Micro coil needing less wattage for a good vape. Questions.

[jamesfarrell]

So I have my trust AGA T's

I've been using mesh and .28 kanthal, 4-5 wraps, sometimes 6. Trying to get enough wraps to get the resistance up enough for my VV mods is a PITA. So I started experimenting and I managed to get enough wraps around the mesh wick to get about 1.5 ohms. Enough for my VV mod, Seigeli Zmax mini.

However I have to crank the watts up to like 10+ to get a good throat hit, which drains the battery in like 2 hours.

So I make a micro coil with .28 kanthal, about 9 wraps, comes out to about 1.7 ohms and I'm using ecowool and now I get a good vape @ 7w, which I assume will make my battery last longer.

I'm wondering why I need less wattage with the micro coil?

The smaller internal diameter and compressed length of the coil means that each loop is sharing heat with the ones next to it and across the wick, so it gets hotter with less power. That's what makes them so good
