I would consider myself to be a decently experienced vaper after about a year and a half of vaping. Most of my hands on experience has been with mechanical mods, and I've been researching regulated devices as they've become the new popular way to vape.
For all of my research, I'm finding it difficult to put my finger on the best choice for me personally.
in short, what I've gathered so far is this (and in some case I could be mistaken):
I'll likely be fine with a device somewhere in the 50 watt neighborhood. 100-150 seems excessive to me
While the temp control on the dna40 is cool, it seems finicky. Lots of factors to keep it from being accurate. What's more is you have to build with nickel, meaning two rdas is your best bet, which I don't have right now. Would I be doing myself a huge disservice by buying a device with a dna30? Seeing as I likely wouldn't bother with the temp control.
I'd like to have dual 18650s, but it's not a deal breaker. coming off a mech mod I'm sure one regulated 18650 is going to be a huge step up in fixing drop off and battery life issues.
the contacts in regulated devices aren't always copper. does the contact material not matter as much with regulated devices?
Finally, with all of this info, can anyone make a worthwhile suggestion for a mod that might fit me? I'm looking to keep the cost at around 150 or lower. I'm not interested in clones. I've looked into ipv, sigelei, smok, vaporshark, REO, and hana. They all have mods that I like, but nothing has really jumped at me yet.
