+1. It varies by personal taste, juice flavor and nic content and other things. Start out about 20-25 watts, and work it up slowly, see what you like as the strength increases.
Welcome and glad you joined.

depends on coil/tank... Temp control? reg. mod, mech mod? Liquids PG/VG ratio also...
Some prebuilt coils will state the range of watts that you should use.

Simple. Low enough you don't burn the wicks, and high enough to get a satisfying vape.
Start low and move up gradually.
Knowing the ohms alone does not decide the wattage;
Thicker wire needs more watts per ohm
Coil wrapping

I know it Sounds Trite. But it really Is what it Is. So Much depends on your Hardware, e-Liquid, and the Type of Hit you are Looking for.
Start Low and Move up a Little at a Time. You'll know when to Stop.

.42 ohms, by itself, is not enough info. If we assume this resistance is proportioned to work well on a mech, that gives us a second data point with a simple answer, it will work best at mech voltage, 3.7-4.1 V, whatever power that results in, although that's a little circular. If we know what wire gauge it is (for example), and you seem to imply single coil, then we can calculate how big a coil that actually is.
Power handling is limited by several factors, mainly coil size, wicking, and airflow. I use a fairly restricted single hole and only draw hard enough to get a slight backpressure feedback from that restriction. I was using an oversize coil which could handle much more power but still too much power would get too hot and if I continued, start getting burny. Finding the power sweet spot as best possible based on airflow allowed me to then start getting the right size (smaller) coil in there. The result is fast heatup, a better vape, and a clearly defined sweet spot. .1 watt adjustments, out of ~15, are significant in adjusting to different juices and differences of technique due to mood and environment.
