    Default Is it more about the voltage or the mod?

    Ok so the bottom line is as long as the device puts out X watts, that's all that matters, yes? Granted the physiology of the connector (airflow, etc) can effect it, in the end it's all about the attachments.
    Everyone is like, "this mod vapes like a beast" but couldn't any hole in the wall with a 510 connector in it vape just as well as long as the voltage is right?
    Seems like all the credit should go to the carto/atty/whatever instead of the mod. I guess it's just that the mods seem to get more credit than is due most of the time.

    I would agree to an extent. I use a provari, and apex, and a GG. Have tanks, genesis, NR/R. Each has a different flow and flavor. I really think it depends on your preference and what you are looking for. With all of my mods, I like a hot vape with good flow. Depending on what I am using, I adjust accordingly.

    I think there's far more to this than meets the eye. Yes, wattage is the deciding factor - in terms of how much electrical energy can be converted to heat energy - but consider:

    * Rate of heat output increase by the coil - how fast does it heat up?
    * Amount of liquid available to be vaporized - how much can the wick/filler hold before burning begins?
    * Rate of liquid replenishment to the coil
    * Total available heating area
    * PG to VG ratio - surprised you didn't mention that
    * Viscosity of e-liquid - has it been thinned with water?

    Anything I've missed?

    Most of the items on your list are accessories. The point of my post is that what difference, if any, does the mod impart on the atty/carto to deem it "a good vape".

    Let's say, for instance, that you fill your favorite tank with your favorite juice and screw it onto a Darwin.
    It vapes like a dream at, say, 3.7 volts.

    In theory, you should be able to take that tank and screw it onto a $5 box mod you made in your basement from cattle dung and twist ties and have it vape just as good.

    I realize that the functionality of a mod can make any vape more enjoyable by virtue of a drip well, VV, button, etc so I'm not discounting that. I'm just trying to give credit where credit is due is all .

    Well, I wanted to test your theory

    I have sitting here a tank with a Boge 1.5 filled with my favorite juice. I also have a provari and a LT sitting here. I just tried the tank on my LT and then placed it on my Provari. Drags on both and the provari at 4.1 definitely hits better---fuller,etc.

    Much more vapor from the provari. The LT is set at 6.0 but I don't have a meter with me to test it.

    Very unscientific but it seems to make a difference.

    I get what they are trying to get at. You can not compare a lavatube that has been proven time and time again to be inaccurate as to what the display is telling you are vaping and what you know by taste vapor ect it is vaping at. To be honest I do not own either but we all know a LT is not as accurate as the provari. So try the test again this time use two devices that have been tested to be accurate and have the wattage battery capacity and so on. Then go and put your boge, stardust or HH 357 and see if there is any difference and report back to us.

    Happy vaping
