Warning, this is going to get technical.

Ok, so here it is, I've been building coils for a bit..but delt with a wide spread of cartos, atomizers for longer. Long time ago, in a vapor cloud far away you adjusted the tempeture of your vape by selecting low resistance, medium resistance or High resistance atomizers... Well today we can rebuild our own, so..here are my issues.
I'm out for the purfect vape, awesome battery life and longevity of the wick.
I've found that decreasing the guage of wire increases the duty cycle and amperage (load) required to heat the wire, this reduces the battery life accordingly.
Increasing the guage of the wire requires more volts to run the system but decreases the duty cycle and amperage (load) required, increasing battery life.

My question is this, what is the optimum tempeture that is required to vaporize liquid. I know that most say 6 watt's of heat but translated to actual degrees is the question. Also at what time does the Duty cycle and amperage draw on the graph meet an optimum point for necessary heat to conserve battery life and still produce the needed wattage of heat required to vaporize liquid.

Currently I'm running a Genisis atomizer on an IHybrid at 4/5 wraps of 30 guage Kanthal A-1 at 1.9 ohm. The wire never glows red yet I seem to be getting peak of vapor and flavor. Also no signs of carbon build up on the wire/wick from superheating the liquid is present. I however am still pulling a descent load to run the system, almost a 20% drop in voltage in the battery when the circut is closed.

Just wondering, maybe a bit too much but would be nice to know :)
