Can't undestand the heat flux on steam-engine :/

Hi fellows,

I've had built a twisted wire using two pieces of 28g SS 316. Then i made two coils with 9 wraps.

In the mod shows me a 0,41 ohm, in the ohm meter 0,42 ohm (im not an expert, in actuay im a newbie at vaping with mods and thanks -- used a pen smok 22 for one year and just last month bought a good stuf, but can't imagine this difference is a big issue... at least i think...).

But im very intrigued with the chart that appears on the steam-engine in the "heat flux" area.

Im vaping with my dual coils mentioned above in 45w and its pretty good.

But the chat there says 150W!!!

What exactly is this heta flux and 150w?

After i saw the 150 i tried to vape at 75w just to see what happens and got a burn tast.

In the pic bellow everything is just right when i compare withs the coils i've build. Just can't undestand that heat flux...

Thanks you guys, and sorry for post so many questions. One day ill learn about this vaping stuff and will stop bothering you gauys so much.

Best.

Heat flux is basically milliwatts per millimeters squared. its telling you how hot the coil is at the wattage youre using it at.

Green looks like its normal.
Blue means cool vape.
Red means hot vape.

You can see the wattage on the OHM's Law tab just enter the resistance and the voltage (usually 3.7volts or 4.2volts) it will show how many watts is perfect for your build (power).

hmmmm...

Beginning to understand...

At firts, in the pic at the post above, i've thought the setam-engine was telling me to use 150W!!!!!! with those coils.

Then i realize i can change the heat flux parameter and it gives me another watts for the mod. As in the pic above.

And, always thanking for your explanation, i saw the ohm tab.

So, if i understand it weel, i need 34W for my .40 coil. And will use 9,2 amps for vape. What is not a problem even if i use just one baterry (in my mod are two).

Guess is this, right?

thanks again.

Best man.
