Why am I vaping at 40 -50 Watts?

[niczgreat]

I just can't figure out why people vape at 80 Watts +.

Is it that my Nic 5mg is too high causing harshness. I'm allergic to PG so I vape only VG with a high amount of Alcohol. Could the high Alcohol content around 10% cause harshness too.

I just started squonking again. On my Ijoy Capo I have a Vandy Maze and a Ijoy SRDA.
The Maze which is .20ohm I vape at 50w and the .13 Vandy at 40 Watts.

Just curious if it's my liquid that makes high temp vaping unpleasant.

Note: Just called the MFG and found out that the Cook's Peppermint Extract that I use is 47.5% alcohol so I'm not vaping 20% Alcohol.

This I gotta see...

Because that's what you set your mod to.

Sorry, I have an unfortunate tendency to be overly literal.

It comes down to coil mass. The more wire a coil has, the more power it takes to quickly heat it to vaping temperatures. That's why I'm happily vaping at 8 watts with a weeny little coil and you're vaping at 40 watts with (presumably) a more massive coil. Someone else is using a bigger coil still, so their power setting is higher. You can have a great vape at almost any setting provided your settings suit the coil you've chosen.

I even think your wattage is high, but it comes down to coil mass and airflow. If you were building your own coils or used dual even quad coils with a lot of mass , with massive af, then one can obtain higher wattage without the harshness. My rebuildable rtas, are mtl and has
tight af with not much coil mass, so that controls power you can obtain before becoming too harsh

Yes, I overlooked airflow. The greater your airflow, the more power it takes to keep your coil hot enough to vape.

And juice flow. The more cold juice is being dumped on a coil, the more wattage is needed to vaporize it.

Do you like your vape? Is it the perfect temp for you? Then you're at just the right amount of power.

Why others vape at 80W is because of their preference with their particular setup, or because the coil says "best at 80-90W" and they believe it, even if they don't really like the vape.

I just can't figure out why people Vape at 80 Watts +.

I can't figure it out either. I've been vaping on a mech for the last 6 years at 1.25 ohm and have been completely satisfied.

Could the high Alcohol content around 20% cause harshness too.

Definitely!and 5mg/ml nic at 50w is not that much.

 

[Katya]

Could the high Alcohol content around 20% cause harshness too.

Very much so. People often add a bit of alcohol to their eliquids to increase TH; 20% alcohol sounds excessive to me. Why so much? You can dilute your VG with distilled water (10-15%) or distilled water and just a few drops of alcohol --vodka or everclear (PGA) are usually recommended.

I don't know the answer to this, and don't vape at high wattages.

But I'm wondering what kind of juice you're using that is 40 proof? That sounds like an incredibly high alcohol percentage, since alcohol would normally only be a small percentage of a flavoring, which in total is usually only 5-20% of the juice.

 

[Vapefiend]

I can’t vape anything with alcohol in it. I like a nice 60vg 40pg blend 8mg 1ohm coil at 13-14 watts. I guess whatever works for you to keep you off the stinkies

Why am I vaping at 15 -25 Watts?

I just can't figure out why people Vape at 40 Watts +.

 

[Coyote628]

I vape at 80w .12 to .13 ohm 6mg juice, high vg. I do this. What of it? If yer chokin at 40w, you couldnt handle my set up. And i also think youve got somethin wrong with your wicking. Pull it and put in fresh cotton or whatever you use to wick.

Does it matter, assuming you like it?

If you do, vape & enjoy it. It's that simple.

 

[LMS62]

What? There are people who vape differently than I do? The outrage!!!

 

[Kickingthesticks]

I didn't even know people put alcohol into vape juice lol.

 

[jotohomomoto]

man I was literally thinking the same thing when I scrolled to your comment. I wonder if there is any pscho-active effects or if it would register on a breathalyzer. I saw someone above mention 'throat hit', is that the only reason one seeks alcohol in their vape???

 

[Jebbn]

I vape at 180-205 Celsius.
I think I could tolerate a bit more.
