rda and watts

[jerseyman32]

I plan to start rebuilding next week and. I want to know how many watts my mod should be...i want my coils to be somewhere between 1.3 to 1.8 ohms, will around 11-20 watts be enough

Enough for what? Test out different coil builds to find what's right for you in terms of vapor production, temperature, and flavor.

Yea, that will be enough.

20 watts is all you will ever need if you arent going sub-ohm

BS. A dual coil rda with even 28 gauge wire would be a joke at 20 watts.
OP- you really haven't provided enough information to get a proper answer. What mod and what rda? Answer that and better answers will follow.

1: How many watts you need depends on wire gauge.
Thicker kanthal will need more watts.

2: for 1.3 to 1.8 ohms single coil, 30 gauge kanthal, 11 to 20 watts will be enough.

Thing is, most RDA`s that I have used would just suck at 1.3 or higher. To really get that RDA experience you need to go below 1 ohm.
I have .7 and .4 ohm RDA`s right now and steam engine is telling me the .4 is using about 44 watts, so I would think at least 50 watts to get that thick juicy cloud a RDA is known for.

Not saying a 1.3 ohm cant be done well, I just don`t think it would be worth it in my experience. Maybe a smoke-tech or similar single coil RDA would be OK, as long as its really small, but you would still want to go closer to 1, maybe 1.1 or 1.2 at most.
