Thats a fine looking coil, but as Ben said the sheer quantity of metal it contains has some undesirable qualities.
The ramp up and particularly down times must be very long indeed, Think of an old school electric hob. You can overcome the ramp up with lots of power but you cannot stop the heat retained in the coil from cooking your wicks and juice for several seconds after you power off.
Very thick wire like 22G is intrinsically inefficient.
If you have two lengths of wire with one twice the thickness of the other, the thicker wire will have twice the surface area but four times the mass. Once you understand this it's easy to see that coils made from lots of wraps of thin wire will be exponentially more efficient.
This means less power but same vapor production, or the same power and more vapor production.
Remember that a regulated device theres no need to use low resistance coils like there is with an unregulated device.

Yep, all good points. This was built because I'm waiting on an order from Temco and wanted to use up a couple of nearly empty spools, and because I was bored and felt like building something cool looking. The one thing I do like about this one is I can crank up the wattage without getting a super-hot vape. Even at 120w it's quite cool. Next one will likely be 3 strands of 29g helix'd with 36 or even 40g. Might take a shot at a quad coil build with those gauges.
