First post! Been vaping for about 1 1/2 months now and have been using a sigelei Zmax for a month. Have been mostly using a a Vivi Nova on it but was going to get a boge F16 carto tank from Surevapes.com and noticed the cartos for it only come in 1.6ohms. Just wondering if there is a max wattage I should not go over with these. I really only use Zmax in RMS mode and adjust the watts. Just don't want to be burning out cartos too quickly. Thanks for the help!
Is there a max wattage I should run for LR cartos on my Zmax?

I usually use this chart right here. http://www.vaporrater.com/images/Safe%20Vaping%20Chart.jpg
I use a rebuildable atomizer though, so I don't know if that chart applies to cartos. Hope this helps.

7.5 watts or so is about the highest you wanna go...
That's said, I vape the same cartotank at around 8watts and love it
Stay out of the red, and you will be fine

thanks for that chart. It is way more informative then the chart I've been using.
The nice thing about a Wattage adjustment as apposed to a voltage adjustment is it remains constant with what ever resistance atty you use. I find that for me between 6 and 10 watts usually does it depending on the condition of the atty and the juice I use. Watts are watts. The exception for that is in dual coil attys. Dual coil attys have two coils in parallel and to get the same effect you have to double the wattage. A lot of batteries don't like them because of the current/amperage they use.
Here are a couple of thing that you may find useful.

The PDF shows a series coil but i have not seen one so far. The reason a dual coil needs double the wattage to get the desired effect is that the wattage is shared between them. They run with a higher current too. The total amperage is double that of a single coil.
