Hi farraz, what power levels are you vaping at now, and what's your setup?

Although there are a LOT of high-powered mods out there nowadays, I'd be willing to bet that it's only a small percentage of those folks rarely push theirs to the limit.

The short answer is that watts indeed do matter, but they are only one factor that goes into a satisfying vape. Everyone is different, and everyone enjoys different vapes.

Well i dont have that mod yet i was looking to purchase it.. im using a nemesis. But im literally about to buy a Box mod vape right now im looking for something with high wattage. I want to vape with almost the lowest number of ohms allowed on the vape so i was looking to see if for example i vape a .o9 ohm how many watts would i need to use? and if i have 2 batteries would it die fast?
Also this may sound really stupid but is .15 bigger then .3?

I like vaping much higher ohm's than that but just be careful my friend , this stuff is no joke .

For temperature control the watts are how fast it ramps up to the temperature you set it to maintain. I have a 100, 150, 75, 50 watt systems and never go much above 40 watts. Most of the time I am around the 30 watt mark. Mostly just the Triton tank needs its watts in the 40's to run proper. But then again you want to blow clouds. Do you build? Do you drip? Or you just want to buy that system and buy coils and blow some factory clouds? CHEERS!

Ouch, .09? Ok, maybe, you try that with non resistance wire in TC mode. Wind a Kanthal coil like that in a mechanical box and you'll be drawing 47 amps. In short, yes, watts matter. But 60 watts is enough for a fair size cloud, no doubt. If you go with the Evic VT, you won't have the option about batteries, it's a fixed battery mod. But for about the same money, if you look around, you can buy a Sigelei 150 watt TC box. Those take two 18650 cells, and you really can get some serious cloud out of them. You do need to learn about Ohms law and battery amperage to do it safely, though, and you're going to want some high amperage, top quality authentic batteries.

Im looking to purchase a temperature control and etc box mod the Evic Vtc Mini
It goes up to 60 watts. Do the watts matter? because im confused
I wanna use a low ohm coil so i can blow clouds but im just confused? Will it automatically adjust it for me? do the 60 watts matter or is it going to restrict me? thanks!

Okay to start, depending on your coil resistance on your Nemesis you use, you are in the 40+ watts club. Now, remember, though the Evic VTC firmware can fire a coil lower than 0.1ohms, this is only for special wire specifically for Temperature Control, a standard Kanthal or Nichrome coil does not fit the bill, most of these TC mods it is for Nickel Ni200 and Titanium Grade 1 wire, some Stainless Steel TC are coming out, but they are just now becoming available. Do not think a TC mod being allowed to fire a super low ohm coil means you can crank that bad boy all the way up and expect to create a thunderstorm cloud in one rip, in fact most super cloud chasers on even Sigelei 150watt and higher devices are rarely above 100watts, reason it is just to dang hot for extended use, and battery safety. A TC mod, though you can set wattage to max, in temp mode, once that coil hits the top temp setting you have set, it throttles down and maintains that temp, so it makes a uniform vape from start to finish even chainvapes in a row, "When" working properly.

Being a long time mech user from the sounds of your posts, go to a regulated you have to relearn a lot, including you have to build lower and lower. I know quite a few vapers that use regulated boxes in the 100watt plus range, build with 0.4 to 0.6ohm dual coil at about 80watts and slaughter a super cloud chucking quad coil on a mech with a 30amp battery, the regulated throws more volts than amps at the coil with a regulated mod. And right now if your Nemesis config is lacking getting you where you want, I'd suggest first to check into your airflow, wicking, and vortexing designs in your RDA, any blockage and improper spiral vortexing up through the mouth piece are being blocked will affect cloud production more drastically than lower and lower ohms. Also, if you are locked on the invisible rabbit of the perfect cloud, then like I stated look at your build in the wicking, air inlets, and any obstructions slowing or stopping vortexing first.
