It's all about the coils. I've vaped at 150w as a daily driver for a while, now I vape around 100w daily. If your coils are big enough (enough wrap, thick or multiple pieces of wire), you can have a vape at 100w that's still cool. I think the problem is many people see others going to high wattage and think all they need to do is increase the wattage. To go to high watts you need a build for it so that it doesn't burn up or get too hot.

Not saying everyone likes that or wants to try it, but if you want to try high watts, please don't use the same coil you've been using at 50w, it'll hurt. Wrap yourself some bigger coils if you want to try high watts and you won't burn yourself.

It's all about airflow and heat flux. I'm using this new Omega N90 wire at 100w right now. 15 wrap dual coil. It vapes cooler in my Alliance at 100w then my Atlantis at 40w.
