Ohm ?

Hi can someone tell me what heats up faster a 0.35 coils or a 0.85 coil - im just trying to understand ohms ?

It's not the ohms that controls how fast coils heat up, it's the applied power and mass of the coil. Big thick heavy coils will need more power and take longer to heat up than small light coils, however big coils have more surface area so can heat more juice at once. This is where the trade off between vapour production and power comes into play.

It depends on if you are using a regulated or an unregulated device. Heat up time is s function of mass (the gauge or thickness of the wire used) and power (Watts). Generally a lower resistance coil will be able to handle a higher temperature generated by a higher power. Don't confuse the parameter and the units of measure:
Power - measured in Watts
Resistance - measured in Ohms

So what is thicker 22AWG OR 24AWG ?

22awg is thicker [emoji5]

I didn't know there was a 22awg, the 24awg is like fencing wire, so gotta get me some 22awg.

The wire i have at moment just says 0.45 written on it - what AWG is that please ?

If is .45mm it would be 25awg where is the wire from and can you upload a pic of the spool?

It's goes all the way up to 1awg and even beyond 0,00,000,0000awg

1AWG is over 7mm thick though, so I wouldn't recommend it for vaping!
