I don't completely understand power control... I currently have two rigs, an aspire Atlantis on a CF sub ohm battery and a Kanger sub tank on a smok xpro m45. Obviously the aspire products works best teamed up but the kanger says 15 to 30 watts. I have some electrical background and i know that some situations call for precision power control while others are more lax. From learning with an old vision spinner i know not to over power a coil. But is it possible to under power? Even though the kanger calls for 15-30 watts, I'm comfortable with the vape i get from 6 watts. Can i damage my coil?

Under powered your atty will not damaged your coil, i know that you understand the basic formula so with the low wattage you get lower current that goes through your coil and vaping is about personal taste so if your comfortable with your setup then it is the best for you[emoji4]
Underpowered is objective, not subjective. Obviously there are some devices that simply won't produce any measurable vapor at low power levels, but it's up to you to decide what's enough.
And as to damage, no, low power levels won't damage a coil.
Hello and welcome to the forum danonroof. Glad to have you here!
If that's what you like, no harm. You won't damage your coil.
If anything, the coil will last longer at such a low wattage. Your battery life will be longer as well.
Hi danonroof and welcome to ECF
Power (watts) is basically the amount of heat you put into your atty. Temperature inside the atty is influenced by this to some degree, but it's also influenced by air flow, draw speed, wire gauge and the speed of your wicking.
You can't hurt your gear by using lower power.
Vape it the way it works best for you
How is the taste affected by the wattage? Will it just be less vapor? Or also less taste?
I'm vaping a Kanger Subtank with a 1.2 ohm coil on an iStick 30W right now. I vape around 14W. I just lowered my power down to 6W. It produces some vapor and flavor is reduced. Now that doesn't mean it's bad. My daughter uses eGo style twists with a Kanger Aerotank. She thinks my devices produce too much vapor.
I've got the same tank but with the .5ohm coil and I'm making clouds so thick i can't see my phone.
I also make sure not to buy commercial liquids. The guy that makes my liquids knows how to bring out the flavor so even at low wattage I'm still getting plenty of flavor and plenty of vape. Golden Vapors of Cleveland TN, I live an hour from him amd even with the 10 or so shops near me I'll still make the drive. And i just found out he will ship. Goldenvapors.com
this guy is a OCD but in a good way he makes excellent product
Which coil are you using and it never hurts to under power as others have stated it will most likely make your coils last longer. Vaping is all about personal preference as no one can tell you what you like, thats what makes vaping so great you can customize to your needs as long as your not using analogs thats all that matters. Welcome to ECF and enjoy.
Currently using .5 going to try the 1.2 that came as an extra and see what happens
