I'm thinking about upgrading, I am currently using Vision 2 spinners with mini PT3's. Found a sweet spot I enjoy 1.5ohm at 9.5 to 10 watts (3.7-3.8v). I mainly a mouth to lung hit so not sure what if any rta would be good for me to start with and be similar to the 1.5 coils I've been running. I'll also be upgrading to either istick or mvp20w. Can I use 12mg in a RTA without nic'ing myself. 18mg even in a clearo makes me nic sick. (Switched from chain smoker to chain vaper lol)

thanks

Another vote here for a Kayfun Lite (or Russian 91%), sounds like it would suit you fine. An Expromizer is also a good choice for a similar style tank, and my favorite of the 3.

And 12mg should be fine at the power level you're talking about, it's when you move to lower resistance/higher wattage that you really need to step it down.

A kayfun on an Istick does work very well as long as you don't mind the overhang.

If you can wait a couple of days, the iPV Mini is going to be available this week. About the same size as the Istick but 30 watts, you can use your own 18650,has a floating 510 and it fires down to 0.5 ohms. It uses the SX-130 chip (from YIHI) so it has the memory thing (you can set up 5 different vape wattage). 52$, not bad, in my cart it goes....

Some pics and a review of it.

The Lemo is a great atty also, under 50$ and the taste is awesome. You can do lung inhales OR mouth to lungs. It has a glass tank so you can throw any juice in there, a good deck for rebuilding, pretty nice device.

Its a great RTA for the price, but like most here I've gotta stick with recommending the Kayfun. Mostly because of the OP's stated preference of vape style.

If the OP goes clone, personally I'd advise against ordering from Fasttech and ordering a 'name brand' clone. I got a pair of 1:1 clones from fasttech for parts, but the decks needed the channels drilled out.

Thanks MadSpec, I'm holding off for a week or two. Still haven't decided what to get, istick chip and 510 worries me. Had a Mvp v1 was reliable but didn't care for the button placement. I've seen the ipv's before but dont know anything about them (reliability, accuracy ect). I do like the price though. I will look into it.
