Ignore the charts. They were created when most of us were using much higher ohm coils. The way to find your best vape is to start with your battery at its very lowest and slowly dial it up. If you start getting a burnt taste (the beginning of a "dry hit") dial it back down.

Make sure you are priming the coils before you start vaping on them. The wicking material in these coils needs to be thoroughly saturated before using them, and it takes a while when you first load up a new coil. I like to drip a few drops of juice down into the coil where the mesh screen is then put the coil into the tank and let it sit for ten minutes (with the tank full). Give it a few unpowered primer puffs during these ten minutes. This should make sure you get the wick fully saturated.

Just broke out my Nautilus mini yesterday. I find that I need to drive it a bit more than a Kanger dual coil (with the same ohm reading) to get the flavor I'm looking for. On my MVP2 I set it for 11 watts and it is just about right (I like warm vapes). When I do straight voltage on my Aspire CF VV, I can push it all the way to 4.8 watts and still not burn the wick. I've settled it back around 4.5 for normal use there.

Most have advised me to run my 1.8 mini naut at around 4.3 - 4.5 volts. Just seen a the chart for voltage and according to that 3.7 is the highest I should go. Bit confused now Are the charts wrong ?

Ignore the chart? Maybe. But it is still a good starting point.

Ignore people that state you MUST or it is BEST to use any E-Liquid atomizer at X, Y or Z voltage? Yes most definitely.

Find your own sweet spot for the atomizer, ohm coil and juice you are using.

This isn't a contest. It is a way to get off and stay off cigarettes.

I vape on both a Kayfun and Nautilus with BVC. KF @ 1.4 ohms N-BVC @ 1.8. I use 3.4 to 3.8 and once in a while 4 volts for both depending on what I want at that moment.

Your mileage Will Vary.
