Hey everyone so I noticed that when I crank my spinner 2 to the highest setting 4.8, it literally burns my wicks. I seen a graph of volts vs ohms and it says for that high of volts I should be using a 3.0 ohm coil is this correct? Would I be able to go to the 4.8 for maximum clouds and not burn wicks at this level? Also what's with sub ohming and how does that work?
Watts, ohms?

Volts x volts / ohm = watts
The lower the ohm, the more watts. The more watts, the bigger the clouds. Your volts should stay between 3.7 and 4.2 depending on your battery.
Basically, if you want to use more power to get more vapor production, you need a lower ohm coil. Raising your voltage too high will just burn your juice.

Increasing the ohms would allow you to increase the voltage and have less chance of buring your wicks, but the increased resistance will also result in less wattage, so you're not really gaining anything. With an adjustable device like the spinner resistance isn't that important. I would suspect your atomizer just can't handle the power you're putting to it. An atomizer with improved air and juice flow over what you have now would probably handle increased power more easily. I wrote an entire blog post on Ohm's Law and how to use it, link in my signature if you want to check it out.
Most subohm devices have a <1 ohm coil, high juice and airflow. This allows them to be run at higher power and produce more vapor. You need a battery that can safely supply the power needed for subohm atomizers.

Watts is the main indicator of the vapor production and "strength" of the vape you'll get.
A 3 Ohm coil at 4.8 volts will give you about 7.68 watts, which is pretty low. A 1.5 Ohm coil will give you a similar 7.68 watt vape at only 3.4 volts. If you crank the spinner up to 4.8 volts with a 1.5 Ohm coil you'll be vaping at 15.36 watts. If your wicks are getting burnt and you're getting dry hits at 4.8 volts then your atomizer can not handle that much power. It can't flow enough liquid and air at that power to keep the coil from overheating.
You should adjust the voltage to a level where you like the vape, but not so high it overheats.

Your goal shouldn't be to use 4.8 volts, your goal should be to have the best possible experience. And at 4.8 volts, thats not happening. You're just going to burn your wick. You need a different tank that has different coils, like the Atlantis or subtank. And a better battery with variable wattage, like an mvp 3.
Welcome dennon.
Why do you *HAVE* to run at 4.8V? (Just because my car's speedometer goes to 140MPH doesn't mean I have to drive my car that fast.) I used a couple of Spinners in the past, and they worked amazingly well with a 1.8-2.1 ohm coil. I never had the need to run upwards of the 4.8V, but more like 3.8-4.2V.
I can't put my hands on a definitive spec, but I believe the Amp limit is about 3A which means the lowest-ohmmed coil you might be able to run would only be about 1.1-1.2 ohms.
If you like using a 3ohm coil, simply turn back the voltage, and you'll be less likely to burn the wick. 3-ohm coils likely use very thin wire (32 or 34g), which when subject to excessive stress of high-voltage/high-current won't last as long.

Good Luck
