MTL coils - best resistance?

[stackx]

Hello MTL'rs...
Usually with the coils I'm around 1 ohm with electronic and at 0.7 / 0.8 in mechanic. Regardless of the wire material that I use (the most often on 28 ga, in 2/2,5 diameter). I also tried some crafted nano clapton and nano alien, specific for mtl

Did you buy those or make them yourself?

I bought them. I don't have the skills or the patience nor the good sight to be able to do it myself

Alas! 

But usually I go with simple round wire. also because I vape almost exclusively NETs, and I have to change the resistence every tank (maximum two), and with that kind of mtl complex coil I would quickly become very poor

Resistance only really matters on non-variable mods,

Your answer right there. There's no "best". Use a gauge you are comfortable with, i.e. one that will not fall apart when you rewick, and buy loads of it. I never get the same result ohm wise.  Always between 1 and 1.6 ohms. Can't tell the difference.

I've not long got a DoggyStyle (animodz version). I first used 1.35 ohm coils, just put a 1.65 in there. It appears it's easier to get a cooler vape on the higher resistance coils. Using on a standard Pico mod. Using steam engine as a guide...typical the resistance on there doesn't do the x.x5 ohm, only x.x

I just do all sorts of different things... my two favourites at the moment are flat SS wires and hollow SS wire, usually vaping at around 25-35 watt.

My highest ohm coil at the moment is a 1.8ohm, 3mm kanthal (26awg, I think) in a spheriod clone at around 17w - and the lowest is a 2.5mm hollow stainless steel 20awg 0.18ohm in a gaslight atty on a Luna squonker.

I also like Nichrome 80 for a relativeley low ohm per wrap, and had a period of only doing claptons, which I think give great flavour.

For me, variety is the spice of life....

With vaping, there are so many variables - wire type, coil diameter, coil orientation, number of coils, number and spacing of wraps, wicking material, airflow, wattage - and all this before you even get to different attys and mods - that I don't even try to rate everything I do compartiveley, I either enjoy it, or change it.
