Is there a vape production difference?

Hey guys,

I was thinking earlier about ohms law and stuff, but i cant seem to figure out if theres a difference or not?
Example,
Lets say i wanna vape at 100watts theres multiple ways for example a 0.16 ohm coil at 4V will be 100watts, now you could also do 8V at 0.64ohm and its also 100w...
Its just one is at 8v and other is 4v...
Is there a difference in vapor production because you are pumping out more power with the 8v?
Or is it both the same just one is a hotter vape then the other?
and 100watts is 100watts?
Im pretty sure one is just a hotter vape but i thought id ask to make sure i understand it well...

Not like im going to vape at 8v lol way to hot its just examples btw

Thanks for all the help lately!

Personally, I am quite happy vaping between 12 - 30 watts. Anything over that, to me, seems like overkill. But, I get it, some people enjoy high wattage vaping.

For me, vaping has always been about replacing cigs. I never smoked a cig that was anywhere near 50, 70 or 150 watts. LOL

Yea i thought so 100 watts is 100watts but the heat is also the same tho? Like a cold 100 vs hot 100w or doesnt work that way?
I dont rly vape 100w unless its an rda that needs at least that much but thats cause of airflow..
Usually im between 50-80w anything lower than 40-50w just isnt enough for me anymore so vaping at 12w just isnt satishfying to me but everyone different yea some people find 100w so intense they cough lol while for me it has like no effect.
It was just an example lol

I wish i could find vaping at 12w-25w enjoyable it would save me a ton of juice and no battery swaps as much..
Or maybe i need to get a good MTL tank and maybe itll be satishfying enough i will expirment more cause swapping batteries 3 times a day is anoyying

    Vapor production comes down to three items:
    - surface area
    - temperature
    - air flow

    Needed power basically comes down to two items:
    - mass (of BOTH the coil and wick)
    - air flow (to a lessor extent)

    I regularly cloud up any room I'm in or car/truck with <=25W setups.

    How?

    I specifically design my builds to be efficient enough so that I'm running out of juice about the same time as the battery needs to be charged. Then I just swap to another device (or refill the juice and swap the battery if it can't be charged in the device).

    I generally use a single wire spaced coil of 26-29AWG 2.5MM ID 6-8 wraps. Filled (NOT packed) with rayon.

    Works for me for the last 7-9yrs.

    YMMV.

    When you are vaping using wattage, don't worry about voltage. Your mod sets the voltage automatically. Same is true with your resistance. Within it's set parameters, the mod will set the voltage to produce your 100 watts no matter what resistance you use.

    Then, different coil configurations produce differently, and that has nothing to do with your 100 watts.
    The coils are different is all.
