Question ?

[danliddle]

Just wanting to know about OHMS and wondering I use a Aspire Nautilus 1.8 Coil and im going to buy a IStick & MVP 20 whats the highest Voltage I cannuse without Burning out the Coil and whats the highest Wattage because I see people saying they Vape at 15 Watts or 5 Volts ?

I use around 13 -15w on the istick with mini nautilus. I can go a little higher on a fresh coil but do sometimes burn it! 13w is probably the best spot for me personally.

what about Voltage mate ?

sqrt(13 W x 1.8 ?) = 4.8 V

Cheers mate just as I was looking at the MVP 20 and seen it went to about 7.5 Volts :$

So is it higher the Coil the more Watts/Voltage you can go ?

Most of us use watts because once you set the wattage it will adjust the voltage irrespective of the resistance of the atty, hence when you have found your sweet spot it will replicate it.

In general when I first used vv/ vw I started low, say 6 watts and then worked up until it was just right for me, then set that level.

So does that mean if your Vaping at 5 Volts its no stronger then 5 Watts is there any info on where I can read and get a better idea and understand more something ive been needing to no just hasn't clicked yet just like what Vaping Bad said ' sqrt(13 W x 1.8 ?) = 4.8 V ' how do you work it out

link This is a brilliant guide by OneDay, really recommended for anyone wants to understand volts, watts and ohms.

Volts are independent of the resistance of your coil and watts depend on the resistance of your coil. With a fixed voltage if you change the resistance the watts will change, so the advantage of watts is that you should get a similar vape with different resistances (your device will alter the volts to get the wattage) where you would not with setting the volts.

Dang, saw the thread title and thought of this.
