Is more watts better?

People always think more watts are better. I run higher watts, but I run low watts at 30 sometimes. If you build a 1.2 ohm coil at 30w in an RDA is great. and I can get just as much vapor as I do with 0.2 ohms at 100 which is great too. Most people who seem to like higher watt box mods build coils that need the power to fire it. I'm happy with my Hexohm, but I'd be perfectly happy with a Vaporshark DNA30.
It depends on the RDA and the build you are using. I only use mechanicals, but 100 watts might be enough for me. 40 watts would be far underpowered.
If you are using clearomizers or some kind of basic device either disposable or with replaceable coil packs, then 40 watts will be fine.
Not sure if you had a typo, or I'm not following your question.
More wattage capability alone does not necessarily make for a "better mod". More watts are nice but not necessary if you don't need them. Higher wattage mods using an internal non-replaceable battery usually have more battery capacity (mah), which is better from a practical standpoint.
One must also consider the overall build quality of a mod. 100 - 150 watts does you no good if the electronics fail in a few weeks of use, or if its not durable enough to withstand a simple fall onto the ground. You may also pay more for a decent warranty or having the ability to return the mod for repair.
There was a recent thread on ECF where the poster was having an issue with removing his batteries easily from the mod because the batteries were fitting so tightly it was tearing the insulator wraps of the battery and making the batteries unsafe for use. This appeared to be a design flaw for the battery compartment of the mod.
I myself had a Segelei/Ovale regulated mod which used two 18350 IMR batteries in parallel. The batteries also fit very tightly in this mod. The battery compartment used flimsy springs which made loading new batteries difficult without using a credit card to assist. I grew so tired of this that the mod eventually saw permanent status in my dresser drawer.
I personally recommend that you go to PBusardo's You Tube Channel and see if he has done a review of the mods that you are interested in. He does a complete, detailed breakdown of the little things which might be a game changer in your choice.

To What Watts Do you Refer?
Mod Watts
Watts Used
Wattage has to match the tank/build(coil/wick) in use.
To little and a mushy messy vape.
To much and a Horrid Hot Dry/Burnt Vape.
So,...........Watch What Watts you use

I use a Itaste MVP2.0 at 10 watts for a year and was fine with the cold vaper, UNTIL i tried a vaper at 30 watts and the vaper was warm. so it all depends on what YOU like, YOUR build, YOUR taste for the e-juice. so if you have a 100 watt device but use it at 30 watts, that fine no one will say too much about it, the thing to remember it's all about your taste. I run a evic-vt at 30 watts. that is my sweet spot for this juice and coil.
now when you get into building you own coild ( if you haven't yet ) you may need the extra wattage to find that sweet spot at say 70 watts.
also the build quality of your device is better with the high priced devices is better then the lower priced devices and may not have to replace it in say a year.
just my thoughts

For your IPv4, it's definitely better to not run it at 100W. It will run cooler and last longer when not being run at its max wattage rating.
You don't buy a sports car because it goes 200. You buy a sports car that goes 200 because it handles better at 65 than your station wagon.
I have a 36 watt device and use it at 35 watts all day to fire my 0.5 ohm coil and it works great. My next mod will be at least 50 if not 100 watts. Should be cheap enough by the time I am ready to order. Have a nice day.
Some people buy things like sigelei 100w or 150w simply for the battery power and in the event that they feel like they want to experiment with builds such as .1 or .2, it works out great. I myself have a sigelei 150w but mostly do .5 ohm coils at 30-40watts. Only a few time have i ever needed 100 watts
If what you use is 10 watts then 20 watts gives you some headroom.
Maybe you vape at 30 watts in the summer, but in the winter, you need 40 or 50 for the same vape.
If you could buy a 2000hp car even though you will only use the power at the track but its easily affordable why not get it. You can still cruise with air on @ 20mph or blast the tires off at 150mph..
Its comes down to style of the mod moreso today because almost all mods are over 15 watts and at 15 watts you can blow billowy clouds and have the warmth but it isn't 110+ watts of option to go further with atomizer and coil building technology.
The options are inexpensive; even the "xpensive mods" are inexpensive to PAD smokers in a month purchase. Pack of smokes here is 10 bucks so that easily 300 per month..

It's better to have and not need than to need and not have, run it where you like it, and if you decide to change tanks, coils or rebuild, you may find you need more power, at least it will be there. I've been vaping almost three months went from little variable volt to istick 50watt and sub ohm tank now rebuilding rda and rta looking to get 100watt mod, if this is your first set up nice choice you probably saved some money.
If you wanna roll at 100w you need 100w. However if you wanna roll at 40 and not swap batteries that same 100w mod will do the trick.
I have 2 100w mods, including a IPV4. I don't go up to 100 very often but its fun sometimes. My Goblin likes 75w and some of my RDA's are nice in the 70 range.
Some of that is going away though. Using old school 18650's battery life is poor even at low watts in the 30-40 range. But dual mods are good sized. My current baby uses LiPo which is small and lighter and lasts all day at 40w. It is by far my favorite mod to date.
I'm finding in the vape world what was true six months ago has nothing to do with today and what was true a week ago is prolly dated.
yes 6 months is a long time in the vaping world i bought my defender 36w and arctic tank 10 days ago and i am ready for an upgrade already. gonna run this one for six months or so and hopefully it'll last that long then it's in with the new and the defender becomes the backup. currently my mpv2 holds that position . by the way the defender is way better than the mvp2 in my opinion and i'm glad i got it . paid 35 quid for the defender and it's nice in terms of quality.
have a nice day.
have a nice day.
Hoping to get the chance to agree with you. Just need them to pick my name before the contest ends.
It's a conspiracy I tell ya ... a conspiracy!
The more watts you use ... the more juice you will buy.
