Thank you very much for the generous offer. After reading what you all have said as well as doing more research based on what you all have said, I am afraid the MOD I bought is not what I really need. I BELIEVE I need the sensation of smoking more so than the nicotine.....(believe), so I am leaning towards the MTL style. Now I understand this is a public site and advertising is more than likely prohibited, but is it OK for you all to recommend brands that you have trusted in the past?
One of the hallmarks of MTL is comparatively low wattage. If you’re searching for a mod that does mtl well a mod that goes down to 1 watt, ideally with fractions is preferable. It can be done with a mod that goes down to 5 without fractions, but it’s not ideal.
Such a mod would be, as an example of an absolute minimum would be the vandyvape pulse2. A mod I bought recently, which you still may not want as it’s a squonk but does go down to the minimum. A mod that does go down to 1 watt with fractions is the eleaf pico squeeze 2, also a squonk, which would likely be hard to get anyway. I bought mine new recently, but I had to order it direct from eleaf and they were almost out of stock. The only color they had left was purple, and it wasn’t even on their website. Eleaf may have something that isn’t though. The only reason I was able to get it is someone here dropped a link. One that may or may not amuse you would be some sort of provari. The things haven’t been made for a long time and we’re at one point wildly expensive. Waaay over $100. They might be really cheap now though. One worry there is while iirc they used 18650s there were several models and some may require batteries that aren’t made any longer (I am not one of the proverotti but some here are and will know a lot more) my memory is they only went up to 15w. A provari and that Russian would make you look like a well heeled old schooler, as long as no one knew the Russian was a clone. (Which is partially what the old clones were for, so afaik it’s visually identical minus any logos or serial numbers)
There might even be some people here still running that rig. The provari is a stick mod and isn’t very large so it would be a bit like carrying a full sized cigar tube. Anything will work though if it fits the wattage requirements though. It’s just a thought. For all I know those things are still wildly expensive or no longer safe or something, and not something to go near unless you’ve already got one. I did hear about one person being killed by one when the battery exploded, (the fault of the battery not the mod afaik) but little else. Some mods only come as kits which would be a mod and some tank. If one is faced with that you have to buy the atty you want seperately and then just store (or sell or give away) the tank. I had at least one such tank which I recently gave to someone. It was even a decent one, for a coil cartridge tank.
