10 watts using my Emow (I think that's what they're called) tanks with 1.5 coils, 20-22 using my Ego1 tanks. I tried temp control on them but they can't really wick well enough at higher heat, regardless of regulated temp or not so I went back to Kanthol .5 coils. When using the drippers I've got them both set up at a 3.5mm ID and 26 gauge Kanthol set to .7 ohm. On the Lush I average ~50 watts but on the Mad Hatter I like it ~40 watts. Give or take a few watts up on either but I like a cool wet vape. Maybe after I've been off smokes for a while I'll like it warmer but right now I like it as cool as possible yet get a big cloud. Clouds keep me from smoking because no cigarette can put out as much cloud as a high vg juice in a dripper.

For me I vape at around 80W on the average day, but sometimes go higher depending on the day.

I feel I get a better experience at around 80W as I get better flavour, more vapor etc.

But I go through about 30ML a day on my RDA'S or my TFV4.

So my question is... Do you enjoy a low wattage vape or do you like sub-ohming?
40-50w, more than sufficient for me... Any higher.. Batteries, coils and juice all goes faster

I don't understand how anyone can vape at 20W or less, you get nothing, anything below 50W to me means that I get a lot less flavour and no vapour at all.

I am not a cloud chaser but don't you guys ever feel that you want more flavour or even a little more vapour production?

It's all about skill and technique- like how my Audi can take a Mustang with a lot more horsepower on a road course...

Hmmmmmmmm, considering 3 years ago the technology and equipment available to us at the time???? A Kayfun V4 at 1.5ohms at 12watts gives 3x the amount vapor and 4x the amount of flavor a cig-a-like from the first versions of Blu could deliver. It is all in your perspective, the coil, coil chamber, and airflow are all still the deciding factors, not the watts, not the clouds, not the VG. Knowing how to build a coil on the strengths of the device you will use needs to be looked at first to get the best flavor and such from any device. 3years ago, I remember the best vapor and flavor came from a LR 306 dripping atomizer on a bottom fed Reo Mod with a 10amp AW IMR, the 306 low resistance at the time, was a wow 1.5ohms.

How do I achieve this? I really want to conserve liquid, but if I am not vaping at 50-80W on my Aspire tank or TFV4 I am just not satisfied?

Good e-liquid, airflow, juice control, thin gauge coils which ramp up fast, draw technique, good hardware...
A Zen atty with a 2ohm coil, ReadyxWick wick and Halo e-liquid produce tremendous, clean flavor- at 7 watts, and lots of vapor...
