I think I read report some where that vaping at a lower temperature generates less harmful chemicals so it's healthier. I haven't had much luck with temp control, they seem affected by ambient temperature.

Airflow plays a huge roll too. 12w with a pin hole intake will skyrocket temps, compared to 120w with a 2mm x 8mm intake.

Temp control attempts to keep a coil setup from "hot boxing" like a cigarette you take a bunch of quick drags from in a row. Watts does not.
