If an atomizer draws more current than a battery can safely provide, and there is no electronic cutoff in the device, the battery can overheat and go into thermal runaway. That can cause a fire, or—if the battery can't easily vent the heat—an explosion.

There are many factors determining the qualities of the vapor, but IMO the one that best answers the OP is the coil area-weighted energy density, expressed in units of energy (W) per area (mm²).
keepsmiling Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
Now, if they were water hoses they would both fill a bucket at the same rate...but if someone were to spray you with both of those different hoses individually do you think you would be able to tell them apart?
Bunnykiller ECF Guru Verified Member ECF Veteran
yes it matters.... consider you have 2 batteries both with the same voltage, but with different amp ratings. Lets say one was a 1 A rating and a second has a 30A rating.
dr g Moved On ECF Veteran
In the OP example, assuming both coils are made from the same wire, the 3Ω coil will have a much larger surface than the 0.25Ω, but only the same total energy delivered from the battery. The larger coil will have a much lower energy density, thus perform weaker than the subohm coil.
beckdg ECF Guru Verified Member ECF Veteran
Since they both result in the same amount of power going to the coil, just being achieved in different ways, the only difference is the amperage being pulled from your battery in either case.
dr g Moved On ECF Veteran
ok so now we've got a divergent opinion on the matter. This is what seems to always occur, leaving me without a unanimous decision on the subject to put my curiosity as well as my insecurity on the validity of my percipiency of the subject, to rest

It's not really a divergent opinion. You may be under the mistaken impression that output amps on a regulated circuit are the same as input amps. For example in your original post, your 13v unit can only be achieved with the same battery as the 4v example via a boost circuit.
