Am I missing something here?

What's Rugby League got to do with it chykensa?
i agree to some extent with you both. 15 watts is plenty for the kayfun. But I like 20-25 on the Erl. It can also be juice dependent.
I believe a 50 watt mod would be fairly future proof for me.

that was my response when I first saw RL used on here... (and we won today, too )

After a year or so on kayfuns i was slowly being drawn more and more by drippers.

The flavour I was getting was just better and I was lung inhaling which I was finding more satisfying, it wasn't until lemos and sub ohm tanks popped along that i started lung inhaling all day.

It was a revelation a much as a sad truth that almost all my gear was beginning to be outgrown.

At first I didn't want to give up my kayfuns and mods that fired sub 15w but now everything i vape is wide open and above 25w. I parted with kayfuns, russians, provaris, the lot. I was sad to see them go but they were just collecting dust.

I'll never knock any type of vaping, whatever works for each person.

For me its currently sub ohming, high watts and clouds and flavour

If ce4s work, great. If kayfuns work, great. If 100w works, great.

To each his own, just be careful not to knock something or suggest it isn't 'the best' way, because it isn't your way.

The best way is always the way that suits you!

Don't get me wrong folks, I am quite happy for people to buy 150w mods, I'm just wondering like lobeydosser if they will ever use that sort of wattage in normal daily usage.
And I quite agree that whatever floats your boat. My MVP3, Caravela and iStick work for me, depending on the situation, and I quite see that other devices and tanks will work for others. As Perpetua says, wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same!

I've got a 150w sigelei. I bought it because I liked the look of it and it's features , spring loaded 510 , magnetic door for changing batterys and its dual 18650 so batterys last ages ! It's never been above 50w thats where I like my drippers and 27w for my atlantis.
Does everything I need and will do more of I ever need it too

Interesting thoughts. Personally I tend to worry when things seem to take off so quickly like the 50 then 100-150w stuff,, what about those of us who do not want or need this? manufacturers will stop making lower powered devices and just make higher powered ones instead!

Yes choice is a good thing but with the way thing's are going lower power devices will be hard to get hold of.

[geordie_vaper]

most of them will fire at low wattages if the user wants to use them like that

[beeper]

yep.
for experienced and competent and confident vapers

A .5 coil fired at 50 watts is going to be around 5 volts.
5 volts is just a smidge over the output of an ego spinner at full tilt.
Not that im saying its ok to run a .5 coil off of a spinner, more the fact that '50watts' just sounds a lot more impressive than it did in old money.
Personally if theres a choice I change my mods to run at volts.

[Pepperty]

I actually vape differently depending on what gear I'm using and I don't favour one style over another.

I'm enjoying lung inhales on dual coil orchids coiled at 0.6ohms at 22watts as much as mouth to lung inhales on a single microcoil in my protanks at 10watts and my billet box at 2.5ohms diver v2 build and 4-5.5 volts. I just like the options as much as I like loads of flavours!

[whiteshep]

Most that do vape at 100 watts don't do routinely I did try my friends ipv3 at 100 watts it was not pleasant and he then admitted he didn't vape it at that very often its more to do with the hardware dual and triple battery's lasting ages at the normal range and future proofing is something many like. Unlike some I'm done on the power aspect of vaping I will not need more then i have now I've got my setups giving me the ideal vape one or two more subtank+'s and I'm done barring breakages will be concentrating solely on getting better at mixing my own liquid. Vaping is such a fast moving industry that it's impossible to keep up and every company's product is the best ever find what works and be happy with that .

Your not really comparing eggs with eggs, 50 watts is 50 watts in any form of currency. Volts and watts are very different things.

Nothing to do with me, its ohms law I just put the equation through 1 of his calcs.

I guess entering numbers in equations and understanding what you're  doing are two entirely different things

i do like to sub ohm at about .2ohms on a mech or i think its about 88 watts on a regulated but only when i want to make clouds or be mean and let some one try it with 22mg jucie in it *devilish*cause ecigs are crap
the prob is making big clouds like that in public is not a good thing for vapeing
i tend to tone down my setups depending on what im doing
i mostly mouth inhale sept for clouding with 0mg juice
the main thing is are peps going to use all this power with none smokers in mind or is it just going to be nobends blowing big clouds everywhere, i hope not

What you have to remember is that 100W's were not really originally designed for sub ohm builds. Chuck a 3 ohm build in a dripper, crank it up to 100W and the flavour and vapour is similar to using a 0.5 ohm build at 20W. Imagine the surface area of a 24g 3 ohm build, it's huge = more vapour and flavour. Why you would do this i don't know but people do, i've seen it for myself. Others will quite happily put a 0.2 ohm build in it, crank it up to 100W and never go there again. Horses for courses but i can tell you that a Sigelei running a 1 ohm build at 100W needs it's batteries charging EVERY day if not before Personally i use an atlantis at 20W and a dripper (0.2-0.4 ohms) at 40-50W occasionally a bit higher but it gets hot quick, like sub 0.1 on a mech.
