Ohms

There's no need for a discussion since it's so easy to test:
-produce 2 identical coils (same wire gauge, same mandrel, same number of wraps, contact for consistency) of different material (eg SS and Kanthal). One will be lower the other higher resistance.
-use the same atomizer and use something to guarantee you have the exact same distance from the posts (like a piece of thin wood, some stacks of cardboard or credit cards)
-make two runs (each with one of the coils installed) of 10 firings at 10W (to pronounce any difference) with letting them cool inbetween to where they don't feel warm to the touch
-stop the time from firing until you see dark red (that's why we fire 10 times to reduce measurement errors)

Anyone that's interested enough can do this and have the answer. Much more convincing than any amount of posts

Well that's no fun.

As long as you have a safe, satisfying, repeatable vape, it really matters not how you get there. Vaping is about not smoking. End-users debating the physics of it is mostly futile. No matter what evidence one may show, our "perceptions" will mostly prevent us from understanding.

Good luck!

Agree…sort of, if the issue is merely limited to ohms.

Personally, I wish every new vaper over the past 4 had learned to build one of these (and had passed it on)…

And they might have found their sweet spot a lot faster. Come to think of it, a lot of things might be different. Ah well, wish I had the time.

No one way, but there's a quick way.

Good luck.

p.s. My great thanks for your encouragement @aldenf goin way back.
