Evic Wattage issue

[CarlosGraves]

Howdy,
Somewhat recently, my evic isn't going above 9.6 watts. My ProTank 2 is at 2.6ohms and i love setting my vapes at 10 watts. Any ideas why it won't go above 9.6 at all?

Disclaimer, I don't have an EVIC, but I think it's due to the device being limited to 5 V, and using Ohm's law that would limit you to 9.6 W with a 2.6 Ohm coil...Try a lower resistance coil. With the EVIC's 2.5 A limit, to vape at 10 W, you're limited to 1.6 Ohm to 2.5 Ohm.
Here is a link to an online Ohm's law calculator (on the bottom of the page) if you're lazy like me and don't want to mess with the formulas: Undestanding resistances, LR and HV

I was looking to get an EVIC because I really liked its features, but the low voltage/power rating ended up being the reasons why I ultimately didn't get one...
