I have a few iSub G tanks (by Innokin) that I really like. I also use high VG, usually 80% to 85% and the only time I have a problem is if I'm sitting and chain-vaping. I sometimes get a burnt hit when I do that, so I've started putting a little distilled water in my juices (I make my own, but you can do this with store-bought also). I've played with percentages all the way up to 10% distilled water, and have found that 3% usually works fine, with a juice that's 85% VG. It doesn't make it pop or crackle, but it's just thin enough to wick well with those coils and wicks.
I also reuse my old atomizers. I pull the old wick out with tweezers, rinse the coil, then blow on it or set it aside to (mostly) dry, then screw it onto a mod set to about 10 watts and pulse-fire it (5 to 8 seconds each time, until it glows) until the crud stops vaporizing off of it and it glows cleanly. Then I take a twist of new wicking, stick it through the coil, twisting it like I'm screwing it into the coil until it starts coming out the far side, then grab and tug back and forth to "settle" it in there, clip the ends off with nail clippers, and it's like new again. I've been using the same 10 atomizers this way for the last 3 to 4 months, maybe even longer. I think it was around August or September when I found out I could clean and re-wick these. So it's CHEAP! LOL!
I love these tanks, and these coils because I can refresh them every day if I need to, and they haven't cost me a penny to run in all these months, except for the wicking, which I bought a HUGE box of for cheap, and the juice, and I make my own so that's not expensive, either. And even though technically, I'm "sub-ohming" with these .5 ohm coils, I usually run them at 25 to 30 watts, so it's a mild vape. I get good flavor from them that way, and it's not so hot that I'm in danger of burning my wick if I overindulge a bit.
(I'm old, too, by the way, so I get where you're coming from.
