1.2 Ohm/3.2v battery .... recommended settings?

[SeaBrz]

Sorry for not doing the research, but tomorrow I am leaving for a trip and appreciate any quick advice.

Yesterday, after purchasing a much-needed new tank, I finally realized that I had to semi-retire my Provari's. Evidently all is about wattage these days and not voltage.

At a local B&M, I grabbed a new iStick 30W and a Kangertech Subtank Nano, found a few Ohm's Law calculator sites, but I am still skeptical about the different setting recommendations I am getting.

Obviously, I do not want the iStick to blow up, but I am not getting the same vaping pleasure I did with the old-style provari and older tanks. Same eliquid, but zero throat hit and little vapor.

Can somebody please just provide me with the settings I need to use for this week?

I PROMISE to come back and contribute more again to this great community.

There are no ' best ' settings, it is a matter of personal preference.
Start off at a low power whether that is volts or watts and slowly increase power taking a vape or three on each setting until you find what you like best.
If you get a burnt taste turn it down.

With the 1.2 coils, the Nano positively shines anywhere between 15-20 watts. Don't go above 25, and you're safe.

Oh my gosh, thank you both for your very informative replies. Someone sent me a PM and reminded me that I am likely seeing horror stories because of mods that should not have happened. I am sure now that is what got me worried.

Cloudmann .. I have cranked my Nano up to 15W and it is delightful. I obviously forgot everything I learned decades ago in trig/calc classes

- Thanks again for advice and calming my fears

I WILL be back

glad that is working for you
old rule of thumb you take your ohm and add 2 to get the volt
so a 1.8ohm would be set at around 3.8v or 7w then adjust according to your own taste....if you start getting dry hits you've pushed it up to high (or need more juice)
but yep it's all about personal preference....i stick in the 8 to 9w range....sometimes for giggles i'll shoot up to 13 - 15 but not for long....and on harsh throat hit juices i go down to 5w...

as for volts vs watts, it's up to you....until i got my istick 30w i never did really get into watts i think being able to see how the volts and watts work together helped a bit for my brain to understand better, there's about .4w to every .1v so using watts you can fine tune a bit more to your own tastes

Glad to hear it. Enjoy the Nano, it's one hell of a tank!
