Aspire Odan coil question

    Hi all,

    Saw on RepublicOfVape regarding the Odan coils of the recommended wattage, and confirmed it on the Aspire site.
    0.18 Ω – Mesh Coil (60 – 80 W)
    0.2 Ω – Mesh Coil (50 – 60 W)
    0.3 Ω – Mesh Coil (35 – 45 W)

    My mod is a Smok GX2, using in the dual 18650 configuration.

    My issue is that when I used 0.2 Ω I'd use 18W or 0.3 Ω I'd use 22W, as going higher (20W on the 0.2 Ω or 25W on the 0.3 Ω) I found the coil to start dying nearly instantly; all flavour would go, it'd start to taste burnt, and would often stay that way. But yet the Aspire site advises me to use a higher wattage.

    Any ideas what could be the issue on why the coils go bad at watts a lot lower than the recommended watage?

    Not on an expert on it by any matter, stock coils have a recommended watts for two reason.

    Below: - Ejuice just gunk's up the coil & cotton and doesn't vape/wick properly.
    Over: - You risk burning out the coil.

    Edit: - Also look at the recommended VG/PG ratios for the coils in use, so they can wick properly?

    I have the Odan mini and by far the best coil of the three available is the 0.18 @80Watts it produces the best flavor .Decent flavor from the other two variants at their recommended wattage but i prefer a warmer vape , running a mesh coil lower than its recommended wattage is the reason you are not getting any flavor and as corkie said you're gunking up the coil

    Using wattages that low, the coil isn't even heating to the right temperature, so the liquid can't vaporise and as the lads said above, that will just clog up the coil.
