Hope this is the correct forum to post this. I am new to the genesis style attys and I have some thoughts on watts and juice flavor. This may be old news, but I could not find a thread dealing with this issue. So my theory is that watts, at least over all watts, means little using the genesis atty (or really any type of atty). Its the linerar wattage that matters and this is why people have problems getting muted flavor and other say they get the best flavor ever.

So here goes:
Set up #1 : 10 wraps of low guage wire, 2 ohm resistance, 4.4 volts and you get 10 watts
Set up #2 : 5 wraps of high guage wire, 2 ohm resistance, 4.4 volts and you get 10 watts

So two different set ups, but the same watts. Do you get the same results from these two. Well no.

In set up one, say it take 10mm of wire per wrap. 100mm of wire. Thats .1 watts per linear mm of wire.
In set up two, the same 10mm of wire per wrap. 50mm of wire. Thats .2 watts per linear mm of wire.

So where the liquid actually contacts the coil, in one set up the wire is producing twice as much heat as the other. I think this is why people are getting scattered results with flovor. Vapor not so much, but as we all know different flavors like different heat.

I know many, many other factors come in to play such as heat sinc, juice type, flavor type, ect. But I think when setting up my attys, I am going to bring this calculation in to play and map it to my juice to see if this theory has merit.

If anyone has any additional ideas or have noticed the same results, please ring in.

These kinda of discussions, vaping watts, have been going on for a while. The advent of dual coils have lead to some rather arcane reasons on why some folks feel more watts are needed. Your numbers help to describe the difference and also illustrate why the one-size-fits-all watts approach is flawed.

When Cisco came out with his LR 510 atties he went with a thicker gauge and more wraps compared to the standard Joyes. Folks seemed to like them.

Here's the latest thread.
