Didn't have a recommendation.... I use a Mech with a 15watt kick in it.. I don't do "crazy".. I just didn't understand the OP's logic, as to best platform for experimenting with builds...... I know, when I get in the mood to experiment. With my mech I get what I get, build coil, fire, get result, fire get slightly less of a result, ect.. If I were using a Regulated mod I COULD, change the result, and fine tune a build or get that same rersult for every push of the button. With my mech if i build a coil a bit too hot or cold. I'm either stuck with it or redo it. With a regulated you can heatup a cold coil and cool a hot one, with the push of a button. With a regulated mod, you also have are less likely to let the gas out of the batteries, when you make a big mistake. Regulated mods are more IDIOT proof.
