Why vape at 100w

[wrice4]

I'm curious about this. I just got my ipv2 and love it. It takes my .4-.5 sub ohm and really tastes great at about 35-40 watts. But above that starts to taste burnt. So my question is, why buy a 100w device, like the ipv3 that's coming out? Just to say you can? What rda or whatever would take 100w without tasting burnt?

Should I buy the 100w ipv3 if I have the ipv2? Lol would hate to get it and never use it at that high. Jw why make a 100w.

I wonder the same thing.

I wonder why anyone would want to vape at 30 watts.

Im perfectly content at 8

I cant help but envisioning some of these guys wheeling around a furniture dolly with a couple of car batteries and a fog machine strapped to it.

I use a .2 ohm build. On a fresh charged battery, it pulls around 90 watts from my VTC5.

Clearos provide nowhere near the vapor I want and the draw is pitiful. I like a nice airy draw and a nice cloud. Don't even go through a battery in a day. One or two hits and I'm buzzed on 3 mg.

I'm perfectly content with 20-25 watts on my Cana 30w. That said... I'm also content with my emergency back-up.. an MVP2 topped with a mini protank 2 @ 7.5 watts.

It depends on coil surface. If you have more surface, you can go higher on power without it tasting burnt.

?????? 1.21 gigawats???????

It had to be done lol.

I like my .4 ohm builds, I dont know the watts, but I go thru 2 vtc4s in a day. I vape 3mg a few times a day, rest is 0mg

If you do alot of cloud comps maybe a 100w setup would be good?
I dont see the need for everyday use though.

Why vape at anything over 12 watts? I vape at 6.5 to 7.0 watts and don't like anything higher.

 

[turbocad6]

higher wattage will allow you to use heavier wire and more wraps, which will give you more surface area, better flavor and vapor... your 100 watts comparison to the same coil build you're using at much lower watts is why you say it tastes burnt, but try dual 24 ga coils with a lot of wraps and you'll see that at 25 watts it takes a really long time to heat up and you need a few seconds before it starts producing nicely, not so at 100 watts, you can take a 1.5 second toot and get a really nice vape. it's all about the build, higher watts work well when the build is suited to it and of course you also need bigger airflow too. no one can vape a 30 gauge standard coil at 100 watts

Don't worry about it.

The comment period for Deeming Regulations will end on Friday, and it doesn't look like enough of you care.
So in no time at all the only PV you will be able to buy will be a Blu.

I thought to myself then I moved into dripping and vaping at 30+ watts. It doesn't make sense until you try it, then it's like another world of vaping opened up in front of you.

Meh... everybody thought the world was gonna stop as we know it in 2000 also.

YTK!! .... LOL!!

I wonder why anybody cares what wattage others vape at.

 

[v1k1ng1001]

The primary benefit of the 100w devices is that they will eventually drive down the prices of the 30-50w devices!

I don't use my RDAs that often to be honest so 30-50 is more than enough. I can see why others would want to push the envelope though.

 

[ukeman]

Like Turbocad6 says, different setups can be optimized.
One of the BIG benefits of a 100 watt outfit is it will likely have double 18650's.
Problem those kinds of high watt setups is battery cycle time; running your Hana DNA30 ie. at 30 watts is going to be a hassle charging all the time (single 18650).
A 50w unit with a single batt is ridiculous imo.

I have 2 Raptor chip boxes with double 18650's, and an EMech 30w with doubles too. Hog heaven.
Whether I'm using dual 26g coils or a .6 to 1.0 ohms single coil, I'm getting lots of batt time and any range of resistance I want.

the EMech is not a whole lot bigger than a Hana type box... I don't see why more of that type (30 to 50w; dual 18650's) aren't around.

Op I have the ipv2 50 as well and I was wondering myself how someone will fare with the new sx330 v3 100 watt. Just for the fun of it, I cranked mine up to 50 watts to try it out, I usually vape between 15 to 20 watts so I don't mind a warm vape but it instantly burned my set up. So, I'm wondering as well, which build will be best to stand the 100 watt or even our 50 watt without burning. I know it's build related but I can't answer the question as to what would be the best build and materials to withstand higher wattage vaping. I'm going to be doing some research myself into this because honestly, I'd love to be able to vape closer to the 50 watts. Maybe someone here has the answer but that's a good question and I've wondered myself. For now I'll just enjoy my ipv2 50 between 15 to 20 watts until I get the higher wattage build right..

 

[turbocad6]

yeah, as ukeman says, the higher wattage devices suck up battery power like crazy so they may not be all that practical for the average guy. personally I can get a good build at even as low as 17-20 watts with 28 gauge and I rarely go over 30 watts even though I could, it's just that a build like that will be very power hungry.

now a days I try to balance between a good vape and battery life so I'm normally in the 20-30 watt range even though I can get a better vape at higher wattage on a build made for that, balancing a good vape vs battery life is a tradeoff that everyone needs to find there own sweet spot..,

also another thing not mentioned here but a big part of this is wicking also... you're going to have a really hard time trying to get a self feeding tank type setup up to and over 50 watts, the wicking is not going to keep up so you're going to get burnt taste of course... most higher wattage devices are going to be used by drippers because wicking is going to be able to keep up as long as you keep dripping, or a bottom feeder where you can replenish your wick on each hit if necessary, a vacuum tank setup is going to be almost impossible at these kinds of high power

get yourself some heavier gauge wire to play around at higher wattage. pick up some 26 and 24 gauge to start with, assuming you already have some 28 already or maybe play with some twisted wires. most guys who run high watts are running heavier twisted wires or at least a heavy gauge... when you get a build that takes a really long time t heat up at the lower wattages, that will be the kind of build that will shine at higher power but again, also depends on the device and the wicking, unless your dripping your going to find 50 watts very hard to not burn, trying to do this with a tank will be more frustrating than good... most will say they can't understand how you can go that high but that's because there trying to do it on a setup that's not built for this

If you are getting burnt hits you are either not winding your coils correctly or not wicking correctly. If you build for the wattage you are going to vape you will not have these problems, even at 100watts. This not a failure of the device to vape properly at a given wattage, it's just not built correctly for that wattage. As far as should you buy a 100 watt device? Probably not if you don't want to spend the time to learn to build for the higher wattage. There is a learning curve to build for higher wattage and there are lots of folks here that can help you, you just need to decide if you want to take the time to learn or if you're happy vaping at the wattage you are currently using.

Good post. I have yet to taste a burnt hit on my tobh. I was mainly talking about my tanks (iclear s, nautilus, aerotank)
