Hi Random, I am not fan of the throught hit myself, I use low nicotine 3mg or lower, High VG juice 70/30 and higher.Oky so I read though most of all that. I think i understand how the devices work.
So for me. I do not like the 'hit' effect.
So for me a low Watt device should work with the what ever flavor liquid i like. I like a lot of smoke but not the burning sensation. Think i am on the right track. The KangerTech Subox Mini Starter Kit looks like a good deal to start out with.
Kangertech Mini is what I am rocking almost the whole day till I feel like my Doge x2.
I recomend the RBA because you can set your own resistance. It can take a little while but you can find the sweet spot if you keep on trying different builds. At the moment I use a 26gauge 6 wraps around a 3mm bit, which brings it around .76 to .80 ohms.
Good luck and enjoy the experience!
