You can actually rebuild any wick I've seen such as pro tank-evod coils or vivi nova. Granted those are a bit annoying at first but there are plenty of YouTube vids. Sounds like you're after a genesis tank (I think that's its name). I know the rsst is an option. I've not used it first hand but it seems legit.
Thought the Kayfun was the direction to go in but what about all of this that I read about leaking?
You would be looking for, in my opinion, something like a genesis tank, a Kayfun, Taifun, or Fogger. Easy to build, once you get the hang of it, can use cotton or almost any wicking material as you please, and AFAIK, are all tank systems, of varying sizes.
I have 5 EHPRO KFL+ and have not had any issues with leaking. The TOBECO that I had did leak, so bad that I returned it. Generally the leaking is caused by the tank not being able to hold a vacuum, allowing the e-juice to flood the expansion chamber and leak out.
Second person that recommended the EHPRO, thanks. How do you make sure your tank holds a vacuum?
The easiest way is once you've put everything back together, make sure everything is screwed on tight, then use the fill screw on the bottom and bottom fill. You'll see an air bubble pop up after you put the fill screw back on and turn it back right side up.
The other way to problem solve leaks is to re-wick the cotton. Usually too much cotton is the problem, but I have under wicked my KFL before and had gurgling that way as well.
So in short, if you filled your kayfun from the bottom and are sure you screwed everything on tight, a leak will usually be caused by improper wicking.
Ok thanks. I was researching and looking at pics and I did see the fill place you are talking about (shows a picture of juice dripping next to a hole)
So get it together tight and use the fill screw and if you still have a leak it is in the cotton wick (over or under) phew so much new stuff. Do you think there is major change flavor wise. Truth be told I did not notice so much better flavor in a regular dripper (Igo w) and so much hassle.
Have a look at the Sophia (ΣΟΦΙΑ) from By Leo - you can combine it with many different carto-tanks.
Also look at the Heron from GP (VapourArt). With the cotton topper, the whole thing becomes a big tank -- folks have put glass on 'em too. Limited prod and $$, but awesome.

+1 on Russian 91% or KFL. Also, if you want dual coil, the Aqua is great and the new Fogger V4 looks great as well. I'm using the Aqua as I type this and have a black Fogger V4 on the way to me. 
Both the Kayfun & Taifun are very good. I have both and prefer the Taifun GT once you learn how to wick it.
I like cotton in a micro coil and the trick is to use less than you initially think you need.
There are many good videos here to help you get started.
Having said that I recommend you have a look at the REO. You get the great flavor of dripping but without the hassle due to the built in bottle, think tank, and you just give it a squeeze to juice the coil.
I now have 2 REO's and that is about all I'm using.
There is an extremely friendly and helpful forum right here so have a read and see what you think.

Kayfun.....Kayfun Lite....Kayfun Lite Plus....Russian....(LOL....think I like Kayfuns?) If you are really, really concerned about leaking? Buy the originals...but...leaking may still occur. Part of that is learning how to use the device. No tank is perfect. BTW...my EHPRO Kayfun Lite is perfect.
Pfft! PT2's will put leaking right in perspective for you! I still use and build my ProTanks, but they can be finicky. My KFL+ tanks have never leaked, not one drop. Most leaking problems with the KFL can be pinned down to filling it from the top, or too tight an airflow adjustment (KFL+) and even then, it is difficult to get it to leak a lot.
