Hello Realsis, This is something I have wondered about too. I set my VW mods to 6.5W with two exceptions. With my Wintergreen flavour I prefer it set to 7.5W and with drippers I set them to 5W and it is still too much. I use Kayfuns and iClears and Aspire Nautilus. I like my coils to be about 2 ohms. I have only tried drippers in the last couple of weeks and have no idea what I am doing. So far, it isn’t going well, cough cough, choke choke. From reading this thread it appears as though I am at the very low end.

Set both my Kayfun Mini at 1.8 ohms
This allows me to set one up in stainless standard mode on top of a Kanger standard 1100mah for work.
( gives me about 7.5 watts )
The other stays in long mode on the Fastech 2 post stand, 44mm SS drip tip and the itaste VV3.
Run it at 8.5 watts to 9 watts depending on juice.

That goes against everything I've experienced and everything I've ever read. Now the design of your topper makes a difference and if you tried to run 25 watts through a single coil clearo, you'd be in trouble. But it's the power (watts) and design of the topper that makes the difference not the voltage.

The standard unit for the rate of heat transferred is the watt (W), defined as joules per second.
Yeah. I can set my mod to 7 watts and swap heads with varrying resistance coils, and get basically the same vape. If I'm setting voltage, I have to make adjustments up or down when I swap heads.

In the end I'm trying to achieve say 7 watts. If I'm using a mech, I build my coils to the resistance needed to achieve that with a 3.7v battery. If I'm using a vv device, I set the volts based on the ohms of my coil to equal 7 watts. In a vw device, I set it and use whatever topper I want. To me, there are only minor differences in the vape.

But you are missing the point, I think. I have been stating this for a while. Watts are based on the resistance of the coil you are using.

You stated you like 15.7 to 25 watts but without knowing what ohm coils you are using at those wattages the wattage number doesn't mean anything.

I find most people get a good vape somewhere around 3.3 to 4 volts. If you are using a 1.5 ohm coil and running it at 15.7 watts that is 4.85 volts. Not sure many people would enjoy the vapor coming off the coil at such a high voltage. It would be HOT. If it was that same coil at 25 watts that would be 5.9+ volts.

If you are using a .5 to 1 ohm coil then those wattages make some sense. That would be 3.96V @ 15.7 watts for a 1 ohm coil and 3.53V @ 25 watts for a .5 ohm coil.

That is one reason I have a problem with people making WATTS the End All setting option. It isn't. I would like to see someone set their PV to 25 or 30 watts and switch atties from a .5 ohm coil to one with a 2 ohm coil and take a drag. They would be coughing their lungs out.

LOL. What's this guy talking about?
