What is Wattage in Vaping?
Learning about wattage can boost your vaping experience whether you’re a vaper or an adult smoker who's looking to switch to an alternative. On the face of it, the scientific language that accompanies vaping might seem too complicated - understandably so. There’s no need to worry though. With this handy vape wattage guide we’ll help you find the best wattage to vape at.
Why Does Wattage Affect My Vape?
Wattage is a measure of electrical power and, when we’re talking about vapes, defines the altering of temperature as the e-liquid heats. In vaping, wattage can be personally tuned to suit personal preferences - meaning there’s no golden rule or a uniform best wattage for vaping. Temperature influences everything from flavor to the throat hit, to the level of vapor produced.
How to Choose Your Ideal Wattage
There are plenty of factors to consider when finding the best wattage to vape at for you. This includes wire types, pods and tank systems. There’s no right or wrong option, it all comes down to personal preference. That’s why you should explore different options and find what suits you, even if it takes a bit of time.
When it comes to calculating your vape’s wattage, there’s two other factors – Ohms and volts that you should factor in. Why is this, and what do they mean?
Watts
Watts define the electrical power of a system. As discussed, this is an important, interchangeable factor in vapes.
Ohms
When talking about wattage in vapes, we should also consider Ohms. Ohms are a measurement of resistance, a significant factor in electricity and, therefore, in vapes. It’s important to know that resistance varies between vapes.
Volts
Simply put, volts are another way of measuring electricity. It goes hand in hand with Ohms and watts - it defines the voltage in electricity. Higher voltage translates to higher watts - more power in your vape.
The three; volts, Ohms, watts, are linked through Ohm’s law. This might seem familiar, that’s because it’s a widely used formula for calculations regarding electricity.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Smoking alternatives are not risk free. They deliver nicotine, which is addictive. They are intended for use by adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use nicotine products and are by no means a cessation method.
The best option to reduce the health risks associated with the use of tobacco and nicotine products is to quit their use altogether. However, for those adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, switching completely to vaping or heated tobacco products could be a better choice than continuing to smoke.
