Do high ohm atomizers last longer?

[Rokey]

I've been using 1.8 ohm coils for the Protank 2 on a Vamo 5. Because of the juice I prefer, I have found I get the best taste at the lowest voltage the Vamo allows (3.0 volts). This is working out fine, but my coils need to be replaced weekly or even sooner (Please note: I've tried the cleaning and dry burning stuff, and it just doesn't work out mathematically to be worth my time. Because of this, I'm completely uninterested in tips on rebuilding. Besides, I have shaky hands!).

Because I am not trying to achieve some sort of maximum voltage like many people do and am actually finding myself thinking more resistance might be a good way to go, my question is pretty simple. Would I be better off getting the 2.5 ohm coils (or higher if they make them)? I'm wondering if a higher resistance coil will outlive a lower resistance coil at the same wattage. I think I will get the higher resistance ones in the future, as I can reduce the watts and maybe get a better taste. But I'm still curious if a higher resistant coil will outlast a lower one with the same wattage setting.

Watts is power is the amount of heat you are putting into the coil. So a 2 ohm coil at 10 watts makes the same amount of heat as a 4 ohm coil at 10 watts. They should theoretically make the same amount of flavor, vapor and TH, though it's a bit more complicated than that.

The more voltage you apply to the coil the higher the power will be at the same resistance. But lower resistance coils will make more power with the same voltage as long as the PV can supply the current required. Here is a Ohm's Law online calculator. You plug in 2 known variables like voltage and resistance, hit calculate and it spits out watts and amps. Play around with it and I think you'll get the idea pretty quickly

The higher resistance coils are probably made with thinner wire than the lower resistance coils. That will likely make them more fragile. Of course if you don't clean or dry burn them this might not make any difference to you. A bit of experimentation will give you all the answers.

From my experience with Rebuildable tanks:

If I have a coil at 1.2 ohms, it'll last me about a week before it gets gunked up to the point that I don't want to use it anymore.
If I have a coil at 2.5 ohms, it lasts about a week before it gets gunked up to the point that I don't want to use it anymore.

Since you're using a variable voltage device, you can use either of those, and it shouldn't bother you any to play around with the voltage. Don't expect more than a week out of a head though, that's pretty much the soft-rule. There are people that say their coils last a month or more, but those are more of the exception.

If you want to make your coils last longer, your juice is a big factor. The more flavoring that's in the juice, the faster it'll clog up. Unflavored should last the longest, but it's fairly lackluster.

Honestly though, give the higher resistance coils a try. Worst case is that you vape at a higher voltage for a month or so.
