Wow, thanks a ton... that's really great info! I'm considering upgrading my setup- went to a shop for demo of one where the guy drew a mammoth amount of vapor. :D I've definitely been chaining to deal with the nic fits.
Cheers!
Edit: Just had a look at the replacement wicks I have. They are 2 Ohms and says "for Protank & EVOD & Unitank". So I assume my tank is one of those maybe? The metal tank must have been off there- certainly something crazy was happening. Will definitely be interested in upgrading anyway though (interested in any recommendations). I think the demo I saw was a $300 set up.

$300 sounds a bit pricy. While you can easily spend even more on a high-end setup and I have no doubts that it'll be quality material, the thing with e-cigs is that the standards of design and development have improved very fast over the last years, and I expect them to continue to do so. Thus, I'd recommend treating e-cigs like PC components - in other words, the price-value-ratio is rather bad when it comes to the 'enthusiast' setups.
As I said earlier, in regard to battery mods, you should make sure that your device has variable voltage and/or wattage; alternatively, variable wattage modules are available for most mechanical mods. Even the cheap ones go up to 15W nowadays, and while you shouldn't settle for less, I've personally never heard of anyone who actually uses more (except for cloud chasing demonstrations). As for the batteries (industrial cells, like the ones built in an electric toothbrush) that you put in there, it makes sense to spend a bit more because the whole on-off-on-off-on-off regime that they're put through in an e-cig is the opposite of the continuous use that they're designed for. The precise kind of battery you need depends of course on the mod.
What's the best atomizer is a religious topic, and since those are forbidden on TL, I'll just say three things: Most stores will let you try their products, and since taste preferences are highly subjective, you should go, first and foremost, by your gut. However, secondly, don't underestimate the value of convenient use: If you need to disassamble and rebuild the whole device just to refill the tank, replacement parts have to be ordered from the other end of the world, or you need to hire a surgeon to change the coil, that's going to get old really quick. Third, even though the concept of rebuildable atomizers sounds daunting to people who have never tried building their own coil, it's actually much, much easier than it sounds.
On a side note: Have you tried cleaning your metal tank?

I've been into vaping for about 1.5 years now, and i quit smoking completely last december with my current setup.
I have a ELeaf Istick 30W with a nautilus mini tank on top of that, total price of 80 dollar i think.
That is a simple but effective setup that gives a decent amount of flavour and cloud. i even rebuild my own coils (altho that's not too easy on the nautilus)
I also ordered a Magma RDA so i can tinker around with sub-ohm ( 1 ohm or lower ) sel build coils for bigger flavour/cloud hits.
And i disagree with "what is the best atomizer, is a religious topic" we are talking about a product here that either does what you want, or not. Ofcourse personal preference is...well personal but you can still give some good advice if you know what you are talking about.
a 300$ setup should be the best of the best of the best, even if i take a 100% handmade RDA ( Velocity RDA ) and put that on of a expensive box mod ( Vox mod V2 ) it's stil not 300$. An average high end setup would be something like a 80$ box mod and a 50-80$ RDA.
Also you have to know if you are a cloud chase ( not inhaling ) mout to lung smoker or lung inhaler. All give you different combinations of mods/tank/RDA that would give you the best experience

Is it just me or do most people have 0 posts here?
Smells like a marketing scam to me.

oh, just read the last posts.
You could just stop smoking you know. I know its hard not to go back - but once youve made it through the first week(s) it becomes easier and easier.

@Poffel- I did try cleaning it, and it seemed to have helped for a couple hours, but then back to Mt Vapesuvius again lol.
@TechSc2- I've noticed I'm more of a lung inhaler with vaping. Not sure if it is the inefficiency of not getting the nicotine- or if I should up the dosage from what I'm currently using etc. I also seem to like the PG better than the sweeter taste from VG.
