That's my question. I don't know how to properly match the two. What resistance should I use if I want to vape at 9-10 watts consistently? Should I go with a low ohm and low voltage, low ohm and average voltage, or higher ohm and higher voltage? And do watts translate into size of vape clouds and taste?
The resistance of the coil is not the only thing.
A 1.5 ohm single coil out of the box with silica wick might only vape at 5 or 6 watts but if you rewick it with cotton it might vape well at 8 watts.
Meanwhile a 1.5 ohm dual coil out of the box will probably vape well at 10 watts.
The wire thickness (gauge) plays a role also, and you have no idea what gauge was used in the coil you buy; it would typically be 34, 32, or 30 gauge; for this reason, two different coils out of different boxes, with the same ohm may vape completely differently.
People have recoiled kanger coils with 28 gauge (thick) wire, and rewicked with cotton and vape that at 15 watts.
Should I go with a low ohm and low voltage, low ohm and average voltage, or higher ohm and higher voltage?
When you put in a new coil, you need to first make sure it soaks up some juice, then you need to adjust the voltage to the particular coil for the best performance.
Also the performance tends to change over time; I my experience, they get more floody/leaky over time as you use them for consecutive days, and you can vape them at higher watts (which can make them leak more btw).
And do watts translate into size of vape clouds and taste?
Strictly speaking, yes, more watts means you vaporize form eliquid which means more clouds .. but not more taste; too much watts will vape out the liquid from the wick faster than the wicking can replace it, and you end up with burnt taste / dry hit.
