I believe most if not all hotends use the standard 40watt heater cartridge. Someone correct me here if I am wrong. But so far as I know that is the standard. It is not a temperature issue with pushing a lot of filament. It is a surface area issue because the filament is at room temperature so as it enters the hotend it wants to cool the nozzle and maybe at higher speeds you can actually see a temperature difference between the nozzle that is being cooled by the incoming filament and the heater cartridge. Because we want a specific temperature and cant just go hotter to compensate for the temp drop from the incoming filament at the nozzle we need more surface area of the heating source to overcome the cooling capacity of the incoming filament without just raising temperatures. I hope I have explained this well and cleared up the confusion you were having about volcano hotends. And I will backout of your thread now. Sorry if I was irrelevant.
