Yes, that's correct. As you said, " [a] lower-ohm atty produces more watts (heat)." However, a lower-ohm atty produces more heat because its resistance is higher, not lower. So shouldn't they be properly referred to as low-ohm atomizers instead of "low-resistance" atomizers? People seem to be confusing ohms with resistance and have the nomenclature all mixed up.

Hello. I'm extremely confused about LR (low resistance) atomizers. I know what LR atomizers are, what they do, and what they're used for, but I'm confused about why they're described as being "low resistance" when, in actuality, they should really be called high resistance. A LR atomizer produces a stronger throat hit and more vapor because it burns hotter — but it burns hotter because it has a higher resistance, not a lower resistance. The more resistance that a wire has, the hotter it becomes, and the lower the resistance, the cooler the wire is. So it seems that everyone has it backwards, i.e., people are calling atomizers that burn cooler "higher resistance," and they're calling atomizers that burn hotter "low resistance." That's totally backwards, though. What's going on with the mixed-up terminology?
