Alright, let’s talk about this coil thickness thing, you know, for those vape thingamajigs. I ain’t no expert, but I’ve heard folks talkin’ about it, so I’ll tell ya what I know, the way I understand it.
What’s this coil thing anyway?

Well, from what I gather, this coil, they call it a “vape coil” sometimes, it’s like the little heater inside that vape contraption. You pour that juice stuff in, and the coil heats it up and makes that smoky stuff you puff out. Now, how thick that coil is, that’s what they call “coil thickness,” or somethin’ like “ohm,” I think. It matters, they say.
Thick coil, thin coil, what’s the diff?
See, it’s like this, the thicker the coil, the more power it needs, I reckon. They got these numbers, like 0.6 ohm, 0.7 ohm, 0.8 ohm, 1.8 ohm, and even bigger ones like 2.4 ohm and 2.8 ohm. Them smaller numbers, like 0.6 and 0.7, them are the thick ones. They need more juice from the battery, more of them “watts” they talk about. Like that 0.7 ohm one, they say it needs somethin’ like 18 to 23 watts. That’s a lot, I guess. But it makes a lot of smoke, and the flavor’s strong, they say. Warmer too, like a hot cup of coffee on a cold mornin’.
Them bigger numbers, like 1.8 ohm and up, them are the thinner ones. Don’t need so much power, see? Maybe just 9 to 12 watts for a 1.8 ohm coil. The smoke ain’t so big, and the flavor’s not so strong, but your battery lasts longer. It’s a trade-off, ya know? Like choosin’ between a big ol’ steak or a small piece of chicken. Both fill ya up, but one’s bigger and tastier, the other lasts longer.
- Low ohm coils (like 0.6ohm, 0.7ohm): Need more power (watts), make more vapor, stronger flavor, warmer vape, battery drains faster.
- High ohm coils (like 1.8ohm, 2.4ohm, 2.8ohm): Need less power, make less vapor, milder flavor, cooler vape, battery lasts longer.
Which one’s right for you?
Well, that depends, don’t it? If you’re new to this vaping thing, they say you should start with them thinner coils, the higher ohm ones. Like that 2.4 or 2.8 ohm, they say. Get the hang of it first, ya know? Then, if you want more smoke and flavor, you can try them thicker ones, the lower ohm ones. But be careful, them thick coils need special batteries and stuff, they call it “sub-ohm” mods and tanks. Sounds fancy, huh? Just make sure it all matches up, or you might break somethin’, or worse.

Taking care of your coil
Now, these coils, they don’t last forever. You gotta change ’em out now and then. How often? Well, that depends on how much you use it, and how high you crank up the power. If the smoke starts tastin’ funny, or if it ain’t makin’ much smoke no more, it’s probably time for a new coil. Don’t be cheap, get a new one. It’s like changin’ the oil in your car, gotta do it to keep things runnin’ smooth.
Summin’ it all up
So, that’s the lowdown on coil thickness, as best as I can explain it. Thicker coils, more power, more smoke, stronger flavor, but battery dies quicker. Thinner coils, less power, less smoke, milder flavor, battery lasts longer. Start slow, learn the ropes, and take care of your stuff. That’s what I always say, no matter what you’re doin’. And remember, if you’re new to this whole thing, start with a higher ohm coil and then work your way up if you want. That’s the smart way to do it, ya know, like learnin’ to walk before you run. Now go on and enjoy your vape, but be safe about it.
Wattage and Ohms
They say you need to match the watts to the ohms, like a good pair of shoes gotta fit your feet. Too much power for a thin coil, and poof, it’s gone. Too little power for a thick coil, and you just get a little puff, nothin’ satisfying. It’s a balance, see? Like bakin’ a cake, gotta have the right amount of everything.

For example, a 0.8 ohm coil, they say it works best around 12 to 16 watts. A 0.6 ohm coil, that one needs more juice, around 20 to 25 watts. They both make a good bit of smoke, but the 0.6 ohm one, it’s a bit stronger, a bit warmer. It all comes down to what you like, what feels right in your hand and in your lungs.
So there you have it, a whole bunch of talkin’ about coil thickness. Hope it helps ya make some sense of it all. Just remember, start slow, be safe, and enjoy your vape. And if you’re still confused, ask someone who knows more than me, ‘cause I’m just tellin’ ya what I’ve heard.
