And what about volts
Set the wattage and the device automatically puts voltage at a number determined by the resistance of the coil (? Lol). Wattage and voltage work together, we use wattage usually to set a power output because it is like working with finer increments.
My .28 coil at 62 watts uses 4.17 volts. A .5 coil at 62 watts would be using higher voltage.
Many end up vaping around 4.2 volts though, from what I hear.

My coil is now 0.08 at 65 watts uses 2.53 volts.

The lower the resistance usually the higher the wattage you need to use to heat the coil to a point it is really vaporizing liquid. I personally don't do super low resistance because it is hard to find a balance between ramp up time ( how long the coil takes to heat, and to cool for that matter) and the warmth of the vape.
But with a .08 build I would be tempted to use it well over 100 watts.

You may want remove the rda, and carefully loosen, straighten, and retighten the coil.
Wicked and wet this may be a bit messy - but it's possible you don't have perfect contact. Those coils are pretty uniform, and should be right around 0.18 to 0.2 ohms.

As far as settings - I'd start at something like 35 watts, and then go higher until happy...

I am vaping mine at 45 watts.
My coil read 0.18 on a reader, then read 0.2 on the device when I started using it, and now reads 0.21 (slight increase in resistance after use is fairly normal).

And for me it's weird

Mesh does not scale the same as a regular coil. With regular coils, lowing the resistance usually results in an increase of mass, so the higher power output is needed. With mesh, there is very little change in mass, so a bit of caution is needed with power adjustment to higher levels. 100 watts with a Profile mesh coil will result in dry burns….not nice!
