How many watts is too many?

[TheOdessa]

I'm currently rocking an Aspire Atlantis on top of a IPV mini 30w mod. I love this set up! The flavor isn't quite as good as my subtank, but it's still great with nice clouds to boot. I vape Max VG juices at 3mg nic and keep the watts at 30. I have 4 18650 batteries that I rotate and so I'm never without power. I'm a chain vapor, especially if I'm working from home behind a computer.

My question is, how many watts is too many? There are so many mods out now with higher watts. I'm looking at getting a Delta II tank with the new IPV Mini V2 that goes up to 70 watts. I just remember rocking a MVP2 at 11 watts then a istick at 20 watts. How many is too many? There has got to be a threshold as to what is safe, right? How many watts can you vape before it's considered unsafe? I am just curious.

I have the IPV3 upgraded to 165 watts and have not fired it at the full wattage yet. You have to have a very low Ohm build to be able to fire the full 165 watts.
I have tested it at 130 watts but the highest I have ever hit it was at 75 watts and its not really a comfortable vape. Flavor starts to lack and its very warm but felt perfectly safe. I vape 20-40 watts on the regular depending on the topper/build.

Thanks for sharing. I love your avatar by the way!

I am just curious when too many watts is too many. I've fired my Atlantis on my m50 upgraded to 65 watts (I freaking hate that box mod btw. It's horrible) at 40 watts and it seemed a bit too warm for my tastes. I am just curious if vaping nicotine or juice in general at higher watts can start to do harmful things.

I have the IPV3 as well, and like the previous post I've never vaped it very high..I run the Atlantis on it between 35-40w judging by how it vapes with different juices..but I also vape my dark horse RDA on it about 80-85w with a .25 ohm build..that's the highest I've tried it.. the beauty about my 150w IPV3 is its versatility, with enough power to dial in that perfect vape safely...[emoji39]

I guess this proves 400 watts is too much. That cracked me up - and it looks like that rig rips through juice. Talk about a crazy nic buzz.

Nice - now that I think about it, I suppose the answer to my question will be "vape whatever satisfies me and keeps me off tobacco." So far, 30 watts is doing this. The vape-nerd inside of me is wanting "more" but I want to do so safely.

It's like when I was really big into my car. I always wanted MORE.

Very true..but the 150w potential is nice..guess its like having the extra horsepower in that big car when you want to pass somebody..lol

It's better to have and not need, then to need and not have I get it!

Bingo!

I have a few really high powered mods, but I rarely, if ever, run it to the max.
However, I was hit pretty bad by "because I can syndrome" and built one of my drippers to run at 150w on my Sigelei.

Like condoms and guns. And much else of everything in life.

One more than what you wanted.

That's where I got the quote - the gun forums I attend and the motto I follow while carrying. Glad we both get it.

When the Hit you get Tastes like this...

... then you are using Too Many Watts.

LOL I know exactly what you mean. I hit the Atlantis at 65watts just to see what happens...

Never again.

I know it's not relavent to this thread, but I found this video after watching yours and it cracked me up:

Dude? Do you even vape? That video is priceless.

I'm looking at getting a Delta II tank with the new IPV Mini V2 that goes up to 70 watts.

I have that setup and I hit it at 30-40 mostly a tad over 30.

Hi Zazoie,

How is the Delta II ? Since I would like to get one but still compare the Subtank Mini.

Thanks.

Yeah... And this is Also why it is Hard to Answer the Question of "How Many Watts is Too Much?"

Because for a Clearo, 15 Watts may be Too Many.

Where as for a Well Wicking RDA, 25 Watts may Not be enough.
