Uwell High Wattage is Harsh?

Awesome!!!

I really like it

I use 80w at 500 on the .25 coil

I'll try it out. On the .5 I have in there now!

Oh man!!! Thank you! Just vapped wit TC and woooow!!! Love it the flavor is beautiful!!! Thanks again

Np

Wow really love the TC. Funny cause alot of seasoned vapers told me they don't like it and it's kinda a gimmick. I know it's not needed when building but what a difference with the clearo I have in regards to vapor quality and flavor!!! Warm so smooth and good vapor production

So from what I read it seems that when you drip you run much lower wattage?
For example with a clearo that has a .5 coil and is good at 50w it will be much lower on a rta? Am I understanding this right? I really want to start building

No, that's not how it works. The max power you can run with a given coil is limited by a few things, mostly max air flow available in an atomizer and how quickly the wick moves juice to the coil.

There are clearo style tanks, RTAs and drippers that can be run at over 100 watts. You must though always have enough airflow and quick enough wicking to make them work right for the power you're aiming to use. If the device is capable of running at say 100 watts and you use good wicking, the same coil design will pretty much run in them all and at about the same watts. Sometimes the atty will limit things like max coil length (number of wraps), or maximum coil diameter, but those are atty design limitations.

One thing to know is that resistance is a small part of the picture when you compare coils. You can make a 0.5 ohm coil using various wire thicknesses and they will not vape the same because they can have very different surface area and mass. I use Steam Engine for designing coils and find that really helps me.

Here is one of my favorite setups for 40-45 watts. 24 gauge Kanthal, dual coils, 4/3 (3 1/2) wraps on a 3mm pin and a combined resistance of 0.2 ohms. Has only slight warm up time when you take the first drag due to the heat capacity of 38. It's a cool vape with good flavor because of the heat flux at 221 at 40 watts.

If I use 27 gauge Kanthal and want a similar vape I do it this way. Same dual coils on a 3mm pin, but I aim for 0.52 ohms and need 6/5 wraps. There will be almost no coil heat up time because the heat capacity is lower at 24. The heat flux is so similar I consider it even.

Hope that helps a bit.

Very much so, thank you!!

I guess I'm the only oddball that likes to vape at a high wattage. I kept my .25 on my crown at between 70-80 watts all the time. It gave me a real warm and very flavourful hit each time. Now with the .5 i stay between 50-55watts. Produces a generally cool vape, anything higher I notice a harshness on the throat but i think this is in part because the juice i have right now is 6nic and not 3. I'll be going back to 3nic and .25 coil at 75 watts, thats my favourite
