Wattage Battle

[Zabolee]

HI guys,
Currently I am rocking a first generation rDNA40 and an Invader mini. Both work great, but I am starting to be interested in branching out more. I have never used the Yihi chip, but have heard great things about it. So that is what I am looking to try next.
I've been vaping for about a year, and have never seen the need to use more than 35watts. But the few mods I am looking at are the Sigelei 75w tc and the Sig 150w tc. Since the 150 is only ~$30 more I feel like it's the better deal. But I can't imagine a time I'd use that much power. The only real benefit I see is the extra battery life.

What I'm asking is a) what are your experiences with either mod. and b) what benefits would the extra 75 watts serve?

I never mess with fancy coils, and I generally use tank systems anyway.

Probably nothing. This forum is primarily a site for hobbyists and socializing on vaping. But, there is a largely quiet crowd that just wants to stay away from cigs and to reduce their nic habit/consumption. That is easily done with 10-20 watts and a tank.

You mentioned rDNA40s, I have two because of the quality chip inside, but I rarely go above 20-22 watts.

Thanks.
I am a hobbyist in the sense that I love to build my own coils and find great flavors, but I am not interested in chucking clouds. I do sub-ohm with nickel, but I still haven't needed more than 25 watts for my style.

That said, I do love the DNA40. Before finding out about the Sigelei's I was seriously looking into the Vapor Flask, but I don't know anyone with it, so I can't tell if the screen on top would drive me crazy lighting up every time I fired it, and I don't want to have to put in stealth mode all the time.

Humm.... to much paycheck starting to eat a hole?

Outside of different size/shape/menu/color some of the higher wattage devices use two 18650's rather than just a single one which may equate (depending on how you use it) to longer use time between charges.

I'd suggest finding a local shop that carries the mod's that your interested in and checking them out 1st hand. That is what helped steer my last mod purchasing decision.

Not so much burning. I have been rocking the VS DNA40 since last November, and absolutely love it. I tried mechs for a few weeks, and I used my Invader mini for a few weeks, and I always want to go back to the VS.
What's been peeking my interest is that so many companies are coming out with temp control devices that I want to see what the hype is with them. And SX seems to have gotten great reviews. I absolutely can't afford the SX mini M class, but he Sig also uses SX chips, so I figured that would be a good way to check it out
