Need help finding good volts

[Selphie187]

I have an eleaf istick 40w, running a dual 1.5ohm coil i believe (came with kangertech mega tank), and i cant seem to find a good voltage to run with, if i run too high it burns, but too low and i get no vapor or taste. right now im running at 4.32v.

Have you tried switching over to wattage mode? You might get a bit more control that way.

Any case, this seems to be a tank-related question, so I'm going to slide your thread on over there where it should get better traffic...

its set at 10w

I don't have THAT set up, but I do have the 20w. It seems to run a bit hotter than anything else I have, so I keep it below even 10w. The only thing that helped me was to build with thicker wire for a slower ramp up, or going with a much higher ohm coil.

If you don't build, try going a bit lower on the watts, maybe a higher ohm coil. That worked for me.

Another thing, so juices just don't tolerate high watts, not that 10 is high, but I have a juice that likes to stay cool.

With my Aerotank Mega, I was running around 7-8 watts most of the time. Vapor production was terrible, but the Aerotank (I think that's what you're using) is an older-generation clearo designed for mouth-to-lung use, not cloud chasing.

when I was using an aerotank if I was using volts, I would usually ad "2" to resistance and set that as my volts. If I had a 1.5ohm coil I would:1.5+2=3.5- so I would set voltage to 3.5 and usually be fine right there, occasionally adust up or down by 0.1
its not scientific by any means; but, it worked for me.
it proves to work fine considering.; 1.5ohms at 3.5 volts is 8.167 watts.
