Wattage with drip tip/carto/tank?

[Lyrikal]

Hey all, so I just invested in the booster, thought I'd give it a try cause I didn't want a whole new e-cig, and the price was right for what I wanted it to do. So I'm adding that to an ego 650 mah batt, (3.7v I would assume)... With a LR atty (1.5ohm) and a drip-tip. I get the whole volts x ohms = wattage idea now, so I understand why I wouldn't use LR with HV, as well as HR with low tiny batt. So if I stick with an atty, I'll likely go with a SR (or stock?).

My question is, is there an ideal wattage that I should be pushing?

I noticed that the graphs I've seen red-line at around 12-13 watts. Is that what I should be aiming at, based on "my" set up? Is higher wattage = more vape in any condition?

Also I noticed that if I'm going from my 3.7 volts at 1.5 ohms, it doesn't change the wattage that much from if I go with 4.7 volts at 3 ohms, it's a couple watts, but is that all it takes?

To sum this up. Considering my setup (and wattage), should I stick to the drip, try out carto for a change or give the tank a shot?

Thanks

Higher wattage doesn't necessarily = more vape.
Sometimes it depends on the flavor.
I like my bakery flavors (sugar cookie) at about 8 watts.
Fruits, lower.
Tobacco, higher.

I think 12 watts may end up burning whatever you try to taste, but that's just my opinion.

Total watts isn't the whole picture either. To me, from your example, 4.7V with 3ohms gives me much better quality than 3.7V with 1.5 ohms.

To sum up: try them and see what YOU like. That's what matters.

Really? Because based on this chart http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/469/wattage.png , 3.7v at 1.5 ohms is around 9 watts whereas 4.7v at 3 ohms is approx. in the 7 watt range... I can't seem to make sense of this with that being the case...

Anf if more wattage isn't better then why do vapers go for higher voltage batteries?

Thanks

They usually last longer, you have more of a choice in resistance of cartos and atties,
Also higher the watts seems to make a warmer vape. Some juices will taste better at lower watts while others taste better higher. Those are just some of the reasons.

I think each person has his/her own "sweet spot", but for me it's about 7-8 watts. Higher tan that and it tastes burned, too high nd it curns out the atty, too low and I might as well go back to my 510 Joye

Too many variables to go just by power.

Ambient air temp, humidity, Atty warm up, atty saturation, wicking speed, etc..

Oh no, I have to get on my thinking cap LOL

Seriously, I use wattage on my VVs as sort of a rule of thumb, it seems that different juices also respond differently. Seems like (unscientifically) that the more VG, the longer it takes to wick, so the lower the voltage should be. The lower the voltage (for a fixed resistance) the lower the wattage. Of course, too high a current will blow your atty/carto (which has happened to me several times in building VV's) .. Happy Thanksgiving, Alan
