My suggestion would be the arizer argo. I'm pretty sure those sell for about or under 130. It's a great portable with removal battery and glass air path.
Yeah, at this price point, I'd say this or maybe you could find a Roffu (basically fancier version of v3 Pro) on sale

I thought those used kanthal?
OP: on demand or session? Convection, conduction or hybrid?

Heater is made of kanthal. Some studies suggest it can be harmful. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11051-019-4598-y
Thats true. The above mentioned are either ceramic or kanthal. My original post included ceramic heater, but I edited it. Im only interested in stainless steel.
Regarding demand/session/Convection/ conduction/hybrid, it doesnt matter.

I’d bet if you develop a vape with all those features for under $130 you’d sell a ton of them!

Yeah you might need to spend more for what you want, although healthy rips uses a steel chamber with steel element? I think, but that doesn't make it top tier as enjoyable for some reason so I don't know... You can read studies about anything being harmful, agreed SS is the best element, but you might have to pay more to get everything you want honestly (or sacrifice something there are so many different types of vape options so most of them involve compromise on some features that you desire)

Never had it, but it seems like the one. according to reviews from veteran vaporists, and clouds size.

Thanks, I will read more about that. Always happy to educate, I was not aware. Not scared after reading the paper you inked however, but I see your point.
You can always use Anvil or Dynavap made from SS, and use induction heater as a heat source. Sounds cleaner to me : )

If you're okay with a battery induction heater, you could pick up a Dynavap B with that for near your desired budget.
Don't read up about nickel in S/S
, Roffu does use Kanthal for the heater, like many other vapes. You can pick faults in any material if you look for the right study.That said, the Roffu is on sale for about US$103...

I think the closest thing that'll get to your budget and your criteria is a 510 dhv, but you'll need to install SS coils and you'll have to either own a box mod that can be used with TC (preferally AF,red panda or dna mod), or really get to know your vape when using wattage, meaning you should know, and learn to feel while drawing, exactly when the heater starts to glow, because AFAWK, SS316L degradation starts around 500C (good luck lol).
I doubt that the researchers did a burn-off before the experiment; that might change the results importance significantly and might make this paper irrelevant as everyone who installs a coil either do a burn-off or have 0 experience. You can also see in Fig 2(d) for example (and at other Figures there) that the number reduces as time goes by, which let me to thinking no burn-off was done at all and a fresh coil was installed each time.
If I'm correct, the question should be if a coil stays in good shape after a good burn off and right usage, or more precisely, when does the metal oxide layers that got formed get damaged? (as I said above, AFAWK with ss316L, the layers starts to get damaged around 500C, but if I recall correctly Kanthal A1 is even better in that regard and can be used above 500C without degradation, which can be enough for our usage, but it depends on the heater.)
As the quoted paper stated:
About the paper, I wonder if they changed the coil after each experiment (or even for each case) or used same coil for a period of time (beside the 1st exp that they had to change to different ohms). My guts tells me they switched after at least each experiment, if not after each case, which leads to this point:
