I'm going to buy one of those soon
If you didn't already have something in mind here's a couple i like myself :
aspire speeder kit
aspire nx75 (evo75) i own this one
Smok al85 (baby alien) or the full 220w kit but i think that's overkill for a first vw mod imho

Lots and lots of choices these days but to me mods aren't as important as the tank itself but as anyone would tell ya shop alot before buying don't do the first you see as lots of vape shops will try and scam you or try to sell you stuff you don't need. Look online first if needed to get an idea of what price does the mod/kit you want goes for that's what i did and got great deals like this before.

    I have an eleaf ijustone or something and it isn't working didn't work good to begin with but not is useless after a few days so little disappointed with that brand and the online site I bought it from won't help me.

    The eLeaf iStick 40W TC is Great Mod. And the GS Tank that comes in that kit is Also Very Good. Both have been around for awhile.

    eLeaf makes some Good Products. But All-in-Ones like your iJust One where you Can't adjust the Wattage are not for everyone.

    The aspires look good

    Yeah the smok 22 I think I think I paid about 8$ more than online but got a discount on juice....
    I bought the I leaf on sale online as a backup. Same with v8.

    I don't feel like learning to build my own coils right now
    I'm not a cloud chest and I just quit smoking so most interested in mouth to lung
    Any input would be appreciated
    Welcome and glad you joined.
    Tanks-I would check out:
    The Tron-S, with the CLR coils,the EHpro Kayfun Lite V2, Kayfun V5, and the Kanger Subtank Mini with the RBA/purch option.

    I have to say that the smok v8 I got with a baby beast tank is working a lot better than the smok 22. I have reached my spending budget for the month but I hope to but a better device next month after looking in to everyone's reccomendations
    Watch out though the shinyitis might get to ya :D and before you know it you'll end up having 100 mods and tanks like others here :p

    Kidding ofc but it's kinda still a thing tbh :lol:

    I do take a day or two now if I think I need something new. Luckily I still have to do a little stockpiling to do.Took me quite awhile to find my vape groove. I've learned what I need day to day and what I need to change it up occ. Am getting much better at waiting for holiday sales. Labor Day soon. Working on the list.

    To be frank i haven't use any of those so can't really help ya but i loved my nautilus back when i used it.
    You seemed to enjoy the baby beast tank, has that changed ? If not might aswell keep vaping this one instead of ordering a bunch of mods when you first start. The less finicky the better when you first start quitting. I had a generic 45 watt mod with a nautilus tank (5ml) haven't looked back since but upgraded to dl and sub 0hm for a more satisfying experience for me,which dosen't mean you'll like it too just like every other proposal people made.

    I recommended the survival kit if you can find one for less than $30 because it comes with everything you need (in a tank) to get a decent MTL to start with: The Nautilus X with a 1.8 Ohm atomizer. You can get a usable vape out of the thing all the way from 8 Watts to 20 Watts, although the manufacturer recommends 12 to 16 Watts and I tend to agree with that. I typically use it at 12-14 Watts. You can get the extension (longer glass and extra chimney) for $5 that brings the capacity up to 4 mls.

    If you go that way you do want to make sure that you are getting the full kit rather than the one that assumes you already have a Nautilus X, there are two kits. The other reason I recommend it is that it comes with everything you need to (eventually) play around with doing your own coils and putting together the different kinds of tanks. So it's a cheap way to grab a simple tank that will work immediately for MTL but will also allow you to experiment with more complicated vaping styles when you are ready to do it.

    But there are certainly cheaper and simpler options out there. And if you want both a new tank and a new mod the most convenient thing for you may be just to buy a MTL starter kit. I like My Vapor Store for hardware. I don't use them exclusively but I have found that they have good prices, a good selection, and they have given me good customer service. Here is a link to their starter kits organized by price, low to high:

    Starter Kits E Cigarette

    That might give you some ideas on what to look for and what kind of price range to decide on.

    I'm up for one of those box mods, I know people on here recommend nautilus but I just haven't been able to figure out what tanks and coils and mods to pair together.
    Nautilus 2 and an Eleaf Pico...(mod only not kit) they were made for each other. Fits perfectly in your pocket as well.

    @KC0YNU if that's the case then i'd go with what @Cosmic_Glaze suggested.
    Nautilus was my first one when i quit smoking and nautilus has alot of positive going for it, i've got no idea about the pico though but i'd go ahead and say any mod would do the job (just make sure it's a real and not a clone or fake one).

    I've had Picos since they first came out... love them. $26 you can not find a better mod. I have 3 of them. They have firmware updates as well. The new update even has a power boost. There will always be a place in my heart for the Nautilus line..the Nautilus mini was the tank that got me off smoking.
