Everything you should know about wire (almost) by The Vaping Biker

Clear and simple.

So that explains why a single kanthal coil with an extra wrap actually takes more battery life to do it's job vs one with 5 wraps because you've taken away some of the resistance. No wait.. I'm more confused than ever now Why don't they just say conductivity lol the whole resistance thing is logically backwards to me because more means less and visa versa..

You can look at it this way, more wire you have, the more power you need to heat it up.
Resistance is only one of the parameters.

I get the more meat more power thing. The one I don't get is the ohms drop rather than climb when you add more coils. This is why I use regulated mods. I'll end up in hospital if I don't haha Like most vapers I have no electrical engineering background whatsoever.

Take a few minutes. You'll get it quick.

Edit: Ignore what I said. Look below.

The one I don't get is the ohms drop rather than climb when you add more coils.

Two coils in parallel setup basically act as one ticker wire (resistance drops).
Two coils in serial setup act as one longer wire (resistance increases).

This diagram is very helpful

That really is a great video for Ohms law!

Haha a reply to the end part. Yeah we use wires for resistors and make it useful by vaping!
