Provided you're not using any tank-cracker liquids, sounds like an RSST would do you well. Insulated wick hole, plenty of room to build, and a spring loaded center post (so no tiny nuts). If you need a pyrex tank, a Richman RBA is a great piece too, it has the nuts on the center post but theyre much larger than something like the AGA-T so i find it to be much easier to build.

drippers, if not looking for a genesis tank - drippers cant get much easier, wrap coil, attach to screws, drip, go.

but def an rsst for a cheap geni. no center post nut to play with just slip the wire into the washer. plastic tank help insulate the wick from shorting.
and the kayfun for a silica wick device. about the same as setting up a dripper.

the drillbit method makes wrapping coils for a geni much easier. that may help you somewhat. but no matter what there is going to be hands on in a small space with smaller screws and thin wire. its not terribly difficult and gets easier each attempt but something to think about.

Hello:

What is in your opinions the simplest RBA to build and maintain? My hands are not as steady as they used to be and wrapping coils with very close spacing is hard for me. Also, I don't want to solder or use different type wires in the same build.

Thanks,
James

James, my cigarette smoking was partially the cause of my stroke. Due to said stroke, i only have 1 functional hand. For me to wrap coils with silica wicks, I use these things called Helping Hands Alligator Clips that I picked up at Menards. They have a heavy base that have two clips. I put the silica and the wire in a clip, so I can use my hand to wrap the kanthal. They make coil building much easier for me.

I would go for an IGO-L dripper. Lots of room to work with and as simple as it gets.

I have an RSST and I do believe it is the easiest genesis atomizer to build on, but it is still a genesis and therefore not easy. You still have to roll a mesh wick and work out hotspots, sometimes frequently during use. I haven't tried cable or ceramic, so I don't know if that makes things easier or creates different issues to deal with.
