what about watts?

[Cowboy192]

ok im a bit thrown, i've been reading about the sweet spot being 7-8 watts i use aspire 1.8ohm bvc coils in a nautilaus mini and an et-s so in theory i should be running my battery around 3.8v (3.8x3.8/1.8=8.0)
yet im finding the amount of vapor and flavour a bit weak, so two questions,
does an extra couple of watts really do that much harm to the coils and battery? (ive been finding myself running 4.3v=10.2w)
and
is there something else i am missing to get both better vape and better flavour
(ive read more vg can mean more vape but less flavour, more pg = move flavour less cloud)

Cowboy... what are you like?

The sweet spot is where you enjoy it. If someone's been vaping an E-Lites, they might think 6 watts is heaven.

I pretty much vape at 8-9 watts most of the time, but NOT with a BVC coil... no way dude!!

Max on the MVP. (11w, supposedly, but we know it's not quite true)
12w or so on the Vamo. (Vamo is slightly under, really)
9w on the iStick. (iStick is a bit hot, for a few reasons).

So much depends on the device, the atomizer, the real power output and stuff like that.

What battery/mod are you using for it?

 

[Cowboy192]

using a vision spinner II and always using 1.8ohm bvc on both the nautilaus mini and the et-s's

ps why "NOT with a BVC coil... no way dude!!"

using a vision spinner II

Oh, well, say no more. Solidly on the 4.3v setting for me and a few blasts at full volume now and again. As you say, 4.3v = 10.2 watts.

I'll just check it against the iStick....

Shouldn't do any harm to the battery, will shorten battery life between charges. Will cause the coils to burn out a little faster.

The statements about vg/pg are generalizations. VG is in and of itself not less flavorful it is just so dense that it takes longer for the flavor to emulsify throughout the liquid. Vg will definitely produce more vapor. VG is more difficult to use in a tank because it is so thick it doesn't wick as well. This can be solved with several drops of distilled water per tank.

As far as what you can do? Tough to say. You are using one of the favorite tanks on the market right now. If you have BVC coils you are at about the summit as far as plug and play tanks go. You might look at some different juices? Not sure what you are currently vaping? or what nic level? I find lower nicotine levels to have better overall flavor but that is just me. Anything beyond 12 just comes across really peppery. Yet when I am stressed I go straight for the 18 to get a nic buzz.

mostly hangsen juice 12mg, so i'm not likely to loose a hand running at 10w but i will kill my coils a little faster? i can live with that so long as i'm not doing a coil a day lol

 

[djsvapour]

You'll be OK Cowboy with BVC coils.. it's not like the bad old days when 8-9w would kill a Kanger atomizer in a day.

I've had some BVCs up to 15w on the Vamo (guessing it's a little less, of course) and they've done over 2 weeks.

cheers for the replies!

My watts are always subject to change.
If tank is full, I may start with 5 watts (its just the way my tank behaves). When I chain vape and liquid became warm (so, better wicking) I may go to 10-11 watts. Also my settings depend on my mood. On juice... A lot of variables.

If you have A race car, don't sweat the gas mileage..

now there is an answer a petrol head can understand!

 

[WharfRat1976]

Depends on ur juice viscosity.

 

[dice57]

took me some time but after a year of vaping, found my "sweet spot" at 60-75 watts, with a dabble in the trip digies occasionally.

LOL... same here, bro... I'm running at 75W at the moment.

Looks like you're up late today! How's Spot doin'?

 

[Hemptation]

I run 80 vg /20pg. In a full size nautilus On a provari 3. At 12.8 watts. And I change my cool every week Just routine. The coil isn't burnt out. But the flavor diminishes a bit. But I chain Vape sometimes. And sometimes I don't.


That's just my experience

 

[MFMadHatter]

I use an itaste svd and I vape at about 10-12 watts with my kanger aerotank at 2 ohms I get pretty decent clouds but I think I might get the 1.2-1.5 ohm coils

Yeah it is what it is. (getting 5 post sorry)
