I just received my Itaste MVP last night and so far I love it. However, I am wondering if anyone has a resource for recommended voltage/wattage for the various resistance coils out there. I understand that the lower the resistance, the lower the voltage should be, I assume the same rings true for wattage. Is that a correct assumption? Does anyone have a link to a chart of some kind that shows volts and watts recommended for resistance?

I always adjust by taste myself. I read the ohms and get an idea of where to start but then just move up or down depending on taste, vapor, etc. Have found I like most of my tanks at about 4.0 to 4.2 but a few up around 4.5. With watts it is strictly about taste and strength as the mod will adjust the volts accordingly. On the youtube vids all the guys that do reviews seem to be up in the 10-12 range, Rip Tripper pushes up 12-15. Personally I can't even do the 10+ on a tank and usually end up at around 8.5-9.5. YMMV
At the bottom of the chart it says this is based on single coil... how does dual change up the maths?
Sorry if thats a dumb question...
I just got a MVP as well so I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread. I was wondering the same thing. I've just been playing around with different levels so far.
Never a dumb question. Just seeking knowledge.
To be honest, not sure. With the iClear 16 and 30's I have, I start with the chart for the single coil and adjust from there for my taste. Maybe one of the veterans can help us out with this one??Good luck and Happy Vaping!!
Not a dumb question at all. Two coils is double the resistance, which increases the voltage required to run it. Of course the obvious way that dual coil systems counter this is by reducing the resistance of each coil. So, instead of a single 2.4ohm coil you use two 1.8 ohm coils for a total of 3.6 ohms of resistance, which would put the sweet spot right about 5 volts.
That's why you hear about sub-ohm so much. Some RBAs allow 3 or even 4 coils at once. Running a coil at less than 1 ohm resistance brings the voltage requirements back to within what the battery can provide. Four 0.6 ohm coils adds up to 2.4 ohm, the same as that single coil top burning clearo usually comes with.

This is not correct, not even close. A 2ohm dual coil is actually 2 4ohm coils in parallel which gives you an effective resistance of 2ohms in a DC circuit. The reason you can run dual coils at higher voltages is because in a parallel DC circuit, each coil gets half of the total power.
More or less by taste for me... 2.1ohm coil is usually 7.5 watts for me. Or 4 volts.
GENERALLY if you double the ohms, that's a good starting point for volts.
With a 2.0 ohm coil I'll start at 4V and adj up or down slightly
With a 2.3 I'll start at 4.6 and adjust up or down
Using my MVP or VV V3 I'll generally just keep the Power setting at 8W
