Hi all,i have several tanks on the go on 3 different mods and a sub ohm battery,without using ohms law is there a decent chart as a quick reference guide to wattage for coils about 0.1 ohms rising to approx 3 ohms ...i can't always see the recommended wattage on the coil in my tank
and will be building my own soon..cheers ..
I write down all my coils in tanks on my phone's memo app. As far as a chart I haven't seen one

I don't believe that you'd even be able to find a chart as there's just too many variations, except if you're using factory coils.

If you are, then the "recommended" wattage is usually printed (laser etched) on them.

The best you can do if you're building, then to simply figure out the metal, the gauge, how many wraps and always aim to build the same way, and then note what the wattage and TC (if you use it) works best for you.

For me, I been sticking with SS316L, 26 gauge and usually build as large as the deck can take in both size (usually from 2.5 to 4mm) and wraps, which gives me anywhere from 0.2ohm to 0.8ohm (depending if it's a single or dual deck), and set my mods to 45W and adjust my TC to about 360F and adjust as required.

There used to be a chart as you describe back in the days of cartomizers and the first clearomizers, but then we were dealing with a fixed set of voltages, 3.2v to 6v on cig-a-likes, Ego Batteries, and the first variable voltage devices, with a single wire material and silica wicking at 1.5 (Lowest Resistance) to 3.0ohm (Highest Resistance). That chart is completely lacking given current technologies added in now, Sub-ohm, SS316L wire and other wires now, variable wattage, adjustable airflow, etc. Your best bet is to as mentioned above, even with pre-made coils is use steamengine and check the "Heat Flux" variable in the coil builder calculator will tell you about a good ballpark of wattages to run any given coil.

Are you using a mechanical mod or a regulated mod ? If the answer is regulated, then set the wattage to where you like it. Start low and gradually increase it until you find your sweet spot. A chart won't tell you what YOU like. Chances are, if there were such a chart, it would have you burning up your coils prematurely. It seems maximum power is the cool thing nowadays. Whatta shame.

yep...good. For your low ohm coils, start out at 25-30 watts and gradually increase the power until you get to a point where you enjoy the vape. With those screw in coil heads, if you throw too much power at it and burn the wicking material, that's it. It will forever taste burnt. Don't buy into the hype...more power means absolutely nothing. An enjoyable vape means everything.
