Watts, Volts and a 1.8 ohm atty

[nvadasz]

I didn't word it properly I guess, in my previous post. I seem to be all over the chart on my watts when vaping. Some times I'm at 6.8 and other times I crank it up to 14 watts. Same juice, same everything....is thus a common thing or am I nuts?

What's your favorite setting on your VW/VV battery if you're running a 1.8 ohm coil?

On my builds of 1.8 or 2.0 depending on what they come out at when I build them in my lemo I like 8 watts

I'm running a 1.9 in a kayfun right now and it's at 8.5 watts. But I've noticed that if it's cold out (been a cold winter in Ottawa), I change it to 9.5 to maintain the same vapor production. What kind of device are you using?

As a rule I recoil at between 1.6/1.8 ohms and as a starting point I always look on the steam engine site for a wattage that will give me about 200 heat flux for the given coil, that suits my tastes. You may find if your atty has restricted air flow you may need to choose a lower wattage or vice versa
For me it's all about taste not power (wattage)

With clean wick and coil I like to run at 10 watts and as they get gunked up I raise the wattage. When I reach 13 watts its time to dry burn the coil and rewick.
This is with a Kayfun V4 and a 1.8 ohm coil.

1.8ohm is right in the middle of my typical range of ohms. I tend to run my mod in the 7-10 watt range. 10-12 if the coils are gunked or batt is running low. I use a Kicked Mech mod. So actual watts run is estimated, as I don't have a digi display.

For my tank (with protank head rebuilt with cotton ) I start with 5 watt after refilling - I tend to fill up to the top, with only tiny bubble of air still in. It will burn at higher wattage. When I vape first 0.2 ml out, I switch wattage to 8-10 watt for 1.8 ohm coil.
Interestingly, in the beginning I am getting almost as good vapor production at 5 watt as later at 9 watt.
