Hi everyone I just bought a OBS Crius RTA with Velocity and a Kayfun Lite Plus v2 Clone

So with coils how long do they last before making a new one. I would guess you change the cotton with the juice

Do I reduce the Nicotine level when using them. I am not a sub ohm guy.

And does anyone use pre-made coils and where is a good place to get cotton

I usually get a month or so out of a coil set. Mostly, I break them when putting in a new wick. You should change wick (I use rayon, not cotton) when you change juices to avoid the taste changeover, or whenever it gets nappy. I do recommend reducing nic when subohming. It can get overpowering. Try it and set you own level where you're comfortable. And I buy wire and wick on eBay usually. Bulk Kanthal can be purchased at Temco Industrial Power.

High watts are usually to blow big cloud or to reduce ramp up time on complex coil builds. I don't know anybody who doesn't have titanium lips and a refractory throat lining who routinely vapes above 50 watts or so. I use mechs mostly, and coil in the .4-.5 range, so I am normally vaping at 35-40 watts on a fresh battery. I have a 200 Watt Snow Wolf, and I do crank it up to 70 watts to blow cloud on a Fishbone coiled .3 ohms, but anything above that is hot, at least to me. And I don't do it often. When I do the VG accumulates in my lungs and I lay awake at night coughing it up, lol. In the car I have a SX Mini M mod, right now topped with a Fogger V6 dual coiled Kanthal .5, and I run it at 19 watts.

And one more question as far a watts. I have a 50 and 60 watt devices. Will those handle those thanks. With coils I am usually at 13w. But I see 100 and 200 watt devices and have zero idea why.
I'm not familiar with your other tank, but I do know the KFL+ doesn't really have the airflow to support sub-ohm coils or high-wattage vaping. I run mine about 1.8 ohms and really like the way it vapes at 12.5 watts. I've been using it with some pre-wrapped coils that were gifted to me along with the tank itself but I'm on the last one of those, so next time I'll have to wrap the coil myself. I hear a lot of people really like the Kayfun around 1.2-1.3 ohms so I may shoot for somewhere a bit lower than the 1.8's I've been running til now.
