kind of a newb with variable wattage and ohms

[pcporter827]

I've got a Tesla and a nautilus with a 1.8 ohm coil attached. What's the safest highest WATTAGE I can run on this without getting a burnt wick? BTW I prime every other hit as to avoid a dry wick. I guess the only reason I ask is so that I can maximize the life span of my coils.

I run mine around 8.5-10 and never experience burning I also did this with my kangers I had. I clean my coils daily tho

I run my nautilus 9-10w and no burnt taste on mine either.

Whatever doesn't taste burnt. Don't overthink this - its as simple as starting at low watts and clicking to the watts setting where you find the vape tastes best. There's no set answer because wick and coil performance can vary even with the same kind of toppers - there are different juices, different taste preferences. If it starts tasting too hot for you or a bit burnt you know your limit - click down to where it tastes right. Then stay at that watts setting. Your Tesla reads the resistance of your coil and sets the volts automatically for the watts - all you need to do is choose the watts setting that tastes just right.

Thanks for asking the question! I was rather wondering the same thing myself.

LOL.....this should be a Sticky.....

depends on the wick and the juice you use... cotton burns before silica and silica "burns" before stainless steel mesh/rope...
some juices burn (toast) before others... I can run Pirates Booty up to 14W on my svd/rsst combo before it goes nasty

I test drove a Nautilus once, could take it up to about 10 watts before wicking issues started. For a low watt atty, not a bad vape at all.

Yep, I have found most clearos with stock coils top out at about 10W.

Heh. I never noticed the stealth kitteh down below. He must be the one what bites!

Same here, my Nautilus was/is good up to 10 watts and then it abruptly starts tasting burnt.
