Need help with voltage/wattage

[Rkb56]

I currently use a e mech transformer mod with either an aspire mini e pen tank or a kanger subtank mini. I cant seem to find the right voltage or wattage for either one! The mini e pen is 1.8 ohms and the Kanger is around .5 ohms. I use mostly vg juice and it always tastes burnt! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not at all familiar with that mod, but I usually start REALLY LOW when I start a tank. First off, were the coils sufficiently primed? For the Kanger, are you using the stock OCCs? If so, you really need to put a number of drops on the wick from the juice holes as well as from the top. Not sure about the mini e pen tank, but I would also suggest at least doing a few dry pulls on the coil BEFORE firing.

Then, for the mini e pen, I'd say start around 8W (or about 3.8V) Nudge up every few hits until you just get a burnt taste, then BACK DOWN! For the Kanger, I'd start around 10-11W and do the same thing.

If you've already fried the wicks, you may just have to replace the coil (or rewick if you're able)

Notice you can't really use the same range for both types of toppers.... Your 0.5ohm Kanger head should be able to withstand 20+ Watts, if you like your vape that warm. The Aspire, you probably won't be able to get it much above 10, if even that.

always start low and move up gradually;
give your coil time for the wick to get wet.
