So today I received my vision spinner. I tried it out with my pro tank 2, I also installed a 2.5 ohm coil. I started at 3.3 volts and agent up from there. I got to about 3.9 to 4.2 volts. I found that I liked to vape at the lower voltage. I believe it some like 4 to 5 watts. Is it odd that I like to vape at that low of wattage?
Also, I did a little testing. What I found out is, the tanks that came with my 1100 may EVOD I can take a real long puff with out getting a Burt taste and I can vape on it more times than with my pro tanks. What I learned is pro tanks must like a VV system mor than a contest volt system. I am not sure if this is true or if it is the way I vape with my pro tank attached to my evod. However when the pro tank is attached to the spinner it works a hell of a lot better.

Any want to give me your opinions?

Not weird at all. I often raise or lower the voltage (actually wattage on my Itaste 3.0) depending on the liquid I'm vaping, and find myself hanging out much of the time at the low end.

Some juices really want to vape hot, but a lot of others are SO much better at lower power. If everything tasted good at the max, I don't think they'd have bothered with VV models in the first place (nor would they be so popular)

Well I say odd because I see a lot of people say they like to Vale right around 8 watts. I am sure I will find out once my itaste SVD gets here. However as of right now I prefer a low watt.

That's not how it works with a Spinner.

Those people talking about 8 watts are using entirely different setups. You just need to worry about what works for you on YOUR device. :)

No, I know people are talking about different set ups, I know people who vape around 8 watts are using a much more personal setting other than a spinner. I guess I should have said it different. I am doing the math.
Sorry did mean to confuse.

The lower the voltage that you can stand, the better the taste, whether it be a 1.5 ohm, 2.0 ohm or 3.0 ohm coil.
The higher the voltage, the more clouds of vapor you will get.
The trick is finding that happy medium of whats important to you and the only way to do that is with a VV or VW mod.

Even at the lower volts/watts I am still getting good clouds.

Damn when I first bout my evod I wish I knew about the VV/VW.

I beg to differ. Adjusting your resistance will change your wattage just as effectively as adjusting your voltage and both are just different means of adjusting wattage.

Yup. It definitely isn't just about the wattage (or ohms to volts). The wicking material, and how well it can keep up, the style of the coil, and the components of the liquid, duration of your typical drag... they all affect it.

For instance, I too know that a lot of people here like 8 watts. But, I'm vaping HHV Legend right now and can say that it starts to get muted at 7 watts, and burnt tasting beyond that. But, that's with my setup, YMMV.

IMO most of it is about the juice delivery device. I've never vaped a clearo that liked high watts. Cartos are very forgiving and can be vaped quite a bit higher. RBA/RDA's are very adjustable and can be set up to vape well at low power or at very high power. Different devices also taste different with the same juice. Nice to have the variety we have to chose from.

At 4.1 V with a 2.5 ohm coil you are vaping at about 6.7 Watts.

RIGHT!!
When it comes to vaping, there's no need to feel conceited....it's ALL ABOUT YOU!!!:D
What voltage/wattage/battery/tank/clearo/atty/juice "works" for me....or others...may NOT "work" for YOU!!
Safety factors aside (ie., sub-ohm coils on unprotected batteries, etc.).....the most important thing is for YOU to achieve MAXIMUM pleasure from vaping....regardless of whatever route others may take!!!
Find what works FOR YOU......and.....
VAPE ON!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!!

Congratulations on finding your personal sweet spot!

From your range of 3.9 to 4.2V, and assuming
your 2.5Ω heads really are 2.5Ω, it is:
3.9V squared, divided by 2.5Ω = 6.1W to
4.2V squared, divided by 2.5Ω = 7.1W

For your 1.8Ω heads, and again, assuming they
and the 2.5 really are their stated values, these
calculated wattages translate to:
SQRT(6.1W x 1.8Ω) = 3.3V to
SQRT(7.1W x 1.8Ω) = 3.6V

For your 3.7V regulated EVOD batteries, assuming
the 2.5Ω I used to calculate wattage above is
their actual value, you're looking for:
3.7V squared, divided by 7.1W = 1.9Ω to
3.7V squared, divided by 6.1W = 2.2Ω

The Kanger heads tend to err on the higher side. A 1.8Ω head often reads 1.9Ω or 2.0Ω and would be at or beyond the hot end of your sweet spot on your EVOD batteries. A true 2.2Ω head would be at the cool end, with a 2.3 - 2.4 being beyond it. In other words, your sweet spot is probably between the 1.8Ω and 2.2Ω heads on your 3.7V EVOD batteries. The VV lets you adjust for any variance in resistance.

Finally, with VV, you can just ignore all the above and adjust to taste. :D
