what's your favorite wattage range to vape at?

[realsis]

Hi friends, I know wattage is going to vary with different flavors your vaping but I was curious what your favorite wattage range is? I myself find my favorite range is in between 15.7 to 25. My low being the 15.7. What's yours? I find it a bit warm for me when I get into the 30 range so I usually keep it in the range of 15.7 to 25. Just curious what range other people perfer. My hubby perfer it lower as he likes it in between 11 to13. So what's your favorite wattage range??

This Really depends on the device I use. With my hana modz dna 30 clone, I am at 23-26 watts. With my Tesla or Lavatube 2.5 I'm at 8.5 - 11. I haven't built my SX350 yet, but it's capable of 50 watts currently. Not sure what I'd use at 50 watts but I'm curious to try!

It really depends on the resistance of the coil you are using. High ohm coils need less wattage and lower ohm coils need more wattage.

I vape 1.4 to 1.8 ohm coils at around 3.4 to 3.8 volts respectively. So I'm always in the 7.5+ to 10 watt range. Anything higher I get a sore throat and cough.

This is with Kayfun's and manufactured tanks.

1.8-2.4 ohm coils on bcc's at 6-7.5w via mvp2, usually at 6.5w and bump it up to the greater if feeling stressed. Also depends on how my throat feels. I'm perfectly happy with eGos on 2ohm coils as well.

I use Kayfuns, Russians, Taifun GTs, and Foggers and I always Vape between 11 and 16 watts. Sometimes higher. It depends on the juice. Some juices taste better cranked up a tad, while others taste best at a lower wattage. I usually build my coils between 1.3 and 1.7 ohms depending on what juice I'm about to load my tank with. I have RDAs too but I enjoy RBAs best.

The mods I use are ProVaris, EVics, transformer 30, and several others. I have dozens of mods but like VV better because I can adjust to flavors.

My sweet spot is 3.7 volts. If its a .6 ohm build its 22 watts, 1.3 ohm build its 10 watts.

 

[AngelicTomPetty]

Usually about 7.5 for a 1.8ohm coil on my nautilis.

 

[Wow1420]

Clearos at 6W, RBAs at 9 to 10 watts. I have no interest in going higher.

 

[SingedVapor]

Started at 10 watts at 2.0 ohms on a clearomizer. Now i find my happy place at 15 watts on 0.8 RDA

Thanks for the answers it's always fun to see what others favorites are.!!

 

[realsis]

Right now I'm at 15.8 at 1.0 ohm. It works pretty good with my honeydew mix juice. Really sweet

 

[Boiler]

1.7 was a bit weak, 1.3 is a tad harsh, I'm thinking 1.5 for my next coil will be just right.
So ~9-10 watts seems to be where I like it.

But you are missing the point, I think. I have been stating this for a while. Watts are based on the resistance of the coil you are using.

You stated you like 15.7 to 25 watts but without knowing what ohm coils you are using at those wattages the wattage number doesn't mean anything.

I find most people get a good vape somewhere around 3.3 to 4 volts. If you are using a 1.5 ohm coil and running it at 15.7 watts that is 4.85 volts. Not sure many people would enjoy the vapor coming off the coil at such a high voltage. It would be HOT. If it was that same coil at 25 watts that would be 5.9+ volts.

If you are using a .5 to 1 ohm coil then those wattages make some sense. That would be 3.96V @ 15.7 watts for a 1 ohm coil and 3.53V @ 25 watts for a .5 ohm coil.

That is one reason I have a problem with people making WATTS the End All setting option. It isn't. I would like to see someone set their PV to 25 or 30 watts and switch atties from a .5 ohm coil to one with a 2 ohm coil and take a drag. They would be coughing their lungs out.

This.

I wish there were more choices for VV mods. I so far have not found one I liked

That goes against everything I've experienced and everything I've ever read. Now the design of your topper makes a difference and if you tried to run 25 watts through a single coil clearo, you'd be in trouble. But it's the power (watts) and design of the topper that makes the difference not the voltage.

The standard unit for the rate of heat transferred is the watt (W), defined as joules per second.

Have you looked at a Provari. It is not for Sub-Ohming but it is the best tube VV device.

I'm not really into tube mods unfortunately. I've considered waiting until the provari 3 comes out but I would much rather a box mod. I love my box mods

(And besides I won't be mod shopping for a while, I just purchased my first reo so I'll be broke for a while)

Again this is completely false and misinformed. Volt and Wattage are exactly the same thing. It all depends on what ohm coil you are using.

If you raise or lower the voltage for a given resistance coil the watts go up or down. If you raise or lower the wattage for that same resistance coil the volts go up or down.

When Mech users say they vape at 35 watts with a .4 ohm coil what they are really saying is they are vaping on a partially drained battery @ 3.7 volts. If it was a fully charger battery, 4.1 volts, they would be vaping at 42 watts.

Do the math.

Sorry couldn't resist

This. Watts are watts. 25w on a 2 ohm coil will be basically the same as 25w on a 1 ohm coil. Seems like the person Shootist is confusing volts with watts
