If you're asking about cleanest, hard hitting, high power direct dripping. Something like a 3.0ohm Cisco 306 @ 5.5v gives about 10.1 watts. At 6.0v you get a whopping 12 watts. Truth be told though, majority of folks find their "sweet spot" between 6-10 watts (I really like ~8 watts). You can use a web calculator (Ohm's Law Calculator), just put in your atty/carto resistance and the voltage and it'll tell you the power.
Sounds like that is probably something like I am looking for .
Basically I am not using anything like you are talking about , I am a very experienced and heavy real cigarette smoker and I got very sick recently could hardly breathe and bought some E Cigs at the drugstore and since got well and started breathing better than I have in years ,
I could not stick with it though all the time not enough kick , not enough nicotine so I smoke E- cigs part of the day
I see , yes very strong that is what I am thinking , I took an electronics course once , I remember ohm’s law but I never thought I would use it for anything like this.
You can also adjust your nicotine level in the juice that gets vaped, but you'll need hardware that lets you put your own stuff in basically. Some people have gone as high as at least 24mg strength. That's measured as a percentage of nicotine per liquid. Do some reading on here and you'll find all kinds of suggestions on how to get more strength in your vape for sure.
it works great with LR attys on lower voltage batts too. I have a set of 3.7volt fat batts that hit really nicely with a 1.5ohm IKV510 (~9 watts power). Only thing to remember with LR attys or cartos is you'll kill your battery if it's not big enough (you really want a 650mAh or bigger - not a stick batt) and if you run them with too high voltage (if you have VV) you'll pop the coil. Cool part about higher voltage (on VV) with higher resistance attys is that you can really fine tune as each 0.1 voltage change is only .2 power change (vs. 0.4 power change with LR@1.5ohms)
If your question is what device will give you a lot of vapor, good thoat hit and help you get of cigarettes, and if you have only tried drugstore devices up to now, so in other words a vaping newbie?
Well IMO, the answer is easy. Three things.
1. Good strong eliquid. 24mg at least or up to 36mg nicotine.
2. Batteries I would recommend the eGo Twist. (It has variable voltage and you can crank up the voltage by turning a dial).
3. Low Resistance cartomizers or Vision Stardust (Ce4).
And of course a charger
Twist 650 mAh and Stardust LR (no. 5 in the lineup from left)

My apologies , I just now realized I never actually answered your question.
Krave disposables and then I got 21st Century refills and battery and a battery charger

Yes a a vaping newbie .
Your answer is very straightforward and easy to get , thanks !!
You should probably be trying to get more vapor, if you have a small cigarette clone model and it isn't doing the job.
We have a saying: "large clouds of thick, rich, creamy vapor" - it's probably what you should be aiming for. Basically that is a function of the device's size, as you need a bigger battery to get max performance. It's simple, here are the size groupings:
Mini - these are cigarette clones. The 510 and KR808 are common models, the thread type is the main difference.
Suits newcomers, light smokers, social smokers.
These are mostly auto models.
Minimum number of batteries for light use: 3
Minimum number of batteries for normal use: 5
Mid-size - these are more of a cigar size. The eGo, Riva, Tornado and Kgo are popular. These are the #1 ecig now as they are most popular, probably because they are midway between the minis and APVs in most respects.
These are mostly manual models.
They produce about double the vapor of a mini.
Minimum number of batteries for light use: 2
Minimum number of batteries for normal use: 3 (900mAh or bigger)
APV - advanced personal vaporizers or 'mods' have bigger, replaceable batteries. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, mostly tubes (like a small flashlight) or boxes (like a packet of cigs). The additional functions and features they offer are too numerous to list, but can include variable voltage and integral liquid feed.
They are all manual models.
They produce around three or four times the vapor of a mini.
Depending on battery size, they can last from 4 hours to 2 days.
Minimum number of batteries: 2 sets
Each type has its pros and cons, there is no universal favorite as everyone wants something different from their ecig.
Added the batteries needed, seemed like a good idea

If you get a Twist, especially the little 650mah model, make sure you keep your Kraves around. You're going to need them every 3 or 4 hours while your Twist is charging.
What all the Twist fans keep forgetting to tell newbies is that the Twist is ONE battery. All these Twist fans have other e-cigs to use while their Twists charge up.
See that picture of all those PVs. That person has somethign else to use while the big little Twist is charging. Notice how big that 650mah Twist is, compared to the pink one on the far left. That pink one is 900-1000mah. The Twist is bigger, even though it has 35% less capacity. If there was a 1000mah Twist in that lineup, it would dwarf any of the others. The 1000mah Twist is longer than a Lavatube with a 2000mah battery, and only slightly smaller in diameter.
It's not an accident that the eGo, kGo and the other sealed batteries come in kits with 2 batteries. Unless you are the very lightest of "social" smokers, getting an e-cig with one battery is just plain dumb. So, you'll need 2 Twists, or you'll at least spend twice as much money than what you think a Twist is going to cost you.
So, you have to think of what you could get that costs the same as 2 Twists, before you decide it's such a good deal.
It's not a bad VV e-cig, although it is underpowered and there are technical reasons you can't expect a very long life from the 650mah version. But it's a terrible only PV. You need more than a backup. You need a backup to use a few times every day.
And, if you regularly use it at more than 4 volts, you can expect it to be dead in 4-6 months. That's Joye's estimate of the lifespand for a 650mah eGo and it's the same battery, except that the eGo is used at a lower 3.4V and will last longer at that lower voltage.

Haha. Sorry. I was thinking the pic was on the previous page and was too lazy to go back to it..
Hopefully, "that person" is the worst thing you ever get called.
