Awww snap! I'm back!

Thanks y'all. Hoping to get a new setup in a few weeks. Currently running my batt at 45w (coil is recommended up to 50w) and full airflow. My taste buds must be coming back to me cuz flavor is good and it produces a nice cloud.

For the sake of safety I'm going to quote Eskie from another thread: "Excessive temperature applied to a PG/VG mixture may result in the production of breakdown products such as formaldehyde..."

Assuming you stay within the manufacturer's recommended range for a coil, I'm guessing/hoping the above is unlikely.

My 0.6 ohm smok coils are marked as: 20-50W, BEST 30-40W. I use them at 32W with my DIY liquid and rarely need to change the power setting unless I'm trying out a new flavour.

Yeah too hot not good. The problem is establishing just how hot you're really running without accurate temp control. There's a very long, and at times extremely technical, thread devoted to this. The temperatures reached are affected by lots of things beyond just wattage/power. More importantly, to the best of my knowledge, no manufacturer of coils that stamp those "recommended wattage" numbers on have no idea what the measured temps are or are established those ranges based on temperature, let alone safe wattage for their devices. A mtl coil like a Nautilus can exceed temperatures that are speculated to be reasonably safe (450-475F) with 10W. A DL coil (I think it was the beast series) was good with higher power relative to expectation likely due to much higher airflow keeping the coil on the cooler side.

There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to safe temperatures and hardware and settings. After all that, we still don't know for sure whether all these manipulations matter in real world vaping as we still don't have data for actual aldehyde production out of an actual vape coil under vape conditions that reach specified temperatures. @mikepetro has done a ton of solid work looking at temperatures in different coil configurations. I'd strongly encourage anyone interested to visit his blog where all the data is assembled in a more understandable and concise manner than that ~200 page thread.

These two posts might be helpful.
Congrats on finding your way back!!!!
