This is something I've been trying to figure out... Please bear with me...
As I understand it, (and please correct me if wrong), the higher the resistance, the more power is needed to heat the coils?
Therefore, why do a lot of vapers need to run such high power through their low sub-ohm coils? I would have thought they'd need less power to heat those low resistance coils to get them really hot, to get big clouds. Yet, it seems like the trend is to go for lower Ohms and higher wattage.
I don't get it.
I normally vape at around 35-40W, on a 0.34 Ohm build. If I set the wattage too much higher, it's too hot and unpleasant for my taste. My regulated mod, when in 'Smart' mode, detects the coil and automatically sets the power to 55W. When I put in a lower resistance build - say 0.1 Ohm, it immediately sets the power to 70W.
This seems like reverse logic to me. But obviously I must be wrong, because lower resistance always seems to be associated with higher wattages.
I know there is something I am not understanding here, that is probably very simple to advanced vapers. I wonder if you could fill in the gaps for me.
Thanks.
