Ohms, a simple explanation

Ohm.. that's the resistance.. the lower the number, the lower the resistance, the higher the heat (and reached faster).

With a decent regulated mod, I always recommend staying within 0.2ohm at the lowest, up to around the 1ohm range. This has an impact on the battery in regard to a battery's capacity and safety.

If you're more into mtl (mouth to lung), then I recommend that you stick to higher ohms.

Remember when building that each coil should be identical, and their resistance is shared, so a set of 1ohm coils, will give you a total of 0.5ohm.

Note that various metals, different gauge (thickness of wire), how many wraps used, can give you very different coils that have the exact same Ohm reading BUT will require different wattage to heat up to a similar level.

If you haven't read or use Steam engine, the de facto site for the Ohm calculator, here are links:

Let me know if I missed something, and please go read and enjoy all my other entries as I'm building my blog, I'm trying to cover every aspect of vaping that I know about. I'll keep adding items as I think of them and have the time to write them.
