Coil Ohms Question

Volts, Watts, Ohms, & Amps

Finding Your Flavor's "Sweet Spot" Using Variable Voltage

Taking the Mystery Out of Variable Wattage

so why would i want to vape with something like a DNA20 mod? when would i ever want to go above 8 watts? im looking into a mod now that goes up to 20 watts. im lost on this one

That chart is a guide for new users. I rarely go below 9watts with cartomizers.

As long as your wick and airflow can keep up, you can put as much power as you want on a coil.

now for such a device as i mentioned, would i wanna go with higher ohms? im just looking to step up from my starter kit and take it to the next level but im not entirely sure what i need

and why would i want higher ohms? i tend to stay around 1.8

One of the main selling points about VV/VW is it allows you to use what you can get to enjoy what you like! It wasn't that long ago that it was a big deal to get ahold of 1.8 ohm carto's (which is all we had). Being able to adjust made it easier to use the 2.5 ohm, or whatever, carto's you had, or could get, and enjoy life!
VV/VW also allows you to suit needs/tastes as the day goes on. I don't Jones so much in the morning but at night I like more of a hit, so I can crank it up some, down some and don't have to change out toppers to do it.
The guide above is "suggested", keep that in mind. Some juices are better lower, some higher. Some people like it around 8 watts, me most times, some at 5 watts, some at 15 watts. This affords you the opportunity to switch it up to see what you like or don't like, without much hassle.

I use 3ohm cartomizers because they gunk up less with sweet flavors, as I mentioned above. With a VW device, I can use a higher voltage than what I would max out at with direct settings..I have a 3.3-5volt or 6-11watt mvp, and others that are 3-6volt or 5-15watt pvs. Using that coil at 9 watts is 5.2volts...6volts is 12watts with that same 3ohm coil.

Resistance with variable devices comes down to preference. Higher resistances, of same wire/build, heat up slower and are cooler, and also drain your battery slower. 3ohm has been my go to after discovering I get less issues with gunk build up..I'd sacrafice battery life for performance if I prefered lower resistances.
