.7 dual coil wattage/voltage - help please!

[MattJ820]

Hello,

I've been running a .7 dual coil on my seven30/big buddha @ 30 watts/5.48 volts. I slapped the buddha on my IPV3 and was trying out higher wattages in increments of 5 watts trying to see if I can get better flavor on my 30/70 green apple juice. I think it tasted better but from all the vaping I was doing, I'm not quite sure if it tasted better or I couldn't tell anymore. I think it did though....

My question is, how do I know what wattage/voltage is too high for my coils? I know that if I get a burnt taste I need to back off but I didn't ever get to that burnt taste. I got up to 70 watts before I quit which was like 7-8 volts? ( I don't remember). At this point, I'm not sure if I should stick to the 30 watts or what wattage is best.


I was going to sell my IPV3 but at this point, I'm not sure if I should. Is 30 watts too low for this build? I know about battery safety plus I'm using regulated devices but I have no idea about dialing in the best wattage to unlock flavor vs. knowing how high is too high for my coils to take.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I honestly find higher wattage with higher ohm's gets you much better flavor. on a mech i will run a .6 or so, on a wattage box 1.6 seems to be my sweet spot in terms of flavor and vapor.

Hi Matt, people vape for different reasons, but for me, it's all about how the vape tastes.

So to directly answer your question, there is no too high, or too low, there is what tastes best to you. Sure, your batteries are not going to last as long vaping at higher wattages, and your coils will not last as long because they will gunk up faster - but turn it to where you prefer the vape.

The thing with dual coils is you do need a higher power device for those higher resistance builds. So your .7 build is 2 X 1.4ohm coils - which is quite a lot of wire to heat up. Sure a lower power device will fire it - but it will take a little while to get them up to temperature.

As I said, 30 watts is fine, 70 watts is fine - all assuming you like the vape.

Hey, as long as she's vaping fine, that's all that matters. And Yes, if it starts tasting burnt, turn it down. Heck, have pushed the Buddha up to 100 watts, no problem.

Best wattage is what taste best and delivers the best vape. Dial it in by taste, that's what we all do in the end anywho. The more watts one uses the more juice one vapes, so if one is getting no added vape satisfaction at a higher setting, then seems best to dial it down a tad, enjoy the same satisfaction and not go through quite so much juice. Just saying.


Vape long and Prosper..!!!

Hey matt I cant go as high as you in power I just dont have it . I use a MVP20 Watt with an RDA in single coil configuration 2.6 ohms with a Magma RDA .
I have found the proper power is what works with what juice I have cheap juices that only need 11-14 watts some of my better juice 12-15 watts but never seem to have the need to go above that or I get the burnt taste . Different power levels bring out different things in a vape. plus how warm of a vape do you want . I found a double coil will produce way more heat than a single coil. I had it set up running two 2.6 coils for a load of 1.3 ohms and it did not seem to heat up as fast I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with the double coils as low as I can go is .9 ohms so I cant build things as a sub. your settings should be what works for what you are using. If it tastes burnt you are using too much power best of luck Remi Love

Dual coils at lower wattages will take more time to heat up then a single coil at the same resistance and wattage. With the dual coils you are running twice as much surface space. Which will take more time to transfer the power across that greater surface area.

Thanks everyone. I think that helps. I'll work on dialing this in.

One thing is certain: 70 watts will deplete your battery much faster than 30, which probably isn't a good trade off for an only slight improvement in flavor.
