Maybe this is the thing Kat... I don't consider my experience to have been "poor". It just wasn't what everyone else wants it to be. I'm quite content with my vape just as it is. The only reason I even tried other devices is cuz I won them. The mini Cloupor+ 60w(?) Was the first. Tried it, didn't work for me. So. Do I decide to chuck all my Evod tanks and go on a search for a 'better' tank to work with the mod? Of course not, I traded the Cloupor for a bucket load of PT 2s! Made a great friend and vaped on. Next was the Movkin Luggly. Not for me, traded it with someone who bought and shipped to me a brand new Mini Istick 10w. Happy camper here. Koopor plus 200w(?), that monster bought me a pile of DIY flavors.
On and on. Currently have a Cloupor T8 that has never had a battery in it. Held that brick in my hand once and put it back in its box. Currently waiting for a Cuboid/QuadFlex package to arrive, the mod will be sent off in trade for 2 Eleaf Icare as soon as it gets here. Hoping the tank will work as well as my Lemos at 1.3 ohm. I'm really thinking those Icares may be my perfect forever vape that will relegate my collection of classic gear to backup status. I'll find out soon enuf.
I just get my hackles up occasionally when I see that statement about a 200w device operating at 7w. Maybe some do? I usually ignore it but once in awhile I make the mistake of responding to it and it starts this whole rigamarole of your doing this wrong or you've got to try this. Why? What am I doing wrong? My vape is working for me. I'm sure I could make adjustments to get exactly the same vape with a higher power device, but if have to do that, how can it be called the same? Must be that my equipment is faulty.
Oh well. If anyone is reading this as a rant you're mistaking my intent. Just a feeble attempt to be understood. I need to learn to stop responding to that 200w doing 7w thing. Self control, Foggy, self control.Very sorry if I've offended.
I really can't even begin to comment on everyone else's experiences with either high wattage or low wattage mods. I do know that my experiences have been nearly flawless across the board, from the time I was using cigalikes and Egos, all the way to the current stable of higher wattage gear. Yes, the available watts on the mods increased, but my need for them sure didn't. I've stayed in my same range and barely push most of them to 10w. (DP, you ARE brave and full of raw power!!)
Not once have I ever seen it as a problem if someone is happy with what they are vaping! That's extraordinarily great news whenever those words are spoken, so please know, I for one, am happy for you. And no, I doubt anyone read your post as anything more than you just explaining from where you come. I didn't find it offensive. Perhaps a little difficult to understand, and that's only because I've not shared your experiences. However... that does not negate your experiences at all.
