Heya, lol I litterallyjoined the forum to ask this question cause I couldn't seem to find an anwer online...

So I'm quitting smoking and took up vaping.. :) It's been two weeks and two coils down the bin-bag and Inow can't stand the smell of cigarettes.. :) yup!

I bought myself a VaporessoTarot Nano & am very happy with the results.. so far tried the clapton & ceramic versions but can't really tell the differnce yet, with the exception of wattage and accordingly power usage.

Now....this mod goes up to 80w but I can't seem to find any coils that exceed 40 watt (EUC coils). So what's the point of having an 80w mod??

My only thought that could clarify this is that you can change the atomizer/clearomizer that take higher wattage coils??

Thanks for clarifying this up..:)

Hi and welcome,
Yes,
Toppers and battery devices share the same threading and are therefore mostly interchangeable. (510)

For example: You could put the rebuild-able EHPro True tank on your battery or you could take your tank and attach it to a battery made by Smok, Joyetech, Kanger or just about any other company.

Yes, you're correct. You can use other tanks with that mod, and some tanks have coils with higher recommended watt settings. Or you could use an MTL tank with much lower settings. Two things to remember are that:
  1. The higher the wattage, the less time you'll get between charges.
  2. Running a battery at its limit tends to be fairly hard on the battery and will lower its lifespan.
The recommended wattage for a coil depends on a few factors:
  • Metal type and mass - The more metal that's in a coil, the more power you need to heat it.
  • Juice flow - Juice flow and vaporization cool the coil, so the faster you go through juice the more power you'll need to keep the coil hot.
  • Air flow - Also cools the coil, so higher wattage coils tend to have more air flow.
One more tip - wattage recommendations are often exaggerated. When you start with a new coil, it's a good idea to start with your settings well below the lowest recommended setting and gradually work your way up. Increase the wattage until the vape stops getting better and starts getting worse, then back down to where it was best. That's the 'right' setting for the coil, and it may or may not have much to do with the recommendations.

Congratulations on your first two weeks. I wish you many more!

Similar to, why does an automobile speedometer go up to 120mph when the most common speed limits fall between 20 mph & 75 mph.
Seem like a lot of wasted mph? no, not really it's just numbers on a display.

Some 'tanks' have cross compatible replaceable heads, many don't. Meaning some can use other manufactures heads, some of those can be rated for use at higher wattages than others.
Of course you can use other tanks on your power device that offer heads that use more power.

Higher watts does not translate to a better vape in anyway, inefficiency - e liquid consumption increases, battery run time decreases when using higher power levels.

If you're very happy with the results,, that's all that matters.

If it aint broke don't try to fix it.

Yep...as others have stated it is potentially to allow higher wattage using a different tank/rda/rta. For example I vape most of my RDA's at around 70 watts with the type of coils i build. So in this case it is sensible to have an 80 watt max.

Many of the 80w mods are single battery so at the higher wattages you will run your batteries down quicker...At 200+ watt mods are 2 or 3 battery mods so at your normal vaping wattage they will last longer before they need charging...if that makes sense.

To be honest 80 watts is about all your ever going to need unless you like a really hot vape so the mods at 200w 220w and even 320w are kind of unnecessary really. For me my squonkers are 100w max but all my box mods are 200 w ish...it's nice to know you've got it there if you need it :)

Welcome to the friendly bunch by the way :)

Your thought would be correct. :thumb:

Different tanks or atomizers may use different coils of different coil resistance, which may therefore require more or less power (watts). The recommended wattage range for a drop in coil head can be found on the coil.

Everyone doesn't use or like to use the same wattage range. Some prefer to use under 15 watts. Some vapers prefer to vape over 100 watts. How many watts do you vape at? (2018)

There is also the marketing factor. Manufacturers can only add so many new "features" to a mod, so one way for manufacturers to justify their customers to buy a new mod is to claim the new model can put out more watts than a previous model. The fact is, regulated mods are still limited by the battery or batteries being used in said battery device. Choose batteries by their amp rating and the wattage range you vape at.


WATTAGE PER SINGLE BATTERY on REGULATED MOD:
(Total wattage doubles using 2 batteries; Triples using 3 batteries.)

i as a tootle puffer (lower watt settings and usually higher ohm coils) it's about battery life, the higher the supposed watt limit on the mod, usually the longer the battery will last me using 10 - 20w

yes most devices are 510 threading (unless it's older or some special mod)
keeping in mind though, even though a coil may be rated for 60 - 100w, it still may not perform well, the ratings are really more just suggestions, always start out low (15 - 20w) and then slowly bump your watts up until you reach a vape that you are happy with or it starts tasting burnt.... As well as the higher the watts the hotter the vape will be and the quicker it is going to kill the battery. And make sure you have a battery that can handle running a mod at 60+ watts trying to use anything under 20a could be dangerous or just won't even fire the coil

Welcome and glad you joined.
Some folks are happy vaping at 80 watts.
re:
V12 Prince T-10 Decuple Coils
Resistance: 0.12 Ohms
Wattage Range: 60 - 120 Watts
Recommended Wattage: 80 - 110 Watts
Go figure.
