so i got me an evic vtc mini. i have i subtank mini using the .5 occ coils which read at .61. i'm vaping it between 40 and 45 watts. if my calculations are correct that's seems about right? i know .5 is in the range of 15 to 60 watts, so a .6 should be in the range 10-12 to 45-60 watts? I always get this jumbled up. Currently i'm running at 43 watts and it's hitting nice. Anything higher and i get that burning feeling in the back of the throat. Correct me if i'm wrong and any and all input welcome.

thanks all

All wrong. it's not a Provari.

(We're still doing this, right...?)

Seriously, the best vape is the one you like. Start low and work up to where you like it with your power settings. You'll know when you go too high, the vape will start to suffer in one way or another.

There is no direct correlation between coil ohms and how much wattage you should apply. It will be different depending on the coil/tank. I have some .5 ohm coils on my subtank that I like around 20-22.5 watts. Anything over 30 watts burns that coil. I have a .5 ohm Atlantis coil in my Starre tank that likes 35-40 watts. Anything over 40 seems to burn on that one.

With regulated mods coil resistance is not directly related to power capability, it's much more about coil surface area. Coil surface area is affected by wire gauge, length and how many wires are used.

For example, if you make a 0.3 ohm build and a 0.6 ohm build using the same number of wires and the same wire gauge for each, you'll find the 0.6 ohm build has a higher power range. The 0.6 ohm build will also take longer to heat up at the same power as the 0.3.

OTOH if you make a 1 ohm build using thin wire and a 1 ohm build using one thick wire the thinner wire will not handle as much power as the thicker one.

Generally, a high ohm setup that vapes the way you want it to will not handle the high power that a good low ohm setup will, but there is a lot more than just resistance involved.

Of course it all changes with a mech mod because with them resistance is what determines watts, so those builds are extremely dependent on resistance.
