Can some one clear up this question for me? Im seeing people vaping rda's at lets say 1.3 Ohm and 5 volts...... WHy?

According to the Ohms law scale wouldn't that give you a burnt taste?

There is more to Getting a Bad, or Good, hit than Ohms Law.

A Burnt Taste just about Always happens when Wicking Can't keep up with the Amount of e-Liquid being Vaporized. When the Wick Runs Dry, there isn't anything for the Heat of the Coil to Exchange Heat with. So you the Coil just gets Hotter. Kinda a Mini "China Syndrome".


In Theory, As long as you can Provide the Necessary amount of e-Liquid to the Wick/Coil to maintain a Heat Exchange, you can use Any amount of Watts (Heat) at your Coil.
 
If you're cooling the wick by whatever means, any wattage is theoretically possible. Mine starts to taste burned at around 10 watts, but my cooling is limited.

With a well-saturated wick that can stay well-saturated and plenty of air flow, the limit is much higher. Both the liquid and the flowing air cool the coil, and there's always liquid ready to be vaporized.

I'm waiting for the first RBA with a radiator system. :)

i have vaped a duel coil rig at 60 watts (30 watts per coil). it made a ton of very very warm vapor. after about 10 big lung hits i pulled off the top cap because i figured i was burning the e-liquid. i was not burning anything, it was just a very warm vape.
i like around 20 watts on an RDA with good airflow (2.5 mm air flow holes). 30 watts is a bit much for me.
