looking for the sweet spot?

[Cheeks]

I've been vaping about 2 weeks now. Got a micro adc 2 with 1.5 ohm m coil, and a variable voltage Tesla spider. I'm running house made peach e juice from my local vapor shop. I'm paying around with adjustable air flow and voltage and can't make up my mind. I'm looking for good flavor but still keeping juice usage in mind. Anyone with a similar set up have advice to get me in the ball park? A base line to tune from

forget about juice consumption. it is the price of admission.

i'm actually considering making my own liquid. $18 every two weeks isn't as bad as spending $50 on cigs, but it still adds up. at lower resistance, and high voltage, it seems to use more liquid. i'm comfortable at .6-.8 ohm on my mech mod. 30 ml lasts me about 2 weeks.

My voltage range is from like 3 to 6

Is there such a thing as to much voltage for that dual coil clearomizer with that battery?

I usaully enjoy vaping at a 4.0 but ohms are still something that confuses me

That's about where I'm at. I get a popping or frying sound at this voltage, does that mean the voltage is to high?

Do you have similar equipment to me? I don't see much on here about my clearomizer or pv

This is the proper way to set it up. 1st- pick a juice you like. 2nd- start at the bottom and turn it up till you like the way it taste. 3rd- your done. Numbers mean nothing.

Makes me wonder if I have good set up. Didn't do the first bit of online research before I bought

Thanks! As a total noob I appreciate the help. I'm at 4.2v with good throat hit and vapor production, still not as much taste as I would like. I am getting a popping and frying sound at this voltage, didn't know if that was burning up my coil

Yes.

Too much voltage and you can burn some juice and you will keep getting a taste of burnt stuff afterwards on that coil

It's volume of air & liquid that determines how how much you use, not resistance or wattage. The volume is determined by the size of the chamber of the atomizer.

When looking for your sweet spot, you are looking for the AFR (air fuel ratio) that delivers the taste you want. Once you know that ratio, you can make almost any atomizer produce it regardless of the volume of vapor it produces.

For example these two produce almost identical flavor. The one on the left (0.4 ohm) uses about 3 drops/hit, and air from 4 big air holes, the one on the right (2 ohm) gets about 3 hits/drop, and air from two small air holes.
The ratio of air to e-liquid is the same, and the coil temperature is the same, so the flavor is the same. Only the volume of vapor is different.

My voltage range is from like 3 to 6

Standard battery voltage is 3.7 volts, so as a baseline, 3.7 volts should be workable.
The standard ego batteries that come with alot of starter kits are 3.7 volts.

With dual coils, you need higher, because you're powering 2 coils.

Thanks for all the feedback
