It feels weird because the frequencies you are hearing are so different then the actual system. IEMs lack in bass ect. I tried them out but have resorted to using earplugs instead
That can happen. You have to run the cue section right. You basically need a cue/master blend control, and you can't cue more than 1 channel at a time any other way…otherwise, the volume can jump ridiculously and it's more dangerous than just using headphones.
Within those restrictions, I still like it better.
That shouldn't be a problem, though. Do the sound check and be able to translate your IEMs to a generic, idealized club system…and just look for problems during your sound check to be aware of. But at any rate, DJ mixers don't offer enough control to really tune a room anyway…so, you're basically just playing your set and remembering things like "the subs are already working harder than they should…never turn up bass EQs," which only take a few seconds to realize.
Earplugs are cool, but I got sick of bumping them with my headphones. I'd consider getting customs and spinning with those, but I think I'm done with anything cheaper.
