Hello cdlamb, welcome to ECF.
Well that will depend more on your tastebuds than anything. The best advice here is to try it at different settings and see which tastes/vapes the best to you.
That said, I like my general vape around 9 Watts. Looking at the Calculator that puts the voltage at 4.5V.

Welcome to ECF cdlamb!
Just play around with the settings, you'll find what you like best

welcome... there is no right or wrong answer...just start low and go until you dont like it.. you will find your own sweet spot. It varies by juice and by the tank you are using.
Welcome to the ECF. I say just experiment. You'll quickly find your favorite setting. Also, as the coil heats up, it will burn the juice a little hotter and you may have to adjust down a little.
Glad you made the switch!

A great starting point is double the resistance for voltage. I have an Itaste SVD and mostly run it in VV and just double whatever my tank is reading. Welcome by the way. I had to edit my response after reading it I may have not been clear. If you're using a 2.0 coil...vape around 4 volts. I don't know if the smoketech device you have is VV, but I assume it is. If it has a resistance check....see what it's reading and double for the voltage. Now that's better.

Welcome to the forum. Here's something that could help too. Somewhat simplistic. Volts,Ohms & Watts I still use it. Might think I'd have it memorized by now. 
Happy Vaping!!

Just be careful when researching about vaping voltage and power. There are extreme vapers out there who does sub-ohm coils and vapes at 15 to 100 watts. There is no need to follow them.
I've rebuilt my protank coil head (30ga, 8 wraps, 2.4mm diameter) and it is reading 1.9 ohm. I'm vaping at 3.4 volts / 6 watts. This is abnormally low (my usual vapes are around 8 to 10 watts), but it is giving good vapor and I'm happy. This probably a good example of what the guys above meant by finding your own sweet spot.

Don't worry, it won't damage anything. Good luck, and have fun testing out all the flavor/volt combinations
The worst you can do is get a burnt taste after a shorter period of time with a higher voltage.
I have about the same setup. I start at 3.7 and each hit or 2 up it .1 till I find a good taste usually 3.9
To my knowledge, and others can correct me if I wrong, the lower the ohm the less voltage you need to get the same heat. So your 1.8 might make good flavor at 3.7v and your 2.2 might be better at 4.0 or 4.2v. The instructions that came with your tank there is a little chart that gives the voltage you should run at different ohms. Probably a good idea to use a volt/ohm meter to double check your coils. The replacement ones I got were way off by like .3 or. 4. Also use it to check and make sure your battery is putting out what the dial says.
If you do it correctly it should work. You just need a general idea of the ohm and that there is no short circuit.
Here's a helpful guide if you're interested without having to do a mathematical calculation...
