Does anyone really vape at ~200 watts?

I just bought a pair of mods and had battery life in mind. Ended up picking up a pair of dna 75s with dual 18650s in parallel. It completely destroys my triple battery dna 200 in series and it's a bit lighter.

Don't buy 200-300w mods for battery life, look for mods that are actually wired for it. Currently vaping a .5 ohm coil at 40w more than enough for me.

Which ones did you get?

neh, what about the pretty clouds? :D what about mouth full of flavor? :D
I get good flavor from the STM RBA at 20 watts, better than with the TFV4 mini at 50 watts or so with 6 coils.
And almost as good as with the NarDa at 20 watts.
the Serpent at 20 watts has a bit smoother air flow than the STM but the flavor is pretty much the same.

Also I vape 5% max flavor DIY juice.

btw i was not dumb enough to buy my TFV4's I won em.

I think some of the high power flavor is just juice spit/spray.

Why is some one dumd for buying a tank just because you don't like it??

I've had all the tanks you mention and even though they are exiled to the Isle of Forgotten Tanks I wouldn't call anyone dumb for buying them.

I said I was not dumb enough to buy one.
I did not say that everyone that bought one was dumb.
I would never have bought one based on the design and the reviews. Just not for me.
Can get by though using the RBA head.

But with those and a few others I learned that per my opinion more power does not necessarily mean better.

I was just wondering, with all these 200 watt and now even 300 watt devices, does anyone really vape at that power? My guess is that it's just a marketing game, that, and longer vape times.
Some coils need more power (Ramp up) And some people like hard hitting mods. I enjoy owning a device that can fire at 200 watts more then a 75 watt.

It's done even higher from what I have seen in my area, especially the younger cloudz braz crowd out in my neck of the woods. They are so hot on their vapes they can barely fire 1 to 1.5seconds on attys like the Mason 40mm with 4s LiPo box mods /w PWM potentiometers. The real question can the mods coming out actually reach those wattages advertised given current 18650 technology available? IMO no, plus I can't see the hype of being over 100watts to begin with, vape becomes not enjoyable to me. Hottest build I got running right now is on a Velocity /w verticle 24/32 claptons in a 6/5 wrap at a 3.5mm ID, running at 75 to 100watts, but I still get a more efficient vape from my Doge V2 /w parallel 26awg 10/9 wrap on a 3.5mm ID running at 35watts.

do they use Dilithium crystals too ?? ;)

The Boreas is reason enough to vape at high wattage. I retired all my tanks including my STM in favor of it. Great flavor, no dry hits. Can hit it at 200 if I choose but usually run it around 80-90 with a .26 Clapton build.
Regarding this entire topic, we all have our preferences as to what works for us. Unfortunately that choice, which makes vaping such a wonderfully disruptive technology, is being taken away from us.

Wow, I can't hardly pass 20w on my Pico. Lol when I used my Lavatube it was more like 8W.

Of course I do, it has nothing to do with clouds, or looking [emoji41] cool, dam Im 38, "being cool stopped" about the time Vanilla Ice hit the scene, it's about what matters, (WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU, TO QUIT THE "STINKIES").... as I refuse to even say the word anymore.

Its being able to build a" “[emoji89]alien fused clapton" coil,(or buy one pre-made, like I, do) and getting that OUT OF THIS WORLD nice, warm, dense, flavor for DAYS, VAPE. I have talked to people who never have, and then they do...... and they all say the same thing, when they do a lung hit on an unregulated series mod, or mech mod, around or well above 200 watts; " [emoji15] [emoji39] OMG this juice has flavors I had never even tested before. Now, that dosent mean you have to do the above, to get good flavor, if your a "mouth to lung vapor" then yes you can get a device that gives you about 40 watts, and use a Russian91‰, or a simular RDTA, but I suspect the majority of vapors out there who dont understand high wattage vapors, are just fine using a, Aspie Nautilus and iwatt 20 Watt and Vape Mouth to Lung.

If thats what works for them to stay off the stinkies then WONDERFUL.

Now having said that, my question to the rest, if I may, is this?
Have you ever "lung hit" a 3.5mm Dual Fused Clapton Coil? , on a 30mm RDA?

Whether your awnser to the question, is Yes, or No, is I'll relevant, and this is why, "THIS CRAZY IDEA OF.... WELL...IF WE ALL START, "VAPPING LIKE A SIR" and "IF WE JUST MAKE A LITTLE LESS SMOKE, THEN THIS WILL BE MORE EXCEPTED, TO THOSE TO EXCEPT VAPING AS A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO SMOKE, god it is so sickning, folks the FDA, Big Tobacco, and Pharma dont GIVE A ....!!!! whether your vaping a Blu e-cigarette, from your local Gas Station, with little wisps of "VAPOR" that is hit by mouth to lung, NOT creating to much vapor, OR WHETHER your smoking off the one of the high wattage setups above....

PEOPLE THERE IS NO "Well if just do this, or if we take away the cloud comps, the 200 watt mods, then all will be good, " WE WILL THEN BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, AND WE WILL be accepted, if
you will.

NOW DOES THIS MEAN GOING SOMEWHERE AND BLOWING A CUMULUS CLOUD IN FRONT OF SOME ONE IS [emoji108] OKAY?.... NO..... its not, and your a dick, (anyone in general) who needs to learn respect -

I vape at that wattage becuase, just like alot of people, the first vapor product I ever tried was a blu, from a local gas station, then back and forth, ciggeretes, then the evod, THEN finally, I was introduced to a mech mod, and had my last ciggerete, 4 years ago. That folks is all that matters, why do I care if your smoking at 300 watts or 40, YOUR NOT SMOKING STINKIES, AND YOUR NOT COMMITING SUICIDE AFTER TAKING CHANTIX... SMH, when are you people going to wake up.

And please excuse me ahead of time for any grammatical errors[emoji5]

I get you @DOCDRIPS.....grammatical errors 'n all. ;)
Vapers need to let go off the assumption that clouds are what bought the deeming on.

{IMO} Vaping started gaining so much negative attention due to the number of "explosions" the media couldn't wait to exploit. It was never USER ERROR.....(where it should've been).....Always had to be the fault of this deadly & dangerous ecig.

    Personally, it comes down to the wire and the build. Put a large mass of wire in an atomizer and its going to require a lot of power to heat up with in a reasonable amount of time. Of course with RBA decks the user can go the other way.

    One of my favorite tanks/builds right now is the single coil RBA deck with a 1.0ohm NiFe Ribbon build in a TFV4. I drive it with 25W in TC mode. Another build I have close at hand is a 0.34ohm 26Awg Ti build in an Atlantis-Mega (3rd party RBA). I'm driving it with 20W in TC mode.

    IMHO: anything more than dual coils is just a battery eating hog.

    @DOCDRIPS I'm really not sure what your point is, as there's no debate embedded in my original question. I was just curious if anyone (other than in competitions, either formal or informal among friends) actually vaped at any power approaching 200 or more watts. There was no judgement implied in my question.

    @ed c

    *You are without a doubt CORRECT SIR* You have my utmost apology, and it should not have took me this long to see that, my response came @ a couple of responses that I saw to your initial post, so for that, I am sorry sincerely, and man enough to say, well.....

    Lol, i bet I could make my laptop and cell phone batteries explode, but you wouldnt see regulations on those. It's all about the money. That is what makes the world go round.

    I've never gone anywhere close to 200w. The two mods I have in front of me right now, for example, are a Treebox set at 30w with a .75ohm Griffin 22 and an Invader 2 with a .54ohm Zephyrus 2, which works out to ~32w on fresh cells. That's my current comfort zone. ;)
    My fiance gets a great flavor and what is a comfortable Vape for her, at 45W
    with a Tobecco Super Tank Mini, WITH A TREEBOX TOO! Most underrated 75 Watt TC Mod "IMO" beautiful Zebra wood!

    I dont something happened to me when I took a lung hit off of dual 18650 series hammond box, but for me now I like lots of surface space and with 4mm dual 24Core/28Wrapped Claptons 7 Wrap on a 30mm Vaper Cloudz Temple on a Wismec RX200S @ "EXACTLY" 200 WATTS is "no comparison"

    Before Vaping the only thing I cared if asking someone for a smoke was menthol or non menthol lol
