good voltage?

what i would do is try all from 1 to 10 to see what gives me the best flavor for my taste..although you may not get much between 1 to 5 might be to low..but thats what i would do..
Since what is "just right" is very subjective nobody can truthfully answer what will be "the best" for you I always recommend starting low and working your way up until you find your sweet spot, if you turn it up too high you can always bring it back down.
With a 2.0 coil I would think that the higher end of the range would work best. When the power is too low, the ramp up time for the coil takes too long and you can flood the tank by drawing before the coil is hot enough to vaporize the juice. 8 watts or more should most likely work best. This is in my experience and yours may vary. Vape on.
The Mini iStick has a 10 watt cutoff, so any voltage setting over 4.5 is moot... it'll just bump it back down to 4.5 volts to keep the output to 10 watts. That said, the Aerotank should vape great at 10 watts. Bump it up and give it a shot.
depends on the coil.
chances are that coil probably operates at around 3.7 volts because that's just nominal battery voltage
With a variable voltage device the power (watts) you get depends on the combination of volts and ohms you've got. As edyle said, with a 2 ohm head you'll hit the 10 watt limit at 4.5V, so anything higher than 4.5V you set will not actually make any difference.
The watts will be split between the two coils, each getting half of them. I would start at say 3.8V and if that doesn't give you burnt hits increase the voltage a bit at a time until you either get burnt hits or you reach 4.5V. If you get a burnt hit reduce the volts a bit until that goes away. That voltage will be the highest you can go with this tank, head and mod. That voltage and any below that are good for you, it just depends on what voltage in that range you like best. If you switch to lower resistance heads you'll need to repeat this process.
Just fyi, the istick mini has a safety cutoff officially at 1.0 ohms. I've personally had 0.8 ohm coils fire on the device, but nothing lower worked (a "Lo" error message pops up). Kanger makes 0.8 ohm coils for the Aerotank, but I don't think you'd get consistent operating performance out of them. IF you decide to go lower in resistance, keep it at or above 1.0 ohms, just to be safe.
I realize that lower ohm coils will heat up faster, but with the istick mini 10w and the aerotank what difference will lower ohm coils makes?
