What's your watts??

[BCRich2204]

So I'm new to this & of course I'm wanting to know more, wanting to experiment more. I've only been vaping for 3 days (today is my 4th). I'm possibly going to get a VV/VW dohickey, but I wanted to get an idea of what you guys think is the optimum wattage.

I know it's personal & you probably like different eLiquids at different wattages. However, for the sake of this exercise, could you please humor me. I seriously doubt there will be any consensus, but maybe there will be some kind of mean.....

I'm also trying to understand why manufacturers have settled on what they have for their "default" products. They all use 3.7 volt batteries & 2.4 ohm coils, or something pretty close. I would have thought there would be norms similar to "full-flavored" "Light" & "Ultra-Lights" making it "simpler" for the casual user..... so

I found this chart where this guy defines what he believes to be optimal.

What wattage (or voltage/coil combination) do you use most frequently? & if it's "specific" to a particular eJuice, go ahead & mention that as well.

i use 9.5-10.0 watts on a 2.5 ohms coil with a 50/50 pg vg mix its so tasty

 

[alkaiser]

i vape from 40-50 watts...this chart does not reach it haha

 

[suspectK]

7-~30watts..lots of flavors, highest PG content is 50%.

 

[inanitydefined]

hahaha 4.6-6 watt is optimal? to each their own I guess.
I like 9-12 watt because that's what my current setups do best. I plan to try this whole subohm thing soon

Usually vape around 9 - 12 watts, whatever doesn't burn my cartos, but I want to drop my nic so I'm gonna get a rda + mech to vape at lower ohms for more efficiency.

Currently between 7.5 - 10 depending on the juice.

 

[dalelovelace]

22 watts for me on a fully charged battery. 0.8 ohms on a Fogger or Taifun is my sweet spot.

Everybody is different, as is taste. I don't use a VW mod VV only, start low and increase till tastes burnt then back off.

Ideal wattage varies so much - not only by user preference and juice differences but especially by delivery device. I might vape a 2ohm coil in my rebuildable at 15 watts but that would make smoke pour out of my evod.

I think a great set-up for a new vaper is an ego-twist or vision spinner + a clearo like a kanger evod. You can forget the charts and just use the adjustment wheel like a volume knob. Too weak? Turn it up. Tastes burnt? Turn it down. You can also buy replacement heads in any resistance offered and use them (I think evods go from 1.8ohm - 2.5ohm). Just turn your pv up or down to accommodate.

Then one day, when you're saying to yourself "I'm really happy with this vape but I want to spend a whole bunch of time and money to see if I can be even *more* happy", check into mech mods, rbas, dna 20/30's and all that good stuff.

I only use voltage on my iTaste, not a fan of using wattage on it at all. Tastes better when I use volts.

Here I was a thinking amps is better.. back to the drawing board.

As to the which watts.. I choose Naomi.

voltage is the amount of power given by the battery. watts is the overall power after the voltage and resistance is applied.

to find out your normal wattage, use ohms law.

you just retired this meme hhahahaha nice one

 

[yzer]

I have 6.5 watts on my Sigelei right now.

 

[Keeferes]

I tend to stay around 4.5 - 6.0 watts. Seems I enjoy all my flavors in that range, mostly at the 5.0 mark. Anything higher and it starts to taste burnt to me.

 

[hvfracingwilly]

I've seen the better part of 141.2 watts........

But when i am not produceing clouds i keep it to a modest 16 watts

 

[csantiago1911]

Depends on my equipment and e-liquid. Here's what makes me happy currently

mech mod / Kayfun 3.1 clone / single microcoil 1.4 ohms / 9.78 watts @ 3.7 volts nominal
mech mod / Nimbus RDA clone / dual coil 0.8 ohms total / 17.11 watts total (8.56 watts per coil) @ 3.7 volts nominal

Obviously wattage will vary according to battery condition.

Using clearos and cartos my range is 6 - 12 watts. Less for the clearos, more for the cartos. The juice, the cleanliness of my coil ans wick and my preference any given hour influence things quite a bit.

RBAs and RDAs change the whole thing and much more power is possible.
