Vaping at recommended coil wattage

[ConnorH2]

Hi there, I'm new to vaping. I bought myself a Vaporesso Tarot Nano Kit with some 'Traditional ECU coils' with a sticker that says 35-40 watts. Do I need to run it at this voltage? can I go higher? the coils have a ohm of 0.5.

That's an estimated power range that's the coils are supposed to perform at. Which sounds about right for that resistance; I fire single .6Ω coils at 25-30w, and dual coils reading .6Ω at 30-40w. Best to start at the lower end of the range, see how it works then slowly increase as necessary. You don't *need* to run at any particular level other than that satisfies you and is safe.

That range is for best results of a coil and it's longevity. The coil may not be able to keep up with wicking and you will burn your cotton. You can always go lower than the recommended but higher you will kill your coils.

I personally would say YMMV with the rated wattage as a near maximum. I personally vape. .3 ohm rdas at 25w. I like a cooler vape though. Do what feels right. You may burn the cotton above 40 though.

I just bought the Tarot Mini Kit and I'm using the .5ohm 316l coil rated at 25-35watts and I'm running it at 35watts. I've taken it as high as 45watts and it seems like it can't keep up with me chain vaping.

thanks a lot guys, I've been running it on 35. I'll keep it below 40 though

Why would you go higher? Is what you are using unsatisfying?

I'd have to see a traditional ECU (?) coil to know one for sure; might have been before my time, but electricity wasn't. Watts, voltage, Ohmage - wonder if there's a connection?

Maybe there is one.

10A battery will do.

Just prime the coil well, then break it in. Start with low wattage and increase a few watts at a time until your sweet spot. It will likely be under the "recommended, rated" wattage or at the low end of it.

I wouldn't vape over recommended wattage personally. I personally almost always am at below recommended and/or low end of recommended. And I get plenty of vapor/flavor, though I'm not looking for big clouds.

I run most of my Sub Ohm coils way below the recommended wattage but Above Ohm I am more towards the lower end of the range recommended. The sweet spot is what we seek but I take long hits so lower power works better for me.
