need help choosing a device

[baderw]

Hey guys! i want to buy a cape kit and i have done a lot of research but need some advice on my first device (i will be using 0 mg e-liquid). i was thinking about getting the target pm80 but i don’t want to deal with any leaking issues that could potentially ruin my device so i had my eyes on the aegis max (specially because of that leak proof tank and i can easily find coils for it unlike other tanks), but now i saw a video about the new smok scar p3/p5 and the form factor is a big plus for me. So what device do you recommend to be used as my main device with no intentions of upgrading anytime soon?

Ps: i also checked the aegis boost plus but maybe 40 watts won’t be enough in the long run and i don’ want to buy a new device just because of that.

If you're in the US you may want to wait until Thurs to see what's still available for purchase. Most coils will likely disappear.

If you're not in the US, pick what you think you'll like.

I think the first thing you need to decide on is if you want a mod/tank setup or a pod system.

Personally I will pick eagis over smok. They are very durable.

I'd take the aegis, as others have said... But if you're in the USofA, and just vaping 0nic as a hobby, you may want to find a cheaper one, as vaping is about to get expensive.

Welcome aboard! Please tell us more about yourself. Where are you located? In the States? There are many great setups for beginners. Did you look at Innokin Sceptre?

i saw a video about the new smok scar p3/p5 and the form factor is a big plus for me

I would probably try out the SMOK P3

The form factor is almost identical to the PM80 but with larger tank

The fact that they are saying its waterproof is a big plus, as it looks like someone has addressed the problem of liquid entering the mod and frying the circuit board.

I use a PM80 and wouldn't recommend, unless you want to try sealing the top plate yourself (like i have). So many users have had issue with liquid leaking into the mod.
Its not leaky tanks, the tanks don't leak. Its vape condensation that naturally occurs when vaping.
A lot of pods seem to have this issue due to the tank fitting inside the mod as opposed to sitting on top.

Looks like at least one manufacturer is admitting its a problem that needs to be fixed if pods kits are to continue to grow in popularity.
