High wattage vaping - why?

Lower ohm loads use more power to get to a desired voltage output. Lower ohms = higher power. A .2 ohm build at 30 watts isn't very enjoyable
sure it is:

24 gauge dual coil
or 20 gauge single coil:

yea, depends on how high you are vaping.
are you on a tank, because if you are using a tank with a high VG juice it could be that too.
But, I am vaping a 0.7 Clapton coil, single now, 3mm diameter, and Vaping between 50-60 watts. If I vaped a regular coil at that, It would just be terrible.
but usually I vape dual 0.2 ohm at 60 watts.
the more surface area, the higher the power needs to be.
but also vape to your taste man. If you like a 0.2 ohm coil at 10 watts then go to 10 watts.
vape gear, to me, is like a car. I want a lambourgini. Not because I will go 250KMH, But just knowing I could if I wanted to is good. If someday i get a coil thats crazy and takes forever to heat, Nice knowing I can pump up the power

Wattage is not all about Super Heating. Power need is dependent on the build and some designs will require a much higher power output in order to perform correctly.
12-15 watts can snap a 34ga. wire in the blink of an eye how ever the same 15 watts could take considerable time to even start heating a 20ga. build.
Think of Power as your accelerator. There are times you need little to none - down hill and times you need to push harder - up hill. In Both instances you may be attempting to maintain the same result - temperature/speed.

maybe it is my juice I make my own and it is all vg besides the flavoring PG doesn't seem to suit me very much.
Actually, with a parallel build I can easily get a .18 to .3 ohm build that I can vape at 150w and have it be rather cool. You need big airflow, big coils, and good wicking.
The bigger coil needing higher wattage thing seems like circular reasoning to me.
Just vape however you like to vape.

build and desired effect
26ga 11 wraps 2.5mm dual .6 ohms 50 watts to get 180-200 heat flux
20ga 8 wraps 2.5mm dual .18 ohms 100 watts to get the same effect
the way i've learned/figured it out, you build to the heat/vape you want, so that 26ga build gives me the vape i like not hot, but not cold, get the clouds that satisfy me and i only need 50 watts for it....
but when i build claptons and stapled coils i have to crank it up 80-120 watts

(Edit: Whups, almost got involved)
And I don't understand why anyone needs more than 12 watts to enjoy a vape [shrug]
Whatever works for you.

to each their own. I like big clouds and lots of flavor.
Since going subohm a whole new world of flavor opened up for me. I started with tanks and vaping in the 10-12 watt range, but once trying a wide bore dripper firing on all cylinders... there was no going back to my protanks.
That's really not true. The top of an ice cream bar tastes the same as the bottom of the ice cream bar. Take as large a bite of the ice cream bar as you wish.
