Does more wattage equal more flavor or just a warmer vape? In the nautilus mini, Clapton 1.8 ohm at 15 watts flavor is good. With my halo reactor .5 ohm @28 watts flavor is muted and with my vaporesso cCell ceramic, .9 ohm, @30 watts also muted. I've tried different watts low to high but at high its real warm and borderline dry hit.

Watts= amps × volts. Is a function of heat dissipation. So yes, higher watts will increase heat.
Simple explanation above doesn't begin a unravel question you posted.
Go to 'Steam Engine' ,, coils, heat flux, etc for in depth exploration of these concepts..

Much depends upon the coils you are using. Some coils are actually designed to perform best within a certain wattage range. You can find this information with the packaging of the tank/coils you use, or sometimes is actually engraved on the coil itself.
I was curoius about this too. when I moved from my TC40w to my TC120w, I couldnt believe the difference that the extra 20w made! Id put the same atty on the TC40w @ full boar and the TC120w runnin @ ~60w... WOW!
maybe it has to do with the flavor of juice too? I know custards, tobaccos, and fruity flavors all have different steeping times to get to 'the right spot'... maybe it works the same when atomizing E-liquid? different notes become stronger at certain wattage/heat ranges?
PS our coils ATOMIZE our juice not VAPORIZE it, right? cant remember where I heard it but it made sense the way it was put

I thought vaporization happened at a higher temp than atomization. either one would make sense... I guess I inherited something from my Grammar Nazi Parents...lol If I used 'aint' in a sentence at my Dad's Id have to repeat the sentence with "isn't" or "wont"
Here is something I wrote that explains the total heat a particular coil will produce ... This is the way I understand it to be:
___________________________________
Total Coil Heat
This may be a little oversimplified, but here is how I understand how much [total heat] any single coil will produce at a given time:
Heat Flux: Basically how hot the coil gets. As voltage / amps are increased on a coil, Heat Flux obviously increases.
Coil Surface Area: Amount of the coil area that is being heated. Larger the area, the more the total heat.
Both Heat Flux and Coil Surface Area [in combination] will determine exactly how much total heat a particular coil will produce.
1. If you have 2 coils that have the same amount of Coil Surface Area, the coil that is powered up to the highest Heat Flux will give off the most amount of total heat.
2. If you have 2 coils that have the same amount of Heat Flux, the coil with the greatest amount of Coil Surface Area will obviously give off the most amount of total heat.
Now, lets say you have a coil with a Heat Flux of 100 mW/mm² and a Coil Surface Area of 100mm², it will give off the same amount of total heat that a coil that has a Heat Flux of 200, but only a Coil Surface Area of only 50mm²
Likewise, a coil with a Heat Flux of 200 would only need a Coil Surface Area of 50mm² to give off the same amount of total heat as a coil with a Heat Flux of 100, and a Coil Surface Area of 100mm²
The greatest amount of total heat produced by a coil would be a coil that not only has a large Coil Surface Area, but also one that has a high Heat Flux ... of course it takes a lot of power to attain a high Heat Flux on a large Coil Surface Area.
Really, it's pretty simple ... both Heat Flux and the Coil Surface Area work in combination to determine the total heat a coil produces.
