I personally think ANY technology from ANY manufacturer, if it gets people to put down the cigarette, is good ...... and good for vaping.
Just like it doesn't matter what exercize is better as long as you do it and do it regularly. low tech, high tech, who cares. Just commit to it.
I vape at 6-9 watts, and that is after almost 3 years.
I really don't see vaping higher watts, for ME, as "graduating" to anything. Everyone is different. I'm not the least bit embarrassed lugging my reo mini 14500 or my ego batts anywhere, even to a vaping convention. Because I'm just trying to make myself happy. Hopefully that is what everyone is doing anyway.
