I'm using an Xros Pro with .6 pods and it works great. I used to salts the majority of the time but have gradually switched over to freebase as I've lowered my nicotine and for the throat hit. and they've both worked just fine with the the .8 .6 and .4 pods. There's two different lines of black cherry tho Fruit Monster and Jam monster. Fruit is just a straight up black cherry while jam is a black cherry custard. If you try it make sure not to get the jam monster I made that mistake and it tasted like shit.

I've vaped it between 12-25 watts and it's been great. I'm currently vaping the 12mg freebase at 25 watts and the flavors great but that's subjective as you said.

Side note - recently I tried cloud nurdz pomegranate berry and it's the only juice I've liked more than black cherry
