I have been spoiled with good MTL tanks, i.e. Nautilus Mini and Triton 2 (1.8 coils), Innokin Zenith (1.6 coil), Isub Apex, S, and V, with regular kanthal 2.0 coils. Then I tried pod kits, first Aspire Breeze 2, but coils were too warm, yet unit was well made, never leaked. Then I tried Aspire Nautilus AIO and Aspire Spryte. Both flooded from the gitgo and never stopped, now trashed. So, tried Artery Pal 2, hoping for the best. First 1.2 coil never stopped flooding and leaked beyond use, so tried first one from box of spares. Leaks less but leaks, and very warm vape. Very airy mtl draw, even with AFC closed. Bad purchases on 3 pods, no more for me, will stick with tanks.
Fortunately I have learned so much from these message boards, and found satisfaction from others' experiences. I'm not a sour grapes kind of guy, and don't expect perfection, but devices have to work, at least partially. I just bought two 80w mods with internal batteries from Vaporfi for $15 each, and they are perfect.
