Anyone actually vaping over 50 watts?

PaulS · Nov 5, 2015

Using my Crown with the .25 coil on a Sigelei 150. I need about 65 watts to taste the juice properly. On my HCigar VT200 I vape my bellus with a .27 build at 35 watts. On my Sigelei 75 I have a Nano vaping at 26 watts with the .5 coil. On my RDAs all my builds are below .2 - and my dual parallel DJK mod I vape at .1 so I'm well over 80 watts. If I stick an RDA on my regulated mods I'm usually vaping 75+ watts.

It all depends on my mood and wether I'm vaping at work or at home. Outside the house I prefer a stealthier vape. I don't need comments from onlookers.

Nice looking, Now if you use temp mode you don't near 60 watts.

In Watt mode with the Quad Coilhead it doesnt even start making decent vapor/flavor until 95w, I normally use it at 120w.
On my Twisted Messes rda when Im running claptons or similar Im lucky if I run under 130w. It all depends on the person and how they vape, I like hot flavorful vapes so I tend to run higher then others, I know many people enjoy a vape under 20w but I dont feel satisfied with that type of vape.
My type of Vaping experience:

Even 70 watts wont get these coils to make any vapor...

Bucky205 · Nov 5, 2015

On my RDA's its rare if I am below 70 watts on my Sigelei 150 TC, average is closer to 100 watts. Warm full vape is what I like when I drip. I have a Kangertech sub ohm mini that I use at work, and while driving at 20 watts, that I also like. That's what's so cool about vaping. Builds, wattage, vg/pg ratios, and flavors all change the experience. Other than staying safe, there is no right or wrong, or what is best for everyone.

On my Paradigm Magma I run a .8 coil at 17 ohms. Just a good solid vape. For those who chase clouds I gotta wonder if you rolled your own huge loosely rolled cigarettes in order to make huge tobacco clouds?

No, I didn't. And I'm willing to bet nobody crunched up fruit loops and mixed them with powdered milk and wrapped those up and smoked them.

I generally vape at 70-80 watts but I do put some builds on a dripper that I vape at 130-150 watts. I have never blown anything up or set anything on fire or vented a battery either. If you understand the concept, you can just as easily have battery failure vaping at 10 watts. Google exploded ego batteries if you doubt that.

A few ex smokers I know who have moved on to the subohm clearomizer, 50+ watt mods are no doubt vaping WAY more than they ever smoked. I get it though, it is still probably a less harmful alternative, but damn, there is rarely a moment that I don't see them exhaling vapor and/or refilling their tanks.

Go through over 50 mls of juice a day? Hey, no problem, at least you are totally free of addiction right?

Back in February of 2008 I saw an ecig being sold at a truck stop. As a trucker, I thought it would be great if it could hold me over while I drove and then my truck and clothes wouldn't smell like an ashtray anymore. It worked and until 2013 I vaped while driving and smoked when I was stopped. Then I got my first mod, and I quit smoking entirely.

I don't have any delusions about it. Of course I'm addicted. Thing is, I was every bit as addicted when I was vaping an Njoy Npro at about 8 watts and smoking Winston when I stopped. I didn't start vaping to kick an addiction. I started vaping to switch a method of obtaining my fix.

I have a mod that goes down to 2 watts. Does anyone vape at 2 watts? I don't know, but if so god bless them. Whatever works for you is cool with me. I'm not one of these guys who lectures people who don't vape the way I do. I think there's room for all of us.

I go through 30-60 a day.
I also only use 1-2mg liquid.
Have to take nic level into account.

Do i vape more then i smoked when i switched? Yep
But, would i be smoking much more now if i hadent switched? Also yes.
So really hard to compair the two.

Het · Nov 6, 2015

Started vaping about 11 months ago. Usually vaped a istick 30 or 50 around 18-22 watts. I had the same question, and thought vaping over 30 watts would be ridiculous. I got a istick 100 amd tfv4, cranked it to 55 watts, just for the hell of it. Now I see what all the hype is about.

I totally get the desire to go bigger better faster more power etc it's the American way right? But is anyone actually using this extra power? What about the safely concerns of pushing the envelope in regards to power? I fear a bunch of freaking 150 watt bombs blowing up/starting fires. Imagine the news frenzy and negative impact this would have on the vaping community as a whole. China isn't exactly known for safe high quality products. I'm not a clone hater and I've purchased from fasttech myself but this is uncharted territory and I for one am hoping it doesn't blow up in or faces.

Tread lightly folks and consider wether or not it's worth the risk.

My everyday vape is a nautilus mini 1.6 ohm at about 10 watts, but pretty much every day for a couple hours i use a dripper, normally at about 0.25 ohms at about 55w. But recently i built using 22awg duel coil 4 wrap coming in around 0.13 ohm, i vape that at around 100w sometimes 130w if I'm adventurous, but it drains the battery like a mofo, but it does chuck clouds and flavour is great, but like i said, i only do it for an hour or two a day just for fun.

LOL, The problem with increased watts is the increased juice consumption. I make most of my own juice, and that helps a lot. But vaping around 100 watts it is easy to go through a 30 ml bottle in a day. If I was sucking down premium juices, it would be a $20 a day habit. Making my own, it is closer to a $2 a day habit.

emsvapor · Nov 6, 2015

I regularly vape at 75-80 watts on a IPV3 LI with a triton tank with the Atlantis 2 coils running down around the point 3 ohm not an overly hot vape but does take some getting used to

Bucky205 · Nov 8, 2015

This was sort of an after thought, but on the same subject. Air flow across the RDA, plays a large part in wattage to vape production. Higher wattage is required to produce the same vape density at higher CFM's of air flow. The human lungs on average hold about 6 liters of air when max inflated. Up to a point, someone running lower wattage could fill their lungs with the same amount of vape as someone running higher wattage, they just couldn't do it as quickly. The physical fact is that the more airflow across an RDA, the higher the wattage required to get the same vape density.

bubbabobobbrain · Nov 19, 2015

When I'm running my mod in wattage mode I generally run it at about 110 watts. I have the tfv4 tank with the quad coil which is about 0.15 ohms so I need the higher wattage just to get it cooking nicely. I have been wondering though how low the ohms would need to be to run even higher wattage. I preordered the 200 watt sigelei mod a few weeks ago and want to try it out in full blast just to see how it goes once I get it, lol

barbaraann72 · Nov 19, 2015

I'm usually in the 60s. Sometimes higher depending on the liquid.

Dtackett5 · Dec 19, 2015

love reviving old threads...

to me, its more about the flavor than the watts. I tend to vape the same thing until the bottle is empty before I move to the next (sig 150 tc with atlantis v1 tank v2 coil) and each flavor comes out best at different watts. right now im doing mourning toki on 0 nic and I run around 50-60 watts and that strawberry comes across nice and smooth and full of flavor. but when I was doing one of the shop mixes (amaretto candy apple) I couldn't run past about 35 watts otherwise it would start to get harsh.

wattage doesn't mean as much as you might think. its more on the vg/pg, specific flavors you want to bring out, whether you like a hot vape or cool vape, what your machine can push, what you coil does best at, and what that specific juice handles best.

mines a simple setup and this is how I run.
.5 kanthal coil @60 watts currently
.1-.2 nickel coil @ 100 joules @450 degrees F (sig uses joules on the 150 tc for some reason and 100 is max for ni)

in the past wattages have been all over the place. however I still have a bit of toying around to do to find whats best for me. my batteries don't last a full day of moderate vaping so I gotta do something about that. thinking about buying a few more batteries and a mech box.

As an older thread progresses we see an evolution happen. Vapers ask, "why do we need these new mods with 200+ watts?".
Simply stated, the future.
Most of the builds at the beginning of the threads emphasize RTAs and lower wattage rated coils ranging from .5 or .6 ohms on the low to 1.8 on the high and all seem to be the more limited airflow style mouth to lung devices. Good starters and you will get your nicotine replacement therapy quite well with these devices and builds with thinner e-liquid and higher nic content. 10 to 35 watts on anything like a nautilus or even the kangertech .5 coils, goodness when in need.
Then you see more sub-ohm posts, Atlantis era tanks and progress from 25-35 watts creeping up to that 40-50 watt mark. Lower resistance rated prebuilt coils. Arctic and kangertech and many other companies start building tanks that can utilize the power available. Just keep in mind that higher watts means quicker ramp, larger and more complex coil structure, oh, and now we want to use different materials... still wanna stress that everywhere seems to push high vg juice, 70%+, and I firmly believe that with prebuilt coils, especially at higher watts, still needs a 50/50 at the thickest, maybe up to 65% vg. Stores won't say a word because it gets you back in the store buying coils and other items... ok back at it...
Now we have the TFV4 out and this thing drinks juice with a thirst and can chuck clouds. Folks hitting the coils in the suggested range of 60-150 watts? What? Yup, but I still believe you're gonna get better life with a thinner mix even in this device (which one of the coils is advertised as being able to handle max vg... not without a primer pull and the patience of a saint! $6 a coil I'd like to last at least a week).
Then there is temp control. Turn it up to 200 watts n let her rip! But throttle the temp to keep the cotton from scorching! Works better in RDAs than prebuilt coils IMHO.

If you make it available someone will find a use. It's just options. I vape my Arctic .2 ohm coils at 70 watts 50/50 juice, 3nic. I vape my CCI TRIFORCE .2 ohm at 90 watts 50/50 juice, 3nic. Ni200 coils at 125 watts and 527degreesF. I also vape a Glacier II RDA with dual Clapton coils, 5 wraps at 2.5mm and it ohms at .2 as well. I get a good vape on that anywhere from 50 watts at the tame side to about 85 on the warmer end. About 75 is my normal. Ramp time makes a difference too. Soft setting is silly to me, but normal and hard seem to get things going well. For mods I have eVic VT (60 watt tc), SMY SDNA 200 and a Koopor Plus 200. I dream of builds to use every watt I have available. For fun...
And the reason I use regulated is because we are human and humans make mistakes. All my mods have loads of safety features to keep me from being ignited by my hobby in more than a figurative sense.
Originally looked at this thread to find info on lower wattage builds because I just ordered a Mini Volt kit (40 watts) and it comes with a mini RDA. Wasn't sure what to do with only 40 watts to build against. How silly of me, right?

Yep.. 4Ow doesn't cut it for me these days...its just that these new 200w mods and tanks like the Tfv4 and Crown plus dripping on RDA's at 75-85w took my vaping to a whole new level.. Very enjoyable..and seems to be just getting better all the time..

FluffiPillows · Jan 1, 2016

Agreed. I kept getting more satisfaction on lower ohm/higher wattage builds. I found out that RDAs aren't that intimidating to build a short while back and now ALL tanks seem like they are insufficient with their puny wick holes and costly coils. I have an RTA on the way from Fastech and I'm hoping to find middle ground there. If not, I don't mind dripping, still cleaner than smoking even if I spill the whole bottle on myself.

I may be the low water (low power) point here at 4.6 watts, 2.4 ohms.

Not that it worries me what others do and if 200 watts makes you happy (and it's safe with your rig and batteries), go for it and have fun!

Just recently I am touching 70 watts with my TFV4. It almost requires it. I do prefer mods with two batteries for battery longevity which lends themselves to be at least 100 watts . Heavens with my kayfuns 15 to 25 watts and a higher ohm build a couple of days with out charging.

It's been a long time since I've been on last but since then I've picked up a 200w box mod that also happens to be temp controlled.

However, I'm not sure how to set the wattage accordingly to my coils.

Right now I have a .2 Clapton in a tank running at 50 watts, and my buddy at the shop said I should run it anywhere between 40-50 watts.

I like a warm vape, with quick draws
So my question is......
Would it be okay to kick it up to 70 watts ?
Should I keep it at 50 watts?
Does keeping the wattage lower save on juice?

Sorry, I'm new to the box mod world... And need some good advice.

Thanks again everyone!

First, whos coil is it, what's the rating, and what does the Mfg recommend? What Mod do you have, and which Tank are you using?
Second, yes you will save juice at a lower wattage but you may be sacrificing flavor and vapor production, if your coil is rated to run higher.
For example, my Crown .25 ohm SS coils are rated for 30-120 watts. I have found that 80-85 is the sweet spot. On my Triton with the .5 ohm Clapton the coil is rated 35-45 watts, and it gives the best Vape at 42.5 after a day of vaping it at 35-36 watts, because you have to break it in slow. Personally I always start low and work my way up slowly. I get longer life from my coils that way and my Vape tastes good. I like a Warm, Thick, Moist Vape, the Triton with the Claptons doesn't get as warm as I like, but it satisfies in all other departments and doesn't drink juice too bad. The Crown drinks juice like a Toddler. I can go through 9+ ml a day if I don't pace it.

With my tanks I rarely go over 35 watts with the exception of using the .6 ohm dual parallel coils in my Herakles, it needs about 60 watts plus to really shine. With my RDA's I run 50-100 depending on the build, and juice I'm vaping.

SOC · Jan 22, 2016

Right now, 80 watts on a 0.25 coil in my Crown. Next week, probably around 150 watts on the octuple claptons in the TFV-4 atop an RX200!

A Triton Mini?
With the Sigelei try the Aspire Ni200 coils, temp control only. Your mod has about a 10 degree variance, but you will end up between 480-520F/ 50-60 joules. As for juice consumption that will depend on you. In my triton I run an average of 5ml a day.

The Juice Loosener · Jan 23, 2016

I occasionally go to 60 or even 70 watts on a fresh Crown 0.25-ohm coil, but once they're broken in I stick between 50-60 watts. Now with the new TF-T4 clapton quads for the TFV4, I vary between 80 and 100 watts. It'll do 120 without burning my mouth, but the flavor is best at 80, IMO. Anything other than those two coil/tank combinations, though, and I rarely see 50 watts, which is fine with me. I like the fact that I can still use my Sig 30W Mini from time to time. The XCube II gets REALLY bulky in my pocket, especially when it's sharing room with my Galaxy Note 3. I'm 6'5" and 230 lbs. so my pockets are pretty big, but even they can get uncomfortable to a big fella like me when I'm toting around 5 pounds of gear in one of them!

i typically vape between 75 or 85 watts however lately on a new build im currently at 115 to 130 on four strand 26 gauge twisted dual coils and that pretty much just to actually warm up and get a hit changing it soon drains my batteries too damn fast i go through about two sets in my sigelei 150 in a day

scootervapes · Jan 24, 2016

Not to sound like I'm too cool, but I'm normally at 120w, either on my snow wolf or rx200, with my sapor. I like a warm vape, and don't like many rdas as they cool the vape too much. I prefer the derringer as a vape, but use the sapor for ease of use (dripping and leaking). I also like the hottest chicken wings i can get, funny thing is I can't tolerate too hot of drinks(cocoa and coffee).

I keep my kayfun handy but I rarely use it anymore. As far as worry for batteries blowing up, people don't understand that its not high wattage causing batteries to explode its having ur watts too low! When I hear people talkin about .3 or .2 ohms firing around 30watts I pray for them! I thought they were crazy but I realize that you need to educate yourselves people!!! Its very dangerous u cud lose ur hand or ur face for that matter. Thats why I decided to just buy 1 really good high watt box so I can use any tank I want n just adjust the watts...now all my little boxes r just sitting in a drawer. U learn as u go. My brother likes to drip so that's another reason for these big boxes. Be safe & Vape on fellow vapors!!

Why would lower power cause a problem?
0.2ohm at 30w is only 12A and 2.44v. Personally it sounds like a very unsatisfying vape, but far from unsafe, if the mod can step down that far. Most vents are from battery issues, improperly using a hybrid, hard shorting a battery or overdrawing the battery.

My builds differ as I trial different wire gauges and atty's but they're usually in the range of 0.3 to 0.7 ohm. I've built higher and sometimes when using a single 18650 mod, it's good to stretch battery life with less power needed to push a higher ohm build... but these days generally in the range of 0.35 to 0.5 and only using a dual battery device. My current box is VV and set to about 4.2V but Ill go up & down. Watts wise... about 50. I have vaped up to 70Watts. Never higher. Don't like it too warm. My current box will (theoretically) put out 180 watts... I'd never use half of that, but the headroom and possibilities are nice. I used to think flavor & clouds were mutually exclusive. They're not. Bypassing the extremes I'm happy getting a flavorful vape with really good plumes. I don't like to fog up a room and flavor can be too intense. I'm with the Buddha... the middle path is best. My bottom line is flavor & battery safety. Always checking my batteries & if it doesn't taste good... why even bother?

Anyone actually vaping over 50 watts?
