Dual coil users have to divide that number by the number of coils. For example, a 1.5ohm dual coil at 6volts is hitting at 12 watts, not 24.
Not even close, lol. I said "warm" not hot. Warm like the real thing. You probably have read some posts by limited experience posters who think anything over 3.7 volt vaping produces hot vapor. It doesn't. There is a reason why so many long time vapers use 5 volt and VW/V model PV's. Vaping at 12.7 watts with an EMDCC is about 4.5 - 4.7 volts which is right in the "sweet spot" for vaping.
Proud to say I am steady at 6v. I like my sweet spot to be slightly warmer than the average! Having a great TH is a plus as well!
Wiz!
Hate to tell you this but a 1.5ohm EMDCC running at 4.7v is only suppling 7.4watts to each coil which is right in the ball park with what many think is about perfect. The EMDCC has 3ohm coils in it, not 1.5ohm coils. The coils are wired in parallel, so you have to calculate the wattage to each coil separately.
The DCC made simple to understand
The reason a DCC has the illusion of being a stronger vape is because your nicotine consumption is greater. Huge cloud of vapor = more nicotine consumed.

As hot as I can without burning the flavor. Usually 5V @ 3ohms on a Provari V2.
I'm right in the neighborhood of 8 to 10 watts being my sweet spot. Usually closer to 8. I rock my 3ohm boges at 5v most of the time, 5.5v if I'm feeling froggy, but I tend to get some dry hits or burnt juice flavor any higher than that. There's so little difference between 8 and 10 watts (for me at least on the juices I vape) that I usually keep it at 8 to conserve juice.
1.7ohm cartos stay between 3.7v and 4v (8 - 9.5 watts) and 2ohm cartos I usually use right at 4.2v (8.82 watts). I don't use dual coils because I don't get as much flavor out of them, and a throat hit that is a bit unpleasant. I smoked 1.5 packs a day of regulars...I don't know how you guys are kicking the DCs up that high without coughing non-stop, LOL.

From my point of view, if you have two coils each producing 12W, then you have 24W. Unless I'm missing something?
Well the wattage (power, heat) is 12w, but the only thing that is multiplied at all is vapor volume. Since the power is the same from both coils you're cooking the juice at 12w.
Ok, so we agree that 6 V on a 1.5 ohm DCC puts out 24 watts of power?
I think that "coil temperature" is a much more complicated function of wattage, coil length that the power is spread over, juice vaporization temperature, juice availability, air flow over that coil, heat lost to wick and filler, blah blah blah.

The highest watts I have vaped at would be 36.5 watts. This was done on my reo grand stacking 2 3.7 volt batteries on a cisco 306 1.5 LR attie. Did I like it? Heck yes I loved it! I was vaping pharmboys black sundae juice (which is awesome at high wattages). My daily wattage is somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 - 26 watts. What can I say.. Some juices just love high wattages .
.
If you group the coils together, yes, 24 total watts, 4 amps...12 watts to each coil. But when you're talking about actually vaporizing juice in two different areas, 12w is the power. You'd get a much different flavor at 24W on a single coil than 12W on a single coil, and I'd be willing to bet that the flavor would be very similar between 12W on a SC and 12W on 2 coils on a DC...the only real difference would be vapor volume.
Absolutly not!
Each coil is running at 12watts. Push 24 watts through a 3ohm single coil if you think it is even close to the same thing, smoke would be coming out your ears!

I go no higher than 10.2 watts on some juices.
I love me a warm vape but the flavor gets to burnt for me.

Usually, I'm at 10 watts. 5v and 2.5 Ω. Definitely on the "hot" side but not exactly a a gold medal contender.
I'm thinking we got sidetracked. For the purposes of this topic, I was interested in the Total Wattage In The Vaporizor, not any other considerations like coil temp, etc.

But that's not really representative of what you're vaping at. You're vaping at 12W on two coils, not 24W.
