People have been using sub ohm coils to get higher wattages not available on the more common mods.
Now with the higher wattage mods, they no longer need to restrict them selves to sub ohm coils and can instead experiment with higher ohm coils at high wattage.

Higher wattage will produce more vapor, just as turning up the heat on the stove will boil water faster;

Although the first part of your response is correct I don't think the second part is. If you hit a 2 ohm coil with 20 watts you would need 6.3+ volts of electricity. No mod puts out that much voltage and if you hit 2 ohm coil with 6+ volts it would probably burn out very quickly.

They want higher wattage so they can run there Sub-Ohm coils on a regulated device instead of a Mech Mod. Giving them longer battery life, possibly, and not having to worry about the battery venting gas and or failing. Protecting them and the battery.

Rip Tripper did a review of the box mod, I think it was a GI2, that could go to 100 watts. He was running a .3 ohm coil at 45 watts.

That Mod was delivering 3.67+ volts to the coil. Now if you were running a .1 coil at 3.16 volts you get that 100 watts.

Not true, a DNA30 can put out a maximum of 8.3 volts and 10 amps

We are talking about the new high wattage mods aren't we?
The evolv dna30 puts out up to 8.3 volts.

And as for 6 volts burning out a 2 ohm coil, that depends on the gauge of the wire.
6 volts on a 28 gauge 2 ohm coil wont burn out.

Output Power
7 Watts
30 Watts
Output Voltage
4 Volts
8.3 Volts
Output Current
10 Amps
Atomizer Resistance
.5 Ohms
1.5 Ohms
3.0 Ohms

I stand corrected on the output voltage of the DNA30. What other high wattage chips put out more than 6 volts?

I imagine any 30 watt chip would cater for the standard resistances of 2 and 2.5 ohm; would be silly to sell a 30 watt mod that can't work on a regular ohm coil.

The plain old 15 watt vamo etc are there to boost voltage from 4 volts to as much as 6 volts; that's one of the reasons for the regulated mods in the first place - to get more power to a regular coil by boosting the voltage.

The new higher power regulated mod are just a next step up; instead of stopping at 6 volts they go higher because there is a $demand$ for higher wattage

The guage of the wire will not have that much effect. Running standard pre-build atomizers on 8.4 volt mods and 3-4Ω was very common with early atomizers and early home-built mods. You bought the resistance you wanted to "adjust" the wattage, some vapers even preferred 5Ω attys.....:2cool:

Are you saying 6 volts will burn out a 2 ohm coil @ 28 gauge?

Or not?

That would be a not, but on the old pre-built attys it would be too hot and burn your juice. The wire gauge between the 2Ω attys and the 5Ω attys in an old 306 atty is very slight. Just saying that higher voltages have been used with high resistance atomizers for a very long time, and more common when that was the only option available.....:)

Short answer, because I can, long answer, takes months of building, studying and practicing to be able to get an atomizer to wick and breath properly to handle 30, 50 and 96 watts. So if your able to vape at 30+ watts, you don't need to ask why, you already know.

It does come at a price though. Higher watts burns more amps and juice, and one has to refill more often, change batteries more frequently, but the vape experienced is quite stellar.

Vape is progressive. The more one vapes the better it gets and the more one knows.


Vape long and Prosper.!!!
