Less watts = more vapor for me?

[darknecrotic]

So let me paint the scene. I'm using an ehpro kayfun on an MVP2. The build I'm using is a 1.4 ohm micro coil of twisted 32 gauge, which I guess is similar to the thickness of 29 gauge (correct me if I'm wrong).

Ok so, generally I vape at 6-8 watts with this build. But once in a while I'll go up to 9-10 watts and I'll experience a hotter vape, more throat hit but less vapor.. If I go up to 11 watts the vape gets even hotter but the vapor decreases even more and the flavor loses its nuances.

I mean, it's no big deal because I prefer to vape at 6-8 watts anyway, but the less vapor at higher wattages just confuses me. It is because I'm using a kayfun?

It sounds like you're not wicking well enough to keep up with the higher power settings. Definitely be hotter and harsher and less vapor. So check that. Different wick materials need different densities through the coil, and you don't mention what you're using. Cotton needs to be a little "loose", rayon a little snug, silica... uh, I can't remember

You might also look at the airflow adjustment, backing out - or even removing - the screw. Greater air flow can help with higher wattages. If your's is the dual air flow model, look through the holes - if you don't see light, the positive pin / screw is slightly mis-aligned and also restricting flow. Easy to remedy, but don't do it assembled, as the positive block may shift and cause an internal short. You need to see that it doesn't move when you tweak the screw.

i totally agree with david and remember high pg ratio eliquid is not good at higher temps, if you want more vapor you need more watts and high vg ratio eliquid

I agree with the previous responses, wicking, airflow and pg/vg ratio.
I'd add coil position in relation to air hole(s) and coil height from deck, also some flavors / flavorings don't do well at higher watt & temps at those power levels the flavorings probably aren't a factor though.
