Being fairly new to vaping, some things just confuse me and this is one of them...Yesterday I went to my B&M store and tried the new leaf istick 30 watt battery and found that the vape at 6.8 watts was airy and lack luster. Now I used those numbers because that's where I vape on my eleaf iStick 20 watt. The 30 watt read my atty correctly (1.9 ohms), volts, registered the same (3.5 volts) but I had to jack the thing up to 10 watts to get the same vape as my 20. Any idea what may have been going on?

The iStick 20 came out for Christmas sales and was a rush design in that it had a lot of problems. The 30 watt fixed a lot of those.
The 20 watt model uses mean voltage regulation, the 30 watt uses RMS. RMS is more accurate, mean will run "hot", so going from the 20 to the 30 you need to set the 30 around 2 or 3 watts higher when you put the same topper on each. Vary to taste, of course.
When you set the 20 watt Istick to 3 volts your actually getting about 4 volts RMS so it's hitting hotter than it should.
