I know that the size of the vapor cloud depends on how much VG you have in your liquid, but does it also depend on the coil resistance that your using? I always use 1.8ohm coil heads and I was curious if I would get bigger clouds if I bumped up to 2-2.5ohm coils?
Does the size of the vapor cloud depend on the coil resistance?

It depends on the amount of vapor being produced, which is a product of coil temperature, wire mass, juice and airflow. Coil temperature can be effected by resistance, but is usually more about wattage, higher resistance with the same voltage will result in lower wattage. Keep in mind that as your coil temp goes up, your airflow and juice flow need to keep up, otherwise you get dry/burnt hits.
Lower ohms, not higher, will likely provide you with more clouds. But there is so much more that goes into vapor production than just resistance.
With variable voltage mods less resistance with the same voltage will make more power (watts). With mechanical mods less resistance will make more power. With a variable wattage mod the power (watts) is what you set it to. As long as you're not burning juice, vapor production is going to be much more influenced by power than resistance.
There is much more to it than this, but for the variables I've talked about, this is the jist of it.
Probably NOT. Because the 1.8coil head is probably made to run hotter than the 2 - 2.5 coil is while also being bigger. The 1.8 coil often thicker wire Sounds like you are using a clearo, kanger or aspire? making clouds going to come down to what gauge and how much wire is use to build a coil, the ohms of the coil and the amount of power fed to the coil, wicking ability and airflow.
Here is a great post that explains it all. It is a long read but well worth it.

Good job, you beat me to it. Exactly the article I was searching for. Great read
If this is Kanger single-coil, e.g. EVOD, Protank 1-2, they appear to use the same wire for the different resistances so the higher one will handle more power, but you'll have to give it more voltage for it to pull more power, and the increase is fairly small. Others may do this also within a model line. Usually I pick the resistance that works well within the range of all my batteries (2.2 ohms). HOWEVER, this case is the opposite of what most people talk about with resistance. Usually lower resistance coils are built to draw more power from a standard voltage battery, and therefore are larger in order to handle it without burning themselves or the juice (which there is more of in contact). The combination of both produces more vapor.
