> I love the term “high power” even though we are talking maybe a watt or two when that bad boy’s element is doing its thing!

Your estimate is 1-2 orders of magnitude too low. Small vapes pull a couple amps, as I understand it. Larger vapes can pull over 50-100W. The modded ones into the 200W range. These things can use more power than most CPUs for the brief moment they're on.

The power draw is so high that vape fans compare and review batteries to show which ones can sustain the most power output.

It's an unexpected boon for those of us who use batteries for other things: The vape craze has made more high current batteries available with a lot of user contributed test data.
