Gennys still produce the best flavour you'll find short of a dripper. You name it and I've tried it, but still always go back to my army of krakens. A genny build lasts for aeons when done right. Generally, I'll recoil my krakens about every 6 months, and rewick every week (with cotton wicks) or every 3-4 months with SS mesh/rope.

A genny can sit with some juice in the tank or sit empty with a build no problem. I've had gennys sit in a cupboard for months with a half full tank and no problems have been apparent.

The big thing with gennys is to find what wicking you like. Traditionally they have been used with SS mesh or rope, but the various types of cotton or silica are options as well. These days I find myself using jap cotton most often. 11 wraps of 0.4 kanthal (dual coiled) gives a 0.5 ohm build that is fantastic with thinner than usual cotton wicks at 30-35 W. Just be aware that your cotton wicks MUST be thinner than you normally use to prevent the cotton swelling and causing choke points in the wick holes.

Another plus of a well built genny is that they never flood or suffer from RCS(rice crispy syndrome - snap crackle and pop)
