hi not sure if this is the correct spot for this post..

ok im wanting to get into building my own coils,well use pre built coils atm anyway, i just brought a coil selection box and a Grimm green rda, i just want to know what is the max wattage i can use on each of these coils

coil selection box = ClaptonWire 8 in 1 Pre Built Ready Made Wire Coils Clapton Hive Alien Quad

4x - Mix twisted coil - 0.45ohm ?

4x - Hive coils - 0.5ohm ?

4x - Tiger coils - 0.36ohm ?

4x - Clapton coils - 0.85ohm ?

4x - Quad coils - 0.36ohm ?

4x - Fused clapton coils - 0.45ohm ?

4x - Alien clapton coils - 0.45ohm ?

4x - Flat Twisted coils - 0.36ohm ?

the batteries im useing are 2 x 25R ON THE SMOK ALIEN 220

im trying to learn about ohmes law and all that, but some info just dont stick into the grey matter if you know what i mean, if anyone could be so kind and just copy paste the coils list with the max wattage i can use, thanks

They should all be fine at 120Watts or less (what your device will safely output).
Do you build single or dual coil?

Cheers

On a regulated device (I'm assuming that's what you are using) how much power you put into the coil depends on the mass of the coil (big coils need proportionally more power), how well you have set up the wicking and airflow, and of course how hot a vape you like.
Start at a low power level and increase until vape nirvana is achieved, or you get a burnt hit.
Flavor is affected by many factors but in my experience it is usually inherent in the design of the atomizer.

You will be fine up to 120 watts & it is a regulated mod so I wouldn't worry so much. 25rs are good batteries too!
Ohms law is more important when using a mech really, but use an ohm meter when building just to make sure your at your desired resistance :)

Welcome and glad you joined.
Whats right for you may not be right for another.
I find that the wattage that works for me is usually a few watts over the lowest watt setting (where i can barely see the vape cloud on the exhale). Lower watt settings lessen the chance of burning the liquid and generates the best flavor.
After I get my Atty (coil and chamber heat up) going for awhile, I will often times turn the mod down or up to see if I can taste more flavor. I'm often surprised at how much better tasting the vape can be by adjusting the vape temp/wattage.
