OK, here's what I have learned today from a couple peeps on the Veritas thread. The new DNA 40, in fact, has a power boost feature integral to the temperature control feature. When pressing the fire button, the power surges quickly to get the coil up to temperature so we don't have to wait for the coils to produce vapor. This was the feature that I found attractive on the new P3. As far as I'm concerned, the P3 is no longer on an elevated field. And also, as far as I'm concerned, this boosting feature is a major game changer. David and I have been griping recently about how the thicker wires take too long to heat up. Our choices were to put up with it or jack up the power. Neither option was good. But with these power surges in the new P3 and DNA40, our problem is solved. Now we can go with thicker gauge wire, not have to worry bout dwell time, and get more area for vapor production. This said, I think it opens up another can of worms (in a good way). It will continue to put more pressure on wicking (not that we haven't already seen this). Will the wicks keep up with the juice demand? I think this puts more pressure on the designers to find better ways to wick. They need to think out of the box...perhaps ditching the whole idea of wicks and go to something like injection. Wicks are carburetors of the car world. Automobiles went to fuel injection in the 80's. Maybe it's time the e-cig world goes to juice injection and eliminate wicks altogether. After that? Maybe another way to create vapor without wire.
Just thinking ahead.
