No hypothesis. Its Physics 101.
It is a hypothesis since it's obviously incomplete. You were shown one theoretical example (the 0.5Ω - 1Ω thingy) and one experimental (which if you don't believe me then it's dead easy and cheap to verify).
For another example you can go over to steamengine, dial in those coils I tested and look at the recommended power... (assuming that there's any degree of usefulness to their recommendations ;))

The theoretical example alone though is enough to put "lower resistance always needs more power" back in its place on the drawing board. Nevertheless I recommend the experiment, I found the result surprising, not at all what I had thought it would be.

Should maybe post that over in that "vaping music" thread :D

As a VAGUE generality, as resistance decreases wattage MAY increase.

There are so many other determining factors that rather than list them all (it has been done above) I'm going to say, just prime your new coil as you hopefully already do, taking long slow drags, and I start at 0 meaning I don't fire the mod. Then increase a few watts at a time (taking long slow draws to wick juice up into the coil and if you get no visible vapor, it's fine, just you know, keep priming and increasing). You will hit a wattage you like, it may or may not be higher than your other coil, but what matters is that you like the vape. Etc.

Best of luck,

Anna
