Ohms, volts and wattage questions for my vape.

[Vapist999]

My unit is 3-6 volts and 3 to 15 watts. I believe my attachment is 2.1 ohms as it is the stock piece on my itaste. What would be a safe starting point so I won't burn it out? Where do the other users if this vape run it? I have it at 4.4v and 6.5 watts is this ok or too hot?

unless you are using cotton - you are fine to slightly increase your wattage and try it

Depends what tank and juice but you should be fine at 6.5 watts. You only set one or the other. Which ever the last one you set is what your mod uses. You can try to step up your wattage a 1/2 a watt at a time until you taste a slight burnt taste then back down a 1/2 watt.

best thing to do, and what we all fall back on, I'd just dial it in by taste, start off low, vape, hmm, crank it up, hmm, hmm, better, keep going till it don't taste so good then dial it back. Would start off and 6 watts and go from there.

Depending on the gear, batt, atty, skills and preferences of the vaper, the watts vape at will vary widely, vastly even. But we all just mess with it till it taste just right. Least when Variable regulated mods are being used. Don't be surprised if this value changes dramatically as you journey down the Vape Path.

Vape long and Prosper.!!

Exactly as Dice said.. There is no fixed "Set it at this for the best experience..." It all depends on the juice, the build, etc... There's so many factors that will affect it... The coil, the wick, the airflow, and most importantly you... Some people prefer a very warm dense vape... Others prefer a cool thinner vape... Some juices taste better cool and others warm, etc... There's just too many variables... So as he said, start low and work up... Don't worry about "burning out"... You won't... Worst case is you could scorch your wick if you're using cotton... But as long as you go in small increments you'll taste it getting dry/nasty long before you do any actual damage to the wick.. The point is... I can build an RDA and run at 60+watts perfectly.... My kayfun at 25 watts... My wifes Vivi Novi tank won't handle anything higher than about 11 watts... It's just too dependent on too many variables... Just play around and see what you like... If you get to a point where you can't go any higher without getting a burnt taste / dry hits but feel like you still want it warmer or more dense, then you need a different tank/setup...
