I am still pretty new to vaping. I have been using an mvp2 with a nautilus tank for about the last 6 months, but because I was careless with it at work, I recently broke both the tank and the mod in one spectacular failure. Since I need a new set-up anyway I figured I might as well upgrade, so I have been doing a little research. It seems like all anyone is talking about is sub-ohm vaping, but I have no interest at all in spending the time and energy building coils, dripping, etc. associated with traditional sub-ohm vaping, and I'm also (as evidenced by the destruction of my last unit) not a particularly careful person so I would genuinely worry about the danger of sub-ohming. So what I'm wondering is, if I pick up an xpro m80 box mod and an Atlantis v2 tank with the .3 ohm coils, and run it at about 65-75 watts, will I be able to enjoy sub-ohm vaping with the same ease and safety I enjoyed with the mvp2/nautilus combo? Or is there something I am missing here? Are there additional safety concerns I would need to keep in mind? Thanks so much for any help!
Easy, safe, sub-ohm vaping?

If you want a fast, easy and safe way of starting out in sub ohm vaping without the need to build coils, I'd highly recommend one of the new sub ohm tanks that are on the market, some of which come bundled with a mod. My suggestions (in no particular order):
Aspire Atlantis + Aspire CF Sub Ohm Battery
Kanger Subbox + Color Matched Subtank Mini
Joyetech eGo One
Another option would be to buy either the Atlantis or Kanger Subtank on its own and pair it with something like an iStick 30W, an MVP 3 Pro, or an IPV Mini 70W.

It really is that simple with the premade .3 sub ohm factory coils. The only issue "in my opinion" is I would want a larger wattage mod for headroom. If you're pushing 56 to 75 watts I'd suggest a 100W mod.
I went to the Kanger Subtank Mini from my Nautilus and I am very happy with the 1.2 ohm factory OCC coils. (I have the iStick 50W)

All you need to do is figure out what you want out of the tank as in the type of air flow, how much watts you want to throw at it, etc. All the recommendations that Caferacer would be great. If you wanted to go higher wattage, I've heard good things about the Herakles I think it's called, and the Arctic tank.
If all you will use the M80 for is the normal coils and wouldn't use the temp control feature, I say go for it. It you plan on using the temp control, then do not get it.
It really is that simple. Just plug and play.

i have the m80 and a sigelei 100w plus... and the atlantis 2 - like both mods and really like the tank - generally use the atl2 on my sigelei at 70w with the .3 ohm coil and it rocks... the m80 seems to run it just fine as well, with the added bonus of usb charging (no need for matched pairs of batteries and a charger, as with the sigelei)... the m80 is very versatile - have a hellboy clone dripper on it currently and am fogging up the basement, lol
and for what it is worth, i have found i definitely prefer the sub ohm vape, though i may go through just a bit more juice now...
Subtank mini has done fine with me on a 30w mod. If you wanna go higher wattage though I would definitely get a herakles. I've heard good things about it. Atlantis 2 I heard is good too. It would be a good upgrade overall
Thank you everybody for all the responses! I think I have decided to go with an istick 50W for convenience and the long battery life, along with the Atlantis 2 tank. That means I should use the 1.0 ohm coils correct? If anybody has the time/desire to explain to me why you would use a .3 ohm coil for 70-80 watt mod, the .5 for the 20-30 watt mod, but a 1.0 for the 40-50, I would be thrilled to find out why. Not sure why it wouldn't be a linear correlation. Thanks again!
My current set up at the moment is an Arctic subtank at .2 ohm factory coil any my ipv mini 2. I have the 70 watt version. It produces a dence flavorful vape that i have gound closest to any of my rda/rta. But with all the great vast selection of subtanks out there it all falls under ypur preferences.
Those sound like preferences. 40-50 watts at 1 ohm seems like a lot, but the Atlantis 2 may have the airflow to keep it cool. I'd assume the same thing, though; 1 ohm @ 20-30 watts, .5 ohms @ 40-50 watts, and .3 ohms at 70-80 watts.
Id go with a eleaf istick 50w with joyetech delta 2 tank. Easy to use, nice clouds, great flavor, and durable. All together about 120$. Best bang for your buck when it comes to prebuilt sub ohms. The coil itself is a round 8$, 5 pack around 20-25$
I go .5 ohms in my delta 2 at 35 watts most the time. Rips great!
Joyetech warns not to go over 45w but they did just release the temp control coils that make it so you can push up to 60w
If you wanna vape Subtank at higher wattage, make sure you get Ni coils. Temperature control is the way to go
Be aware that some of the iStick 50 Watt have had some serious issues. Make sure that you purchase directly from the manufacturer in order to use their warranty.
