uh, no thanks, I'll just take that spool of round wire over there.

Wouldn’t it rather look like this?

It doesn't matter what kind of coil (resistor) you have installed in an rba. Current (I) will flow through the entire coil (R) {and circuit} when energy (V) is applied. Like so:

A coil is a very simple resistor. Ohm's (Ω) are it's known value.

Yes, it would do. The current flowing through each coil is directly proportional to the resistance of each wire.

Yes, it would do. The current flowing through each coil is directly proportional to the resistance of each wire.

Exactly what I was taught in my electronics training. All that theory proved itself in actual practice as a Tech Rep. Of course, resistance changes everything and a bad connection throws off the expected result.

I've always been happy with low wattage vapes that reproduce something similar to a cigarette. I've seldom exceeded 10W in my vape coils unless I'm dry burning to clean a coil.
