Settle this debate for me!

So I recently gifted a friend of mine who is still getting his feet wet in the vaping world a Kangertech Aerotank Mega, and for some reason, he thinks you can fill it from the top, which I told him you definitely can not. I'll post the exact conversation here.

Him: you can do that with the Aerotank Mega too
Me: You can? I don't know about that.
Him: yeah but you have to be careful how full you fill it, of course.
Me: No. It's a bottom fill. The only way you could fill it from the top is if you only do it like halfway, due to the chimney being the way it is.
Him: then the mouthpiece part shouldn't be able to come apart from the tank, but it does, it's not even glued together.
Me: Yeah. That's called a drip tip. They're interchangeable. Your T3D is like that, too.
Him:
yeah, but with the T3D it's a seperate part that comes off, and doesn't leave the top of the tank exposed.
on the aerotank mega it's all one piece. either way, you can still only fill it so full from the top or bottom because of the center hole. it still holds a good amount though.

So, yeah. I'm pretty sure the only way you could possibly fill it from the top is if you took the top half of the chimney off and filled it that way, since the chimney is kind of in two pieces, but then you could only fill it to the spot where the chimney splits. Anyone who can definitively settle this for me?

It sounds like he thinks you can fill it from where the drip tip goes in? If so, then he's totally wrong. He can top fill though, bit only to the point half way up the chimney and it would be a pain because it seems as though the glass is held in place by screwing the top and bottom metal pieces together. It should be filled from the bottom, period.

Edit: It was designed to be a bottom fill tank:

I can't wait to see how this all comes out!!!!

Let him try it...

Well hes not exactly wrong You can fill it part way from the top Its not how it was intended but with a needle tip its doable. So hes half right.
As far as the debate goes Id compliment him for using his noodle and figuring out a way to use his new toy a little different even if its not so practical.

wouldnt be easier to just try it instead of debating over it?

you can fill it all the way up... if you stick a qtip up through the center so that the top is even with the end of the screw threads...and then push it back out with the coil as you're screwing down the deck.
