What wattage do you usually vape?

[Ed Brown]

Oh never mind. I didn't realize this is the Geekvape thread. "latest replies" doesn't tell you what forum you're going to.

OK my Zeus X, two coil RTA on an Aegis something mod is set for 50 watts.

Manufacturers could take note of this thread. So far, nearly all responses have been 50w or lower, with the lion's share below 40w. While I'm sure (I guess) there's a market for 100+, it's most likely a small share. I'd like engineering to start boasting of extended charge life. Yeah, we get longer time by our choice of wattage on a 200w VW device set to 20-40w. But, it just seems to me (logically or not) the device can't be optimized for lower wattage efficiency while engineered for arc welding ability. High capacity cells, with lower discharge rate capability, are my cup-o-tea.

I've always wondered if a 200W mod operating at 20W would last longer. Heat is the enemy of electrical gear and it wouldn't be working very hard.
As for the lower wattages, you've got pods.

To the tune of the spam song: pods pods pods pods, pods pods pods pods, PODS, WONDERFUL PODS......

Holy crap, how'd I do that? It must have been on my clipboard and accidentally got attached. Never mind the attachment.

 

[classwife]

I got that for you

 

[Ed Brown]

Thanks classwife. Nobody needs to see my work timesheet.

No doubt about it. If I were a high wattage vaper, like 100W or above, I probably would invest in DNA mods over Chinese mods. Better components on the board and probably withstand the heat better.

Don't need no stinkin' pods to vape at a reasonable power level. I've been doing it since long before pods became the latest fashion.

I personally think they already know the only reason we pack dual battery mods is for the battery life . But because we buy with faulty marketing they keep it up...lol

It would be nice to see what optimisation would do though..

I think this may be a good point, never mind the pods tangent. If they're engineered to handle cloud chasing, the components may fare better at human vaping levels. Not just the heat, the current itself may be an issue, like LED lights that burn out sooner than they should because of over-driven components.
A hopeful thought for my high-powered devices that'll never be cranked up.

On the other hand, the only regulated mod failures that come to mind for me were problems with switches and/or connectors.

Right and that current causes components to heat up on the board the higher you push the mod. This is the case with all electronics. But the higher quality the components, the longer they will last before they crap out from the heat.

Thats another reason for RDAs on Mech mods. The RDAs get hot. Still don't want to overheat the batteries though. Ordered some heat sinks from banggood. Ever heard of them? They take paypal...

Banggood is legit. I ordered from them a couple time a couple years ago, non-vape stuff.

I use 30W in Zeus Dual and in Zeus X, both 0.24 ohm, both dual coils. I wrapped them identically for scientific purposes

 

[pjmarkert]

8 watts with 16 strength liquid and coils between 1.2 -1.6 ohms,

Exact same for me on a Zeus X.
