The point wasn't a matter of not liking or ignoring technical details...it was an acknowledgment on just how insignificant that nit picking played out to be in their enjoyment of the device. I mean nobody i know that bought an Istick ended up sitting around thinking to themselves "jesus, i'm having to set this istick's wattage at 9.5w instead of the 11w i run it for the the same vape on my twice as expensive alternative box. F this, after watching PB's video i can't even use this pos anymore". In fact, most of the flaming i did see was coming out of people who didn't even own the device to begin with, while essentially just repeating the same stuff the other guy who didn't own the device either was complaining about before them.
Yes, well...
Never mind that PB bumped it up his testing list because people were already complaining of it running hot and burning their juice.
Never mind that knowing the technical details meant some didn't buy an istick who would have otherwise. They can flame it if they want.
Never mind that the error is usually much more than just 9.5 vs 11 W.
It's impossible to say how many people gave up on their isticks (or didn't buy) because of it, but you can be sure that it's "some". Just as it's "some" that are fine with "just turning it down a bit". The point is, we simply don't know much about those statistics.
I'm still using the two I bought. But I'm also still a complainer (mine are forced to sit at the lowest setting normally). I would have bought a couple more if they didn't have the flaw.
Will I buy a 30W or 50W? I don't know. Maybe the 30W. I note that these later models go down to 2.0V output, so even with incorrect non-RMS calcs could be capable of lower powers than the 20W model.
