Hey there, and congrats on the vaping switch!
I see the desire to "move up" as a totally good thing. Anything that gets you off the stinkies is a good thing!
Strictly sticking to your budget, you can go with:
Sigelei Stainless V3 ZMAX Telescope Variable Power (adjustable wattage) VV APV
Suitable(damn near identical) solutions include the VAMO or any other Sigelei "MAX" type device. Don't forget to pick up a couple batteries and a charger from the same site. Recommended as the safest/best batteries are AW IMR(18650 size for mods mentioned in this post), but you can get EFEST IMR 18650 batteries if you want to save a couple bucks and maybe trade out a minute amount of performance/battery life. Trustfire chargers are pretty much a good standard buy for a charger, and are economical to boot. Estimated cost with this setup is around $90-105, depending.
NOTE: I provided a link to an online store that I prefer to do business from. If you prefer to hunt for the best price on your own, a search for the Sigelei Z-Max or VAMO would be just as good. The devices are essentially the same except for aesthetics, so feel free to shop around.
Now, vapor production and throat hit are pretty largely dependent on a couple components of your juice that you're vaping. For more vapor, go for more VG in your liquids, but be warned that it may must flavor and taste sweet. That might not be something you're looking for in all your e-liquids.
For more throat hit, try liquids with a higher PG blend. This will also enhance flavor delivery to a point. For a solid balance, I use either 50/50 PG/VG or 60/40 PG/VG liquids. Keep in mind that high nicotine levels in juice (20mg and higher) will produce much more throat hit, but may induce a "peppery" taste to your e-liquids.
Best of luck finding something, and feel free to send me a PM if you require a little more help!
