Still doesn't explain why they made it 400 watts though.
Because they can?
A few years ago, I remember having my svd and my mvp when the first dna20 came out...and thinking "nice....that's a lot of power" and again when the dna40 came out.....this was in an age when most of us were vaping at 8-12 watts....15 watts was pushing it....
Then gradually, the power started getting higher and higher.....sigelei were one of the first to bring out a box mod capable of 100 watts! And I'm sure if you take a read of what we were saying 3 years ago there will be plenty of discussions around that
What's also interesting is that I remember Phil Busardo talking about "sub ohm" vaping....this was a "new" way of vaping that started on the east coast of the USA, And Phil mentioned that "I can't endorse this sort of vaping"
Most of us were building at a minimum of 1.3ohms or higher, and I remember myself and
@whipitup building my taifun that came out at 1.0ohm! And thinking "fuck that" and ripping it out and starting again
My point is that vaping is a relatively new thing, and we've come a long way (baby) in such a short time. Every now and again, something comes along and we think "what the actual fuck is that all about" and we're quick to dismiss it or critique and criticise it.
I'm not saying for one minute that this is the next big leap in vaping technology, just as temp control (or temp limiting) vaping really wasn't the revolution that it was supposed to be....but I digress.....
As I mentioned earlier.....the advantage for me personally would be the battery life (as I guess a lot of people will be too) as I still wouldnt want to push 4 batteries (even in a regulated mod) that hard...and to be honest I don't think many apart from some of the extreme vapers will...and no even them, I'm still not even convinced that they will be able to vape anything at that high a wattage....
