Need some help and advice picking a budget device.

If you want a very good MTL Pod System that uses replaceable coils that last for weeks not days look into the Freemax Onnix 2 , flavor is great and your able to disarm the fire button for a auto-draw only vape. If you care to check out my review of it here's the link.

FREEMAX ONNIX 2 POD KIT

I'm throwing another one into the mix. I quit smoking using an Innokin t18 pen kit, and later the t22 kit. It was extremely reliable, never leaked, the coils lasted and it had great flavour.

Most importantly it had the cigarette-style draw I wanted. Even the mouthpiece was the size of a cigarette filter.

Depending on where you like, there's a few varieties:

The original t18 kit:
1000mah
2.5ml tank
Endura T18 - Product | INNOKIN®

The T18II Mini kit:
1000mah
2ml tank
T18II Mini - Product | INNOKIN®

The T18II kit:
1300mah
2.5ml tank
T18II - Product | INNOKIN®

The newest T18X kit:
1000mah
2.5ml tank
Endura T18X - Vape Kit | INNOKIN®

Id like to add these two considerations to my list as well. Along with the sceptre MTL. They are both in my price range.

This really all comes down to coil lifetime between these devices, if they are all considered good. If the Freemax coils have a huge difference in lifetime, ill spend a tad more on a pack. It would just have to be comparable to the Sceptres coil prices as far as cost/lifetime ratio goes. 6$ vs 12$ for a pack, if the 12$ ones last more than double, I can get behind that.

The Freemax, and the Sceptre MTL are really what im looking most closely at. The T18 seems like an okay choice as well, but unless it has some large upside in comparison to the others, im leaning more towards choosing between those two with some help.

Also, Happy Holidays everyone!

I actually wasnt expecting so many great responses from this thread, so I just checked back in today. I'd like to share what my own research has led me to and would love to hear some opinions.

Firstly, what ive been leaning towards most the Innokin Sceptre MTL. At 20-21$ its right in my price range. Coils are often 6$ for a pack of 5. Which for me, is perfect, even if they last a week apiece.

Secondly, what I was considering most before looking at the Sceptre.. The Geekvape Wenax Stylus. It can be had for roughly 16$ which is cheaper up front, but sadly the coils are about 4-5$ more per 5 pack.

If I can hear good things about the Sceptre MTL, it seems to be a great device for my price range. Coils are around the price range for a 5 pack id like. Everything as far as price/budget goes is perfect.

Thank you to all the responses. Mostly the ones who kept my budget in mind. I dont feel im asking for too much. If the Sceptre for isntance has a decent MTL draw, and doesnt leak. Its exactly what i asked for. So I dont feel im out of line asking for a 20-25$ device for what i want which is just cheaper coils, mtl draw, no leaks.

Also id like to address the frequent comment of ''stop smoking and save''. I invested in a 50$ rolling machine about 3 years ago. When buying incredibly cheap tobacco and filters, my cigaretees cost next to nothing. The people in my house smoke as well, so they will exist whether or not I smoke or not. So the concept is a good one, just doesnt apply to me personally. This is what I have to spend, and I dont feel what im asking for is crazy for my budget. I dont need perfection in my desires.

Also thank you listopencil for checking out all these batteries for me. If its cheap enough im still considering it, but I think if the Sceptre MTL is a decent device im gonna go that route for now. After seeing all the great responses, ill be checking in soon after this response. Didnt expect this at all. Thanks!

Going to look more deeply at some of the recommendations at my price point as well that were mentioned here to see if something looks comparable to the Sceptre.

I checked out the Innokin Sceptre MTL. It looks like a decent device to me, and I've always gotten quality products from Innokin. I stay away from pod systems (also store bought coils) but if that's the direction you want to go in then this looks like a really good choice for you because you can just change out the coils instead of the whole pod. Also, a 1400 mAh battery with a 3.0 ml capacity tank should last you all day if you MTL. I haven't tried either device but just going off of the specs I'd pick the Sceptre over the Wenax for the longer battery life and larger capacity tank, and my personal history of having good luck with Innokin devices that use built-in batteries.

Finally got the Innokin T18 & T22 and matched them with the right e-liquid for me . . . Took about 2 months to finally become a full time vapor using them. . . Still using them and they are still my go to every day Mods . . . Just Sayin ' . . .

BTW: There are many in depth reviews about the Innokin T18 & T20 all over ECF too . . .

During my first months here, I still remember singing the praises of the T18 with you, in the Innokin Owners Group and the Innokin sub-forum. When I later saw that you'd finally got that monkey off your back, and were a full-time vaper - it made my week
