going to a bed of cotton with a horizontal nano coil. Pretty much gives me the "juicyness" of a dripper ( being the cotton stays so wet all the time) but with the convienience of a tanked topper.
I use a genesis with a stainless steel mesh wick. I took it a step further and put a very thin cotton wick inside of it to hold more juice. The mesh gets hot enough about half way through to vaporize the juice on the cotton. Makes for a hard hitting vape towards then end of the draw. I describe it as a turbo; where a turbo charger kicks in after the rpms are high enough, the cotton holds its juice until the coil gets it hot enough.
