First Sub-Ohm Build Question

[KingDjuls]

Hey guys, I recently picked up an M80 Plus and a Kanger Subtank Mini.

I tried to do my first build following a Youtube video.

I am using 24g Kanthal wire, did a 5 loop wrap and I am getting .22 ohm reading on my M80.

Before I fire this thing up, what watt range should I be in?

 

[edyle]

24 gauge would need 45 watts per ohm
0.2 ohm single coil would take about 10 watts

Kanthal A1
gauge ----- watt per ohm (per coil) for 200mW/mm2
34 ----- 1.4
32 ----- 3
30 ----- 6
28 ----- 10
26 ----- 23
24 ----- 45
22 ----- 91
20 ----- 182

Cool, so I just need to be around the 10 range?

should be around the right temperature at 10 watts; and you just adjust to taste from there.

Can I ask, do you vape at 0.2ohms? And if so, do you vape at 10W? just curious! I couldn't imagine vaping on my 100W sigelei with my atty at 0.2ohms at Only 10W.

It's not that cold Das. Certainly not a build or temperature for myself, and likely you as well... but at 201 mW/mm², not freezing cold.
Come to think of it, considering that at 5 wraps, the coil ID would be a tiny 1mm+/-.... if you increase power much beyond 10 watts, it might broil the wick before you could even get off a 5 second draw. ;-)

I vape my .22 ohm stovetop build at 110-130 watts

Another thing to consider... Does the mod buck voltage? If not, the lowest setting will be much higher then 10 watts
Ohms law puts that at 88 watts @ 4.2 volts
