Normally I vape around 40-55 watts. All of my current mods can easily do that. But I'm starting to get annoyed with the finish on my x cube ultra. The paint is fine. But it is really slippery. I was looking at mods that have slightly rubberized finishes, or wraps. I don't really need 200 watts, But I'm not sure if usuing a 75watt mod near it's limit is good for battery efficiency. I knew not to use my 50watt mods at 40+ a few years ago, but I want to know how hard you can push a 75 watt system before you see dramatic reductions in battery life

well it depends on the battry and lots of factors
plus every mod has its own low voltage cutoff
some are 3.0 some are 3.2 some 3.3 so that changes things too
a 75watt mod is usually a single 18650 battery
so you can get a 3000mah battery like a 30q or hg2 to extend you battery life
so if you are only doing 40-55 watts your not taxing the battery at all amp wise since those are 20amp batteries
but if you ar eplanning to run it 70-75 watts constantly your safer with a 30 amp battery but then you cant get a 300mah battery most 30amp batteries are only 1500 mah
but if you do a 20amp battery that is 3000mah just recharge the battery at say 3/4 drain

I knew all of that basic battery info already. Been vaping for about 4 years. But you're saying that vaping a 75watt mod at 55 watts won't affect the efficiency? I use either sony vtc4/5's or LG HG2's. So amp-limit-wise I'm not concerned. I guess I'm more wondering if there is any effect that the wiring in the mod has on how much power you can pump through it before you're putting too much strain any component. I don't want to burn out a board by consistently driving it near its max

oh ok thats different then what i thought you were asking
I have no clue what the difference in running a mod at different wattage levels will have on the wiring and the board itself if any in terms of risking damage to it or reducing the mods life span

My bad. I made it sound like I was asking about batteries. I'm actually wondering about burning out a mod
