Best wattage to use

[AzPlumber]

Okay, great.
Gotta say, when I see your name, I keep hoping you're a truck driver!

May have something to do with him being face to face with three Cheetahs.

Just start low and increase the wattage till you find your preferred wattage setting. The best wattage is whatever works for you.

No one's mentioned airflow.
Get within a range that's comfortable and then start adjusting the airflow. Less air will produce more flavor, more will give more cloud.

Less airflow could produce more heat as well, so keep that in mind.

Usually I'll start low on new build (unless it's identical) and move up a couple watts at a time. When I find where I wanna be I'll start reducing airflow, then adjust wattage again as needed for the flavor/cloud I want.

As all have said, it's up to you. What I like you may hate, and vice versa.

Above all, have fun.

OK, good point I run 99% of the time wide open! Very rarely I cut the A/F down to saturate a wick because I chain vape 99% of the time.

Now at 28 watts. Nice and cool and flavourful. Air vent almost closed. I might be getting close to nirvana.

My apologies.
I beg for forgiveness.

My velocity is the only thing I can't run full open.

I'm usually about halfway myself. At the moment my Pulse 24 is a little over, on a single coil. Still get great cloud & flavor.

I open up more mostly when I have juice that should be steeping, but I couldn't wait. Cuts down the harshness a bit.

Lol. The handle has a long story, won't get into it here.

So, more experimenting, now at 29 watts and air vent open. Interesting observations, I'm vaping a juice called Morning Ritual from Vape Wild, a combo of tobacco and coffee. When the air vent is closed it tastes like tobacco and when open its more coffee and sweeter.

Wonder why?

Actually there were 5 wild cheetahs that jumped on my car. One even came to see me shooting selfies. Quite the experience!!

Lots of complex flavors will change their profile under different conditions.

Yeah, the cheetahs don't scare me much. But when the cougars come sniffing around, I run home to my wife!
