Atomizer head resistance and flavor - what gives ?

Okay, someone explains this to me:

* Tried with 4 separate Mini Protank 2 clearos with 4 different flavor juices and an eVic:

- 2.2Ω heads, U=4.1V, P=7.6W --> Good amount of vapor, flavors okay but not to die for.
- 1.8Ω heads, U=3.7V, P=7.6W --> Same amount of vapor, but holy flavors Batman!

* Tried with 5 separate iClear 30 clearos with 5 different flavor juices and the same eVic:

- 2.1Ω heads, U=4.1V, P=8W --> Good amount of vapor, great flavors.
- 1.5Ω heads, U=3.5V, P=8W --> Good amount of vapor, "dead" flavors and ashy aftertaste in some juices (not burnt though).

I get more or less the same results with the same voltage/power settings, but using an eGo C Twist or an innokin iTaste VV V3 instead of the eVic.

I assume manufacturers use slightly different gauge wires, or add/remove a coil to vary the resistance rating in their atomizers, but essentially they're not wildly different coils. Yet for a given brand/make of atty, when I feed the same power - i.e. roughly the same heating effect locally on the same wick - the flavors come out of not. And it's not even consistent between different brands.

That makes no sense to me...

protank is bottom coil and the iclear 30 is top coil, makes a big difference to me in taste. I can hit the bottom coils with more power but due to wicking I assume it is, the top coils taste dry/burnt. you must like high ohm coils on top coil and low ohm on bottom coils. :):):)

Yeah okay, but why the same power in the same clearo with different resistance attys = totally different flavor rendition? Note that I didn't say it tasted dry or burnt or anything. It always worked, just more or less well, and I can't think of a reason why.
