Understanding Heat Flux Question

[Marikc0]

Now that I have a sigelei 100w, I would like to move up in wattage. I don't care for cloud chasing, but I currently need to vape at 17W to stay at an acceptable heat flux range (1.2ohm 28GA single coil build). On a mechanical I normally stuck around 0.3-0.5. Anything below that was uncomfortable. I'm using 28 GA Kanthal and have some 26 on order. I played around with steam-engine to see how I could vape at a higher wattage without too much heat. I don't really intend to go above 60W.

A few examples of random builds (to illustrate - I don't use these builds):

26GA 1.0ohm 2.0mm 9.48 wraps 221 heat flux @ 25w (dark green and acceptable range)
28GA 0.5ohm 2.0mm 2.76 wraps 888 heat flux @ 25w (red) - acceptable wattage is around 6W

Since ohms/wattage has such an extreme effect on an acceptable heat range at sub-ohm, I'm a little bit confused because so many people vape at such high wattage, with a large number of wraps and fire their mod for a long period of time without destroying the wick. How are they achieving this?

Find vaping most of the high amp box mods, that builds between 0.5-0.8 ohms work most optimal.

Being able to vape at high watts without destroying the wick, comes down to wicking potential building abilities and skills. My casual vape is 50-60 watts, often vape in the 70's with some flurries into the low 100's. Vape is all about balance, air supply, wicking potential, skills and experience level, all comes into play. Everything effects everything, so when it is all in balance, vape charts are inconsequential. Vape is fluid dynamics, and air flow, have adequate supply of both, and can pretty much Vape the Universe, or something like that.


Vape long and Prosper.!!!
