Hare Krishna! The great SP has written in SB that sati is perfect for a woman but it should not be forced upon her. So whats her destination after sati? like Vaikuntha heavens or where?

Hare Krishna Siddhartha Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabupada!
Wife voluntarily enters into fire after her husband in order to follow him anywhere he goes. If to hell then to hell (but i do not know if he has such like dedicated wife he will go hell), if he goes to heaven then to heaven, and if he goes to Vaikuntha then she also goes there.
Sati is perfect because chaste woman loves her good husband so much that fire of separation is far more hotter than that simple fire.
And also when woman is un protected then it is not good for her in the sense there are many chances that she will be exploited by other men...
But Kunti Mata could not enter to fire of her husband because she had to look after little princes.
No need to force someone to do that. If husband is a prefect husband than wife will do it with desire.
Your servant,
