Novice vaper needing new build advice

[Megaderp32]

Hey everyone, I've got some questions about what my next build should be. I'm currently using an Aspire CF Mod with a Quad-Flex RDTA, dual-coil deck at 0.5 ohms, vaping at 35 watts on a high-drain LG 18650 35A 3000mAh. This build is great, I get dense clouds and awesome flavor (especially compared to my old 5ml Nautilus) but my battery life is atrocious and I'm looking to upgrade to something a little more variable since the Aspire CF can't push more than 1.0 ohms. I've been looking at some box mods and I'll list them off below but what I'm looking for is VW/VV capped off around 75-100w and decent battery life (something that lasts all day if I don't vape heavily). I'm using around 4-6ml a day if I vape heavily but my mod's battery life doesn't support that consistently. I know RDAs tend to draw a lot more power, especially on low-ohm builds but I've got other tanks that my CF Mod can't even use due to it's low resistance rating.

So these are some of the box mods I'm considering:

Sigelei 75w TC
Kanger KBOX 160w TC
Koopor Mini 60w TC
Smok X Cube Mini 75w TC
Eleaf iStick 100w TC firmware upgradeable

If you guys have any suggestions as to what I should be upgrading to with my needs, I would appreciate it highly. Post your own builds, let me know what's worked for you and let me know what you think of my build right now. I would also like to clear up, if anyone knows, what the advantages of Single vs. Dual 18650s in box mods are? Thanks a lot!

The Smok Alien 220 isn't a 100 watt mod however you don't have to turn it up beyond 100 watts if you don't want to.
Battery life is good.
I'll have to return to post info on the rest of your questions, grandson (2 years old) decided NOW is the time to play and he needs my help in crashing his cars and throwing building blocks around the house.

If I tell you that dual battery mods CAN provide more battery life, 900 others will follow that with 56 reasons as to why they feel that is not correct.
So I'm not even going to try to answer that question.
I run many different setups at any given time, all dual 18650 by personal choice.
(except my triple 18650s and dual 26650)
Mostly tanks but also using;
Limitless RDTA Plus using stapled staggered .... hell I don't know, just got into building and have way too much shit still lying on my desk from building about 12 different setups to see how I felt about it all.
Limitless XL so far just using the ones that came in the box (just got it)
Smok Minos with the little build desk it came with using dual claptons combined at .3ohm.
As I said, mostly tanks.
Target, Melo III, Cerakoat, Cleito, Arctic V8, Freemax Starre Pro, Tobeco Super Tank (original) Sense Herakles, Sense Herakles Plus, Sense Herakles RTA-2, Smok TFV4, Smok TFV4 Micro, Smok TFV8, Smok TFV8 Baby, Ijoy Goodger........and a handful more.
The TFV8 would be the biggest battery drain monster.
Any of the rest no matter how I set them up I can get a full day out of IF it is a work day.
Any with low resistance and high wattage will naturally drain faster than high resistance with low wattage.
As I posted in another thread, my choice mods would be;
Smok Alien220
Smok H-Priv
Smok X Cube Ultra
Smok R200
Hohm Wrecker G2
By NO means am I implying there is nothing better out there.
They are just MY picks.
Since you are currently using a small sized mod, I recommended the Alien 220.
Once the bugs are worked out of the IPV6 maybe that'd be a good choice too but I haven't seen where ALL issues have been resolved or if they even intend to.
Of the mods listed, I own then and have not had a single issue with them.
Hope at least some of that helps at least a little.

My biggest problem would have to be my battery life and the fact that my mod will push voltage according to coil resistance, so I can't control any of the output. My dripper is a .4 ohm build which draws a lot of power but the mod itself can't push anything past 1.0, so I'm stuck with high-consumption, low-ohm builds. This isn't a bad thing because the vape is great but with my current mod, it doesn't last long and it becomes inconsistent as the battery drains. I've been looking at the KBOX 160w TC Mod for a dual 18650 and that looks really nice though I've read that it has issues with TC and the buttons being cheap. If I can't get a mod that has good battery life with a dripper, then I would like something that can use my 1.8 ohm Naut-X coil.

Any of the mods I listed will run your setup just fine with great battery life.
(at least in comparison to what you're running now)

Most of the dual 18650 mods will have good battery life. Like @Paratech, I can get a day out of a set of batteries if it's a work day. If I'm vaping a lot I might have to switch to a fresh set. The Hohmwrecker G2 is a great device, but it's looks aren't for everybody.

I use mainly rdas these days, used to use tanks exclusively. I try to keep my builds around .20 to .80 depending on the mod I'm using. The .20 ohm coil taxes single battery devices pretty heavily, but .80 works great. Look into the Pioneer4you IPV5. It's a great mod that is pretty tough. Tried and true.
