lots of mods to chose but most dont like overhang and prefer flushest fit to the sides, u best reading product info about each width. The crown3 tank, only using as an example since u have to decide for yourself, is 24.5 so would be silly on a 22mm wide mod.The original Pico is nice and small but that wont even fit w/ battery cap, introduce the Pico 25, am rambling. Gl to u!

Hi ijoy captain pd270 for the box is nice and at a good price, will fit nicely under a crown, my son got it for i think around 35$, as for temp control this box is capable, that being said it is up to you if you use temp control you will need the coils to match ( nichrome or stainles or titanium) if you keep on the setup you are used to will be fine, the box my son have came whit sleeves to fit 18650 batteries, it will use 20700 a bit bigger ones if you like,
As worm1 said it will give you more using time if you dont push it, must agree whit you on the multitudes of stuff avalable, i like to vape at 15w and i did try temp control i did not like it, again this is verry subjective…

Wow never saw those warnings! To say the truht i never check any reviews, i just by and try… i got a pretty big collection,bought 2 captains whitout any problem so far ( only 2 months) then again there is sometimes no chance to take! Ijoy captain wont be in my recomendations any more!
That leaves our friend @Gyreneosaurus whitout recommendation!
My point is most box’s these days will do for standard vapping 15 to 30 wats, all 510 connections and capable of temp control… the rest is price and quality hard to get both…

One of the simpler box mods, but also one of the mods that give you alot of quality for your buck is the voopoo drag. (I’m starting to sound like the drag advocate).
I see them priced at around 45$ for the X007 version ones. You can probably get the carbon ones 10-15$ cheaper. One smart function that can be either good or bad, but usually good when it comes to prebuilt coils is that when you stick a freshly coiled tank on top of the drag it will give you a suggestive wattage to run the mod at, and its fairly conservative in its suggestion too. Example: I put a 0.4 ohm coil on my mod, it will tell me to run it at 42 watt. And it does run at 42 watt, when I change the watt from that point up and down, its to get cooler or warmer vape 
I would stick a sense herakles 3 tank on top of it (think its around 19$), which uses the v-jet coils (which again is around 10$ per 5 pack of coils, but supposedly very reliable coils).
This is probably not the easiest route, but as far as I know and in my honest opinion, its the quality route (in my eyes). And seeing that you already know your way around coils at the 0.5ohm range, this shouldent be a problem

Ok this is just my opinion but ditch the tanks and get a squonk not sure about one or any mods in your price range but definitely a squonk is the go the pulse are in your price range but i would say you need a regulated mod

Spend an extra 20.00 and get this:
Its an awesome tank you can get .4 coils for and the mod… is the da bomb. Or you can get two of these and keep it REALLY simple:
The tank is awesome-ola.
Mausberg, thanks! I already ran across the Voopoo Drag, and it is appealing. The extra info you provided is a big help too - Thank You for all the info.
Maureenie, thanks for all the info and recommendations! I’ll look at the TFV12 kit. Gracias!
No one says anything bad about the Prince Tanks. The coils are true flavor. Best tank ever!
Just passing on my two cents, based off of my own experience. I’ve used to much $ on bad gear, so when I come across stuff that stands out I’ll gladly help out by spreading the word.
Truth be told, if it came down to cost I would advice anyone to get a solid RTA. But most just want a good alternative to cigarettes, without the hassle of coiling, wicking and that sort of finicky dabbling.
Where I’m from the cheapest TVF12 Prince coil costs 7$ for a single coil, not a whole pack, just one coil - that might be a dud, go bad after 3 days of use. It’s not only smok coils that are expencive here, but coils alone are generally pricey, so whenever I find tanks that dont charge a leg and left eye for their coils, and at the same time are pretty darn good, I give em thumbs up 
If you have a vape store close by, I would go there and check out alternatives, maybe even get inspired
WOTOFO Serpent 50W TC Box MOD 2000mAh
I’ve been using the device for over a year now.
Initially, the built-in battery caused me doubts.
But I did not notice any problems. A good, compact device for MTL tank.
