To get a larger cloud with more of a throat hit

It doesn't work that way YEOJ. The power, or watts, is what counts for what you want. But the device you're using also has to handle higher watts without burning juice. Let me explain a bit more.

Here's a online Ohm's law calculator. If you plug in 4.8 volts and 2.9 ohms and hit enter you'll see that you have around 8 watts. Then try 3.8 volts and 1.8 ohms and you'll see you also have about 8 watts. Both of these combination will make very similar vapor and TH.

As for how many watts you can get into an atomizer, what you can do is start with the volts low and increase slowly taking a drag each time until you get a slightly burnt hit. Back down a bit and that's the most power you can get from that atty and that juice.

A rule of thumb for single coil clearo tanks is ohms + 2 in volts is a good starting point. So a 2 ohm atty should work at around 4 volts.

Where do you start with a question like this ?
Resistance is only a part of the equation. Airflow, wicking material, juice all play a part in determining your voltage (and your wattage).
If you use a single coil cartomiser with silica wicks and restricted airflow then pretty much anything will burn once you go over 2 volts past resistance (resistance in ohms, say 2.2 + 2 = 4.2v).
If you change one of the variables (increase air-flow or better wicking material) you should be able to go higher. Using higher PG juice may also allow a slighter higher voltage.
The real answer is to try different types of atomisers. Even then if you use stock clearos you are limited to the 5-12ish watts range.
The battery being used will limit your max amps available but that's a story for another day....

pretty sure the spinners have 2.8ish amps so efficient build would be below

there are also apps and
steam-engine.org
are sweet tools for figuring out how to meets goals, how much wire for what resistance etc. and stay safe. most regulated devices will "top out" at their amp limit...then limited to devices max watts or volts. the spinner is just max volt (why it hits harder by 2 watts) where as the mvp has max watt of 11 but they share the same amp rating. but you are more likely to overheat your spinner and fry the connections. both will fire 0.8

Hey guys I have a vision spinner 2 that I want to vape at max voltage which is 4.8 and I am curious what the best resistance for that power is? Currently it tastes burnt at 2.2 ohms how can I get that taste to go away which ohmage would I need?

Technically that depends on the wire gauge.

Try a higher ohm coil or a dual coil if dual coils are available for your tank. Is it a tank?

Vape is all about balance. On must balance gear, skills, knowledge, wick, air, and wire.

Just because one has a mod that will push builds to 100 watts, don't mean they will be able to, without a thorough understanding of how to do so, while enjoying it:D

We all had to start some where, get a firm handle on ohms law, and battery capabilities & safety. Once that is completed, then one has a better foundation to learn about wicking, pressure equalization, thermodynamics of liquids and gases, wicking potential and fluid dynamics.

When a firm grasp is held on these fundamentals, ones vape tends to improve, vastly.


Vape long and Prosper.!!!!
