Simple question regarding cartos and wattage

[Jorge22]

This is a special one for those who still enjoy cartomisers...

Apart from a clearo here, a clearo there, I'm still and old fashioned carto man because cartos do work. I found, long ago, that the best voltage/wattage for standard Boges (2.8/3.0 ohms) was 4.2v/6.5w. Only, my latest carto purchase was LR Boges (2.0/2.2 ohms). And I have a question for you.

It would seem that if I think in watts instead of volts, as I've been using a mod that's about watts lately, the logical thing to do would be to use my LRs (I'm still finishing my standard ones, so I haven't touched them yet) at the same wattage as the standard: 6.5 w and the device would adjust. But I'm also thinking that if I use my BVCs, for instance (+- 1.8 ohms), I have to set the watts to, say, 11w. BVCs are basically cartos revisited and renewed, right?
So, what do you say? Is my first reasoning correct? That I should use the LRs at the same wattage as I use the standard ones?

Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable opinions.

6.5-8 watts, dependent on e-liquid flow(Thicker is slower and can cause burn out)

No BVC are considerably different and can handle a bit more to a Lot more power depending of wicking capability.

Functionally, a Balance of:
Air
Liquid
Heat

More of any one requires an increase of the other 2 to maintain balance.

I've switched back & forth between SR & LR Boges a million times, and the rule stays the same when using a new carto ... start out low & bring the power up slowly until you get your desired taste.

To be honest, I don't even care what the wattage/voltage is.

Ok. Thanks for the input.

That's what they say, but it doesn't always hold true. For example, I like my Kayfun (1.8 ohms) at around 12.5 watts. But when I put my Derringer (.6 ohm dual coil) at 12.5 watts, I get little to no vapor. I have to turn it up to around 30 watts to get a satisfying vape; if I ran the Kayfun at 30 watts I think it would kill me -- or at least it would probably kill the coil. Variable wattage isn't quite as "set it and forget it" as it's made out to be.

I agree with TJ here. Even with a same-ohm carto the vape changes with a replacement sometimes. I start @ 6 with a new Anything on top.
