Is my W's too low?

Higher VG content and lower nicotine will give you smoother vape at higher watts. Strong flavour can be a problem too. Cheers.
Hi mate,
Pretend you are blowing out birthday candles on a cake.
The speed and intensity of your "candle blow" is about how fast and strong your inhale should be.
Yes..that fast.. make the device whistle, hear the air rushing in... welcome to Sub-ohm vaping.
Keep playing... it will come.
P.S. I'm at .4Ω and 28 watts. Average draw is 2.5-2.7 seconds, whistling the whole time.

Seems perfectly normal to me.
On a 0,5ohm kanthal coil I max out around 9W myself before I find it too harsh with my current set-up. It seems to me you've simply found your limits, there's no need to go over them at all.
But if you're looking for a smoother vape try temperature control if your device supports it (look in to it and make sure you use the right coils first!), I greatly prefer it over wattage mode. No need to throttle the fire button or control your inhale speed whatsoever. Just toke how you like and the device will manage the rest for you.

I would not worry about what power levels other are using. Find the air flow and power level that tastes right for YOU.
The power you push through your coils is all dependent on the coils themselves. I vape ~.24 ohms at 80-90 watts right now because I use clapton coils, which give me a lot more wire mass to heat up. If you use thinner wire or less wraps, you will need much lower power to heat them up. The airflow to your coils also affects the heat.
Steam-engine.org is a great website to get an idea of what your coil will perform like at what power. The heat flux is what you want to watch for the most. Some people like their vape cooler, others warmer. The heat flux numbers will change from green (cool) to orange (warm) and then hot (red). But these are just guidelines and the actual heat will vary on the airflow to your coils.

Everything is Dependent on what you are Using.
I can build a .5ohm coil in a Protank head. Still cannot put more than 10w-15w MAX through it.
Same build(.5ohm) in a Velocity RDA might handle 45 watts.
Simple rule is - If it is to Hot/Dry/Burnt - TURN IT DOWN
