Is it not a good idea to go beyond higher watt than it's suggested?

[Lymark]

I'm using the topbox mini with 0.5 Clapton coil. Just switched to a High VG juice for the first time, Honey Blacktea by Tea Up(90%VG). Based on the little guide card from Kanger, I should be vaping at around 15-40watt. However, I find that even at 40watt, I'm unable to get a suffice warm vapor, not until I'm at 50~60 watt. The taste is awesome though.

So, I wonder is it a bad idea to go beyond the suggested limitation? Will I have better luck switching back to the SS/Ni200 coil with TC mode?

Thank you!

The key word is 'suggested'. Every person has different preferences, if you like it at 50-60 watts then that's right for you. Claptoned wire has by design a lot mass which will require additional wattage to bring up to heat over a single strand coil.

I wouldn't take what they have on the coil as being a hard-and-fast rule. If it's working for you at those wattages, go for it!

If you have a coil with a recommended wattage 15-40 watts, what that tells you is where to start:
it means:
- don't waste your time starting from 1 watt and going up 1 watt at a time.
- Start at 15 and go up; don't start at 40

also, you might find it vapes at 50-60 in a cold environment, but 40-50 in a warm environment.

Thanks for the clarification, I initially thought that it was a 'limitation', where I might bust the coil If I go any higher.

I always exceed the speed limit. Is vaping any different?..

Just up your wattage setting to what you like. If the taste begins to drop off or worse yet taste burnt decrease the watts.

The Topbox caps at 75W. With a 0.5Ω coil, you'd be pulling 12-13A As long as you have a battery that can handle the current flow, and you don't burn the wick - vape 'em if you got 'em!

It's all a personal preference my wife prefers running her sub tanks at 6 to 7 watts and the coils say 10 - 26 watts.

As long as you don't get a burnt taste or dry hits your going to be fine.

you can def go higher but it kills the life span instead of lets say lasting 3-4 weeks might last a week before needing to be changed/replaced
