As I mentioned before, VooPoo is great for general use, which is what most people generally use them for. So in terms of positive feedback in terms of volume, these are going to be very popular. To do exotic builds or want exotic results, you're going to want to look beyond VooPoo, but that's going to run into some coin. You wouldn't want to buy a Chevy Impala and expect it to compete in a drag race against a Bugatti (the irony of the mod name in this comparison is profound). I'm not sure what you have access to, but we can help you find what you're looking for.
Are you able to buy stuff from FastTech? This would open up a lot of options for you.
For a good quality starter, I'd suggest the GeekVape Aegis Legend 200 mod. The price has finally dropped on it and you can find decent prices around $30-35. It's dual battery, buck boosted 12V output, and it's quite a hardy built mod.
The RDA you're getting looks to be a decent starter. Decently deep juice well, and big vertical clamps. Remember, you're probably better off going with a single coil build (even in that RDA) until your comfortable with them. Dual coil is going to require twice the power which is fine, but will also add a ton of heat to the shell of the RDA which means it's going to get very hot. But you should learn a lot from that RDA. You can bend the coil down or up to get different results based on the airflow inlets. Play around with it some, find what you like.
I know you're using this as an example, but look at the dates up top. People using this as a reference might be misled on current information regarding the same model of batteries.Oem means like they are made from the origical manufacturer and not rewraped ...the ones u got if they are geniune (i dont mean yours are not) they are one of the good batteries out there its just for the use u want to do with them cause they have large capacity but less amps draw... cause u will see that batteries that have high amp rating tend to have lower capacity...cant have it all

Oof. I know those stats look juicy, but unfortunately they're misleading, which is what companies want so that you will continue buying them. These guys are tested at 3000 mAh, 15 CDR / 20 CDR if kept under 80C. If you can find the Sony VTC5A or VTC5D, their CDR is a flat 25A, which is a decent middle ground for high capacity, high output. You can get 30A CDR with Samsung 20S's, but you're looking at 2000 mAh, or 2/3 of the battery life before needing to recharge as your current batteries.
And I'll add that your PCB will likely usually last longer when you use your mod at lower wattage. The harder you push a mod, the more heat the components on the PCB generate. Heat degrades the components and if you vape mainstream Chinese brand mods, you can bet most are using really cheap components. Cheaper components degrade faster.
(Dave watching this thread while vaping a Kayfun v2 with 50pg/50vg at 8 watts and recreating the experience of a Lite cigarette.)
To the OP, 100% VG liquids will give you the clouds you are after. With 100% VG you'd be surprised at the clouds you can create without cranking the vape to a high (and hotter) level.

Why is it all I can think of reading this thread is this...
says the person vaping at 8-9 watts 1.6 - 1.8 ohms who thinks she gets plenty of vapor... more than she ever did when smoking
admittedly I don't understand wanting to vape at 177 watts... If it's clouds you are chasing (which I didn't think was a thing anymore) that can be accomplished at much (much) lower watts AND at higher ohms.

My first "big" mod was a brand I came to despise and one that gets a bad knock here on the forum. I didn't know better but managed to get 8 months out of it. In that time, I did some high wattage vaping. The coils could handle it and I went as high as 150 watts but hovered around 130. These days, much different. I have a drag 2 currently and with a fireluke 2 at .22 ohms, I vape happily at 56 watts. I found that I like the mesh coils way better. I'm also prepared for the day I cant get these coils. Several rebuildables on hand and plenty of wire. Even with that type of setup, I build my coils to ring in at .22 ohms. Must be a magic number for me. All said, there is really no good reason to push a mod to the max wattage. Hard on the mod, batteries and coils and truthfully no real benefit. The voopoo drag family are really decent mid priced mods that really perform like higher priced mods and if you take care of them they will take care of you. I've had the original drag and kept it for over a year before I gave it to a buddy to use. I've had my drag 2 nearly a year now and other than the finish coming off (apparently voopoo hasn't made a permanent finish on any of these) it vapes famously and I'm not even worried its gonna stop working. I did buy the drag x pod mod for a backup. Single battery, specific type tank and coil for the thing. I expected a weaker but doable hit. The little thing hits like its big brother. I was amazed. Vaping is what you make of it. Experiment till you find your own happy place and you'll be vaping famously yourself in no time.
