Anyone else vape at low watt/low volt?

[desertrider]

Seems the majority of vapers vape at high watt/high volt. I mostly notice this with mech mods/drip setups.

I have a feeling lower watt/voltage has to do with over the counter attys, as it seems they dont tolerate higher watt/voltage.

Sooo...who vapes at lower settings? I do! Ive got an eVic and nautilus tank, using 1.8ohm attys. I run at 6.5 watts / 3.42 volts.

I run 6 watts or 3.3 volts on my MVP. Now a mech is a different story though

I've been on 3.5v and about 7.5/8.0w 90% of the time and my tanks are usually 1.8/2.0/2.1 ohms

Basically I let the MVP set cruise control, I did up the watts to 8 but it's been plenty for me

I usually have my MVPs set at 8 watts. My husband likes his iTaste VV v3 at 6 watts. Anything more, and his throat starts to hurt.

6.5watts @ 2.5 ohm with a protank/mini protank (or maybe 3.5v)

7.5-8.0 watts @ 2.0 ohm with a dripper

I too wonder about the 11+ watt folks but I think this is more for the vapor. Some say flavor extraction is better but high wattage just "warms" up the juice too much for me and it tastes burnt. All depends on what we vape I suppose.

3.6-4.3 is the range I usually go with

some juices simply taste better on lower settings.. some on higher.. I use whatever tastes the best.

That's the same for me, about 6 watts max. I like flavor, but not throat hit, and I'm glad to hear I'm not alone!

There is more to vaping than Ohms Law, There are also laws of thermodynamics. With an understanding of thermodynamics it becomes easy to make 30 watts vape cooler than 6 watts. The real question is which is more efficient, and how do you as an individual define efficency. It's easy to set this stuff up so that a half dozen hits/day would give you all the nicotine you need, or you can set it up so that you could chain vape all day long on a single battery. Neither would be right, or wrong, for every individual.

I adjust for the taste that I want, and the voltage/resistance/wattage ends up being whatever produces that taste.




sometime it's hard to know which is the right way to go

Around 7 - 9 watts for me, depending on the juice. Using various BCC toppers. I do up it a bit, sometimes, with my SvoeMesto, but even then rarely go over 10 watts. I get as much vapor as I ever got smoke, so why try for more, as long as the flavor comes through?

 

[Purplepeeps]

I haven't gone over 8w. I'm right in the 4v range and prefer 1.8-2.0 coils.

 

[bluecat]

7 watts for me...

 

[Weizenheimer]

Single coiling fruit flavors in a clearo, I can do 6 watts. Dual coiling bakery type flavors in an RDA, I can go up to 20-25 watts.

 

[sneakerpimp]

3.2v with single 2Ω coil… i guess that’s 5w.

amazing flavor, smooth and cool. decent cloud.

 

[amoret]

It depends on the liquid I'm using, but I mostly run about 6-6.5w. I have one of my favorites, though, that is better at 8w. Some end up getting a scorched taste at a pretty low setting.

It's interesting to hear what others are using in terms of power... But on the other hand it's all pretty meaningless without other specific details accompanying it. For example:

Juice - PG/VG ratios, nicotine levels, flavor additives, flavor base (alcohol/non-alcohol/other), other ingredients... water, unicorn tears, etc

Coils - Kanthal, nichrome, ceramic, other, wrap size/diameter total length used

Then there's all the hardware variables... plus to a lesser extent... environmental variables like ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure which can influence vapor production.

 

[Jackstraw]

6 watts max, about 3.75 V, 2.4 ohm

 

[Completely Average]

I tend to vape a 1.5 ohm coil at 8-8.5 watts. That puts me at about 3.5-3.6 volts.

 

[vanillayo]

2.2 ohm at 3.6-4.2 volts. Depends on the juice

 

[klynnn]

7.0/7.5 watts and 2.2 ohm coils or thereabouts , have never felt a need to go any higher.
