There's a certain combination of tipping points involved. Power (watts) is unit energy (joules) per unit time (seconds). In our case power is also the rate at which
electric energy coming from the battery (watt-hours) is turned to an equal amount of
heat energy so, on a regulated mod, the resistance of the coils doesn't have any impact aside from having a, generally moderate, impact on the efficiency of the mod in question, i.e. how much of the power just goes to waste whilst the mod fires. That is, as long the resistance is still within the range that complies with the hardware limitations of the regulated mod.
But heat is not the same as temperature. To raise the temperature by one degree, Kanthal wire, if using the same exact thickness and length, requires more heat than stainless steel wire does, for example, which means the latter choice of metal type ramps up faster (and also cools down faster). Nichrome 80 wire is a little bit faster still, on a regulated mod, watt for watt, and given the same wire thickness & length─and same number of wire strands, if they are multiple of course.
The rate at which heat is transferred from the coil into the juice is part determined by the total surface area of the coil, due to the juice coming in contact with the coil's surface. And is part determined also, by both the temperature of the coil's surface and the temperature of the juice.
But, as the part of the juice that fizzes vigorously on top the the coil's surface when it boils is turned to vapor, it, too, dissipates a lot of its own heat energy to both 1/ the surrounding air, or airflow and 2/ the actual evaporation process itself. A freezer works by evaporating a liquid substance and accelerating the evaporation process. Where this can get a bit confusing is after you also take into account the fact that increased air speed of air moving stably across the liquid surface is what causes increased rate of evaporation, which, in turn, causes increased rate of heat dissipation, i.e., rate of heat moving from the liquid surface to the surrounding airflow/vapor. Increased surface area of the liquid's surface also does the same, which is fairly obvious. Less obvious is that what happens to the temperature during a pull is the combination of all of these factors that are playing together. With faster evaporation comes faster-flowing juice out of the cotton wicks into the coils which is yet another thing that can also have a major impact on all of the above described physical phenomenae.
That being said, the higher you go up in wattage, the easier it generally becomes to burn stuff up and burn your mouth, BUT... there are certain things that we can do to avoid having to turn the wattage down and still be able to get the kind of vape experience that does NOT feel like sticking a heat gun in our mouth (or like inhaling rocket engine exhaust from Elon Musk's latest experiment, if you mean what I get
). It's all rather multifactorial like I said, and, a lot can be achieved by experimenting with various different airflow characteristics and atomizer choices, coil choices, positioning of the coils when using a rebuildable atomizer,... the list goes on. Given the type of vape hardware that can be used for fine tuning some or most of the variables, it is possible to modify both the flavor and how the vape feels like, an infinite number of different ways. Once you hit that sweet spot, the vape can in fact turn out to be so significantly improved in pure terms of how it redefines your own comfort zones, preferences, and priorities, that you might start to think of it as a whole new hobby to maybe want to pursue. Which some of us do.
