Quick question?

[CardsFan502]

So I'm in the process of finally tinkering with this avocado (the 22 version not the 24) and I'm wondering if at 1.72 ohms (single coil), 5.07 volts, what would be a appropriate wattage? I have Sony vtc4 batteries and using 26g kanthal. I like a slightly warm vape but not to hot, haven't even been above 30 watts on any of my devices yet, I'm slowly working my way up lol Any advice would be great, I'm just trying to be safe an cautious and if you haven't noticed I'm quite new to building lol

An appropriate wattage is what is good for you. Start low and increase until happiness is achieved.

If you are asking what watts you are vaping at at 1.72ohms and 5.07v it is 14.94w.
You can use the following calculator --> Ohm's law

Vtc4 should be okay for 20amp, you are only pulling 2.95A on your build.

Hope thats the help you needed

Thank you both for the replies and thanks for the links!

In a single battery mod 15w will draw from 3.6 (fully charged) to 4.7 amps (battery at 3.2v). 4-5.2 amps when accounting for chip inefficiency.

Voltage/Resistance=Amps
Amps*Voltage=watt
Watt=joules/second

That way, you don't need no stinking app or website.. just 25 cents and a thrift store for an old solar powered calculator and you are good to go...

When it comes to vw mods the following applies though:

Watts / battery cutoff voltage = amps

Ideally you should add at least 10% to the watts to account for chip inefficiency. And in both parallel and series setups the amp draw is divided between all batteries.

I didn't realize that regulated mods can be either in series or parallel, and i get even more confused! i always thought that regulated were series and that mechs can be one or the other

The iStick tc100w, for example, is a parallel setup. It'll boost the voltage if more than 4.2v (or whatever the battery voltage is at) is needed. The Cuboid is a series setup. The combined voltage of the batteries means that boosting normally isn't needed and the mod will only buck to take down the voltage to the required level.

Good stuff to know regarding regulated mods: whether they run in series or parallel.
