I use an E-LVT, and it is variable wattage. I know it says it is 8.7 volts, but It IS running at 30 watts. On a 2.5 ohm single coil, 13 wraps.
This is amazing.

I have a question that is kind of related to the topic here. I like to have a rda with a single coil and one with a dual. The single uses 26 gauge reading 1.4, the dual uses 24 gauge reading 0.37. I vape the single no more than 25 watts, the dual no more than 60. The single will draw more voltage than its respective amperage, and the dual will draw more amperage than its respective voltage. Obviously the scaling is different when I set them at different wattages. I understand the volts or amps alone do not mean anything without its other variable to find wattage. I just started experimenting with builds lower than one ohm this past month to see the capabilities of my sigelei 150, finding that to reach higher wattage I will need low resistance builds to not hit the voltage limit, too low and I'll hit the amp limit. So my question is does battery drain only depend on the wattage calculated or does it factor in the voltage and amperage used? I want to experiment a little more to get lower builds in my RTAs, but I want to know how the builds effect the battery.
Be warned though, there seems to be a proliferation of CLONED blue screwdrivers about.
You need to carefully check to ensure that your blue screwdrivers are authentic - and you cannot post a cloned blue screwdriver in the classifieds if it has a logo.

Not sure about other devices with the capability, but the SXmini will do up to 9.5 volts and tops out at 60 watts
Would you happen to have a pic of the screw you use to make your coils? So I'm guessing the day of heating coils up then squeezing them together to make them tighter are a thing of the past?
I'm away from my gear right now but I'll get you a picture in the morning. It's just a normal machine thread screw I picked out of my junk box.
And yes the coil builders guild has moved on to tensioned coils and that sort of stuff. I went to using the screw to get away from micro coils and get spaced coils with perfect spacing. (It's an OCD thing)

I was vaping a couple of my Orchid V4 tonight, one 2.1Ω, 2.4Ω on the other, built with 30 ga, modified to use single coils. At 12.5 watts I produced enough cloud to get a complaint from my girl friend. 8-o Not what I'm looking for.
Personally I feel the flavor is much better with a single coil and I DIY so I can adjust flavor intensity anywhere I want it.

A battery is rated in milli amp hours, not milli watt hours. So the lower you go with the amperage .. the longer you go on a charge.

Yes, but in a regulated mod, amperage pulled from the battery and amperage put through the atomizer aren't the same value. Amperage from the battery is totally dependent on the actual real-time voltage level and the watts the device is outputting. So to answer the original question, yes, battery drain on a regulated mod is completely dependent on the wattage calculated, because the voltage and amperage used to power the atomizer have no impact on what's happening to the battery. A .5 ohm coil and a 2.5 ohm coil at the same wattage on the same device will drain the battery at exactly the same rate.

I have had a few high ohm builds. I use regulated devices. I am not into this for the clouds, I actually dislike chucking massive clouds but I love flavor. For me personally at around .5 ohms I am happy. The flavor is booming. I dont feel the higher ohm coils kick as much flavor as a .5 so I use .5. If you like a 3.0ohm coil and your device will fire it, more power to you. I am not one to insult anyones style unless it is done with reckless regards to themselfs or others, then I blast em. I just personally have vaped the same atty at 2.5 and .5 on the same device at altering draws with the same juice same wattage and so forth. While I never get a burnt hit (yea, you can pump high watts through a high ohm as someone asked, just gotta know how to build) I simply find the flavor better with the .5 so thats what I do.
Here you go, sorry for the delay, I actually had to work for a couple of hours last night and this morning.
I switch up resistance all the time and often leave the wattage set the same. To each their own.
As for high wattage, high resistance builds, it's possible but requires a pretty substantial mod to get the wattage out of high ohm builds. But with that being said, a good mod that will heat a high ohm coil quickly makes for an amazing vaping experience (INHO)
that's cool.i thought most devices kinda peaked at 9v.thats why I come here,lotsa info.
I have just come to realize the benefits of higher ohm coils at higher wattages with RTA's that have actual airflow (like my Lemo), thanks to stumbling onto rusirius' post on the subject.
A 6-32 machine screw works great in most applications, it will give you very close to a 2.5mm ID.

Sweet, I shall try that when I get my Lemo tanks which should be delivered Saturday.
A little over 9v we've been playing with today. The vapor is completely insane but uses 6 to 8 big drops every hit just to keep it fed. And even with 3mg nic I can only do 2 without a nic buzz. Certainly not an everyday vape but having fun playing around.
