As long as you can supply the coil with juice faster than it evaporates, you won't "burn" any of it. Higher watts only means you can boil more juice in a shorter time. Mix it with a sufficient air flow, and it won't be a "hot" vape, either.

So really, it's not your juice that can't be pushed past 10.5-ish watts. It's your current setup. Not saying that's a problem or wrong in any way.

AHHH! This makes sense! Thank you for your explanation!

Just wondering why the fuss over BIG wattage mods. I'm finding my juice can't be pushed past 10.5 (ish) watts before suffering burnt taste.

I'm currently running a 70/30 vg/pg mix in a VTR with either a nautilus or iclear30s.

Can the juice really handle this much wattage?

I am in worse shape than you. I stick around 6.5 watts. Will there be anything left for us if all goes DNA infinity?

Like the people above said, it all depends on how you build your coils. I vape on a coil that has flat ribbon wire wrapped around 30g kanthal and I have it set up as dual coil at around .5 ohms. With this set up I vape at about 30 watts and as long as I keep the cotton nice and juicy, I never have an issue with a burnt hit

Just 'cause I'm a curious guy but how much juice do you go through in a day?

Nope, those toppers cannot handle that much wattage. They just aren't designed for it.


However, let's say you had a mech mod and wanted to subohm. You've got a freshly charged battery pushing 4.2 volts, and a coil that's only 0.3 ohms resistance....

4.2 * 4.2 / 0.3 = 58.8 watts.

When you see really high wattages mentioned, it's strictly for RDA/RBAs with low resistance coils. Retail coils aren't wicked for that type of wattage range.

Nice to see you over here, Jeremy! :)

Yeah the guys above really nailed it. You'll find that when/if you start building your own coils, then you can experiment with higher wattages....the 'premade' coils in the clearomizers you mentioned are simply not designed for higher wattage power....

For instance, I just built a dual coil setup in one of my dripping atomizers, and the resistance came out to 0.5 Ohms. At, say, 4.0 volts in my mechanical mod, I am pushing 32 watts.....Larger diameter wire can handle more power (I used 26ga. Kanthal wire - the wire in your Nautilus is probably much smaller in gauge), hence the higher wattage....and when you combine that with more airflow, you can run setups with higher watts...
