I've used mine as both a standard, wicking Genesis-style atomizer and as an assisted dripper. Currently, I love a 1.5 ohm, 28 gauge Kanthal a-1 coil with a cotton wick. You need to tip the bottom of it up in the air to get it to feed well, but it performs beautifully that way. Also, the cotton is next to free (rolled cotton from CVS, 6 bucks for a 4 ounce package, enough to make about a billion wicks) and takes me with my ham hands less than a minute to change out for new flavors. Just my two cents. Good luck, do your research and have fun!
