Question about Kanger coils

[Kiwiboo]

So, I got myself an Ohm meter and had a play with rewicking some of my single kanger coils.....then decided to compare my rewicked ones to "oem" ones. I noticed simething and was wondering if my theory makes sense.

the coils with the shorter chimney have a higher reading (2-5-2.8) than the ones with the taller chimney (1.6-1.8). It doesnt matter if its oem or a rewick.

Now heres the question: As these coil bits are the same size, save the height of the chimney, would it be safe to say that the taller chimneys would be best for lower ohms in rebuilds and the shorter ones for higher ohms?

i am not *quite* ready to rebuild, but I am saving all the bits from fried coils to eventually rebuild them.

thoughts?

thanx

Makes no difference whatsoever imho

That may be true; lower-ohm coils tend to be hotter, so a longer chimney would make sense -- and opposite that, for the higher-ohm coils.

The length of the vent tube has nothing to do with it - it makes no (practical) electrical connection and contributes nothing to the resistance of the coil itself. If it did, you could remove the vent tube and you would get a drastically different coil resistance measurement. Try it - you won't.

I don't believe that the height of the chimney has anything to do with ohms. I can build low or high ohms in all of them. It is the size of wire and number of wraps, dia. of coil.

Alright so maybe that was a dumbarsed question....but I had to know if anyone else had pondered it/tested it. (And I reckon my old man is either spinning in his grave or laughing at me, being he was an Electrical engineer). Sorry Pop

Thanx everyone
