Start low, work up slowly. Begin at the bottom of your coil's recommended range and increase by 3–5W at a time. MTL pods = 10–20W; sub-ohm = 30–80W. Your device type and coil resistance set the range — your preference fine-tunes within it. Flavor peaks before harshness. The sweet spot is where flavor is clearest and vapor is warm, not hot. If it burns, you've gone too far. Higher wattage = more nicotine per puff + shorter battery life + faster coil death. It's a trade-off, not just "more is bett
