Hello all. I am not new here, but I am finally here for the first time as a non-smoker! I plan on doing this "right" and never turning back, but I need a little help. I smoked 1-2 packs a day for over 20 years, ranging from Camel Lights, to Reds, and then ending on Newport 100's. I recently asked my Dr. about Chantix because it's completely covered by my insurance now, as it used to cost over $140. I started taking it, while I cut back on analogs. By week 4, I was down to 2-3 drags a day. I started vaping every time I had cravings, I now I am analog free for 16 days. It feels really good.
Back in the 90's, I tried to quit using Nicotrol, before e-cigs came out. For me, it was a complete joke. Horrible flavor, and no vapor or throat hit. Then, like many, I tried to quit with a cigarette-like e-cig, and that, too, was a joke. They only lasted just an hour or two and there were very limited flavors. I tried again when I discovered the ego style e-cig. It answered most of my needs, but leaked every time I used it. Each time I tried e-cigs and I quit smoking, I spent $50-100 to just to get started. I am now using Kanger Mini ProTank II's on a pass-through at my computer, and on EVOD batteries while on the go. But I hate how long my setup is. I don't like have a 6-7" long metal tube in my pocket. I searched and found something more up my alley, the Microstick, Gizmo, or even Kato box. Short and "flat". But they are so expensive, even the clone of the Kato is $70+, just for the shell. Plus the Microstick and Gizmo are never in stock.
So here is my question/problem: I like how the pass-through hits on it's highest setting, 4.2V. But then when I leave the house, I almost feel like I'm vaping the equivalent of an Ultralight analog, if that makes sense. I don't think I'm getting enough out the EVOD batteries. I prefer carrying extra batteries and having a smaller setup than having 1 device that lasts all day. I don't want the weight of the Kato or VTR in my pocket, but I guess more importantly, I need it to hit like my pass-through. Are there any devices I'm missing that would work for me? I do like using tanks, but I just don't know what to connect them to. I'm still a complete noob and learning, but I feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of options and information out there.
Any thoughts or ideas? I appreciate your input and thank you for your time.
