Simplicity and bang for the buck look at the icare from Eleaf or something similar. No huge clouds etc and are more mtl, alot use these for stealth type vaping. These type charge by USB and don't even have fire buttons. Its like the Juul mentioned except you can use whatever juice you want. That being said be careful with Max VG juice in this type of device as wicking issues can happen with thick juice.

I literally just quit analogs a week ago (for the second time) but I enjoy a dtl vape and it worked for me for quitting as well as low nic, Idk why but I smoked for 15 years and didn't require alot of nicotine just something to do with my mouth and blow "smoke". But im using a cuboid 150w with a aspire Cleito 120 tank. Its not really for quitting but it works for me.

However, getting back to your point, ive seen many a good review on the innokin endura t22. Super simple to use, no batteries to take in and out and charge know your ohms watts yada yada, just charge fill and vape. Believe it uses 1.5 coils and is great for mouth to lung hits (like a cigarette) and pulls with the same reaistance as one. CHEAP TOO! at 31$ US.. Dont think I can add links yet but search it on myvaporstore and you will come across it. Seems to be a very viable option in your situation. Best of luck to you!

I appreciate everyone's advice! I can't believe how prices went down on mods since I was vaping before.

I bought a Pegasus mod and a eleaf pico. The pico was only 35 bucks! I was expecting to spend like $200 so this was a relief. I'm also considering getting a Cupti because Tia on Youtube said it was her favorite mod. I've been watching Youtube videos and reading the forums all week and I've really confused myself.

The Pico hasn't been delivered yet, but I have the Pegasus now and it's too powerful.

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. My new eliquid hasn't arrived yet, but a bottle of Ultimo Custard 24mg eliquid came with the Pegasus from Vapor4Life. I also have a couple of very well-steeped glass bottles of Halo Prime and Belgian Cocoa 18mg (dated 2014) that I found in my old vape box. I also have some boxes of old 510 threaded cartos, so I decided to try out the mod. The carto, according to the Pegasus screen, is 1.33 ohms.

I set the wattage at 10 and this mod kicked like a mule and I was coughing like crazy. Really bad. I'm not a real heavy smoker, about 1/2 pack to 3/4 pack a day, depending on stress levels. I had the Ultimo custard 24mg eliquid in it with a 1.33 ohm carto. I turned it down to 5 watts and it was still too strong.

The mod came with a Triton tank, but since my new eliquid hasn't arrived yet, I didn't want to put in the stuff I have on hand. I don't know how hard it will be to clean the tank to change flavors.

Is it too strong because of the carto I'm using or is my eliquid too high in nicotine? Maybe it will be better when I use the tank?

I've got some lower mg ejuices coming from Mr. Eliquid and Vista Vapors in flavors I used to like (lemonade, watermelon, root beer, cotton candy). I'm getting a sample pack from Mr Eliquid, so I'm hoping there will be a flavor I like enough to fill the tank.

Can anyone please give me some tips or let me know what I'm doing wrong? I also tried a carto full of the old Halo Prime juice (18mg) and it actually still tasted good and fresh, but it was very strong and I was coughing.

I'm sorry for all the questions. I'm so out of the loop. Thank you so much. I really want to get off the cigarettes.

When I first started vaping (after smoking for 32 years) I coughed like crazy.. sometimes so much I coughed until I threw up, it took about two weeks to get over it.. then no more coughing associated with vaping.

After vaping, then quitting vaping for a few months, (no smoking, just nothing going into my lungs) when I picked vaping back up I didn't cough at all..

Two things here, e juice from what I have heard, only has a 1 year shelf life. You might try some fresh juice and see if that changes things for you, or is helpful for your cough.

If e liquid is seeming harsh on your throat, try max VG, and if that doesn't work, then you need to reduce your nic levels..

I got a Pico too. Just too many people talking about it not to! I used to use 18-24 mg way back, but since starting back this time, I'm using 12-16 and even sometimes lower to keep from knocking my throat out. I always use max VG. My set up is better so maybe it's delivering more, but that doesn't really explain your old carto
