it is unfortunate to see how this is perceived.
time to break the law, i guess... ohm's law... (reference to prior experience, forgive me).
there are many ways to influence flavor, vapor and TH. they're all physical attributes whether they lend themselves to a difference in electrical current, resistance and/or power. your preferred vape isn't always as simple as IR=V.
it is well known that just the placement of the wraps of otherwise identical coils will influence the vape... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...271-micro-coils-increase-vapor-flavor-th.html
just making each wrap of a coil contact the former and latter will increase vapor, flavor and throat hit.
then you have air flow. too much air flow and you're going to cool the coil too much, mute the flavor and limit your vapor production, maybe with a side of airy draw or harsh, burnt flavor. not enough air flow and everything's burnt and harsh.
you also have chamber size, shape and depth or length. a longer, larger channel for the vape to flow through once it's produced will mute the flavor and vapor production. any obstructions along the path can have adverse reactions to your vape as well.
then you have wick size, length, placement and material. the right wick can and will completely change the game for anyone.
then you have coil material, gauge and length.
first let us imagine a 1" x 1" x 1/4" aluminum heat sink. then let us imagine a 4" x 4" x 1" heat sink with 3/4" deep fins machined into the 1". now imagine which one of those heat sinks is going to transfer the most heat away from the object it's built to cool and the difference in efficiency.
32 gauge kanthal would be equivalent to the 1" heat sink whereas 28 gauge kanthal would be quite a bit closer to 4" "high tech" heat sink when built to anywhere near the same resistance. between the lower resistance, larger diameter and the extra length needed to match the resistance of the 32 gauge coil, the 28 gauge kanthal would be massive in surface area and cooling potential and minuscule in heating ability at the same current.
for a working example, i'll refer to my protanks;
say i take 32 gauge, 30 gauge and 28 gauge kanthal and i make a bunch of wicks. maybe 3, maybe 100, who cares.
let's make them identical in inner diameter of the coils and resistance. we'll say 1.8Ω.
a 1.8Ω 28Ga coil in a protank takes 10 watts and a second or two just to heat up in a protank. if you chain vape, the protank gets hot and needs constant breaks because not only does the tank heat up, but so does the mod it's connected to. 15 watts is possible for a quick blast. almost impossible to burn wick or coil with 15 watts on this build, but also impossible to vape all day. the mod might over heat and shut down... often... and due to the chamber being hot, the vapor flavor and production will suffer greatly.
a 1.8Ω 30 Ga coil in a protank at 10 watts is heated and producing great vapor immediately. also plenty of room for air flow and cooling. though, there is a potential to burn a wick, but it's not likely.
a 1.8Ω 32 Ga coil in a protank at 10 watts will almost certainly burn your cotton. instant heat. not useful.
***************subsequently, i can get much higher wattage and/or higher juice consumption out of a single coil protank than i can out of an iclear 16B. the difference is astounding. and to get the same flavor out of the protank, it most certainly uses more juice at nearly the same wattage than it's dual bottom coil counter part, the 16B.
but the bottom line is: VW is VV... just your device chooses the Voltage for you according to your wattage preference. this works great on many devices and for stock coils and heads. not so much once you start to really tailor your vape, rebuilding, modding and tinkering. i change my wattage as often as i change heads these days.
provari(i/s) [what's the proper plural?], mechs and reo/rm2 currently in the mail heading this way.
