what watts do you vape at

[wight]

With some of the higher wattage mods available now, I was wondering what people normally vape at. Two votes

Usually 30w-40w for RBA's there are some i vape a lot lower but the ones i generally use the most then that's what i vape at.
40w-50w with RDA's is my normal range but again there are exceptions depending on the RDA and the build it could be lower it could be higher.

15 to 25 normally 20 but somtimes lower or wack it up depending on my mood

[sydsut]

I've voted but it usually depends on the mod. Regulated between 8.5 & 13 watts and on mechs with drippers, who knows?

[clairea]

Depends what I am using, but with new tank and mod aroun 14-18 at mo dependent on juice

DNA40, 0.10 to 0.20 ohms, rayon or JP cotton wick, hover around the 12 W mark. Often as low as 10.5 W. This is using high-VG juices, so no lack of cloudage, and with decent flavour. It's amusing to see folk going for 100W / 150W devices, as if incinerating your juice is going to do more than risk producing health-damaging emissions. Dr Farsalinos's study into the temperature of temperature of evaporation should be out soon, that'll be a real eye opener, showing (I think) what wattage is the cutoff above which the nasties like formaldehyde are produced.

Depending on set up/ liquid. Mine will be between 7-11 watts. So most of the time around 9 watts on a 1.6 to 2.2 omh single coil

Regardless of the findings there still wouldn't be a set cut off with regards to watts alone.
It would have to be watts in relation to resistance and the material type of wire used.

Which begs the question, what wire and ohmage is safe for pumping 150W through? Back to ohms law. Using this site here, with 150W and 7.4 V (so two 18650s) the resulting current is 20 amps, which is probably safe with most decent 18650s. It would run hot though on a resistance above 0.36 ohms.

Well there's the thing we don't know what hot is as of now.
With regards to base liquids like PG/VG and nicotine i guess the study will show what a safe temperature range is but with regards to flavourings i doubt the study will be much help because there is just too wide a variety so we're never going to know what temperature range if any is unsafe with those breaking down into dangerous compounds under specific temperatures.
I would hazard to assume that most people vaping at the 150w that you gave as an example are building below 0.36ohms anyway.

I vape my lovely Vamo @ 9 watts...I'm not very adventurous 

[mattyjones1977]

Lemo at 20w on a 1.4 ohm coil with my lovely diy fudge subtank mini at 20w 0.4 ohm vaping my vanilla cupcake mix and my kayfun at 9.5w on a 1 ohm build with strawberry fields kiwi slammer yum yum

Rip Trippers reviewed an ipv3 150W at above 1 ohm (see the annotation towards the end : "Will this vape below 1 ohm? We shall see").



Lots of clouds and sick as tits etc, so it'll sell.

No option for 3 to 5 watts? Am I alone in vaping at low wattage? Sometimes go as high as 9 but usually between 3 - 5

[Brambles]

8.5 watts using dual coil kanger aerotank, 7.5 watts using single coil, both 2.2ohms. Any more and the coils gunge up quicker. 70% AG 30% PG.

Just tried 5 watts ausfost, I could do it if i had to ...would have to add more flavouring. I used to vape at 5 watts, but found upping it made the flavours much better and vape where I get the best flavour and coils last longest before needing a dry burn or replaced.
