Who are you referring to? I don't vape my KFL's over 17w.
OP. I think op is thinking of that study where they took a ce4 and pushed to 5 v to it thus creating formaldehyde. Nobody in the real world would vape a ce4 like that. I can't vape my kayfun above 15 watts due to high vg, the coils I build and how I wick. Plus I like a cooler vape in the Kayfun.

If I singe one of my coils for a split second it tastes like such crap I toss it and can't imagine someone actually using a coil in that condition. Sure frying a coil and inhaling the actual smoke that would come out of your Tank would not be safe or smart but would any actual experienced vaper do something like that?

I guess there are some Darwin Award candidates that would...................

Fair enough, was just trying to clarify is all!
I mix at 60/40, I've managed 20w on a KFL for a short term, but the wick gunks and as you say, it's not very pleasant!
As for the op, they have a very limited use of devices to base their opinions on.
"I remember back in the day" people mixing up carto's and accidentally putting a 1.5ohm on, instead of the 2.5ohm, a stacked battery mod!

Np I get mis-understood A LOT :lol:. The problem with studies is they already "know" what the outcome will be. So they keep testing and testing until they get the outcome they expect. There's studies that say caffeine is bad, there's studies that say caffeine isn't bad. You have to use your' head (and opinion) to decide what to believe.

What they deem is bad for you one year and replaced by something a few years later they find out that the replacement is even worse for.

Yep, I shake my head every time I listen to the possible side effects of Chantix!!!!

No thanks, I'm good.....

I was talking about things like Olive Oil and Egg Yolks. They replaced Olive Oil with all these poly unsaturated and other garbage that now is even worse for you and olive oil is better for you. Instead of changing my eating habits I continued to use it. Getting over this head cold it took really feeling bad to get me to take Tylenol Liquid!

Yeah, it's amazing how you can get the outcome you want if you stack the results enough!
An aside: I went to post an apology in your thread from yesterday, but it got closed as I was typing. My remark wasn't aimed at you, just a generalization of the sensentionalizing media.

I had it deleted, no sense in keeping it on ecf. Stupid of me to post it in the first place. No need to apologize what's done is done.

I think education and experience is key here. I think most of us that have been vaping a while now know that if you push a build beyond its limits of performance then potentially harmful compounds can be released (dry/burnt hits taste like crap no one in their right mind would think that's a good vape).
When you have been vaping as long as some of us here knowing the limits of a build comes as second nature almost but for newbies I can see how it can be hard to gauge with no prior experience.
There's one simple tip that can help. Start with your wattage LOW then slowly increase until you find the vape quality you like. If it starts tasting dry or burnt you have gone too far and you're gonna have a bad time.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I for one feel very lucky indeed to have such an expert, as the OP clearly is, on board to set us all straight. Frankly....I'm not sure how we all survived prior to his arrival. :vapor:
Indeed!

I vape since 4 years...
Very concern about the health i don't use any aroma in my liquid to vape safer...

Probably i mistakes the title cause high wattage doesn't mean nothing...
It is relative to different coils...

What i mean is temperature.
Vape at very high temperature is not safe.
If the aroma change when you raise the volt there is a reason very specific
You have been vaping for 4 years? That's interesting, because a mere 5 days ago, in your introductory thread, you stated you have been vaping for only 3 years. Don't tell me, let me guess....by the end of the week, will your vaping experience then be 6 years? 7 years?

    Wow! I wonder why I can vape my RX200S at 200 watts with a .5 Ohm coil and the temperature up to 500°F in TC mode and still get a smooth, cool pleasurable flavorful vape? Maybe I am doing something right?

    Because TC reduces the wattage. You're probably only vaping at 40 watts.

    With TC you set your wattage high to reduce ramp up time. Once the desired temp. is reached wattage is reduced to just maintain the desired temp.

    Another thing that the op missed is different watts might change the smell and taste but not for the reason he thinks different heat can bring out different flavors but not bad. I vape mentholl or menthol/tobacco and I have noticed I can change the wattage and change the intensity of the menthol

    You think everyone is the same, you think because you've experienced this or that, that's the way it's going to be with everyone and everything.
    If I had a dollar for every person that can't make this distinction...
    Well, I guess I'd be a billionaire, and retired, and not even posting here...
