common sense, this issue should be common knowledge

i have found in my experience that the diameter of wire used to build a coil improves vapor production, throat hit, flavor, and nic strength. after spending the weekend testing an rda sub-ohm and getting nicked out with 9mg. that and my progression/history of vaping linked meaning into something i am convinced should be common knowledge. the only tests done by the fda were on a ecig alike. they, i think claimed 40% transference rate of nicotine from said source. i say the larger the wire the greater % of nicotine transferred. i know about the testing dr. farsalinos is conducting and i believe it will reveal my findings to be true.
i am interested if any of you reading this agree/disagree or have an opinion on this. i started a thread in new members called"helios rda blows me away. it began as one thing and turned into an experiment in sub-ohming. i drew my conclusion there. i also sent a short email to p.busardo about this and should have a reply soon.

To me common sense dictates that no one factor is responsible for increased vapor, nicotine, flavor. The wire diameter, coil size, coil shape, resistance, air flow, shape of the vapor chamber, e-liquid supply & wicking, wattage, voltage regulation, voltage drop if unregulated to name a few will, and all have an effect.

Common sense for me would indicate that the biggest factor would how much e-liquid is vaporized in a given time. On one setup, you sit down and vape for 15 minutes, use 1/4 mL of e-liquid at any strength, then switch to another setup that in 15 minutes uses high wattage and a full 1 mL of e-liquid. The second setup would of necessity deliver 4 time the nicotine, 4 times the flavor, 4 times the vapor to be able to use 4 times the e-liquid.

Which setup fits your liking, LOL, that can be as varied as what flavor e-liquid each vaper likes....:laugh:

Common sense is not always as apparent as it would first seem....:)
Take an old physics - calculus experiment, get 3 containers of equal size, fill one with tennis balls, one with ping-pong balls and one with BB's. Now which container has the most free space in it? Seems the BBs would fit closer together and fill more space, but the free space is exactly the same....:closedeyes:

Wire itself does not determine nicotine absorption. What does is the coil build, the function of the wick used, the air flow - all resulting in variability of the sheer volume of vapor produced. You create a larger volume of vapor, a larger volume of vapor means you are exposed to more nicotine based on the volume.
