Best sub ohm set up for a beginner

[Doctorvapes]

I'm looking to upgrade my setup. I currently have an Eleaf istick 40 w with a cubis pro tank vaping 0.5 coils at 28 watts but am craving more.

My question is since I'm fairly new what is the best mod/set up for a beginner only in it a few months.

I'm hoping to find something preferably with an internal battery that can go up to a higher wattage with a good tank combo as I've never dealt with batteries.

Thanks for reading.

Easiest answer to that for a simple but powerful DL kit would be a Smok Alien or their new AL85. Both, however, require a battery (2 for the Alien). However, batteries should not be scary. Simply buy a quality battery and you'll be OK. It also protects your investment for the day when the built in battery will no longer hold a charge and the mod becomes a paperweight (all Li batteries eventually no longer hold a charge). The Baby Beast tank with the Alien/AL85 (the smaller brother) is well regarded by DL vapers.

Here's a guide to batteries with a list of reputable dealers on the bottom from Mooch, our battery expert.

I have a Kanger Subvod, but the specs sound similar to what you're already using. It's geared toward beginners, especially those just getting into sub-ohm vaping. It's an ego style battery, 1300 mah, 3.7 v. The manual says it can go up to 60 watts, but it's probably only doing around half that. The standard coils are .5 ohm. It's a pretty nice setup, but probably not what you're looking for.

Craving more what?

Might have a look @ the ASTER RT/MELO RT 22 (Kit) or the iStick Power (Mod Only)...

The iPower mod with a Cleito or TFV8 Baby Beast tank would be pretty foolproof and both tanks perform great at about 45 watts. The iPower would last fairly long at that wattage.

I would probably go with the alien kit although you'll have the added expense of batteries and a charger. The kit is 59.99 over here for mod and charger which isn't bad . If on a tight budget I'd go for the ipower80 by eleaf 39.99 and no batteries or charger needed.

I would concur on the Smok Alien kit. Buy four good 18650 batteries and a charger. The Alien mod is a good dependable mod that will be more than you need as you progress. Personally, I only use Samsung 25R batteries.

Get a good mod that will handle most tanks you can throw at it. Finding one that doesn't require external batteries will severely limit your options. May as well take the leap and then work on satisfying your cravings by trying different tanks of which there are a plethora of choices.

I am also a fan of the Alien, and you may as well get the kit with the Baby Beast. If you like that tank and the vape it gives you, there is the Big Baby that will give you the same results while holding more juice. If it leaves you still craving more, just look for different tanks and don't worry about what mod to get. And your Baby Beast will still work nicely for a back-up tank and/or for changing flavors.

I've got the Alien and kbox70. They are both good and you do need backups . For the price difference you might as well get two Aliens.

 

[dyanaprajna]

While I agree that the Alien is a great MOD (I love my 220), the OP was looking for something with internal batteries.

 

[pfaber11]

Oh yes how right you are. Sorry forgot. The kbox70 isn't bad had mine since July and still performing well. Think the specs on the ipower 80 are better though.

Imho a iStick is a good choice. If you really want a new battery, check out the eLeaf Pico.
but maybe it was better for you to not to buy a new battery but a new atomizer?
maybe a rebuildable one, e.g. a RTA (=rebuildable tank atomizer)?

If you decide to buy a new battery (=mod), take an eLeaf or Joyetech mod. best choice, best for the money and for a beginner!

I have the Aster RT22 and although it is a great MOD Kit I am not too pleased with the battery life. It has never died on me but I have never used it as an ADV. Even with the Pico and Alien having removable batteries they both have USB charging which work perfectly fine.

 

[Doctorvapes]

I ended up getting an istick power, thinking about the baby beast tank. The istick power has amazing battery life .

Also got a wismec rx75 to play with so I'm all set for now.

Thanks guys for your replies.

Can't go wrong with an iStick if you look to the left in my picture there is my TC40W fully charged and ready to go.

Although they are both near the top of my wish list I really don't thing a beginner needs to carry around that monster or would be comfortable with it.

TFV8 wouldn't be too bad but stay away from anything made by wismec. I agree a beginner definitely doesn't need or should even want a quad 18650 mod.
