This may be a stupid question. Is there a optimal coil resistance/voltage setting for different PG/VG ratios to give the MOST flavor. I'm new and started with Unicorn Milk 70/30 in an Aerotank Mini. 1.6-2.0 ohm coils. Thanx

The optimal setting is the one that works best for you, there's no set formula for a good vape. Welcome to the forum!
Start low and work your way up in power. Stop when you really like the vape. Everyone has their own sweet spot.
A high VG juice is more likely to gunk up coils very quickly. Are you rebuilding the kanger coils?

The lower the coil resistance will provide a warmer vape. The temperature of the vape can also have a slight impact on flavor. A lower resistance coil will also impact battery life (more current drain). If you are using a VV/VW mod the coil resistance factor is negligible, due to being able to vary the power supplied to the atomizer head (coil).
Pg is a better flavor carrier, while Vg is the better vapor producer. To my way of thinking, Vaping is a combination of vapor production and flavor. Taking away too much of either is a bad thing.

That's what I was looking for, which carries the flavor more. I've mostly used Cuttwood Unicorn Milk but have used Adam Bomb Creamy Strawberry. Both of which are 70/30 PG/VG. I've tried some smaller brand at 50/50, wasn't impressed at all. I'm guessing that it's the PG that carries the flavor for me. Either way I will try to st towards the 70/30 range

Congrats and welcome!
This may be helpful. Don't go too high with VG in the Aerotanks. The holes in the coils are small and this may lead to wicking problems and a burnt taste. For the heck of it I ran some Obsession prestige liquid (max VG). It tasted great but toasted the coil pretty quick, this even with 2-3 dry draws between drags to help the juice get into the wick. My advice is to start at 50/50 and go from there.
Using UM at 70/30 VG/PG, I get 2-3 weeks from a coil and great flavor. I'm not a real heavy vapor. I've used 50/50 in the same setup and found the flavor lacking. Cloud chasing is not my goal, quitting analogs is.
Aaahh, so there is NO right answer
The right answer is whatever works for you. I can't tell you what juice will taste good to you only what tastes good to me. I make my juice at 50/50, probably because I couldn't make up my mind. PG does carry flavor better and gives a better throat hit.
