A lot of us spent outrageous amounts of money trying different things when we started (or even STILL

) But you're on the right track, and eventually, some combination of hardware/juice will "click" for you and you can relax. TBH, some of us don't have just one combination that "clicks". I've wound up with a good bottom feeder, a mod I made from some Radioshack parts, a Screwdriver, an Ego (with and without tanks), and a Smokefree. I switch around between
all of them. It's an adventure, albeit a tasty one
