Custom Can Mod seeking Mosfet

Heya ladies and gentlemen!
I am new member at Vaping Underground and new vaper as well (about 6 vaping months).
I use to tinker with electronics for quite some time so at last I decide to build my own Mod.

The mod is VV/VW and I will try to make it work with TC the next days-weeks. I use bluetooth for V/W regulation cause I really hate buttons.

I use a 5000mAh one cell lipo battery to power it (in order to keep things simple) and a 5V microprocessor for the control (PWM). This means that the mod cannot give more than 3.6-4.2V but I don't think I will need it with TC. Except that I am a conservative vaper and vape at about 10W so I don't think I will need more power eitherway!

My main problem is the mosfet selection! (as always..)
Although I wont need more than 30W for TC I would like to use a mosfet that can handle at least 80W. I have no previous experience with that high currents so I am not sure what I have to be careful of with the mosfet selection at that low voltage. Can a standard logic level mosfet work with 3.6V Drain-Source voltage?
Moreover I am looking for an easy to use package(Through hole or large SMD packages. QFN packages will make my life miserable!)
Till now I am using a mosfet I stripped from my broken eVic-VT mod, soldered to a piece of Perf Board, but I couldn't read the part num on top so I dont know what I am using. I just know it works with "conservative" vaping! (Perf board looks awful amongst my fabulous copper wires :p )

Do you have anything to propose?

I attach some photos of my semi-finished, semi-steampunk, splatter electronics mod!12067101_10154284171768642_1599022191_n.jpg 12092309_10154284171368642_2038827554_n.jpg 12092523_10154284170983642_239338378_n.jpg

I'm confused. You said you use Bluetooth for v/w control because you hate buttons. Don't you have to push buttons on the Bluetooth control bar?
 
I hate the hardware part of buttons. I am unable to solder a button that looks good and wont fell off two days later. That's why I use bluetooth and software buttons.
The answer in my question seems to be all over the forum! IRLB3034PBF seems a great mosfet. I suppose I had to read a little longer before posting.
Anyway temperature control is ready, although it needs a little more calibration, so I just have to wait for the mosfets to arrive in order to see them in action
