    Hey yall.

    So I've been reading up and watching a bunch of videos on this for the last few hours.
    What I understood so far can be summarized as follows:

    1. Less resistance (lower ohms) = thinner the coil = more flavor + more vapor + more nicotine.
    2. Higher resistance (higher ohms) = thicker the coil = less flavor + less vapor + less nicotine.
    3. Higher the wattage = higher power = more flavor + more vapor + more nicotine.
    4. lower the wattage = lower power = less flavor + less vapor + less nicotine.

    So,
    5. If you run a low-resistance coil with low wattage = really low flavor, vapor and nicotine.
    6. If you run a high-resistance coil with high wattage = really high flavor, vapor and nicotine.
    7. Running a low-resistance coil with high wattage = running a high-resistance coil with low wattage (generally)

    ^ Is this correct?

    Also, if I got it, the correct coil and wattage to use with a 6mg freebase would be 0.3ohm at 38W instead of 1.2ohm at 14W. (Goal is to have the highest nic hit possible with the only liquid i have)

    Am I correct or am I dumb?

    You are very much correct on your points. Try your 0.3 ohm at 38 watts, as you suggested, and then dial the wattage up or down according to taste. If you can't get that to work, try the next step up in coil resistance. Good luck.
    Hell yeah! Glad I'm getting the hang of this quickly. Thanks for the clarification.
    Also, by this logic, If I was to get myself a 35mg salt-nic juice, I should use a high-resistance coil with low wattage to make sure i don't get dizzy - right?

    The only "Correct" ohms, resistance, & wattage are what suits your personal preference. Don't lose site of how important af (airflow) adjustments are. The great thing about building is that puts you in control and allows for tweaking until you find YOUR best vape experience with any atty.

    It's this one...

    Yup. That's what I got.

    If it's clouds that you want, then you are better off with a sub ohm device, and a tank and mod would be better than a pod device. That would require external batteries, but that has the advantage of that when your battery reaches the end of its life, your whole mod isn't shot. You just replace the batteries. 38w is mid range for power usage, so unless you want to be changing your batteries often, you are better off with a 21700 mod or a dual battery mod. Vaping.com has the Vaporesso Gen 200 kit for 45 dollars. It is a dual 26850 mod. I like the Gen, as it is my favorite mod. The Gen 200 is the same, but it has a larger screen. 6mg might be a bit much, but it depends on what your nicotine needs are. I subohm vape 8mg at 75w. If it is too strong, you can get some 0mg juice, and cut it.

    Nah not high resistance coil for more vapor if you want alot of vapor and flavor you need to use coils with low ohm/resistance its called subohm anything below 1.0 the lower the more vapor ull get then you wanna combine that with high wattage and high VG% juice and youll have clouds and very good flavor,

    High resistance ohm coils are mostly for MTL mouth to lung because the vapor it produces is little and you usually combine it with low wattage too,flavor still good

    I was interested in those vaporesso gen mods but arnt they made of plastic one review said without batteries the mod feels very cheap,
    Mods i buy is usually zinc metal

    I don't know about the Gen 200, but the OG Gen is aluminum. I bout about 8 of them because I liked the first one, which I'm still using after 2 years. It has a few minor paint dings now, but other than that it runs like new. The only flaw was that the magnets which hold the battery door in place came out, but a couple of drops of super glue fixed that. I'm pretty sure that the 200 is the same as the OG except it has a larger screen, and I think it's color, but I'm not sure.

    I did a bit of research. The plastic part of the mod is the rubberized texture grip. (OG doesn'thave this.) The body itself is aluminum. The tank is the iTank which uses CGI coils. Although I've never used this tank, as I prefer RBA'S, I've heard good things about it.
    I have no clue what yall are talking about lmao. I guess that won't be the case for long tho.

    Well IDK. I find that a 2.0 ohm coil is much easier to manage than an 0.2 ohm coil.
    At 4.0 volts a 2.0 ohm coil is only 2 amps and 8 watts, and you'll be surprised by how long a battery lasts.
    Mix your juice at 12mg nic in a 50/50 base, and you'll only use 3-4ml/day instead of the 15-30ml/day.

    I'm sorry but NO on ALL accounts.

    Ohms and power level have NOTHING to do with vapor output, flavor or nic level.

    #1 Vapor output is controlled by: surface area of the coil, temperature of it and the wicks ability to supply enough juice.
    Period.

    #2 Flavor is controlled by temperature and secondly by #1 above (surface area) and often forgotten third chamber size.

    #3 Larger diameter wire may have LOWER or HIGHER resistance (usually lower but dependent of type of wire used) but always would have more surface area to equal windings of smaller diameter wire.

    #4 Larger diameter wire has more MASS then a similar number of windings with a smaller diameter wire so requires more POWER to heat up in a reasonable amount of time. (less battery life)

    #5 According to Ohms Law, parallel resistance is HALF of value of individual resistor (or two coils in parallel). So two 1 ohm coils in parallel would represent to the mod 0.5 ohms.

    "Factory" drop in coils can and do have any number of series/parallel coil configurations thereby creating any number of final resistance values. Due to the number of internal coils (or not!) some may require much more (or less) power than others. (due to mass)

    With consideration of 'nicotine salts' that can be quickly absorbed by the human body it is generally recommended to use high/low pairing. Meaning, low vapor output for high nicotine juice and high vapor output for low nicotine juice, The reason for this is that it is fairly easy to GET SICK from to much nicotine using nicotine salts at high percentages and high vapor output devices.
