What wattage do you typically use?

[wseyller]

I use boge cartos 2 ohm and have used smoketech 1.5ohm single coil (because they came with my tanks). I really like with my 3 ohm smoketech single coil in my tanks as it just better to me in a few ways. I am typically around 8 Watts maybe little more. Reason I ask is ive seen some mention that they vape like 12 Watts or more. If I go that high it starts tasting like the juice is burning. Just curious what wattage others are rolling with.

1.5ohm dual coil cartomizer at 6V...24 watts is my favorite.

It depends on the atty and juice - or the carto and juice. Typically, I like a warm vape, but not always.

Lately, I've mostly been using a 2.0 ohm hh.357 at around 4.6v for about ten and a half watts with a mild tobacco flavored VG juice - or - a 2.5 ohm i06 at about the same voltage for close to eight and a half watts with a strong tobacco flavor VG juice - and - I've been occasionally using an unregulated mod with a 1.8 ohm 306 so ~ seven and a half watts with a fruity flavored 90% VG juice.

Agreed with what six stated. It really depends on the juice and how it tastes at the wattage I use it on. Here's a short list of wattages I usually vape at:

7.6
9.12
11.76
12

What device are you using that allows at least 4 amps?

My normal vape is a 3.o carto at 5.7V, so a little over 10 watts.

While you are asking the battery to produce 24 watts, each coil is running at 12 watts with that setup.
There isn't a juice made that wouldn't be fried on a 3ohm coil at 24 watts. (two 3ohm coils in parallel = 1.5ohms)
Understand tho' that not all delivery systems are created equal. What will over power one type of atty/carto can be where another just gets started.

I normally run single coils somewhere between 7 & 8 watts depending on the type of atty/carto, and the juice being used.

 

[fray]

I usually run 8.5-9 watts. With dual coils I move up to 11-12 watts. I vape similar flavors most the time so most are in the same sweet spot

 

[Liv2Ski]

I run single coil Iken Fusions and they are around 2.8 ohms. I hit them with 8.5 - 9 watts depending on the time of day and stress level.

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah me too. I use the 'like it' wattage. Turn the little wheel until I like it. That's the wattage.

Voltage, amperage (and of course wattage) can be measured to the 10th or better. It changes as the atty/carto gets more worn too. So, meh.

12 watts would be too high, IMO. I'm betting around 8 +/-

That's 12 watts per channel......(I won't say "babycakes")

Hairball, have you ever inserted a voltmeter in line with that atty? I'm thinking that your PV is backpedaling on voltage. As wseylr said, that's 4 amps. I = E/R ... 6/1.5=4 amps. It must be a mechanical PV with two 3 volt batteries. Buy a switch often?

The wattage would be 6*6/1.5= 24

I'm happy at 6 to 8 watts. I vape a 3 ohm carto at around 4.2 volts and a 2 ohm at 3.7.

I use a Joye 510 atomizer (2.3 ohms) with NiMH batteries that start at 5.4 volts and wind down to 4.8 volts.
So I'm generally vaping anywhere between 10 and 12 watts.

I just had to do that to see.

5v NiMH bat fresh off the charger in a SB, no load ... 5.1v.
With 2.4ohm atty, sorry but thats what the darn thing measured (close as I could get) .. under load ... 4.6v = 8.8w

I figured those 4 little NiMH cells would be limited amp wise, but I didn't know how much.
Whats funny tho' is the same atty with a kick in my SB is hitting at 4.6v.

Sorry, but I don't know what that all means.

Something about their performance under load?
How do the amps factor in?
Can you explain?

Maybe your explanation will also help me understand why when they stop hitting good they still measure 4.7 volts?
Not under load of course, because I wouldn't know how to measure them under load if my life depended on it.

8.5 watts on a 2.8 ohm single coil. 12.7 watts on a dual coil 1.5 ohm.
