This gif sums it up pretty much, replace ram with power. Chrome = .16 ohm coil

Funny.

But one thing I've learned is that many build crazy coils with coat hanger wire, requiring so much power it's scary, while a smaller gauge, different metal type and you can cut that down tremendously. I've tried several gauge, claptons, etc. and in the end, there's not a huge difference as long as you do your coil right and wick it correctly.

Surface contact where having 3-4 wraps on huge wire needing 150W, compared to a 12-19 wrap on a thinner wire at 1/3 the power, is going to be very close to the same surface area anyways.. there's lots of illusion that comes with coils and size that people don't understand the math behind it.

Wire mass will govern power required.
You could throw in some dual hydroponic bubonic staggered stapled zippered coils that read .16, then spin up say some dual ss26g parallels that that come out at .16.

It depends what each vaper is after. A wise man once said, there's no wrong way to eat a reeses.
