Speaking of spending money, I'm about to myself BUT, I'm still confused by all of the different levels of wattage that different mods have. As you all know, I/we are fairly new at this and we use (& got started with) Kanger Subvods. .5 ohm coils, 3.7 V. constant and that, thanks to a fellow porcher providing the info and the relevant chart, works out to about 22 watts. That's great and we really enjoy the flavor and amount of vapor we get out of the Subvods with 60/40 juice.
That being said, with the Radii (Same Subvod Top Tank Nano & Coil) 22 W is too much. 19 W or 20 W seems just about right but still not quite as good as the "Stupid Stick". Whatever, I don't get it and probably never will, that's all water under the bridge.
My real question is, If the basic Subvod parameters are your "sweet spot" why would one need a 60 W, 75 W or 200 W mod???
I don't foresee us ever going plus ohm because we started with sub ohm and that's where the flavor (the most important aspect of vaping to us, besides getting our nic.
) better vapor production and quicker heat time is, right? I 'think" I understand that you need more watts to "push" a plus ohm coil but it would seem to me that you'd go through batteries faster and as I said, plus ohming isn't in the foreseeable future anyway.
I've also seen the YouTube videos of the "hardcore" vapers where they have a .2 coil and a mod set at 50W and huff out a big ol' cloud and get all excited and comment what a great hit that was. How could that possibly be enjoyable?
I know I/we still have A LOT to learn and I can already hear "Your tastes are going to change." but I seriously doubt it. We're both on the down hill side of 55, headed for 60. We both smoked the same brand of cigs for over 40 years (So same "flavor" and temperature range.) The narrow variety of flavors we're happy with now will probably be the same forever. The only reason we vape is to remain reformed smokers (we're not "Cloud Chasers" or vape gear geeks (no offense). It could easily be said that we're set in our ways and just looking for some advice on the easiest way to remain reformed smokers through vaping. We would have been perfectly happy to continue on with our Subvods and pre made coils or a Subvod Mega with RBA's if it weren't for the DD. Unfortunately, "simple" isn't an option any more and as relative "newbies" all of the options and variables can be a little overwhelming and daunting, not to mention EXPENSIVE if you're forced into trial by error in a compressed time limit, as we are.
As usual (for me
) this is long and drawn out. The bottom line is; Is there any advantage to a 60, 75 or 200W mod for people like the ones described above or will a relatively inexpensive 40W mod do and, as heavy vapers, I suspect at least a dual battery unit is something to consider. All I know for sure is that we have to get mods that will last and that have replaceable batteries. Eventually, the "plug & plays" won't recharge and won't be able to be replaced.
Thanks in advance, Porchers!
