Watts or Volts.

[Del_Boy]

When you use your mod, what settings are you are using?
Wattage.
Voltage.
There isn’t any difference between Wattage or Voltage mode in the terms of vapour production or flavour. It’s just the way the power is been delivered to the coil that is different.

When I use regular Wattage mode on a 0.24 ohm coil I average (66.6W) which comes out at 4V. If I was to change my coil from 0.24 to 0.5 I’ll drop the Wattage from (66.6W) to (35W) which comes out again at 4V.

So I changed from using regular Wattage mode to Voltage mode and let the resistance of the coil determined the Wattage.

I have both a Wasp Nano RTA and GEAR RTA.
The Wasp Nano RTA has a 0.24 ohm coil.
The GEAR RTA has a 0.5 ohm coil.
Since my device is set to 4V, every time I change my tank I get the same hit without adjusting the output.

To each their own. I mainly use SS316, and if I were to switch to voltage mode, I get reduced wattage with heating of the coil. Although that's why I use SS316, as TC mode or mechanical are my prefered "mode"

Fair enough, I use most wires except nickel and titanium. But my preferred wire(s) are kanthal (core) and either SS316 or Ni80/90 (outer wraps) to keep the resistance consistent as the coils heat.

What are amps, watts, volts and ohms?

 

[United States]

Watts.

 

[vapdivrr]

Just depends on your vaping style. When there was no wattage mode, I really liked VV and mechs, but now I'm use to wattage mode. For myself, I would have to change either , so it doesn't matter. I like a similar vape in all my rtas, one day I might do a 7 wrap of 26g , then perhaps a 6 wrap of 26. Or do an 8 wrap or 5 wrap, so in order to keep the vape kind of similar, I would have to adjust either. My higher resistance coil needs more power or volts then my lower resistance coil. You may ask why I would use different coils if I'm after the same vape, well it depends on the size of my rtas. Some of my rtas fit better with a 5 or 6 wrap, while some fit between the posts better with a longer coil.....

Resistance doesnt necessarily correlate with Watts needed.
I have vaped at 60W from anywhere between 1,2 to 0,2 Ohm. So its Watts for me.

I've used both variable voltage mods (Provari) and variable wattage mods (DNA). From what I can tell, they work pretty much the same way. They allow me to adjust my vape "on the fly".

Most manufacturers of drop in coils print their recommended wattage range on their coils. If you're still using variable voltage you're out of luck unless there's a watts to volts conversion chart that I'm not aware of.

Not sure it would be possible to make a chart. You can stick a tank on a VW mod that shows both the wattage and the voltage so you know what the equivalence is for that tank and coil. I do that sometimes so I know what voltage to set on a Provari to get the same vape as I get on a VW mod.

I honor Greenock Scotland by vaping in Watts.

I honoured Greenock by swearing never again to get involved with a Greenock woman.

 

[stratus.vaping]

Watts. Because I like KISS.

I also use either or on regulated mods when I use a regulated mod. I really don't care either way. I turn the mod adjustment up or down to get the vape I want.

[drmarble]

Volts provide a small amount of temperature control. We know P=V^2/R. As temperature increases in the coil, so does resistance. This results in an automatic power reduction as the coil temperature increases. No real effect with kanthal or nichrome, but noticable with titanium or stainless steel.

 

[TrollDragon]

Watts on the DNAs and Volts on the PWMs as there is no watts.

I agree Dave.

 

[evan le'garde]

I agree Dave.

I always had a theory that Trigger calls Rodney "Dave" because Rodney calls Trigger "Trigger". If Rodney had grown up with Trigger, as Del Boy did, then he'd qualify to call Trigger "Trigger".

I could be wrong of course !.

 

[Tabac man]

I thought it was because Trigger is just Trigger. He called Rodney Rodney in one episode, I think near the end. Rodney just stood there with his mouth hanging open.
