Hi to all. First I want to say I am newbie on vaping. I have an aspire nautilus mini and an Ipow2 1600 mah battery.
I have some questions for you about 1.6 and 1.8 BVC coils.
On the 1.6 BVC coils is written ( 3.3-4.2 V) and on the 1.8 BVC coil (3.3-5 V). On my Ipow 2 battery can only set the W, from 5 to 15W but not the V.
I can't understand how many of you, use on this coils very high wattage like 14 to 20W and they say that the coils are OK on this power. According to the rapid table calculator, Watts/Volts/Amps/Ohms conversion calculator for the 1.6 coils 4.2V means 11.025 W, this means that higher W than 11 will burn the coil, Am I right?
Same example is for 1.8 coil, which 5V means 13.88 W, this means that higher W than 13 will burn the coil.
I use on, both 10.6 and 1.8 coils, 13 till 15 W and my coils was burned and I had to exchange.
Also according to the safe vaping power chart http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9dkanCt0I1qc8949o2_1280.png, for 1.8 coil the best value of V is at 3.7.
What is your opinion about that? Can you give me some advice?
Sorry for my bad English! Is not my first language!

1.6 Coil ( 3.3-4.2 V) = 6-11watts
1.8 Coil (3.3-5 V) = 6-14watts
"On the 1.6 BVC coils is written ( 3.3-4.2 V) and on the 1.8 BVC coil (3.3-5 V)" = Factory recommended power to be safe.
They should not burn ~18watts / 20 close / 25+ most likely to burn.
I vaped the 1.8ohm coils 14-18watts when I uses the nautilus mini.

thanks, but how did you find the value 6-11W for 1.6 coil and 6-14w for 1.8 coil?
what do you mean about "They should not burn ~18watts / 20 close / 25+ most likely to burn", can you be more explicit? thanks again

Ignore the "Safe Vaping Charts". They really don't apply to the equipment we now use to vape with.

The number written on the coils is just a suggested range.

To prime the coil, drop 5-8 drops (sometimes less/more depending on the size of your drops) of juice right inside the coil, another drop of juice in all the holes on the side of the coil. Put the coil in the base, fill the tank and screw the base back onto the tank. Once you put the tank on the battery give it several unpowered primer puffs. This will make sure the wick is fully saturated.

Turn you voltage or wattage down, take a few hits. Bump it up, couple more hits. Repeat until you find your "sweet spot". If your vape starts to taste burnt, dial it back down.

When I used a Nautilus I usually vaped between 14 -17 watts using 50PG/50VG eliquid/juice. HIgher than 17 watts I got "dry hits". Dry hits = burnt taste.

1.6ohm @3.3v =6.81watts // 1.6ohm @4.2v = 11.03watts > 6~11watts
1.8ohm @3.3v =6.05watts // 1.8ohm @5v= 13.89watts > 6~14watts
Think Susan-S made the rest more clear.
From my experience on the tank/1.8ohm coil head/60pg-40vg ~18watts had no problem but could dry hit @20 leading me to beleave 25+ watts = burn wick in coil.

Hi dumping,
I just started using these coils this year and I don't do watts, just volts. A lot depends on your PG/VG ratio. I prefer 80/20 and at that ratio the coils work best for me at 5.4 volts and above. ALSO, there can be a variation between coils that can effect the results - wick contact with the wire, for example. Good luck

As I remember, when the BVC first came out (small holes, not cotton wool) 10 watts was too weak, 12 watts was nice, 14 was risky (especially with high VG).

The new ones (bigger holes, cotton wool) vape OK from 10-14 watts and I've not had any bad vapes as yet.

For me (and I don't know why) they don't seem to last quite as long.
