I understand what ohms are good with certain voltages but what I don't get is how you determine ohms. Is it by the thickness of the coil or how many times it's wrapped around the wick or am I completely off. Also what is the difference in how many times you wrap a coil around a wick.
Ohms ????

Ohms are determined by the gauge (thickness) of the wire, the length of the wire and the materials from which the wire is made.
It sounds like you're talking about making coils for a rebuildable atomizer, and trying to understand what's going on.
Kent's right about what causes Ohms, and why they are the way they are. Alittle more depth though:
WIRE 34ga .006" 30' (.16mm 9m) RESISTANCE 20.40 ohm/ft
That's a random listing that I pulled off the google. What you want to pay attention to is the last number: 20.40 ohms/ft.
That means that 1 foot is ~ 20.4 ohms. From that, we can divide by 12 and figure that 1 inch of this wire is ~ 1.7ohms.
The number of wraps has more to do with the surface area that's in contact with the coil than the resistance. More surface contact = more vapor, generally speaking. The trade off is that it still needs to fit into the little spot that's designed for it to be in, and you don't want them too close together that they're all trying to burn off the same drop of liquid.
