Question with 0.5 ohm coil

[Happydays882]

hi. I am new to vaping. I recently purchased a smok procolor 225w and it has a 0.5 ohm coil. I can set the watts manually on the device. What is the recommendation of watts for this 0.5 coil? I notice the lower I set it at (30w) I can hardly get any vape while it’s at 50w, it works fine. I just wanna make sure so I dont ruin the device. Thanks

The coil will have some recommendation on it. You can start about 10-15W below and slowly adjust upwards to your liking. You won't ruin the device but if you go too high you'll ruin the coil. If you don't exceed the laser etching on the coil (or whatever it is) you should be fine.

Oh ok. I was confused by that coil thing. I looked at my coil and it says 30-100w. So those ranges are ok?

They should be but I'd be careful with getting near 100W, might get uncomfortably hot and if juice feeding isn't quick enough for some reason the coil will die.

Lol true. Thanks for your help. I’ll keep it at 50w.

Welcome to the forum. Looks as if you found your happy spot and answer to your question.

It depends on the coil. A .5 ohms single kanthal isn't going to take the watts a .5 clapton needs.
Play with it until you find your own sweet spot.

Smok coils are usually overrated watt wise. But rule of thumb I’d start somewhere in the middle of the recommended wattage and go from there. 50 watts should be fine, I wouldn’t go anywhere near 100 though.

Being within the recommended resistance but on the lower side is probably your best bet as far as not overstressing the coil. It seems like your happy place is well below the highest recommended wattage, I would have no hesitations moving to 50 watts if that is where you like the vape. Going below recommended wattage on a coil is usually fine. Going above it will tend to shorten coil life.

Welcome and glad you joined.
I attempt to keep my watts balanced between good clouds with emphases on maximum flavor output at the most cost effective build for me. It all about you and your desires.
