You are in the lower side... ! 9 to 12 is somewhere in the middle, 18+ you are in the higher levels, and 0 to 3 you are in the lower levels !
Hmmmmm.....not what expected. When I hit my mod, I actually get a little light headed, which I ASSumed meant I was getting more nicotine than I was used to. I am struggling to find nicotine levels for Marlboro Ultra Lights in the same % as listed on my eliquid as I kinda want to now.

A nice kit for for a new vaper could be :
A nice MTL kit with proven tank - coils and single battery mod with removable battery, and a nice e-liquid that will reminds you "as close as possible to a cigarette taste" somewhere to 9 - 12% mg nicotine... ! And later, after you tried it for a while... you can make any adjustments that you want - like... !?

Just saying... of course... !?

Everything is relative...

If you are feeling "a little bit of full" (nicotine wise) you should let it down for a while, and vape it later on... !

With the kit that you are using :
It works correctly in the higher watts, so almost everything hits you in a stronger way, and your organism isn't used to it, so you are starting to feel all this things... !

For example on the ather hand :
If you use the same e-liquid on a MTL kit, you will have a much better result and more smooth, especially during the whole day... !

Another example :
With the MTL almost you can vape all day long without any problem (you know like a normal cigarette) ! But with your kit it's quite difficult to do it all day long, you have to make longer breaks, or you will end up with a headache from another planet in the end of the day... !
I think that you can get... what im trying to say... !?

As to the ohm rating if you’re trying to mtl a sub ohm coil that could do it. The DL attys usually have wide mouthpieces while the mtl attys have ones more the size of a cigarette. Some have both, in which case you want to use the small mouth piece and whatever cartridge is meant for mtl. It will likely be 1 ohm or more.

As i was trying to say above...

A nice MTL kit, with a nice (cigarette like) e-liquid around the 12%mg nicotine, should fit you better "in the long run" for all day long use - regular use... !
And then if you want - need it sometimes (with your coffee - drink, or after your food, or whatever you feel that you need it)... you can use your kit for a while so you can feel it a little bit stronger - better... and your are good to go... !

(Don't forget :
You can't duplicate exactly the regular cigarette, but you can make it close enough so you don't need it any more... !)

And again,
all these are just my personal opinion !

Would a Russian cut it for him or is it too wimpy? The thing doesn’t output a ton of vapor like newer stuff. The only advantage it has is that it’s free.

The Russian was like the second “good” RDTA. 2012 maybe. Not sure. Big, heavy, and a tiny single coil and chamber. Back when coils were a LOT smaller than they are now. It’s a bit like a 1930’s automobile. Back when they were trying to make them fast enough for people. Doesn’t use a lot of wattage. It was originally designed for things like egos. Before DL was even a thing. Probably run it at 10w or under. I’ve also got a clone derringer which is a lot smaller and has a lot more oomph, but I kinda want to keep it. On the fence about that one. It’s an RDA that I never drill squonked though. I’ve also got a clone type V, but I never got it working right so it may be total junk.

Ah yeah, now i got it...

Yeah was one of the best high end atomizers back in the day... !

I never had one, and probably it's quite difficult to find one.... !? Or probably a cl*ne... !?

But there are some nice and quite inexpensive mtl tanks, with pre-made coil, or even rebuildtables tanks (but to make your own coils isn't for everybody, it's more for the "hobby side" of vaping) ! It depends on what is someone wants to... !?

I suspect they’re unobtanium these days. I bought a lot of clones once upon a time. My atty shelf looks like a history of vaping. I got a clone palomino too but he won’t want that. That was the first DL RDA I know of. Had a weird proprietary mouthpiece that screwed in. If these were cars they’d be Nashes or Auburns. Stuff that doesn’t exist anymore. They only made clones of nice stuff. The oddest thing I got is a clone of a clone pump squonk atty that developed a good reputation at one time. it’s an RDA with a tank on top and you push down the top to squonk it. That one would work too, but I don’t want to get rid of it. It’s too weird.

I’d still be using my derringer if I drill squonked it. I just do squonks now. It looks possible. My fab fave is a steamcrave aromamizer plus. Huge thing. They actually still sell them but they don’t post the price (which was $45 when I last asked) and you have to wait until they have enough orders to do a run. That thing will vape like the best modern DL attys except with single wire hand wraps and if you wick it right it doesn’t leak. Doing that is a bit non standard though so not everyone likes them.

I don't know - remember that ones !

My first was the Ovale ego-c dual kit
latter the Aspire C5 BVC Clearomizer
latter the ELeaf I-Stick 40 little mod
latter the Joyetech Evic mini
and then i didn't like the pre-made coils, so mostly i use MTL RTAs and a few RDAs !
The weird one? It wasn’t widely known or available. Also it was merely OK for its time. It didn’t have much on RDTAs of the period that DIDN’T need to be squonked. It’s definitely an oddball though. Might have been a clone of a fake or something. There was two “Chinese back room” removals though. I never used it much. It was a “wow that’s hilarious” so I got it working and that was that. Doubt I refilled it more than 3 times. It was mtl though and I’ve still got it.
I’ve got some other stuff too like all 3 kinds of avacado (one of them is good, the other two suck) they’re all DL though. Those are also all real. Another rarity is this thing from Russia that wicks upside down. It acts a lot like a more reasonably sized aromamizer plus when you get it going right and it’s mtl, but it’s such a PITA to wick I left it out. That one is also real. People roundly hated it (though I don’t) and no one ever made a clone of it.

Now I gotta hit eBay and see if someone is still selling Russian clones. A real Russian use to cost like a hundred bucks or something. Bah. Only one atty and it’s an RDA. Lots of coils and winding jigs though. Maybe anything too vape got kicked off of eBay. Checking aliexpress…

Yeah thats true, they were making a lot of styles - types, some of them was looking legit and was working pretty good , some other needed super skills to work properly, some other they never worked... etc... !
But from one point and later almost everything was working pretty good, it was very rare to find a bad or really bad product that didn't work quite good on high ends either on more cheap ones... ! Plus with the varieties of the products you could find almost anything you want to... !
