Thoughts on the 1.8-2.0 oHm coils?

[SmokieTreats]

Just got a pack a these when I ordered some Fusion.

Any suggestions on what liquids to use or NOT use with these on a 400/900mAh Triton?
(saw in another post they're good for the "clearer" liquids. So, guess nothing heavy like Belgian Cocoa or Cafe Mocha, but other stuff is o.k.?)

& (stupid question) but is it essentially the same as using the 2.2-2.4oHm on a higher voltage with the VV?
Essentially just a simple matter of final wattage, right?
(I would not be putting these on a VV at all, probably... just got em thinking they'd gimme a bit more -SHAZAM!- on my regular batteries. Me likey lotsa Flavor & Vapor )

There's two ways to lower the resistance of a coil:
1) use a higher gauge wire
2) use fewer loops to make the coil

I don't believe that most coils use #2; there is a need for a large surface area in order for the e-liquid to vaporize correctly.

The interesting thing about different gauges, is how it increases the mass of the coil; some of the heat gets transferred right away, and because the coil is "bigger", there's a higher capacity for more heat to be transferred.

Many here on ECF's mech mod forum point to a 28 gauge coil wire as "ideal" (unless you're trying to get unusually massive clouds) but I don't know for sure if the standard coil uses that 28 gauge coil wire. While a bigger wire results in a slightly larger surface area, it doesn't make up for the hotter temperature.

So the general advice is right; if you go below the standard, some juices that have flavorings that are particularly temperature sensitive will leave a burnt taste, regardless of the voltage you apply.

That's the theory, at least. I've never tried lower ohm'ed coils, although I've had a few standard ones short in the middle area.

...but I don't know for sure if the standard coil uses that 28 gauge coil wire.

The standard resistance Triton coils I'm looking at are all thinner than 28. They look like 30, but I'm not really sure.

Uh... so throw em in the garbage?
Come on, there's gotta be a practical use for the 1.8's in a Triton setup.
28-gauge vs 30-gauge ... tom-a-to tom-ah-to.
I know this'd CLEARLY be relevant to someone with a rebuildable mod setup.
But I'm just trying to get some general advice on Liquids that would benefit from this level of resistance (with Whatever-gauge wire is in there), or what Liquids NOT to use with 1.8's.
Maybe I should just experiment blindly and set some more $$$ ablaze?
- Sorry bout the sarcasm, I'd just prefer not to scorch any Liquid or fry any wicks/coils unnecessarily-

Ugh... you asked for details; you got'em!

Chocolate flavors are known to be particularly sensitive, but there are more than several ways to achieve a particular flavor, so no one really knows if one works, until we try it.

Word.
And there you have it.
