Volts, Watts, ohms?? whets the dang sweet spot!!! Lol

Im curious about this exact problem as well. Im getting my SVD Thursday! And I usually have 1.8ohm atoms, but I was forced to buy 2.5ohm yesterday!

set the SVD to Watt mode, you wont have to worry about the ohm change since the VW will adjust the voltage for you

I picked up an SVD yesterday to learn on the VW settings, and Ive found that with a Protank 2, 2.2 ohm or 2.4 ohm coils, I run 7 watts on the 2.2 and 7.5 watts on the 2.4. Thats what works for me....no burnt taste, nice rich flavor. I set it up in voltage mode too, and I was hovering between 4.0 and 4.3 volts for the best vape on both. Im really liking the wattage mode though as it seems so much easier to get a great vape easily and consistently. Keep tweaking on it and you'll find whats best for your juice/atty combo, and whats best for your taste. We could have the exact same setup, but my taste preference may be different than yours

Been up late last few days. Let's try this again, will 1.5ohm perform better for example flavor or vapor or run my battery more etc. And same question for higher ohms. Still getting used to the ohms an wattage stuffs

If your PV is in Watts mode then judging battery life is easy. (Device regulates the volts based on attached addy to give desired watts.) Higher watts = quicker battery drain

If your PV is in Volts mode then it all depends what the attached Addy resist. Amount of volts against addy resistance will give a certain amount of watts. Voltage alone isn't a good judge for battery drain as higher number doesn't always mean more power is being used. All depends on attached addy.

Addy resist = 1.5 ohm
Voltage setting = 4
Makes for 10.67 Watts

Addy resist = 2.5 ohm
Voltage setting = 5
Makes for 10 Watts

So the first example at a lower voltage is draining the battery quicker because the wattage is higher. If using Voltage mode then knowing your attached addy resist is important and also Ohm law calc your friend

Also. Generally lower resist like 1.5ohm coils generally respond (heat up) quicker but not always if dual coil.

As far as Volts/Watts sweet spot is all depends on how you like your vape. Also type of Addy and juice plays a big role on how hot you can go. As others have mentioned. Try the lower 8-10 watts and then go up gradually.

Hope that helps.

The biggest thing that plays part into coil/wick burn is how well it wicks the liquid. If the coil can stay wet.. it can get pretty hot with no burning. Cartomizers don't handle high power as they don't wick to the coil that well and dry up quite fast. Top coil clearomizers work against gravity and are even worse at keeping the coil wet. Bottom coils are better at keeping the coil wick because gravity helps. Air flow also plays a big factor. To give a reference I'll show what I usually vape different delivery devices at...

Cartomizers: I'll vape around 9-10 watts
Clearomizers (Top coil): I'll vape around 7-8 watts
Clearomizers (Bottom coil): I'll vape around 13-15 watts
RDA & RBA (building coils myself, drilled out air holes): 22-58 watts

I have yet to find a juice that is the culprit of a nasty burny taste. It is always because of poor wicking. If the wick can't keep the coil wet it will burn... If the air flow is restricted it will burn...

Good, we can agree on something.
