The basic rule is start low and work your way up, other than not pushing your coils beyond their rated limits there is no hard and fast rule. It really depends on your tastes and the liquids you are vaping etc.

I've got V12 Prince tanks. When I'm starting with a new coil I take a few hits at around 10W lower than the bottom of its rated range printed on the coils then work up from there until I'm happy with what I'm getting. Usually I find I'm happy just below the narrower 'best' range printed on the coils.

I use the .4 ohm coil for 50/50 liquids and tend to use a setting between 40-55 watts (its best range is stated as 60-80W)
I use the .15 ohm and .12 ohm coils for higher VG liquids. The .15 I tend to run both between 65 and 80 (the best range for the .15 is 80-100W and for the .12 its 80-110W)

I generally keep to the soft setting as it suits me just fine. I figure that by starting low and just getting to the lowest setting that you find satisfying, you maximise the life of your coils, reduce the risk of burning, and also the lower your settings the longer your batteries will last before they need charging

Thanks for the reply, I got the mod from a buddy for my first mod so it already had the Hard setting on so I just moved it onto Normal

The MOD will give you a Temp Warning if the PCB Temp goes over the range they set in the firmware and that is basically just information. I do not believe you can adjust that.

You are very Welcome and I hope you can enjoy your stay~!

Not much you can do about the PCB Temp except for stop Chain Vaping.............
 
Sorry for reviving the thread just wanted to ask if anyone tried to re-design the Wismec RX 200 PCB? I always had problems with the PCB at Wismec RX 200 mod model and that is really annoying cause I always needed to return it by warranty back to China. I tried recently to re-design the PCB of the RX 200 mod with help of gerber viewer and it seems to work well for about a month with no issues. I will update you if will have any changes but so far it is working pretty well and maybe I will send the PCB design I have created directly to Wismec so maybe they will fix the PCB issues.

Talk about "redesigning the pcb" please. What is this referring to?
