You use how many Watts?

For me it's 18 mg for my stealth mtl travel setup, and 6 mg in all my other stuff. I'm rarely into the 45-50W range with 6 mg, and he only reason I keep the mtl so high is when traveling I can get a quick stealth vape and satisfy my nic needs. Not as pleasurable as my regular vape, but it does the job.
AL85 with 70/30 juice or 50/50 juice 45-55w with 12mg nic, eleaf Istick and nautilus mini 50/50 24mg nic at 15w. those are my daily setups and wattages. YMMV
Yeah I find myself reaching for 9mg tanks much more often. Not sure if I'll ever get down to 6mg only. As long as it's not a cig I'm good with that. Going to start ordering same flavor 6 & 12. Get my 9mg that way.
A very low resistance coil can suck up a lot more watts. My setup, in the description below, is 30 AWG stainless wire, 8 wraps, 1.43 typical resistance, temp control, 150% pre heat for .3 sec, 16 max watts, 380F max temp. When the coil in my rda is super saturated the watts max at 16 and the coil rises to aboout 320 F. When the juice well is dry max watts is about 5 and temp maxes out. My watts are all over the place.

As a few folks have said, maximum watts you can comfortably vape at depends on your atty, the build or head design you have in it and how you vape it. A lot of the atties I like these days, Rose V3, UTA2, Aqua V2, run really well between about 10-30 watts, max around 40'ish, and I set them up for around 20. I currently vape no-nic or 0.75 mg nic juice, 100% PG.
My Aromamizer V1 is set up with a single coil, high in the air chamber and runs at around 25 watts. That atty dual coiled the conventional way is good IMO from about 25 watts up to around 80. It's one of my favorites for at home. Wonderful flavor and nice big tank but it's really hard to get it not to leak when on its side which is why it stays home
My Boreas has a conventional dual coil build in it set up for 30-35 watts. It has wonderful flavor and TH. It will run well IMO between around 25-100 watts (probably more, but I never went higher). When I first got this one I used it at around 50-60 watts for a while. Lately though I've gone to less power in all my builds.
I also occasionally use an RDA I have set up for 70 watts when I feel like it.
I don't chase anything, be it flavor, clouds, or watts. I like a nice (for me) combination of TH and flavor. I have vaped at up to around 100 watts but that got to be too much vapor, too fast for me. I was at 40-50 watts for a few years.
Ultimately it's all about everyone's personal preference in vaping. There is no way a well set up 20 watt vape will ever be the same as a well set up 40 watt (or higher) vape, they are simply a different vape experience. I can get a warm vape from 15 watts and a cool vape from 50 watts, it all depends on the hardware, the build and how I vape them. The only way to find out which you like, if you feel you might like the higher power experience, is to learn how to do it right and then try it. Keep in mind the downside to more power is higher juice consumption (probably not as safe), generally more vapor production (but that can be lowered in other ways) and batteries will need to be charged/changed more often. You'll probably also be getting into bigger mods as you'll probably want multi-battery mods.
If you try it you might also find that each have their place in your vaping tool kit as I have, or maybe not. It's all about what works for you, there's no right or wrong way to do this stuff.

A Lot depends on what type of Atomizer you are using.
I use a NarDa BF RDA on Mech Squonker with a 0.35 Ohms Single SS Coil. On a Freshly charged battery, that comes out to about 45 Watts.
But I also run the Exact Same SS Coil in my Sub/TopTank Mini's. And on them, I rarely go over 18 Watts. For the e-Liquids I use, It just doesn't Taste as good if I go over 18 Watts. And Captain Dry Hit starts to make an Appearance.
Same Coil - Same e-Liquid. But on the RDA, 45 Watts is Flavor Central. But on the Sub/TopTank, 16.5 Watts is the Sweet Spot.
So No, you are probably Not a Weenie. At least not a Wattage Weenie. Can't speak for the Rest.
LOL
I vape 1.5-1.8 ohm coils at about 8 watts. Been vaping for 5 years and never found a need for more.
Many times those who vape with thicker wire need higher watts/volts to heat those wires. I use thinner 28-30 gauge wire which heats up in a snap. Thicker wire gives a much bigger coil (more wraps...more surface area) to get more vapor, but must have higher watts to heat it.

I have a lipo mod and it's VV so I don't know how many watts I'm vaping unless I plug my resistance and my voltage into a calculator. I usually run around .5 and I'm using big coils (around 18g-22g) and I have an RDA that I have a 1.2 coil in using 24g Ka1. All the RDA's or RTA's I use are at least 30mm and mostly 40mm so I have the room. Right now I'm using my Voltrove (41mm RTA that holds 25ml of juice) and it's running coils that are .5 and I'm running it at 11V (242W) but that ME and not YOU.
The way you are comfortable vaping it the way you need to vape. Doesn't matter if you can't get to 75W or not, the way you vape is all that should matter to you. I don't vape at high wattages cause I like the clouds (which I do BUT...) I vape at high wattages cause I get the hit in my chest like I did when I smoked Newports and I have never found another cig or anything that gives me that feeling like high wattages. I have a lipo battery (I have a few of them) cause I got tired of having to carry around extra 18650's (I used a quad 18650 mech...a Hammer of God) and having to charge 8-12 batteries a night taking hours upon hours to have batteries for the next day). I have a 2800mAh 4s lipo that can last me a day and I have a 4000mAh 3s lipo that last me 2 days on 1 charge. Depending on what resistance I'm using I can push it out to 2 1/2 days. These batteries only take an hour to charge so I don't have to worry about carrying extra batteries anymore and with the Voltrove tank I don't have to carry around bottles of juice.
Again, this works for me and wouldn't work for you so do what works for you and vape on!

Thanks, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day. One less thing to worry about. lol.
Well there's no such thing as a wattage weenie lol so don't worry about it xD
I vaped 6mg when i started sub 0hms too, managed to cut to 3mg but went back to 6mg. For some odd reason i thought i was enjoying the throat hit from the 6mg but holy hell it's harsh and cuts the tastes alot. Will vape 3mg no doubt next time xD.
I vape 9mg and get no th. Maybe it's the clapton coils I use. My vapes are pretty smooth considering I usually vape mid priced budget juices.
Tbh it's just like anything else in the vaping world : subjective, what i find unbearable will probably suit someone else. i've seen people vaping 12mg doing dtl no chocking. I just can't handle anything over 6mg,but i like chain vaping a bit and 6mg does not permit me to do so , i get nicotine highs quite easily vaping 6mg ahah.
Then again i vaped 3mg since the beginning of the month (august),that could be why i can't handle as much as i usually did. For me 6mg is more for cravings or when i really feel like vaping and 3mg for all day vapes pretty much.
Between cigc and the strep I got as a kid, I probably have callouses in my throat. lol The only time I feel th is when I stumble across a harsh juice. Airing it out usually takes care of that. Have had a few that I had to trash.
