Without knowing what board is controlling it, you don't get more specific answers. Benefits of higher watts can be simply the ability to crank more power to say dual coil builds allowing the coils to get hotter faster. But what protections are on the device, can it regulate down, etc etc. Those are other factors. Some devices are more efficient than others. Its all a preference to each person, you have to find what works for you. I'm good with my vapor shark rDNA which is a dna30 board, but I have a cloupor t5 50 watt mainly because I liked the price and form factor. Do I use the full potential, no. I like 13 watts and 2ohm coils, but it's nice knowing I can go up if need be.

I was wondering what the big deal between 50 and 100 watt vv/vw devices are. I understand the basics but it seems to me that all of then have the ability to sub ohm vape down to the same level. I am looking to get a vw/vv and wanted to know what would be best. Even possibly a 30 watt?

Hi Cole and welcome to ECF. The obvious difference here is the power output, 50 watts vs 100 watts. The coil resistance makes much less difference to these regulated device compared to mechanical devices. That's because you set the power with regulated devices while with mechanical mods you rely on the resistance of your build to draw the associated power from the battery.

The majority of people vape between 6 and 14 watts. 30 watts for an experienced vaper with rebuildable attomizers is not outrageous, few use 50 watts all the time and almost no-one uses 100 watts all the time.

What do you vape now and at what power, or at what resistance and voltage? If this is going to be your first device I suggest you hold off on the high power mods for a bit and do some more research on it before you buy. This is a great resource when starting out and may help with some questions you might have: One Stop Reference Shop For New and Experienced Vapers.

They have quite a few good 50 to 150 regulated mods avaible and it just depends on what your looking for and what chip set.you are wanting. I know the IPV3 150 watt with the yihi sx330 v3 chip set will be getting future software support and upgrades the owners can do with firmware at home. It also comes with YEAR manufacturer warentee. Out of what's available now this looks like a pretty good deal because of the software support it will be receiving. In fact it started out as the 100 watt and will be shipped with the first upgrade already installed making it 150 watts. I'm not exactly sure where it's going to end up with its watt capibility but I do know it will be getting more upgrades in the future.this units will take two 30 amp batteries like the genuine Sony vtc5. According to the specs it will sub ohm all the way down to a .1 resistance. .it's available for pre order now from watts up vapor. I believe it ships around the tenth of September. I know this units has touch fire and regular fire.it's selling for around 140.dollars.I pre ordered one of these for myself because I have the ipv2 and really like it. I've had ZERO problems with it. I really like the fact that the software will be supported with the ipv3 in the future and I also like that they will be providing a full year warranty. As far as a high wattage regulated mod goes, this looks like a pretty good one. If your considering purchasing a high wattage regulated mod compare the specs on the mods and see which one you think would best suit your needs.look at how the chips function and if the chips will be supported in the future. Also look at the warentee if they offer one.it really depends on what YOU as a individual is looking for in a high wattage mod.do take a look at the IPV3 150 watt units and see what you think.I personally like what it has to offer. Each unit
weather it be 30, 50, 100, or 150 has its own specs. It just depends your needs and vaping style . If your going to be vaping at a low resistance find a unit to meet that need. I think it's wonderful we have so many choices now to fit our own needs. It all depends on what YOU want as a individual if 30, 50, or 150 watts is what you vape it's great that there is a unit out there to meet your needs and requirements. 150 watts won't be for everyone, but it's nice it's available for those people who do want it.
 
These 100 and 150 watt devices cater to sub ohm vapors. It is not a gimmick. It peeves me to no end when people say this. If your happy with 15 watts that's fine. Buy a box that suits you. You can get about the same amount of power out of these 100/150's as you can an unregulated mech but with greater consistency. My Ipv2 is always set to 50 watts on a 1.3 ohm coil. The beauty of the regulated high wattage boxes is that you can achieve the same power as a mech but much safer and without sub-ohming. I normally run a .1 ohm coil on my mech so the Ipv2 doesn't come close to the power I'm used to but it's the consistency I love about it. The 150 Ipv3 will take the cake. It will achieve what I do now in a more consistent manner with better battery life. I think drippers mainly benefit from high wattage boxes since tanks and pre-wrapped coils do not wick efficiently enough to sustain 20 watts or more. Just my 2c.
