My personal theory is that thermal degradation of the juice is kept to a low minimum by using the specific type of coil builds that 1/ disperse heat energy more evenly across the whole surface of the coil very rapidly so as to avoid localized heat buildups aka (semi-) hot spots, and that, at the same time also, 2/ create an adsorption effect sufficiently strong to, DURING the puff from start to finish, if the wicking job is done right and wicks are kept well saturated, keep up with the speed of evaporation so as to prevent small areas from getting partially dry-ish before the person has finished the puff. While it is true the fact that upping the wattage can cause the coils to overheat especially if extra care is not taken to fine tune, very meticulously, and sensibly, with patience, all the other variables also like coil positioning, airflow characteristics, and airflow strength, among various other factors that, due to how these all are part of some combination or system, are interlinked in such a particular way that each one will affect heat dissipation during the evaporation process to some non negligible extent, there are more than a few people out there who truly are specialised in making stuff work. Like, people who possess the logical capacity that will allow theirself to choose the right coils and atomizer for the job, only to begin with... lol
The thing with high wattage vaping is that, because the juice just evaporates so much faster in comparison, while it keeps on flowing out of the cotton wicks fast and flowing vigorously faster through the numerous tiny cavities and crevasses that can be found inside something like, for example, a finely handbuilt alien coil, the juice is exposed to the heated metal surface for a much shorter period of time. As a direct result from this, the gradual-slow thermal degradation of the juice does not occur. By the time it can start to degrade it's already turned to vapor. In fact I can taste the difference very clearly between volatile top notes having been kept unmolested and some of flavorings having been thermally degraded over the course of a number of additional seconds having gone by that could have been made unnecessary through that which the willfully ignorant like to uniformly dismiss under the common denominator they describe as "sub ohming". Persistent stereotyping in this abrasive manner causes cancer, it releases toxins on the internet, data storage facilites will explode, forum discussion threads will be catching on fire, complete with anti nicotine-and-tobacco zealots launching bigger fireworks in order to celebrate that event. I know because I personally have witnessed those kinds of festivities, multiple times in the past.
