5. Tank Design, Coil Material, and Personal Preference
While VG/PG ratio is a major factor, its not the only thing determining vaping bliss with your 0.6 ohm coil. The design of your tank significantly impacts wicking. Some tanks are designed with larger wicking ports, allowing e-liquid to saturate the coil more efficiently. Others have better airflow designs that help prevent dry hits. Research your tank and see what others are saying about its performance with different VG/PG ratios.
The material of your coil can also play a role. Different coil materials, like kanthal, stainless steel, and mesh, have different heating properties and wicking characteristics. Mesh coils, for example, tend to heat more evenly and wick faster than traditional coils. If youre having trouble with dry hits, try switching to a tank or coil thats known for its good wicking capabilities.
Ultimately, personal preference trumps all other factors. Some vapers prefer a warmer, more intense flavor, while others prefer cooler, smoother vapor. Some like big clouds, while others prioritize discreet vaping. The best VG/PG ratio, wattage, and airflow settings are the ones that provide the most satisfying vaping experience for you. Dont be afraid to experiment and find what you enjoy most.
Consider the type of nicotine you are using. Nicotine salts tend to work better in lower wattage devices, but freebase nicotine could be preferrable for higher wattage sub-ohm vaping.
