I'd be interested reading whatever it was that indicated that. I can't think of any reason that there could be any appreciable difference in the vaping experience at the same wattage but different amps, but I always leave open the possibility that I'm wrong so I don't get "stuck" being wrong whilst busy thinking I'm right
Interesting point. But vaping a 28g coil vs a 32g coil is very different.
So by way of an easy example using this info, if you are vaping at 4v on a 2ohm coil, the wattage is the same for both 28g and 32g, which we all know by heart is 8 watts.
But the 28g coil will be about 11 wraps on a 2.5mm wick, the 32g will be about 5 wraps. If both coils are both spaced at the same distance, you have greater wick coverage with the 28g. However, you are also distributing that same amount of wattage over greater surface area.
That is probably one reason why you can vape at say, 20 watts like victimdies.
So while he is generating some serious heat, he must be distributing that over a greater area of wick or he would be burning his joose. In order to distribute that heat, he needs lower resistant wire and more of it. Lower resistant wire also requires more amps to achieve the same surface area heat transfer, so watts by itself is probably not the best way to describe a vape experience.
The source below states that 28g Kanthal requires a little bit more than 2x the amperage of 32g Kanthal to reach the same wire temp. So it get more complex. Real world we know that it takes 28g vs 32g a bit longer to heat up as well.
I would love for you guys to talk about how wattage is not a good way to define your vaping preference. Things such as the kick and other vw devices maintain a constant wattage but depending on your setup can vastly change your experience even with the same wattage.
