Another factor is the thought that you can be using a 150 watt device at 15 watts (my normal everyday power), so you are using the device at only 10% of what it can allegedly cope with. I find that more re assuring for the devices longetivity than using a 20 watt device close to flat out all the time

The highest my Vamo will hit is 15w and I suppose my other units are much the same.
Now I imagine that on some occasions there could (???) be times when I may be in such a state that I feel it necessary to up the wattage to full belt just to keep a lid on my anger, frustration, impatience, whatever, but whenever I have tried a few draws at the higher wattage, I lose any flavour, do not get much more in the way of vapour and would only do so for the perceived higher nicotine dose.
So, as others have said, we are all different and the way some people vape will be different to others.
Hopefully these higher wattage devices are just an expansion of the choices that are now on the market and not a new fad that is about to be copied by all e-cig manufacturers.

A dripper with the right coil and a high wattage can give immense flavour but it is determined by many factors. Like you said, each to their own.

I`m using a squonker at the moment at 12.5 watts and I really cant get a better vape no matter what I try. The flavour is exceptional, the hit is good, the vape is warm and vapour production is okay (doesn`t matter really). I lose flavour as well when I go higher. I`m not a fan of cloud chasing, does the image of vaping no good at all. Just feeds the antis IMHO.

I think the most accurate and calculated way to look at the quantity of watts, is the penis.
Epeen is in force in our vape community and people always strive to have a bigger dick than everyone else.
There will always be some king dong who wants to vape at 7 thousand watts and split your mum in half

Yes *-SARIN-*, A Dripper will be my next experiment. I tried one a couple of years back but did not persevere with it. Must try harder next time.

Now having moved up to a 40 watt mod on my sub tank I can appreciate the difference. with my Nautilus I like about 8 watts, but with the sub tank I like 25 watts. So I suppose it depends on the tank you like. Not sure about 100w but as they say never say never.

There will always be some king dong who wants to vape at 7 thousand watts and split your mum in half In the same respect i could say that people that vape under 20W are weiners and why bother, but i won't because i believe that people should vape freely and how they like. To imply that all cloud chasers or people that vape at high wattage are doing it to look big and cool or to gain an appendage enhancement (it doesn't work by the way) is very short sighted, especially seeing as you obviously don't do it. In the same vein i'll target your opinion that everyone that is blowing big clouds is harming the vaping community and giving us a bad name? I think that it's far better that people see vapers and question what they are doing rather than have the opinion that we are hiding in dark corners doing something naughty and illegal. Your post reference the tit on the train is spot on though and that sort of idiot will do us no favours but why should i hide away something that is neither harmful to others or illegal? People will always push hobbies to their limits and even if it's not for you and this is how things evolve. Would the sub ohm tanks have ever been designed if the "king Dong" never decided to push their mod / batteries / lungs to the limit?

As far as I am concerned, it`s about not giving the Antis ammunition, it`s hard enough getting approval when they just produce the same amount of visual effect as a cigarette does. Seeing clouds of vapour doesn`t help, but that`s just my opinion

For many, deciding to vape is exercising their right to choice. There are many in tobacco control wish to remove that choice. I am always worried when people who vape suggest that it's ok to take choices away from other vapers. This may overtly, or implied By casting derision and scorn on other vapers choices. For me there is only one issue, the right to vape, which is the Right to enjoy nicotine without the risks conferred by burning tobacco.

Most of the negative reactions I've seen to vaping in my small part of the world have come because of a small group that cloud chase granted they are a bunch of obnoxious gits but they are doing more harm then good. I'm not against people making huge clouds but there is a time and place for it and in my case not the town centre. I don't dislike any aspect of vaping each to their own but while vaping is not secure every vaper needs to think about what they are doing and how it might impact the greater community. I am sure I could manage if heavy restrictions come in but there are still millions that could benefit from vaping and deserve to have the option available to them as we did.
