Using high wattage: Low ohm vs High ohm

[Cloudpack]

Hey everyone, will a low-ohm coil with less surface area will give more production than a high-ohm coil with more surface area? And will 22awg give me less resistance than 26awg?

I will be using a sigelei 150 box and I dont know whether to go low resistance or high resistance.

Thanks for the help!

To actually get something to vape that high I recommend going with 24 or 22ga. Wrap for wrap with the same ID coils of 22ga will give you lower resistance builds than the 26ga wire. The higher the gauge the higher the resistance. Just make sure you don't build your builds to high of a resistance or you won't get the full 150w out of the Sig 150w. I think if I'm not mistaken the highest resistance build you can get the 150w at is .48 as from what I can find it has a max output voltage of 8.5v. If you have an android phone/tablet. Download vaper's toolbox it has a nifty coil calculator to get you in the ballpark that your build will be and you can compare different wire gauges with it. It's not perfect but it's a good guess. It also has an ohm's law calculator that can be useful.

Building coils is a dark art. It is not as easy as the videos make it look. For that reason, you may find it less stressful to start out at least using the thinner wire and a higher resistance.

what kind of wattage do you want to run?? from that point you can determine your design for the coil/ohms

Just depends really. If you want flavor and vapor, go with a higher Ω build, if you want heat and vapor, go with the lower Ω. I'm currently using a 26 ga., 10 wrap dual on a 3mm ID, Ω's out at 0.7. Vaping at 75 watts, excellent flavor and vapor. I might build some slightly lower, maybe 8 wraps and give that a shot. I built some 24 ga., 12 wraps on 3 mm that Ω out at .54, that works great on my Hellfire mech box, but that bad dude is pumping 8.4 volts on fully charged batts. Anything lower and it's waaaaaaaay too hot for me. Works great on the 150w box too.

Give us a bit more information please. What RDA or tank do you have, are you going to use one coil or dual and how many watts do you want to set up for?

Basic 3 post tobh atty.dual coil and up to 150 watts.
Thanks!

Wattage depends on to many things. What voltage did you have in mind?
low volts/high watts = low resistance
high volts/high watts = high resistance

Any way you slice it, you always have to have two of the variables to come up with the third. So 150 watts all by itself means nothing.
