New here from Texas, not really new to vaping but been realizing I might have just been doing it the way I don't prefer the whole time. Been using box mods for a while like the smok gpriv and my latest one, the vaporesso polar just .... the bed. Went and picked up just a little temp pod one while I browse around for a new one and why is it so much more satisfying? Been smoking these big DTL style ones for a while and it seems like the couple times I've had to get one of these dumpy little temp ones they're oddly more satisfying. TL;DR version at the end.
Things I've realized..
1. I prefer a tight draw that simulates as close to the feel of a cigarette as possible.
2. I find huge clouds obnoxious both in that they give me coughing fits and when I want to hang with people or watch a movie/show I want to take a drag and not look like i just set the house on fire.
3. I've never ONCE used the million tweaks and features on those digital screens, aside from changing the voltage and that's just I've tried different coils ironically trying to get the low-cloud cigarette like feel and struggling.
4. I still have plenty of bottles of liquid here and I would greatly prefer something with easy refill options as I can mix flavors and easily pick my nicotine levels, etc.
5. Portability/form factor is a lesser factor to me. Having a smaller pen form factor is a bonus, but 95% of the time I vape is at home or in a relaxed setting where i don't have to carry it in my pocket. I absolutely don't care if its designed to look like a real cigarette with light up tip gimmicks or whatnot, as long as it hits good.
6. Battery life isn't a huge issue for me again for the same reason above, vast majority of time when I'm vaping is when i have easy access to a charger/power outlet.
So yeah, tl;dr looking for a high quality product of something with a tight cigarette-like draw, low cloud production, no LED with a billion settings menus, and refillable.
