Help picking first vape?

I've been looking at and researching what might work best for my first vape. I'm wanting more of a MTL / RDL device since I've used and like disposables. I've had a few recommends here and one of them was for the XROS 3&4 that seems to get good reviews. During my research I've ran across a lot of posts here and elsewhere saying the new corex 2.0 pods are junk. While they are marketed as having better flavor and lasting considerably longer it appears it's the opposite. I'm seeing people say the new pods leak and the corex 2.0 coils taste burnt fairly straight away and often burn out and need to be replaced far quicker than the older coils it replaced. Has this issue been resolved?

I have some other ones I'm interested in and would like some opinions. I need something that does not leak! I would like something that is both draw activated and fire button if possible. I'd prefer to be able to replace coils. The coils should last a good amount of time. The oxva pnp x coils states they last about 100ml of liquid. Are any of the ones below a decent pick?

"Nexlim."

"Vprime" says both DTL and MTL.

"Argus G2"

"Argus E40 / Vinci E120" * both of these use the pnp x coils which are suppose to last twice as long. The coils are replaceable which I like and they have a MTL pod that fits the E40 per customer service reply. "voopoo vinci pnp x mtl 5mg pod" Anybody using the E40 and like it?

Aspire pixo ..based on YouTube reviews but it doesn't seem available in the USA yet?

I plan on trying freebase and nic salts would a 0.6/0.8 coil be good for this at say 12-18 mg nic?

Aspire no longer distributes to the USA. Online vendors in Mainland China & Europe may carry Aspire products.

Tolerance for nic depends on the person & on their smoking history. 12 or 18mg is generally fine for most people using MTL or RDL.
"Argus E40 / Vinci E120"
You're unlikely to be disappointed w/ PnP-X coils.
 
I have a xros pro that I have a love/hate relationship with. I’ve had several pods leak; but when it’s not needing filling and then fiddled with to clean, it vapes pretty smooth and it’s light weight. Gives decent flavor, but the throw wanes as the battery drops. With every pull it gets juicier. But who am I? Maybe I got a dud, but I haven’t formally complained. And, ymmv.

Thanks for your input. I like the form factor but too many people say the same thing..they leak and new coils are junk. I'm probably going to get a luxe x pro since it seems like it gets good reviews.

I’m thinking of either picking up a eco nano or just moving away from .4 coils. I was hoping for a better pod system on the horizon from Vaporesso, but I don’t like the sound of their newest. Off hand, is the luxe x pro from Vaporesso? I need to take a look at the pods they use in it.
