Did you consider going back to the OP and not diverting the thread further?
That's when one asks the OP questions to determine a relevant suggestion.

Your ohm rating really isnt THAT significant to your vape. With the proper voltage, you should be able to achieve a satisfying vape with a VV or VW device. Super low ohm is for enthusiasts and not practical for all intents and purposes
You actually asked a question closer to the OP
Sorry about rawring like this. But while we go off debating watts vs wire temperature, the OP would like to place an order before Friday. Does he have to start a new thread with the same question and then get hassled for that? (This isn't directed at anyone in particular.)
No, the point of a higher ohm coil, is to lower the temperature, for a different vaping experience. Voltage remains the same (current draw is reduced).
I'll pass on more voltage; that's not part of the OPs opening.

You link that thread and post this??
Hey Doug!! Kewl name!! (mine too) In my experience to me, it depends on the juice. When i was vaping Lemon and orange i preferred the lower ohm (1.8) for the warmer vape. It seemed to make the flavor stand out a bit more. But now that im hooked on Double Apple, i like the 2.5 to vape it with. Its a very kewl vape with a crisp flavor.
Now with that being said, this is the 3rd thread today where ive seen a reasonably simple questioned thread turn into a freakin ohm vs sub ohm, my rba is better than your rba, highly technical debate that had zero to do with what the OP was asking.
Really?!?!? jeezus people

Yeah, in retrospect, maybe I should have just stayed out of this thread.You link that thread and post this??
I see way too many people going on about VV/VW, and it's really not a complete solution, for what one ends up expecting out of one.
I actually THOUGHT that now that I had a VV/VW device, that it wouldn't matter much whether I used the 1.8 ohm coils I'd decided worked best on my Ego batteries, or the 2.2-2.4 ohm coils I had lying around from before I decided that.
HOWEVER, fiddling and fiddling and fiddling with my ProTank, trying to find out why I didn't like the flavor as much as I did with an EVOD, ONE of a dozen things I did was to switch the coil to a 1.8. And guess what?
I CAN TASTE the difference between using a 1.8 ohm coil and a 2.2 ohm coil - even if I'm using them with the same clearo, the same juice, and both set at 8 watts.
So - bottom line is - you should try a higher resistance and lower resistance coil and decide which one works for you best.
There may be some battery life trade-off, but it's a little tricky, because the voltage is getting fiddled with by the mod...
I don't think the OP specified a device - if it's NOT variable - if it's a fixed voltage EGO, then it's more likely that you'd get a better vape with a lower resistance - the battery doesn't have enough oooomph (that's a technical term) for most people when paired with something much over 2 ohms...

I think knowing what type of battery the OP is using might be a tiny bit important.
That's freaking hilarious, I just snorted my drink thru my nose....

O no offense taken, and the pic gave me a chuckle....
But OP like the question Ocelot was asking you earlier is this what device or batt delivery system do you have.
If you have a vv device that will give off different readings ohms=resistance which RO but actually looks more AO then it may
read 1.8 or maybe 2.0. But if not the package on your heads coils should tell you the guesstimate of the ohms.
Now believe me I took a intro elec class but all this stuff is way over the top. So hope my real world example helps.
I have a variable voltage device with a certain tank that I like. I bought so I.8 ohm coils to see how it
would work. Didn't like the amount of vapor it produced throat hit etc. So I started fiddling around, and I put a head in there that
says or is 2.6 ohms. The sweet spot was found.So I know some of us might be OCD especially me. But it's about finding the right
sweet spot for the hardware u are using.
I don't know your budget, but what you can do especially if the price is reasonable. Get a pack of say 1.8 ohms and a pack of say 2.5 or 2.2ohms and see which combination blows your hair back and gives you that just right sweet spot for the hardware you are using.
I guess it's like this our set ups are like the computers and the coils heads and wicks are the proper software.
Or maybe u have to see if dress shoes are better on the basketball court than tennis shoes.
I hope this helps cause I was just going through the same issue.
Now on to learning how to rewick a protank head !!!!!!!!!

I ve just read through this thread and this is the first meaningfull answer to a novice I have seen yet. Of course, If the OP had cared enough to get back in here and answer Mistress Ocelots question, It could have been answered really quickly.
The 1.8 coil is gonna taste better but you need to cool out on the volts/watts. Dont go over 3.7 and I suggest 3.4 or 3.5 so you dont blacken/burn your wick so quickly and it will taste better at the lower setting.
If you just have an ego battery...only get the 1.8. The 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 will not get heated up enough to give you much of a vape. You will find yourself doing double and triple draws to get the same vape as you would had you had a coil at 1.8. They used to sell 1.5 ohm heads for Protanks and they were PERFECT for the ego battery.
If you have a vv/vw mod, you can certainly use the higher ohm coil because now you have the ability to raise the volt/watts to heat the thing up to get the vape you want. But I still say the taste is not quite as good as the lower ohm coil.
OK.... Im done.
Thats exactly what I would do. Whats it cost to learn what you like best. 12 Bucks for 10 heads ?
OK. Getting serious for a second:
The OP posting that he had a Vamo in another thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ssion/440848-vamo-3-upgrade.html#post10059223
So let's see....the easy answer is:
Use "middle of the road" ohms for most vv/vw devices, but be aware of performance differences (particularly battery life). Many VV mod users report better battery life with lower ohm ranges. However, it's totally dependent on device design. My VV box mod is more efficient at higher voltages/ohms.
So...use the 1.8 to 2.5 ohm stuff for your Vamo. This gives you some "wiggle room" on the bottom side and top side. If you go all the way down to 1.5 or over 2.5 you may "bump" into voltage upper/lower bounds. The whole idea of VV is to be able to "tweak" it based on coil variances and juice flavor and preference.

Thank You Train!
I use Egos and Twists mostly. I also have a vvvw device. I have found that 1.8 - 2.1 s the most tasty of all of the ohms.
I am a low budget vaper...
I never go past 7.5 watts total, no matter what inexpensive PV I am using. If I go higher, stuff tastes burnt. I get plenty of vapor. I like EVODS and I-16 clearos. I mostly vape fruits and candy. Candied Fruit. And Tiramisu.
I am sure many others with more expensive and numerous equipment coupled with a more thorough knowledge of electricity than I possess will chime in shortly.

For me, my experience has been the lower the Ohm the more prone it is to dry hits and that burning taste. On the other end, the higher Ohms mute the flavors a little bit and voltage needs to be increased to get some of it back.
Your milage may vary.

I'm not an electrical engineer but I play one on TV. I prefer 1.8 ohms on my Ego. Seems to give me better vapor production.
