Stopped vaping 2-3 years ago when it made me cough badly.
Quitting smoking, Juul works OK. Too expensive. Looking for refillable with temp control to maybe avoid the high heat products causing cough.
Using an eLeaf iStick 30W at 7-8W on a coil I made in EHPRO tank, no cough.
Not going to support Juul due to horrid battery life. 2 Pods a day is waht I do when not smoking, so need a more robust system. HOWEVER, they don't seem to make them any smaller, only higher wattage. I cannot even buy an iStick 30W the same size. I can get a 50W or 80W both with TC, but they're an inch longer and more boxy.
Closest I found for size desired:
SIGELEI SIBRA E2 80W TC
Looking for cool vapor with standard juice on that one, using supplied tank coil and temp control, or swapping out my EHPRO and doing constant wattage to comare on low temp with kanthal wire.
I'm NOT a sub-ohm fog machine, never have been, always the barely visible, except when it was a neat way to test coils...
So, juul type thing is perfect, just not enough capacity (fluid or battery).
Looking at that Sigelei above, is there a smaller one that takes an 18650 battery?
I plan on getting the Kanger pod system for discreet places/areas. The KANGER UBOAT ULTRA PORTABLE
The pod system isn't critical, it costs just a little more than 2 days worth of juice for the Juul, or the same as smoking Marlboros, so I must find a better way off smokes. Actually quit last time, even after I started coughing 8 months in w/o cigarettes, went about a year. Plan the same thing, just without starting real smokes again.
I have no brand loyalty to speak of, can figure out any interface. Looking for compact and contollable. The pod system I'd like to be entirely automatic, like the Juul or Uboat, no buttons. The tank system I plan on Ceramic temp control w/their tank and coils, or one of my RBA.
I'm looking for, in Order:
Compact
510 based system / open future options.
Temp Control
Low cost
Kit ready to go.
The main will be tank system with traditional juice, the Juul replacement is for areas I can't carry around a giant brick. Everything else electronic has gotten smaller in the past 4 years, these have only grown, but now put out 10x the power. I've never used over 15W.
What I'd like is pre-heat, smart detect, Current Ramp/pulse/PWM on Kanthal to simulate temp control (if it exists, I can program it, just not compactly). No wifi or fancy lights needed. Black/dark. Accidental activation difficult if in pocket and unlocked.
Actually, I'm not sure what features I want, but maybe somebody can read the above and let me know. SO much has changed in just a few years it's mind blowing. Seems only the DNA systems do pulsed pseudo temp control with Kanthal RBA, user config ramp times, etc. II wish there was a compact unit that could run that firmware.
