you are not alone. Alot of stuff coming out nowadays seems to cater to the cloudz community. Meaning its all about blowing big clouds, O tricks, and looking cool. Its not as much about quitting smoking like it used to be.
With that said alot of the stuff you have is the most popular stuff on the market and it caters to that cloudz community IMHO.
I stopped using tanks with premade ocils years ago, but used them for years as well. I havent smoked in almost 8 years now.
In terms of juices....
OMG this is the biggest pain in the ass for us.
Making your own can be rewarding and is a million times cheaper. my juice costs me 2-7 cents a ml.
But you know how much time and money it took to get the flavors i wanted and were good enough to stop buying commercial juice??? About $100. And about 2 weeks of experimenting and researching.
I whole heartedly recommend making your own juice, but it is a process as well and can be equally as frustrating.
The trick is to find a single flavor profile you like
for me it was peach. SO that was easy enough to get started. try 5 or 6 different brands of peach flavoring, try the recommend percentages. try different percentages. try mixing them. Had about 12 bottles of stuff I didnt like and 1 that worked. Then I could build from there.
I would highly look into finding a store somewhere near you, that lets you taste test their flavors, and spend a bunch of time there oned ay trying everything you can as often as you can. try and find 3 flavors. Ask them if they can mix it with some extra flavor for you, many stores whole mix their own are willing to do this IME.
Now how to treat your coils to get more flavor and longer life.
Rule #1 dark juices destroy coils fast
so tobaccos, custards chocolate etc
the clearer the juice the more life you get out of a premade coil
rule 2
dont use multiple flavors on the same coil
this just gunks up the cotton.
because of how tight that cotton is usually packed in there you will never get rid of all of flavor 1 and it will always be effecting flavor 2
rule 3
you dont need fancy coils in your tank to get flavor
ALot of people use coils that work in the 30-60w range for flavor not 70-150w
Now Im not familiar with the arco but I see 3 coils for it
go with the T6 it is a dual parrallel coil and should work great in teh 40-60w range
for the crown 3 the .5 coils should work well also in that range
for the beast tanks go with a dual coil thats .4-.6 in range
Any coil that is 3+ coils is more clouds then flavor IMHO
Remember if it says parallel that means 2 coils
so a triple parallel is actually 6 coils
rule 4 more watts doesnt = more flavor
many of these coils sold today have ridiculous wattage ranges, both too high and too low.
with any coil (excpet MTL which is not what you are doing) you start low say 20 watts, then go up n 5 watt increments till you find something you dont like and go back
then you can play around in 1 watt increments to fine tune
30-60watts is the average range in my experience for many people who want flavor over clouds, but some people like it even lower or a bit higher
rule 5 prep the coil
these coils are not that great but we can do one thing to help. Before you do anything with it, take a needle or pin and poke a bunch of holes through the cotton. this lets juice flow better through it and to the coil
also never start a coil at high wattages >40ishW this can often burn the layer of cotton right next to the coil because it was not saturated enough and juice flow wasnt strong enough to keep that inner layer moist. SO start low for a few minutes and work up to your ideal wattage on a new coil
if any of the cotton gets even singed, you lose flavor or get bad flavor
rule 6
never let the tank go dry. This will lead to burning cotton and you are right back to bad flavor
always refill sooner then you think
rule 7
you are going to get bad coils from time to time
I could use a coil for weeks, then replace it and get one that lasted a few days...these are mass manufactured low QC products. You will get bad ones...hence Why it is cheaper to get an RDA or RTA and make your own coils. If you really want to try this route. Pick up something like a griffin 25 or griffin aio
goto a place like advancedvapesupplies.com

grab the 10 pack of clapton coils in 28/36 ask for 3mm and 7 wraps
that will give you about .48 ohms in a dual coil build
all you have to do is install those on the deck, wick, and add juice
grab some cotton there as well or from your local vape shop, watch videos on the exact RTA you bought and you can get started that way
That combo in a griffin 25 or aio should give you great flavor in the 50 watt area
the coils can last you months, but you will rewick maybe ever day to every couple weeks depending on your use and juice
ok Im done babbling now hope this helps
