Picked up a Serpent SMM today. Lovely little thing. So easy to build on and the flavour is very good. Whistles a bit but I can live with that.

Same. I'm only interested in single coil tanks now. Less faff, the vape is as good, and needs less power so my batteries last longer. I'm usually building for 0.4 to 0.5 Ohms these days which I run at 50 to 70W depending on the juice.
0.5 Ohm and 50W in my Serpent SMM right now. That's with Red Astaire.
It's a little restricted for sure. It's not a wide-open cloud chucker.
So, as you use a Rose V2 I'm guessing you are a mouth-to-lung vaper. There's nothing wrong with the Rose so I'd keep it if I were you. The Innokin iSub range are sub-ohm direct-lung tanks so would be quite a change.
If I were you I'd swap the mech for a good, modern box-mod and stick with the Rose for now and maybe try some more tanks as you move forward.
For a box mod and if you want low-ish cost then you can't go wrong with a Smoant Charon (The TC version). Dual batteries, powerful, does TC, very well build, and cheap.
If you want to spend a bit more and really get in to TC curves etc then grab something with a DNA board in it. DNA75C if you don't think you'll go over 75W and want a cool colour screen, DNA250 if you want the most powerful thing you can get.
On the mech with a fully charged battery you will be at 12.6W but in reality the voltage will have sagged a bit so you're probably more like 11W. So, start from there and see how you get on.
If you want a good, cheap, direct-lung tank then grab a Serpent Mini SMM. Super easy to build on with fantastic flavour. I run mine at 0.5 Ohms and 45W for good clouds and excellent flavour.
What nic strength do you use? I'm guessing a 12mg in the Rose at that resistance. If you go to a full direct-lung tank and sub-ohm you'll want to drop that to 3mg or even 1.5mg.
If you want something that holds more juice then check out the Obs Engine Nano. It holds 5.3ml but is extremely easy to fill with a little flip-up fill hole. It's a single coil tank that's about the simplest to build on I've even used. I have two of them and while the flavour isn't as good as the Serpent, the additional juice capacity comes in useful. Plus it has the added bonus in that it WILL NOT leak no matter how you leave your mod.
I'm still using tanks that use the Atlantis coils so I'm probably not the best person to ask about them. They work for me and coils are plentiful and cheap though.
SS316L 26/32 clapton wire from Fast Tech. I build with a 3mm ID, 6 wraps, for 0.5 Ohms.
Make sure you cut your wicks diagonal after fluffing with the SMM. See how Todd does his build in his review of the tank here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtL3CmhqeFE
Before I followed that advice I thought the flavour wasn't great. Building like that and it's great.

I do, yes.
I see Digiflavor have released the Siren 2. Been looking forward to this one for a long time. The original Siren is a fantastic MTL tank with a couple of shortcomings: 1 the 510 pin is very long and so it doesn't fit flush with most mods. 2 you couldn't cut the airflow down small enough without getting the ring on a sort of half hole. It looks like they've listened and the new one looks great.
I'll be bagging a couple of them as soon as I can.

I like the look of that. Interesting airflow design with it hitting the coil from both the bottom and the side.
Let us know how it is once you get it.

Obs Engine Nano is a great little tank. It absolutely DOES NOT LEAK at all.
Flavour is not as good as the Serpent Mini SMM or the original Serpent Mini but the lack of leaks makes it a winner for me.
The Serpent SMM is a great little tank too but can weep a little from the top cap. No idea why but both of mine do it.

I'm the same. I chucked all my FA concentrates and now just buy flavour concentrates from Vamp Vape or T-Juice. So much less hassle.
I too have been nic free for about a week now. I was on 1mg for about 3 months before that and was vaping maybe 5ml per day.
The new Aromamizer Plus (which I'm guessing you have) has one feature that makes it a lot better than the first version of the Plus. The grills over the airflow holes prevent the coils spitting out all over your mod. That issue stopped me using the original despite the excellent flavour. However, unless they fundamentally changed the design it will dump all it's juice out if left on its side. Still a nice tank though.
Hi guys, I have an unopened Geekvape Aegis 100w and a Uwell Crown 3 that I can put on the MM if anyone is interested?
You can’t. Vape gear is not allowed.
I see that Eleaf have released an iStick Pico that can take a 25mm tank. Ordered 2 of them because I love my old-faithful Picos and if I can use them with my Serpent SMMs then this is all I want.
The other day I was thinking about mods and looking at my collection and thinking about which devices I use the most. I realised that I use my Picos, and my VTC Minis the most. My DNA200, SX350J, and DNA75 devices mainly just sit on a shelf doing nothing.

iStick Pico 25 arrived. Much lighter than the original Pico and only a hair bigger. Much better screen on it than the original.
Pic with the tank that came with it. No idea what it's called but it vapes OK. I figured I'd use it for a bit.
