What wattage for a .88 coil?

[GoBigGuy]

Hi All,

So I got my first rda, (Velocity v2), and RTA, (Gemini), today along with some pre-built clapton coils and had a quick question.

Wanted to try out the Velocity v2 first because I have a bunch of flavors I wanted to try. I used just one clapton coil in the center and wicked it and when I put it on my iStick Pico I get .88ohms with ejuice on it.

What wattage do I start off at? Is there a chart or something I can use to get me started?

Thanks!

Amps times volts equals watts. Or power.
I don't have a calculator in front of me.
Start around 18 watts & go higher till you encounter Heat..

Oh,,download an ohms law calculator..

See the above comments, but personally I would likely be in the 20w range at that resistance.

Start low and build your way up, get a scorched hit back it down, but you should reach your sweet spot a step at a time.

RDA...0.88... Easily start off at 30w.
Love the Gemini rta, my fav 22mm rta, fantastic.

middle 18650 battery range of 3.7 volts is probably close to 14.5 watts.

Yes, download a calculator.

are you using a mech or a regulated mod?

 

[Tommy-Chi]

Assuming you are on a regulated device, start out at a low wattage 15W to30W. Draw air through your device two to five times to prime the device. Now fire it and draw.

Do you have unvaporized e-liquid in your mouth? Up the wattage. Draw again...

Is the taste burnt? Your coil/atomizer may not be getting enough e-liquid. Check the flow...check to see that you have enough e-liquid...and if it warrants it, reduce your wattage.

I vape btw 120W and 170W. Right now I'm at 150W. What wattage you vape at depends on coil and wicking material type, juice type, device flow metrics, your physical ability to draw air through the device sitting on top of your mod, ...

^^-- yes there are various limits. If one aspect is built for higher power than the others, generally performance will suffer.

.88 ohms doesn't tell enough. At least one other data point is needed. Even Ohm's Law doesn't get you anything. .88 ohms could be 1-2" of #34 wire or a huge thing with many wraps of good size wire. For example, it used to be almost all coils were designed to work well on mech voltages, with that assumption resistance by itself tells you a lot (about how much power will flow anyway, not exactly what will happen when it does). That is almost certainly NOT the case with your coils. With proper mech coils, you could switch to voltage mode and set to 4 volts or so, or you could calculate how much power that is.

In this case, it's some prebuilt Clapton coil, which I'm not that familiar with, although the ones in the local shop they said forget about it if you're only running 30 watts. OTOH some of the preassembled Clapton coil units right now are lowish power. Those coils are a bit hard to analyze so it's more experience.

start low (eg 20w) and slowly go up. 40w should be decent

 

[Kriengsak Wangdulyakiti]

I just read from somewhere, 0.8 ohms is about 35-55W

no one can say for sure, you need to experiment yourself. you'll know whats right once and when you find the sweetspot.

That's it.
