So, of all of you guys and gals out there that are using pod systems on occasion, which one has the tightest draw?
I've actually only ever used the Eleaf iCare2, and that was back when I was running an OG authentic Goon 100% of the time in single-coil mode with the afc wide open on all 3 holes, and to borrow a phrase from another post here, the iCare2 was like trying to suck a watermelon through a straw for me at that time...
After about a week, I picked up a Pico 75w kit with the Melo3 Mini tank, and that was like night and day difference.
The only reason I grabbed the iCare2 was because it was cheap at the local B&M, and my only working mod died on me (P4U IPV8) and I had no backup mod...During that week I started watching YT vids after a long hiatus of not doing so for a while.
With the 1.5mg nic as my normal in a dripper, I had to go up to 9mg in the iCare2 and dilute similar to 60/40 (normally just go 100% VG).
Matt from Suck My Mod on YT has a review on the My.Von Erl and said that the draw is a pretty restricted DTL, but really more for the MTL crowd coming off the analogs.

At this point, anything is going to be looser than the iCare2. The iCare2 has 2 slits on the side that are like 0.5mm tall and 1mm wide, so if one is a hardcore MTL vaper, this might be great, but was painful for me.
I was going to try using it again, and I have an extra, unused pod and several of the 1.1 Ohm coils for it, but I cannot find the two units I had bought. I think it fell behind the desk, where angels fear to tread since I looked everywhere I might have put it and, nope, no joy.
Last weekend I was at another local B&M and had a chance to fondle several pod devices, and the Breeze 2 feels nice in the hand, and I was tempted by the Kanger K-Pin since it is also using the SSOCC coils which I like, the tank section is a standard 510 thread, and it's about 100mm tall, whereas the Breeze 2 is about 50mm tall. Either one was about $30 retail.
I did not buy any of them, but did get that pack of Atlantis 2 coils, which were too tight a draw for me. On one of the coils, I removed the positive pin from the bottom and enlarged the air-hole that is horizontal in the pin to 3mm, as well as the central vertical opening that goes up into the coil, enlarged to 3mm, and with that the air flow was better for me, still restricted, but right at the edge of a decent RDTL draw. Despite claiming to be a 0.7 Ohm coil, it was measure as 0.84 when installed in the BB, and anything higher than 17w I was feeling the start of dry hits when chain vaping. So for me it seems that the Nautilus 2 coils are out...
