The Ares 2 has an under coil airflow adjustment which imo is no easier to use than airflow pins.
Old man tank screams something designed by pbusardo to me, lol
The Expromizer V4 fits the bill. Super easy to build, top airflow, juice flow control
The Nevermore might fit the bill, it's 24mm top air flow and vapes well.
Hand on heart I couldn't recommend the Ares 2.
I thought you'd suggest the Bishop, it looks one of the easiest to wick.
i think the bishop could be a good shout. it’s super easy to build and wick, like you say.
I'd love the Bishop myself, it's one of my dream atties, but the botton-fill puts me off and I'm sure it would him too. I'm not sure how effective the top-fill top-caps actually are.. If it was top fill out of the box I think I'd already have one.
