Resistance - coil size & mech mod builds

Hello everyone

I recently picked up a vgod pro that I intend to use with a new vtc4.

But before that I'd like to talk about different coil sizes while keeping ohms constant.

Look at these photos:

The resistance in both builds are almost the same. One is .19 and the other .21

But the vape experience is very different.

I personally vape on dual coils on regulated mods from .10 to .22
Wattage between 80 and a 100

I noticed that with smaller coils, despite them being the same ohm resistance as larger ones, the vape experience differs a lot.
So for sake of testing, I installed two coils more or less the same resistance, same wick length & thickness, same goon atomizers and juice I'm very familiar with

With smaller coils:
There is a ton of popping & spit back
I have to drop wattage to 20
Coils instantly get hot & juice tastes different
My puff length is also significantly shorter

With larger coils :
Opposite of the above
Ramp up time is much longer but I remedy that by pulsing it a bit before taking a proper puff


Why I'm mentioning all this is because I installed .19 ohm dual coils and a fresh battery

And the experience was just utterly whelming
Obviously long ramp up time but even then.
Just utterly underwhelming.

I guess by now you're probably wondering what I expected.
I guess I didn't have a lot of expectations.
92 watts from my build at 4.2 is technically the same as 92 watts on any of my regulated devices
I don't know.
Am I missing something?

Other than aesthetics (tube size vs box mod) and longevity (tube won't break like a reg mod), why go mech mod?

Do mech mods prefer a different style of coil build?
Low ohms but smaller coils?
Like I said, I don't like smaller coils (like in my photo) because of the popping/spit back & instant heat.

See this video where I demonstrate the popping from small coils vs large coils
You can hear the difference in popping.

Yeah y o u are for geting to factor in the wire. Ohm and wars are not the only determining factor.. the big one everyone ignores is the amount of metal used to create the ohm and or watts.
0.1 ohm at 90 watts can both be yellow hot and cold to the touch when fired... difference being only the amount of metal in the coil.

Glowing, yet cold to the touch? Could you post a vid of you touching glowing cold coils?

From my experience with mechanical, the breaking of a circuit board in a
regulated mod is possibly a very important reason to use mechanical.
Coils for mechanical be made to any size inner diameter you want, the
same as with regulated mods. Not sure there is really any great
different style of coils either. Yes, some do build artistic coils I'm
sure but a coil is a coil, is a coil ultimately.
