So final guess for 1 year from today is a 100w twin 18650 box with TC used at 50w(joules!!).
And I'll still be using my Ego Twist with a standard 510 atomizer.
I'd say that's how I roll, but since I'm a square, I don't really roll all that well.
:laugh:

Wattage in itself may not mean much - just like horsepower alone doesn't say much about a car's overall performance.
Not flash-frying my steak with a flamethrower, so not gonna scorch my liquid if the best flavour can be developed with lower watt settings.
Depends on the type of mod, atty, juice - just peeking at the wattage alone doesn't do justice to the intricacies of tickling the optimum out of your setup....

Its a long story but I actually play Vape Shop Tycoon.

I don't personally believe B&M shops have a future in NYS so I don't use my money but I enjoy studying this stuff and as I formulate my guess's I have a place that allows me to cast my pearls out to the mass's.

Its tough in a market where "a long time ago" is measured in months not decades.

And so far I've guessed real gooder.

I think CE-4's and spinners have reached market saturation so moving forward they aren't important. Whats out there will die and replacements harder to find. I haven't seen one sell in "a long time".

Mechs I can't really say as they are very cheap so the poor can afford them so they move alittle. As boxes get cheaper I can see a time they stop selling completely but the young male market keeps them alive and I don't know a thing about it, at least in say the last 30 years or so.

I made my lastest round of predictions early tonight when I was downtown. They don't have to listen but they generally do. I'd like to see cheap 30-50w boxs and 50-100w boxes with TC. And rows of pre-built tanks stacked high and like one each of several RTA's. RTA's are very slow moving, which is hard for me to except as I love them so but this is a what sells vs what I like.

The high wattage box mods are mainly due to the 'subohm cloudchasing' trend. Although many vapers don't take advantage of the higher controllable wattage with rdas and underutilize them thinking subohm is still better when rebuilding. But the main point to high wattage mods is, you can build higher ohm coils and still put out big clouds. Other advantages are longer battery life usually and performance over say a 20watt device.

I don't need a motorcycle that can hit 155mph either, but I enjoy riding it for many other reasons :)

I have two 100W mods mostly for the battery life.


If you ever find yourself on a motorcycle in Germany, head to the Autobahn. Hitting 150+ on a motorcycle is a pretty magical experience. Just be sure to wear your leathers! :)

I guess I meant the "average".

There will always be higher end everything then average.
Oh, I follow you... As fast as this industry grows, I think your prediction will hit in a week or so. Haha.....I can't even imagine a year from now.
Maybe a tc, 100w cigalike for $1

Too low, take care, you'll be expelled even from the Tootle Puffer's thread :w00t:
