What are the best aero tanks ?

Just keep in mind that the airflow from the Subtank or any sub ohm clearomizer is going to be substantially more than you have now on your Genitank... even on the tightest setting. If you're looking for airflow similar to what you have now, I'd go with the Nautilus or Nautilus Mini.
Hi Stan and welcome to ECF.
I have owned several variations of the aerotank and I've found that I tend to prefer the standard aerotank v2. The Mega seems to have a slightly muted flavor and the size creates a variance in vacuum that requires airflow/power adjustment while vaping the entire tank (in other words, I need to fiddle with it between the time the tank is mostly full and when you are almost finished with it). The aero mini has good flavor, but needs refilling more often and the airflow controller on mine is stiff and difficult to adjust. I have not tried the giant or the turbo... The aerotank v2 is much like the original aerotank and is about the same as your genitank, only with full surgical steel instead of plated brass. The difference between the original and the v2 is the airflow controller (improved in the v2) and the stock drip tip. Any of these tanks will uses the same heads as those used for your geni.
The previous suggestions for the nautilus tanks and subtanks are for different tanks. The Nautilus tanks will require different heads than used by your geni tanks (which may be important if you have a large supply of heads), but many people swear by them. They tend to also be slightly more power-hungry than the aerotanks, so, if you have a limited device, this could also be an issue.
The Subtank is a newer tank designed for sub-ohm and near-sub-ohm vaping and will require a device capable of pushing out 15-30 watts. The stock coils are also different than those used by the aerotanks--however, all but the "nano" version include the option for building your own coil like a RBA. As also mentioned, the airflow, designed for the higher watts, is considerably different as well, and may not be to your liking. One thing to note: with a little modification, you can use aerotank/genitank coils in a non-nano subtank at a higher resistance. I say "a little modification" because without any you will find that there is a gap between the chimney insulator on the head and the shaft of the tank (adding an o-ring or another insulator to the chimney can resolve this). The result is a vape that has slightly better airflow than an aerotank (flow is restricted by the head rather than the controller), a large capacity than the standard sized aero (without vacuum issues), and a slightly better flavor over all.
All of the above, of course, is subjective and is just from my personal experience. Your mileage my vary.

I think I liked my mini one the best, but I also had a mega and a MOW, and they all worked fine.
I don't like most of the 'old' Kanger tanks. "Aero" as a concept is kind of finished these days.
All the best tanks have airflow. The Aspire Nautilus has much less than the Kanger Subtanks.
Some drippers make Subtanks seem a bit limited. So many choices... great news for vapers!

Hi thanks for the reply someone on here told me that I might be vaping at a too low wattage for my kanger genitank and that's why I could be getting a leak. Have you ever heard of this ? It's a duel coul kangertech genitank and I normally only vape at about 8.5 they told me it should be between 9-12.
Thanks for the help would you choose aspire over kanger or is it just down to personnel preference.I don't like most of the 'old' Kanger tanks. "Aero" as a concept is kind of finished these days.

Cheers for the knowledge
Dam I think there's too much choice haha. Everytime I walk in my local vape shop I could empty my wages in there.I don't like most of the 'old' Kanger tanks. "Aero" as a concept is kind of finished these days.

Countboredom I can see why your a ecf guru no one can disagree with that thanks for the knowledge I think you've swung it for me Gonna go get a v2 off your recommendations. Iv heard good things too about the nautilus but my friend got one and he only had trouble with his.
I don't think Iv got enough knowledge and vaping experience to start modding my vapea yet but s big thanks to your knowledge.
You are a true guru
8.5 watts should be plenty for the Aerotank and I'm not sure that bumping up to 9 or even 12 watts will fix any leaking issues. At that wattage, you're very likely not flooding the coil. Who knows, though... I might be completely out to lunch with my guess. Give her a shot and bump the wattage up to 12, anyhow. See if that fixes things. The coils can certainly handle that wattage and you won't burn them.
