Find your setup in the table below to get a starting range. These are starting points — your personal sweet spot may be 5–10W higher or lower depending on taste.
| Device / Coil Type | Resistance | Wattage Range | Best For | Nicotine Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disposable vape | 1.0–1.8Ω | 8–15W FIXED | Beginners, casual users | Salt nic (20–50mg) |
| MTL pod system | 0.8–1.4Ω | 10–20W | Tight draw, cigarette-like | Salt nic (10–35mg) |
| RDL pod system | 0.4–0.6Ω | 20–35W | Balanced flavor + vapor | Salt nic (10–20mg) / Freebase (3–6mg) |
| Sub-ohm pod (0.3Ω) | 0.25–0.35Ω | 30–45W | Warm flavor, moderate clouds | Freebase (3–6mg) |
| Sub-ohm tank (mesh) | 0.15–0.25Ω | 40–80W | Big clouds, bold flavor | Freebase (3–6mg) |
| Sub-ohm tank (single coil) | 0.3–0.5Ω | 30–60W | Smoother, cooler vapor | Freebase (6–12mg) |
| Rebuildable RDA | 0.1–0.3Ω | 50–100W+ | Advanced users, cloud chasing | Freebase (3–6mg) |
Note: Always check the wattage range printed on your specific coil — these are general guidelines. Running above the rated range will burn coils quickly and may damage your device.
